Purpose of Intercorporate Expansion

أسباب التوسع بين الشركات

Companies expand to increase profitability, gain economies of scale, diversify risk, enter new markets, obtain managerial talent, and enhance competitive position.

تتوسع الشركات لزيادة الربحية، وتحقيق وفورات الحجم، وتنويع المخاطر، ودخول أسواق جديدة، والحصول على كفاءات إدارية، وتعزيز القدرة التنافسية.

  • Increase Profitability
    زيادة الربحية
  • Economies of Scale
    وفورات الحجم
  • Diversify Risk
    تنويع المخاطر
  • Enter New Markets
    دخول أسواق جديدة

Concept of Control and Subsidiary

مفهوم السيطرة والشركة التابعة

A parent controls a subsidiary when it has power to govern financial and operating policies. Usually achieved by owning more than 50% of voting shares, but may arise through agreements.

تتحقق السيطرة عندما تمتلك الشركة الأم القدرة على توجيه السياسات المالية والتشغيلية للشركة التابعة، وغالبًا عبر امتلاك أكثر من 50٪ من الأسهم ذات حق التصويت، وقد تنشأ عبر اتفاقيات تعاقدية.

Key Requirement

Control = Power to govern financial and operating policies

السيطرة = القدرة على توجيه السياسات المالية والتشغيلية

Internal vs External Expansion

التوسع الداخلي مقابل الخارجي

Internal Expansion

Growth within the company using existing resources. Transfers use book values and do not create gains.

توسع داخلي: نمو داخل الشركة باستخدام مواردها. التحويلات الداخلية تُسجل بالقيمة الدفترية دون تحقيق أرباح.

External Expansion

Acquiring another company's net assets or shares.

توسع خارجي: شراء صافي أصول أو أسهم شركة أخرى.

Organizational Forms After Combination

الأشكال التنظيمية بعد الاندماج

  • 1
    Statutory Merger – one company survives, other dissolved
    اندماج قانوني – شركة تبقى وأخرى تنحل
  • 2
    Statutory Consolidation – new company formed
    توحيد قانوني – تكوين شركة جديدة
  • 3
    Stock Acquisition – parent buys shares; subsidiary remains legal entity
    اقتناء أسهم – تبقى الشركة التابعة ككيان قانوني
  • 4
    Holding Company – new parent formed to hold subsidiaries
    شركة قابضة – كيان جديد يمتلك الشركات التابعة

Parent–Subsidiary Relationship

علاقة الشركة الأم بالتابعة

Even if legally separate, financial reporting treats them as a single economic entity through consolidation.

رغم الاستقلال القانوني، تُعامل محاسبيًا كوحدة اقتصادية واحدة من خلال القوائم الموحدة.

Key Principle

Legal Entity ≠ Economic Entity

Consolidated statements present the combined financial position as if parent and subsidiaries were one company.

القوائم الموحدة تعرض المركز المالي المجمع كما لو كانت الأم والتابعة شركة واحدة.

Acquisition Method (IFRS 3)

طريقة الاستحواذ

All identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree are recorded at fair value on acquisition date.

تُثبت جميع الأصول والالتزامات المحددة للشركة المقتناة بالقيمة العادلة في تاريخ الاقتناء.

Steps of Acquisition Method
  • 1
    Identify the acquirer
  • 2
    Determine acquisition date
  • 3
    Measure consideration transferred
  • 4
    Recognize identifiable assets, liabilities, and NCI at fair value
  • 5
    Recognize goodwill or gain

Measurement of Consideration

قياس المقابل

Includes cash, assets transferred, liabilities incurred, equity issued, and contingent consideration measured at fair value.

يشمل المقابل المدفوع نقدًا أو أصولًا أو التزامات أو أسهمًا مصدرة، إضافةً إلى المقابل الاحتمالي بالقيمة العادلة.

Cash

Direct payment to shareholders

Equity Issued

Shares issued at fair value

Assets Transferred

Non-cash assets at fair value

Contingent Consideration

Future payments at fair value

Goodwill

الشهرة

Goodwill = Consideration Transferred + FV of NCI + FV of Previous Interest − FV of Net Identifiable Assets
الشهرة = المقابل المحول + القيمة العادلة للحصة غير المسيطرة + القيمة العادلة للحصة السابقة − صافي الأصول المحددة
  • 1
    Consideration Transferred: Total fair value paid by the acquirer
    إجمالي القيمة العادلة للمقابل المدفوع
  • 2
    FV of NCI: Fair value of non-controlling interest
    القيمة العادلة لنصيب المساهمين غير المسيطرين
  • 3
    FV of Previous Interest: Remeasured at acquisition date (step acquisition)
    تُعاد قياس الحصة السابقة بالقيمة العادلة
  • 4
    FV of Net Identifiable Assets: Fair value of assets minus liabilities
    صافي القيمة العادلة للأصول المحددة ناقص الالتزامات

What Goodwill Represents

ما تمثله الشهرة

Future economic benefits not individually identifiable: synergies, brand reputation, skilled workforce.

منافع اقتصادية مستقبلية غير قابلة للتحديد منفردة مثل التآزر وسمعة العلامة التجارية والكفاءات البشرية.

Logic of the Equation

Total value of company acquired − Fair value of identifiable net assets = Value of "extra" benefits → Goodwill

قيمة الشركة بالكامل مطروحًا منها صافي الأصول القابلة للتحديد = قيمة المنافع غير الملموسة الإضافية (الشهرة)

Bargain Purchase

الشراء بأقل من القيمة العادلة

If fair value of net assets exceeds consideration, recognize a gain in income after reassessment.

إذا زادت القيمة العادلة لصافي الأصول عن المقابل المدفوع، يُعترف بربح بعد إعادة التقييم.

Gain = FV of Net Identifiable Assets − Consideration Transferred
الربح = صافي الأصول المحددة بالقيمة العادلة − المقابل المدفوع
Important

Before recognizing a gain, must reassess that all assets and liabilities have been properly identified and measured.

Acquisition Costs

تكاليف الاستحواذ

Expense Immediately

Professional and administrative costs (finder's fees, legal fees, audit fees)

أتعاب مهنية وإدارية → مصروف

Deduct from Equity

Costs of issuing shares (registration fees, listing fees)

تكاليف إصدار الأسهم → تخصم من حقوق الملكية

Identifiable Intangible Assets

الأصول غير الملموسة المحددة

Recognized separately if contractual/legal or separable (patents, trademarks, customer lists, licenses).

تُثبت الأصول غير الملموسة بشكل منفصل إذا كانت تعاقدية أو قابلة للفصل مثل براءات الاختراع والعلامات التجارية وقوائم العملاء.

  • Patents
    براءات الاختراع
  • Trademarks
    العلامات التجارية
  • Customer Lists
    قوائم العملاء
  • Licenses
    التراخيص

Noncontrolling Interest (NCI)

الحصة غير المسيطرة

Portion of equity in subsidiary not attributable to parent; presented within equity separately.

يمثل نصيب حقوق الملكية في الشركة التابعة غير المملوك للأم ويُعرض ضمن حقوق الملكية.

Presentation

NCI is presented as a separate component within Equity in consolidated financial statements, not as a liability.

تُعرض الحصة غير المسيطرة كعنصر منفصل ضمن حقوق الملكية وليس كالتزام.

Post-Acquisition Reporting

التقرير بعد الاستحواذ

Consolidated statements include only post-acquisition revenues and expenses of subsidiary.

القوائم الموحدة تتضمن إيرادات ومصروفات الشركة التابعة بعد تاريخ الاقتناء فقط.

Key Rule

Only include subsidiary's results from acquisition date forward. Pre-acquisition results belong to previous owners.
