The accounting acquiree must be a business, and all recognition and measurement principles of 805-10, 805-20 and 805-30 (including goodwill) apply, but consideration transferred is imputed as the number of shares the legal subsidiary would have had to issue to give the legal parent's owners their resulting ownership percentage (805-40-30-2). The consolidated statements are issued in the legal parent's name yet are a continuation of the legal subsidiary's financial statements, with the subsidiary's legal capital retroactively restated to the parent's equity structure (805-40-45-1 through 45-2).","concepts":["reverse acquisition","accounting acquirer versus legal acquirer","consideration effectively transferred","exchange ratio","noncontrolling interest at precombination carrying amount","retroactive restatement of legal capital","goodwill measurement","earnings per share restatement"],"categories":["Business combinations","Consolidation","Financial statement presentation","Earnings per share"],"level":"advanced","topic_title":"Business Combinations","sections":[{"number":"00","label":"00 Status","anchor":"00-status","is_sec":false,"groups":[{"block":null,"heading":null,"paragraphs":[{"citation":"805-40-00-1","para":"00-1","html":"<div class=\"asc-body\"><div class=\"norm-text\">The following table identifies the changes made to this Subtopic.</div><div class=\"norm-text\"><table class=\"asc-table\" frame=\"all\" id=\"SL6788850-166051\"><tr><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Paragraph</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Action</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Accounting Standards Update</strong></td><td class=\"entry\"><strong class=\"ph b\">Date</strong></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td><td class=\"entry\"></td></tr><tr><td class=\"entry\"><a href=\"/glossary/a/#acquiree\" class=\"term\" title=\"The business or businesses that the acquirer obtains control of in a business combination.

The accounting acquiree must be a business, and all recognition and measurement principles of 805-10, 805-20 and 805-30 (including goodwill) apply, but consideration transferred is imputed as the number of shares the legal subsidiary would have had to issue to give the legal parent's owners their resulting ownership percentage (805-40-30-2). The consolidated statements are issued in the legal parent's name yet are a continuation of the legal subsidiary's financial statements, with the subsidiary's legal capital retroactively restated to the parent's equity structure (805-40-45-1 through 45-2).","key_points":["A transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition only if the accounting acquiree meets the definition of a business, and all recognition principles of 805-10, 805-20 and 805-30 — including recognizing goodwill — apply (805-40-25-1).","The acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred is based on the number of equity interests the legal subsidiary would hypothetically have had to issue to give the legal parent's owners the same percentage interest in the combined entity, measured using the most reliable measure of fair value (805-40-30-2; 805-40-55-10).","The legal subsidiary's (accounting acquirer's) assets, liabilities, retained earnings and other equity are carried at precombination carrying amounts, while the legal parent's (accounting acquiree's) assets and liabilities are recognized and measured under the acquisition method (805-40-45-2(a)-(c)).","Owners of the legal acquiree who do not exchange their shares become a noncontrolling interest, measured at their proportionate share of the legal subsidiary's precombination carrying amounts rather than fair value (805-40-25-2; 805-40-30-3; 805-40-45-2(e)).","Issued equity in the consolidated balance sheet equals the accounting acquirer's precombination issued equity plus the fair value of consideration effectively transferred, but the number and type of shares reflect the legal parent's equity structure, with comparatives retroactively adjusted (805-40-45-1; 45-2(d); 45-3; illustrated at 805-40-55-14).","For EPS, weighted-average shares before the acquisition date are the accounting acquirer's historical weighted-average shares multiplied by the exchange ratio, and actual legal acquirer shares thereafter; prior comparative-period EPS uses the accounting acquirer's income over its restated share count (805-40-45-4; 45-5)."],"categories":["Business combinations","Consolidation","Financial statement presentation","Earnings per share"],"audience_level":"advanced","student_note":"Reverse acquisitions are the standard accounting model for private companies going public via a shell or SPAC merger, so exam questions focus on identifying the accounting acquirer and computing imputed consideration and goodwill.
