Applicable accounting pronouncement

ASC 805-20-25 Business Combinations-Identifiable assets and liabilities and any non controlling interest-Recognition

Recognition Conditions

25-2 To qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, at the acquisition date. For example, costs the acquirer expects but is not obligated to incur in the future to effect its plan to exit an activity of an acquiree or to terminate the employment of or relocate an acquiree’s employees are not liabilities at the acquisition date. Therefore, the acquirer does not recognize those costs as part of applying the acquisition method. Instead, the acquirer recognizes those costs in its postcombination financial statements in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

25-3 In addition, to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must be part of what the acquirer and the acquiree (or its former owners) exchanged in the business combination transaction rather than the result of separate transactions. The acquirer shall apply the guidance in paragraphs 805-10-25-20 through 25-23 to determine which assets acquired or liabilities assumed are part of the exchange for the acquiree and which, if any, are the result of separate transactions to be accounted for in accordance with their nature and the applicable GAAP.

25-4 The acquirer’s application of the recognition principle and conditions may result in

    The pooling-of-interests method of accounting for mergers will no longer be accepted. Goodwill will no longer be amortized, but evaluated on an annual basis for impairment. Impairment testing will be performed at the reporting-unit level on an annual basis. Impairment must be measured using a two-step approach, requiring institutions to determine fair values for each reporting unit. These changes in accounting for business combinations not only affect future mergers and acquisitions of oil, gas, and energy companies, but also those companies that are currently carrying goodwill on their balance sheets from previous acquisitions. Under the new standard, a company may avoid a charge against net income if they can show that goodwill has not been impaired. The elimination of the annual goodwill amortization charge will improve not only a firm's net income, but also ratios that include assets or net income in their calculation (McCarthy, M., Christian, C., & Douglas, K. S. (2002)). SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, materially change the financial accounting for merger and acquisition transactions. Under SFAS 141, the pooling-of-interests method of…
