    Scope

    Theconceptofsharebasedpaymentsisbroaderthanemployeeshareoptions.IFRS2encompassestheissuanceofshares,orrightstoshares,inreturnforservicesandgoods.ExamplesofitemsincludedinthescopeofIFRS2areshareappreciationrights,employeesharepurchaseplans,employeeshareownershipplans,shareoptionplansandplanswheretheissuanceofshares(orrightstoshares)maydependonmarketornonmarketrelatedconditions.

    Second,IFRS2doesnotaddresssharebasedpaymentswithinthescopeofparagraphs810ofIAS32FinancialInstruments:Presentation,orparagraphs57ofIAS39FinancialInstruments:RecognitionandMeasurement.Therefore,IAS32andIAS39shouldbeappliedforcommoditybasedderivativecontractsthatmaybesettledinsharesorrightstoshares.

    Theissuanceoffullyvestedshares,orrightstoshares,ispresumedtorelatetopastservice,requiringthefullamountofthegrantdatefairvaluetobeexpensedimmediately.Theissuanceofsharestoemployeeswith,say,athreeyearvestingperiodisconsideredtorelatetoservicesoverthevestingperiod.Therefore,thefairvalueofthesharebasedpayment,determinedatthegrantdate,shouldbeexpensedoverthevestingperiod.

    Determiningwhetheratransactionisabusinesscombination

    IFRS3providesadditionalguidanceondeterminingwhetheratransactionmeetsthedefinitionofabusinesscombination,andsoaccountedforinaccordancewithitsrequirements.Thisguidanceincludes:

    Businesscombinationscanoccurinvariousways,suchasbytransferringcash,incurringliabilities,issuingequityinstruments(oranycombinationthereof),orbynotissuingconsiderationatall(i.e.bycontractalone)[IFRS3.B5]

    Businesscombinationscanbestructuredinvariouswaystosatisfylegal,taxationorotherobjectives,includingoneentitybecomingasubsidiaryofanother,thetransferofnetassetsfromoneentitytoanotherortoanewentity[IFRS3.B6]

    MethodofaccountingforbusinesscombinationsAcquisitionmethod

    Theacquisitionmethod(calledthe'purchasemethod'inthe2004versionofIFRS3)isusedforallbusinesscombinations.[IFRS3.4]

    Stepsinapplyingtheacquisitionmethodare:[IFRS3.5]

    1. Identificationofthe'acquirer'

    2. Determinationofthe'acquisitiondate'

    3. Recognitionandmeasurementoftheidentifiableassetsacquired,theliabilitiesassumedandanynoncontrollinginterest(NCI,formerlycalledminorityinterest)intheacquiree

    4. Recognitionandmeasurementofgoodwilloragainfromabargainpurchase

    Identifyinganacquirer

    TheguidanceinIFRS10ConsolidatedFinancialStatementsisusedtoidentifyanacquirerinabusinesscombination,i.e.theentitythatobtains'control'oftheacquiree.[IFRS3.7]
