13 November 2014 We have purchase a business on going concern basis from our associate company under slump sale. it includes take over of all the assets and liabilities related to that particular business for lump sum price agreed.

being slump sale, for assigning values to individual assets and liability, we got fair valuation from independent valuer. we assigned value to individual assets and liability as per valuation report.

the consideration which we paid for slump sale is lower than the fair value of assets and liabilities taken over. the difference we treated in out books as capital reserve.

can anybody help me to confirm whether treatment given by us is right or wrong?

13 November 2014 The treatment given by you is correct.
