Accounting Policy
Business combination The acquisition method is used to account for each business combination conducted by the Company. The consideration transferred for acquiring a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued by the Company. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, where applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss for the year, as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. In accordance with IFRS 3, the purchase price is determined by the sum of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, equity interests issued, non-controlling interest and the fair value of any interest held prior to the transaction. In accordance with IFRS 3, the acquirer must recognize goodwill for expected future profitability on the acquisition date, measured by the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired (purchase price allocation). The goodwill for expected future profitability is recorded in intangible assets and, since it does not have a defined useful life, it is not amortized and the Company is required to perform impairment testing, in accordance to the requirements in IAS 36. The Company has up to 12 months to adjust the measurement of the amounts due to events not considered.
