23 July 2010 This means the consideration paid by the purchasing company is more than the value. hence the difference is excess which should be refunded back to the purchasing company.
till then you show that in purchase consideration account.

23 July 2010 our standard permits payment in cash only to the extent of rounding off for fractional shares in case of pooling of interest method.

If such calculation is made at before issue of PC, then 99% of that should have been in shares and the balance in cash towards rounding off of fractional shares. but I think this is not the case here. hence post the excess should be identified and should be refunded in the form of cash.
