Please give answers for my following queries:

Suppose there are 2 companies named H Ltd. and S.Ltd. H Ltd. acquired 40% shares of S. Ltd on 1/4/06 and next 20% shares of the same company as on 30/09/06. Then for the calculation of capital reserve or goodwill profit for the year 2006-07 attributale to entire 60% or profit attributable to only 20% should be bifurcated between capital and revenue profit? I m talking abt pre and post acquuisition bifurcation of profit.

Further suppose there is another one company named T Ltd. S Ltd. acquired 60% shares of this company as on 1/4/06. H Ltd. also purchased 20% shares in T Ltd. as on 31/12/06. So for the purpose of calculation of capital reserve or goodwill on the investment of H Ltd. in T Ltd. should the profit for 2006-07 attributable to 20% prior 31/12/06 entirely should be treated as capital profit? I m talking abt pre and post acquuisition bifurcation of profit.

In IInd case first CFS shall be prepared from the point of view of S Ltd. who hold holding interest in T ltd in which T ltd. and S Ltd will consolidate. while H ltd become irrelevent for such CFS and his share shall be treated as minority interest. IInd CFS which become ur final answer shall be drawn from Ist CFS. bt in this cases Don's forget treatment of share capital.
