14 December 2012 Dear sir /madam
One of my client is undergoing amalgamation in the nature of merger . they have intercompany holding .I said them to wite off the value of investment through general raserve in the books of transferee company. when it comes to allotment of purchase consideration I passed the entry as
ESH of ...co.
To ES of transferee co.
but the balance sheet didn't match .The problm is when I credited the amount of Equity share by purchase cosideration the liability side stands incresed but where shall I show the corresponding debit entry. Goodwill doesn't arise in the nature of merger.

14 December 2012 you need to decide the exchange ration first. Accordingly the AMALGANATING company will have capital reserve/goodwill as balancing figure.
