Hi, Equity share based payments would only be for employees or for the exchange of any other goods (purchase of inventory) or services (consultancy advice) to/from external parties. The issue in IFRS 2 is with regards the measurement of fair value. IFRS 2 provides the detail of how to measure fair value of the equity based share based payment. Equity financial instruments are where shares are issued to shareholders (new/existing) in return for cash or as part of a bonus issue. Here we know how much the shareholders pay for the shares and that the bonus issue of shares is done at nominal value. Thanks
