Group profile and case conventions

Sorvane Group SA (fictitious entity) closes its consolidated accounts on 31 December 20X6. Case conventions: amounts in EUR; fair values, discount rates, percentages and allocation keys are case data; case convention (pedagogical assumption, not attributed to IFRS 3): Tarvel is a business, Sorvane is its acquirer and the acquisition date is 1 October 20X6, as established by the identification analysis; for Tarvel, the non-controlling interest, made up of ordinary shares only, is measured at the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets; deferred tax effects are set aside; the expense of the replacement award is spread on a straight-line basis; the entries are illustrative: the combination entry records the assets and liabilities assumed excluding leases, and the lease entry records the lease liability and the right-of-use asset, the difference against market terms being charged to goodwill.

Purchase price allocation: consideration transferred, fair values, deferred tax, non-controlling interest (two methods), goodwill or gain on a bargain purchase and allocation of goodwill: Tarvel — lease

File of an acquiring group: complex allocation (leases, reacquired rights, replacement awards, employee benefits, liabilities within IAS 37), reverse acquisition in outline, allocation of goodwill and disclosures

Context

Sorvane Group SA (fictitious entity) takes control of Tarvel Technologies SA in 20X6 by increasing its interest from 20 % to 70 %. The consolidation file must deal with the measurement exceptions (lease, reacquired right, replacement award, retirement plan, litigation, insurance contracts), the previous interest, the items outside the exchange, the goodwill, its allocation to cash-generating units, a reverse acquisition and the disclosures.

Assignment

Purchase price allocation of Tarvel, lease and allocation of goodwill

Purpose of the workpaper

List the consideration transferred, the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, the deferred tax on the fair value uplift, the non-controlling interest under both methods and the previously held interest; compute the goodwill or the excess to reassess, record the combination and allocate the goodwill to the cash-generating units. Fair values, rates, percentages and allocation keys are case data; the method chosen for the non-controlling interest is a choice of the acquirer, never imposed by the standard.
