Business Combinations

Business combinations The acquisition of an entire company Understanding the reporting benefits that
caused firms to favor the pooling method prior to July 1, 2001
Purchase accounting procedures at alternative prices
Pooling of Interests accounting procedures (appendix)
C01 3
Basic issues in combinations The motivation to combine Pre-acquisition audit confirms value Every deal focuses on market values Asset acquisition versus stock acquisition
(investment)
C01 4
Basic issues in combinations (continued) Purchase versus pooling
– purchase is group asset acquisition at market values
– pooling was merging of accounts at book value
Pooling not allowed after July 1, 2001

Major issues

Purchase price rulesPremium Price - Price high enough to record all accounts at fair value, excess price is goodwill with no amortization, but required impairment testing
Bargain - Priority accounts at fair value, balance of price allocated to non priority accounts.
Extraordinary Gain - Price paid is less than priority accounts, excess of priority accounts over price is extraordinary gain.
C01 9
Priority accounts All current assets All liabilities Deferred tax assets Pension and other post retirement benefit
plan assets Nonpriority assets that are to be sold

Price zone analysis
1. Calculate the market value net assets:• Using fair values, net assets = $515,000
C01 12
Price zone analysis (continued)2. Determine the 3 price zones:
• Premium: Over $515,000all accounts at fair value, goodwill for price over $515,000
• Bargain: $65,000 [priority] to $515,000priority accounts at fair value; balance allocated to nonpriority accounts
• Extraordinary Gain: Below $65,000priority accounts at fair value; other accounts not recorded; extraordinary gain for excess of priority accounts over price paid

Bonds payable 100,000Premium on bonds payable (to fair value) 5,000Cash 600,000
Goodwill is not amortized, but could be impairment adjusted at a later date

C01 17
Goodwill impairmentTest: Goodwill is impaired if estimated value of business unit is less that remaining book value of net assets (including goodwill).
New GW estimate = (estimated value of business unit) – (new estimate of identifiable net assets at fair value)
Impairment Loss = Book value of GW – new estimate.
C01 18
Impairment exampleRecorded $100,000 goodwill in purchase three years ago. Now
Net assets at book value =$650,000Fair value of the business unit =$625,000Fair value net identifiable assets
(not including goodwill) =$580,000

C01 20
Purchase: some fine points Direct acquisition costs are paid
to outside parties; include them in the price paid
Indirect acquisition costs are internally incurred; they are expensed
Issue costs are to issue bonds or stock; they are subtracted from the value assigned to the securities
Stocks and bonds issued are always recorded at fair value in a purchase
C01 21
Purchase complications May have to calculate market value of debt
issues Leases retain classification, related accounts
recorded at market value DTL goes with assets in non-taxable exchange Tax loss carry over is usually recorded as an
asset. If realization is uncertain, it is not recorded and is buried in goodwill
C01 22
Purchase complications (continued) There may be contingent goodwill
payment. Added goodwill is recorded Price guarantees cover decline in value of
securities issued in purchase. If issued, value assigned to securities is adjusted
C01 23
Example of tax-free exchange The price paid for a company is $480,000 The only asset is a machine with a book value of
300,000 and a market value of $400,000 The tax rate is 40% A $40,000 DTL goes with the Machine The remaining price is $120,000 ($480 - $400 + $40) $120,000 is available for goodwill net of a 40% DTL Goodwill = $120,000 (1.0 - .4) = $200,000
C01 24
Tax-free exchange: journal entry
Machine (fair value) 400,000Goodwill (gross value) 200,000
Deferred Tax Liability* 120,000Cash 480,000
* $40,000 on machine and $80,000 on goodwill
The DTLs are amortized over the same life (and by the same method) as the assets to which they attach

Pooling analysisIssuer will issue $50 market value shares to meet the $600,000 market value. $600,000 $50 = 12,000 shares issued.
The deal is based on market values; but they are not recorded! The assets and liabilities are recorded at book value Pooling transfer rule is used to assign equity amounts Assume the following par values for shares issued:
$.50 $5 $10

Special issues in a pooling Direct, indirect and issue costs are expensed Combiner existing goodwill is recorded Adjustments may be made to accounts for:
– Lower of cost or market adjustments– Changes in accounting principles (for uniformity)– Record unrecorded items– Error correction
All adjustments are made to combiner retained earnings before the equity transfer diagram is applied
