ANNEX

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle (1)

Amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment

Paragraphs 15 and 19 were amended and paragraph 63B was added.

Transactions in which services are received

...

| 15 | If the equity instruments granted do not vest until the counterparty completes a specified period of service, the entity shall presume that the services to be rendered by the counterparty as consideration for those equity instruments will be received in the future, during the vesting period. The entity shall account for those services as they are rendered by the counterparty during the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity. For example:






  (a) | ... |
| --- | --- | --- |

15

(a)

...

| (b) | if an employee is granted share options conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition and remaining in the entity's employ until that performance condition is satisfied, and the length of the vesting period varies depending on when that performance condition is satisfied, the entity shall presume that the services to be rendered by the employee as consideration for the share options will be received in the future, over the expected vesting period. ... |
| --- | --- |

(b)

if an employee is granted share options conditional upon the achievement of a performance condition and remaining in the entity's employ until that performance condition is satisfied, and the length of the vesting period varies depending on when that performance condition is satisfied, the entity shall presume that the services to be rendered by the employee as consideration for the share options will be received in the future, over the expected vesting period. ...

Treatment of vesting conditions

| 19 | A grant of equity instruments might be conditional upon satisfying specified vesting conditions. For example, a grant of shares or share options to an employee is typically conditional on the employee remaining in the entity's employ for a specified period of time. There might be performance conditions that must be satisfied, such as the entity achieving a specified growth in profit or a specified increase in the entity's share price. Vesting conditions, other than market conditions, shall not be taken into account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options at the measurement date. Instead, vesting conditions shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognised for goods or services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Hence, on a cumulative basis, no amount is recognised for goods or services received if the equity instruments granted do not vest because of failure to satisfy a vesting condition, eg the counterparty fails to complete a specified service period, or a performance condition is not satisfied, subject to the requirements of paragraph 21.

  (a) | attaining a specified share price or a specified amount of intrinsic value of a share option or |

...

market condition

A performance condition upon which the exercise price, vesting or exercisability of an equity instrument depends that is related to the market price (or value) of the entity's equity instruments (or the equity instruments of another entity in the same group), such as:

(a)

attaining a specified share price or a specified amount of intrinsic value of a share option or

| (b) | achieving a specified target that is based on the market price (or value) of the entity's equity instruments (or the equity instruments of another entity in the same group) relative to an index of market prices of equity instruments of other entities. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

achieving a specified target that is based on the market price (or value) of the entity's equity instruments (or the equity instruments of another entity in the same group) relative to an index of market prices of equity instruments of other entities.

A market condition requires the counterparty to complete a specified period of service (ie a service condition); the service requirement can be explicit or implicit.

...

performance condition

A vesting condition that requires:

| (a) | the counterparty to complete a specified period of service (ie a service condition); the service requirement can be explicit or implicit; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the counterparty to complete a specified period of service (ie a service condition); the service requirement can be explicit or implicit; and

| (b) | specified performance target(s) to be met while the counterparty is rendering the service required in (a). |
| --- | --- |

(b)

specified performance target(s) to be met while the counterparty is rendering the service required in (a).

The period of achieving the performance target(s):

| (a) | shall not extend beyond the end of the service period; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

shall not extend beyond the end of the service period; and

| (b) | may start before the service period on the condition that the commencement date of the performance target is not substantially before the commencement of the service period. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

may start before the service period on the condition that the commencement date of the performance target is not substantially before the commencement of the service period.

A performance target is defined by reference to:

| (a) | the entity's own operations (or activities) or the operations or activities of another entity in the same group (ie a non-market condition); or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

the entity's own operations (or activities) or the operations or activities of another entity in the same group (ie a non-market condition); or

...

service condition

A vesting condition that requires the counterparty to complete a specified period of service during which services are provided to the entity. If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, it has failed to satisfy the condition. A service condition does not require a performance target to be met.

...

vesting conditions

Amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations

Paragraphs 40 and 58 are amended and paragraph 64I and paragraph 67A and its related heading are added.

Contingent consideration

...

| 40 | The acquirer shall classify an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument as a financial liability or as equity on the basis of the definitions of an equity instrument and a financial liability in paragraph 11 of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The acquirer shall classify as an asset a right to the return of previously transferred consideration if specified conditions are met. Paragraph 58 provides guidance on the subsequent accounting for contingent consideration.
  ... |
| --- | --- |

40

...

Contingent consideration

| 58 | Some changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that the acquirer recognises after the acquisition date may be the result of additional information that the acquirer obtained after that date about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. Such changes are measurement period adjustments in accordance with paragraphs 45–49. However, changes resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as meeting an earnings target, reaching a specified share price or reaching a milestone on a research and development project, are not measurement period adjustments. The acquirer shall account for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that are not measurement period adjustments as follows:






  (a) | ... |
| --- | --- | --- |

58

(a)

...

| (b) | Other contingent consideration that:

| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

Other contingent consideration that:

(i)

is within the scope of IFRS 9 shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognised in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

...

Effective date

An entity shall apply that amendment prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014. Earlier application is permitted. An entity may apply the amendment earlier provided that IFRS 9 and IAS 37 (both as amended by Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle) have also been applied. If an entity applies that amendment earlier it shall disclose that fact.
  ... |
| --- | --- |

  (a) | the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the gross carrying amount may be restated by reference to observable market data or it may be restated proportionately to the change in the carrying amount.

(a)

the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset.

The accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment losses; or

| (b) | the accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. |

Amendment to IAS 38 Intangible Assets

Paragraph 80 is amended and paragraphs 130H–130I are added.

Revaluation model

...

| 80 | When an intangible asset is revalued, the carrying amount of that asset is adjusted to the revalued amount. At the date of the revaluation, the asset is treated in one of the following ways:






  (a) | the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the gross carrying amount may be restated by reference to observable market data or it may be restated proportionately to the change in the carrying amount. The accumulated amortisation at the date of the revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment losses; or |

80

(a)

the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. For example, the gross carrying amount may be restated by reference to observable market data or it may be restated proportionately to the change in the carrying amount. The accumulated amortisation at the date of the revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment losses; or

| (b) | the accumulated amortisation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the accumulated amortisation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

The amount of the adjustment of accumulated amortisation forms part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount that is accounted for in accordance with paragraphs 85 and 86.
