Guidance on intangible assets
Definition (IAS 38):
An intangible asset is a non-monetary asset without
physical substance, and must be identifiable.
• To be identifiable, the intangible asset must be:
• Separable (capable of being separated/divided
from the entity and sold, transferred, rented,
exchanged), or
• Arise out of a contractual or other legal right

Goodwill/ gain from bargain purchase
• Occasionally a gain on bargain purchase will arise.
• Before such a gain is recognised, the acquirer shall:
o Reassess whether it has correctly identified all Assets
acquired & Liabilities assumed
o Recognise additional assets or liabilities identified;
o Review procedures used to measure amounts that IFRS
3 requires to be recognised @ acquisition date for all of
the following:
1. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed;
2. Non-controlling interest;
3. For a BC achieved in stages
o Acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree; and
4. Consideration transferred.
42
Measurement period
• General rule:
o Measure in accordance with relevant IFRS/ IAS Standard
46
•Indemnification assets - an acquirer recognises
indemnification assets at the same time and on the
same basis as the indemnified item [IFRS 3.27-28]
48
Subsequent measurement:
Contingent consideration
• Changes in FV may be due to additional info obtained
o These are measurement period changes (see par .45 - .49)
• Other changes (reaching specific share price, milestone on
project, meeting earnings target) are not measurement
period changes
• Accounted for as follows:
o Contingent consideration classified as equity:
not remeasured, settlement accounted for in equity
o Contingent consideration classified as asset/liability:
• If inside scope of IFRS 9
Measure at fair value (P/L to Other Comprehensive Income)
If not inside scope of IFRS 9
Measure in accordance with IAS 37.
