Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is determined by reference to the share price. Notes to the financial statements Note 22. Business combinations (continued) 31 On the acquisition of a business, the Consolidated Entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Consolidated Entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent and deferred consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent and deferred consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent and deferred consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. Note 23. Events after the reporting period On 1 July 2023, 3,473,653 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the Company with an exercise price of $0.07 (7 cents) expired. On 10 July 2023, $3.07 million was received from Maari oil sales in June 2023, reducing the trade and other receivables in note 10. On 23 August 2023, the Consolidated Entity announced the results from the drilling and testing at the BA-01 well in the Mahato PSC. The conclusion reached was that no hydrocarbons had been identified. The Mahato PSC partners will continue to identify and assess further exploration opportunities in Mahato's PB Field. 79 Cue Energy Resources Limited Annual Report 2023
