At the acquisition date, Subsidiary Ltd had issued capital of $100,000 and retained earnings of $100,000. Note: Goodwill was calculated as $20,000 using a full goodwill method. During 2020/21 financial year, BKL Ltd and Subsidiary Ltd recorded profits of $100,000 and $50,000 respectively. BKL Ltd sold inventory with a cost of $5,000 to Subsidiary for $$9,000. 80% of this inventory was still on hand of Subsidiary on 30 June 2021.

Dear Aaron,
I have prepared the draft statement of advice for the following three clients regarding their concerns listed below:
Client 1: Max Hills Ltd
Recognition of assets and liabilities in business combination
Dear Client,
Thank you for writing an email. We are hereby providing an explanation for each question,
Intangible assets
To record an intangible asset in the books the Company should demo
nstrate that the item meets the definition of an intangible asset (Paragraph 8-17 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets) and the recognition criteria (Paragraph 21-23 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets). An intangible asset is identifiable if it meets either the reparability criterion or the contractual-legal criterion. (Paragraphs B31–B40 of AASB 3 Business Combinations).
To recognize an intangible asset it should be identifiable, which means it is separable from the entity and sold, transferred, licenced, rented or exchanged, either individually or together etc. (Paragraph 12 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets)
To recognize an intangible asset in the books it should be controlled by the Company and the company has the power to enjoy all future economic benefits from that asset the Company can restrict or prohibit the access of others to all such benefits. (Paragraph 13 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets)
To recognize an intangible asset in the books there should be future economic benefits from an intangible asset. (Paragraph 17 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets)
The most important part of recording an intangible asset in the books is whether the intangible asset is meeting the recognition criteria. Internally generated goodwill shall not be recognised as an asset as it does not result in the creation of an intangible asset that meets the recognition criteria and it is not an identifiable resource. Internally generated goodwill is not separable nor does it arise from contractual or other legal rights. It is not controlled by the Company and the Company can not measure it reliably at cost. (Paragraph 48-50 of AASB 138 Intangible Assets)
a) a household brand name which the market has valued at $10 million;
As discussed in the above paragraphs, it is an internally generated goodwill, and we should not recognize it as an asset. It is not identifiable and controlled by the Company and we cannot measure it reliably at cost. The contractual-legal criterion is also not there hence we should not recognize it as an intangible asset. A brand name is of great value to the company but considering one cannot sell it separately nor it has can be valued therefore this cannot be recognized as an asset.
b) a customer list consisting of information about customers, such as their name, personal preferences, order or product backlog and contact information, which is estimated to have a fair value of $5 million;
The Company should not recognise this also as an Intangible asset because there is no legal right to protect, or other ways to control, the relationships with customers or their personal preferences or the loyalty of the customers to the entity, the entity usually has insufficient control over the expected future economic benefits from customer relationships and loyalty for such items to meet the definition of intangible asset. The contractual-legal criterion is also not there hence we should not recognize it as an intangible asset. (Paragraph 16 of AASB 138) (Paragraph B32 of AASB 3). The International Account Standards as well as the AASB do not allow the recognition of the customer list as an asset because this is highly confidential data that the company collects and in no circumstances the firm can sell this.
c) a good customer relationship (customer contracts and related customer relationships)
which is highly valued by Subsidiary Ltd, but which is estimated to have a fair value of only $1 million once the ownership and management of Subsidiary Ltd are changed through the acquisition.
A good customer relationship is also not an Intangible asset because there is no legal right to protect, or other ways to control, the relationships with customers or...
