Share-based payment transactions among group entities (2010 amendments) B45Paragraphs43A43Caddresstheaccountingforshare-based paymenttransactionsamonggroupentitiesineachentitys separateorindividualfinancialstatements.ParagraphsB46B61 discuss how to apply the requirements in paragraphs 43A43C. As noted in paragraph 43D, share-based payment transactions among group entities may take place for a variety of reasons depending on factsandcircumstances.Therefore,thisdiscussionisnot Addendum IASCF exhaustiveandassumesthatwhentheentityreceivingthegoods orserviceshasnoobligationtosettlethetransaction,the transactionisaparentsequitycontributiontothesubsidiary, regardless of any intragroup repayment arrangements.

B47Fourissuesarecommonlyencounteredinshare-basedpayment transactions among group entities. For convenience, theexamples below discuss the issues in terms of a parent and its subsidiary. Share-based payment arrangements involving an entitys own equity instruments B48Thefirstissueiswhetherthefollowingtransactionsinvolvingan entitys own equity instruments should be accounted for as equity-settledorascash-settledinaccordancewiththerequirementsof this FRS: (a)anentitygrantstoitsemployeesrightstoequity instrumentsoftheentity(egshareoptions),andeither choosesorisrequiredtobuyequityinstruments(ie treasuryshares)fromanotherparty,tosatisfyits obligations to its employees; and (b)anentitysemployeesaregrantedrightstoequity instruments of the entity (eg share options), either by the entity itself or by its shareholders, and the shareholders of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. B49Theentityshallaccountforshare-basedpaymenttransactionsin whichitreceivesservicesasconsiderationforitsownequity instrumentsasequity-settled.Thisappliesregardlessofwhether theentitychoosesorisrequiredtobuythoseequityinstruments from another party to satisfy its obligations to its employees under the share-based payment arrangement. It also applies regardless of whether: Addendum IASCF (a)theemployeesrightstotheentitysequityinstruments weregrantedbytheentityitselforbyitsshareholder(s); or (b)theshare-basedpaymentarrangementwassettledbythe entity itself or by its shareholder(s). B50If the shareholder has an obligation to settle the transaction with its investees employees, it provides equity instruments of its investee rather than its own. Therefore, if its investee is in the same group astheshareholder,inaccordancewithparagraph43C,the shareholdershallmeasureitsobligationinaccordancewiththe requirementsapplicabletocash-settledshare-basedpayment transactions in theshareholders separatefinancialstatements and thoseapplicabletoequity-settledshare-basedpayment transactions in the shareholders consolidated financial statements. Share-based payment arrangements involving equity instruments of the parent B51Thesecondissueconcernsshare-basedpaymenttransactions betweentwoormoreentitieswithinthesamegroupinvolvingan equity instrument of another group entity. For example, employees of a subsidiary are granted rights to equity instruments of its parent as consideration for the services provided to the subsidiary. B52Therefore,thesecondissueconcernsthefollowingshare-based payment arrangements: (a)aparentgrants rights to its equity instruments directly to theemployeesofitssubsidiary:theparent(notthe subsidiary) has the obligation to provide the employees of the subsidiary with the equity instruments; and (b)asubsidiarygrantsrightstoequityinstrumentsofits parent to its employees: thesubsidiary has the obligation to provide its employees with the equity instruments. Addendum IASCF A parent grants rights to its equity instruments to the employees of its subsidiary (paragraph B52(a)) B53Thesubsidiarydoes not havean obligation to provideits parents equityinstrumentstothesubsidiarysemployees.Therefore,in accordancewithparagraph43B,thesubsidiaryshallmeasurethe servicesreceivedfromitsemployeesinaccordancewiththe requirementsapplicabletoequity-settledshare-basedpayment transactions, and recognise a corresponding increase in equity as a contribution from the parent. B54Theparenthasanobligationtosettlethetransactionwiththe subsidiarysemployeesbyprovidingtheparentsownequity instruments.Therefore,inaccordancewithparagraph43C,the parentshallmeasureitsobligationinaccordancewiththe requirementsapplicabletoequity-settledshare-basedpayment transactions. A subsidiary grants rights to equity instruments of its parent to its employees (paragraph B52(b)) B55Becausethesubsidiarydoesnotmeeteitheroftheconditionsin paragraph43B,itshallaccountforthetransactionwithits employees as cash-settled. This requirement applies irrespective of howthesubsidiaryobtainstheequityinstrumentstosatisfyits obligations to its employees. Share-based payment arrangements involving cash-settled payments to employees B56Thethirdissueishowanentitythatreceivesgoodsorservices from its suppliers (including employees) should account for share-based arrangements that are cash-settled when the entity itself does nothaveanyobligationtomaketherequiredpaymentstoits suppliers.Forexample,considerthefollowingarrangementsin whichtheparent(nottheentityitself)hasanobligationtomake the required cash payments to the employees of the entity: (a)theemployeesoftheentitywillreceivecashpayments that are linked to the price of its equity instruments. Addendum IASCF (b)theemployeesoftheentitywillreceivecashpayments thatarelinkedtothepriceofitsparentsequity instruments. B57The subsidiary does not have an obligation to settle the transaction with its employees. Therefore, the subsidiary shall account for the transactionwithitsemployeesasequity-settled,andrecognisea corresponding increase in equity as a contribution from its parent.Thesubsidiaryshallremeasurethecostofthetransaction subsequentlyforanychangesresultingfromnon-marketvesting conditionsnotbeingmetinaccordancewithparagraphs1921.Thisdiffersfromthemeasurementofthetransactionascash-settled in the consolidated financial statements of the group. B58Becausetheparent has an obligation to settlethetransactionwith theemployees,andtheconsiderationiscash,theparent(andthe consolidatedgroup)shallmeasureitsobligationinaccordance withtherequirementsapplicabletocash-settledshare-based payment transactions in paragraph 43C. Transfer of employees between group entities B59Thefourthissuerelatestogroupshare-basedpayment arrangementsthatinvolveemployeesofmorethanonegroup entity.Forexample,aparentmightgrantrightstoitsequity instrumentstotheemployeesofitssubsidiaries,conditionalupon the completion of continuing service with the group for a specified period. An employee of one subsidiary might transfer employment toanothersubsidiaryduringthespecifiedvestingperiodwithout the employees rights to equity instruments of the parent under the originalshare-basedpaymentarrangementbeingaffected.Ifthe subsidiarieshavenoobligationtosettletheshare-basedpayment transaction with their employees, they account for it as an equity-settledtransaction.Eachsubsidiaryshallmeasuretheservices receivedfromtheemployeebyreferencetothefairvalueofthe equity instruments at the date the rights to those equity instruments wereoriginallygrantedbytheparentasdefinedinAppendixA, and the proportion of the vesting period the employee served with each subsidiary. Addendum IASCF B60If the subsidiary has an obligation to settle the transaction with its employeesinitsparentsequityinstruments,itaccountsforthe transactionascash-settled.Eachsubsidiaryshallmeasurethe services received on the basis of grant date fair value of the equity instrumentsfortheproportionofthevestingperiodtheemployee servedwitheachsubsidiary.Inaddition,eachsubsidiaryshall recogniseanychangeinthefairvalueoftheequityinstruments during the employees service period with each subsidiary. B61Suchanemployee,aftertransferringbetweengroupentities,may fail to satisfy avesting condition other than amarket condition as definedinAppendixA,egtheemployeeleavesthegroupbefore completingtheserviceperiod.Inthiscase,becausethevesting conditionisservicetothegroup,eachsubsidiaryshalladjustthe amountpreviouslyrecognisedinrespectoftheservicesreceived from the employee in accordance with the principles in paragraph 19.Hence,iftherightstotheequityinstrumentsgrantedbythe parentdonotvestbecauseofanemployeesfailuretomeeta vestingconditionotherthanamarketcondition,noamountis recognisedonacumulativebasisfortheservicesreceivedfrom that employee in the financial statements of any group entity.
