ACCOUNTING ENTRIES IN THE BOOKS OF TRANSFEREE COMPANY

ACCOUNTING ENTRIES IN THE BOOKS OF TRANSFEREE COMPANY :

A. In case the Amalgamation is in the nature of Merger: (Pooling of Interest Method)

1. On amalgamation of the business:
Business Purchase Account                                                               Dr.                             (with the amount of consideration)
To Liquidator of Transferor Company

2. When assets, liabilities and reserves are taken over from the transferor company and incorporated in the books:
Sundry Assets (Individually)                     Dr.                                 (with the book value)
To Sundry Liabilities   (Individually)                                               (with the book value)
To Profit and Loss A/c                                                                        (with the book balance)
To Reserves                                                                                          (with the book balance)
To Business Purchase A/c                                                                  (with the consideration)

Amalgamation in the nature of merger, all the assets, written off expenses, debit balance of Profit and Loss Account, outside liabilities and reserves of the transferor company have to be recorded in the books of the transferee company in the form and at the book values as they were appearing in the books of the transferor company on the date of amalgamation. However, if there is a conflict in the accounting policies of the transferee and transferor companies, changes in the book values may be made to ensure uniformity.

While passing the above journal entry, the difference between the amount of consideration payable by the transferee company to the transferor company and the amount of the share capital of the transferor company is adjusted in the general reserve or other reserves.

3. When consideration is satisfied:
Liquidator of Transferor Company                       Dr.               (with the purchase consideration)
To Equity Share Capital                                                               (with the paid-up value of
To Preference Share Capital                                                        shares allotted)
To Bank                                                                                             (with cash paid)

The shares may be allotted at premium or at discount, in which case share premium account and discount on issue of shares account should be stated. In the case of mergers the consideration receivable by those equity shareholders of the transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by issue of equity shares in the transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional shares. However, the transferee company may issue preference shares to the preference shareholders of the transferor company. Moreover, the transferee company may allot securities other than equity shares and give cash and other assets to satisfy the dissenting shareholders of the transferor company.

4. On discharge of liability, say, the debentures of the transferor company by the transferee company directly, say, by allotment of its own debentures, the journal entry will be:

Debentures in Transferor Company                                                     Dr.                             (with the paid-up value of
To Debentures                                                                                                                                     debentures allotted)

5. If the liquidation expenses of the transferor company are borne by the transferee company it may be adjusted in the General Reserve:

General Reserve A/c                                                                                 Dr.                            (with the amount of expenses)
To Bank

6. For the formation expenses of the transferee company:

Preliminary Expenses Account                                                             Dr.                           (with the amount of expenditure)
To Bank

B. In case the Amalgamation is in the nature of Purchase:

1. On acquisition of the business from the transferor company:

Business Purchase A/c                                                                            Dr.                       (with the amount of consideration)
To Liquidator of Transferor Company

2. When the assets and liabilities are taken over from transferor company:

Sundry Assets A/c (Individually excluding goodwill)                    Dr.                         (with their revalued figures, if any,                                                                                                                                                        otherwise at their book figures)

To Sundry Liabilities A/c (Individually)                                         (with the figures at which
they are taken over)

To Business Purchase A/c                                                                 (with the amount of consideration)

Notes:

(a) If the debit total is greater than the credit total, the difference has to be treated as capital profit and as such the same should be credited to Capital Reserve Account.

(b) Similarly, if the credit total is greater than the debit total, the difference should be debited to Goodwill Account.

3. When the consideration is satisfied:

Liquidator of Transferor Company                                                              Dr.      (with the amount of consideration)
To Preference Share Capital A/c
To Equity Share Capital A/c                                                                                     (with the face value of shares allotted)
To Debentures A/c                                                                                                (with the face value of debentures allotted)
To Bank                                                                                                                    (with the amount paid)

The shares or debentures may be allotted at a premium or at a discount.

4. Normally when an amalgamation is in the nature of purchase, the identity of the reserves of the transferor company is not maintained. However, in order to get the advantage of provision of some statute, it is necessary to retain the identity of statutory reserves of the transferor company in the books of the transferee company. In  order to record the statutory reserves of the transferor company in the books of the transferee company, the
following entry will be passed:

 

Amalgamation Adjustment A/c                                            Dr.                            (with the amount of statutory reserve)
To Statutory Reserve A/c

 

It may be noted that latter, when the identity of statutory reserves of transferor company is no longer required to be maintained, the above mentioned entry will be reversed.

5. If the liquidation expenses of the transferor company are borne by the transferee company, the same is to be
debited to Goodwill Account and the following entry is to be passed:

Goodwill Account                                                                Dr.                                 (with the amount of expenditure)
To Bank

6. With the formation expenses of the transferee company, if any:

 

Preliminary Expenses A/c                                                  Dr.                                (with the amount of expenditure)
To Bank

7. If there are both goodwill and capital reserve, Goodwill may be written off against Capital Reserve:

Capital Reserve A/c                                                      Dr.                                   (with the amount written off)

To Goodwill A/c
Note: Either Goodwill Account or Capital Reserve Account whichever is greater will appear in the balance sheet.

8. If any liability is discharged by the transferee company:

Respective Liability A/c                                                       Dr.                                   (with the amount payable)
To Share Capital A/c
To Debentures A/c                                                                                  (as the case may be)
To Bank

9. If fresh issue of shares or debentures is made to raise further capital:

(a) Bank                                                                                   Dr.                                     (with the money received
To Share Application and Allotment A/c                                                                      on application)
