Amalgamation of Companies [AS 14]


The term Amalgamation refers to blending of two or more existing undertaking into
one undertaking. It contemplates not only blending two or more existing undertaking
into one undertaking, but also blending of one by another, which is called as
Absorption.

The ICAI has issued Accounting Standard 14 to deal with accounting for
amalgamation.

Amalgamation involves two types of company

i. Transferee Company:
It means a company into which transferor Company is amalgamated.

ii. Transferor Company:


It means the company which is amalgamated into another company.

Amalgamation may take place in any one of the following two ways

i. A new company is formed to take over the business of two or more existing
companies. It is called Pure Amalgamation.
ii. One of the existing companies take over (absorbs) the business of another
existing company. It does not involve formation of a new company. This form
of amalgamation is known as Absorption.

TYPES OF AMALGAMATION
i. Amalgamation in the nature of merger:
Amalgamation is in the nature of merger provided following conditions are satisfied-

a) All the assets & liabilities of the transferor company become, after
amalgamation the assets & liabilities of the transferee company.
b) Shareholders holding 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the
transferor company (other than equity shares already held therein, immediately
before amalgamation by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their
nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee company by virtue of
the amalgamation.
c) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders
of the transferor company who agree to become equity shareholder of the
transferee company is discharged by transferee company only by the issue of
equity shares in the transferee company except that cash may be paid in
respect of any fractional shares.

d) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on by the


transferee company after amalgamation.
e) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of assets & liabilities
of the transferor company. When they are incorporated in the financial
statement of the transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting
policies.

ii. Amalgamation in the nature of purchase


It is a type of amalgamation, which does not satisfy any one or more of the five
conditions which are applicable to amalgamation in the nature of merger

Purchase Consideration
For the purpose of Accounting for Amalgamation, AS-14 defines the term
consideration as “The aggregate of shares and other securities issued and the payment
made in the form of cash or other assets by the transferee company to the
shareholders of the transferor company”.

Thus, the consideration does not include payments made to or for creditors or any
other person. Consideration implies the value agreed upon for the net assets taken
over. The amount depends on the terms of the contract between Transferor Company
and Transferee Company.

Methods of computation of purchase consideration:


Following are different methods of computing purchase consideration.

1. Lump sum method.


2. Net Assets method.
3. Total payment method.
4. Intrinsic worth method.

Lump sum method-


In Lump sum method the problem may state directly the amount of purchase
consideration (PC) and there will be no need of any calculation. For e.g.- Rajesh Ltd.
takes over the business of Rajan Ltd. for a sum of Rs. 275000.Here P.C is Rs. 275000.

Net Assets Method-


Under the net assets method, P.C is arrived at by adding agreed value of assets taken
over by the purchasing company and deducting there from agreed value of liabilities
taken over by the purchasing company.

Only those Assets & Liabilities which are taken over are considered for
calculation of P.C.

It should be noted that fictitious assets such as preliminary expenses, under writing
commission, discount on issue of shares or debentures, expenses on issue of shares or
debentures and debit balance of Profit & Loss Account are not taken over.

Illustration:
Given below are balance sheets of A Ltd. & B Ltd. as on 31 st December, at which date,
the companies were amalgamated & the new company ‘C’ Ltd. was form.

Balance sheet

Liability ‘A’ Ltd. ‘B’ Ltd. Assets ‘A’ Ltd. ‘B’ Ltd.
Equity Share of 70000 60000 Fixed Assets 85000 70000
Rs.10 each

Expenditure

1,05,000 1,10,000 1,05,000 1,10,000

It was agreed that Fixed Assets of ‘A’ Ltd. would be valued at Rs. 100000 and that of
‘B’ Ltd. at Rs. 95000. ‘C’ Ltd. would issue requisite no. of equity share of Rs.10 each at
10% premium. To discharge the claim of the equity shareholders of A Ltd. and B Ltd.,
how many shares of C Ltd. should be issued to take over the business of two merging
companies?

Solutions: Calculate of purchase consideration:

Net Assets A Ltd. B Ltd.


Fixed assets 1,00,000 95,000
Current assets 20,000 30,000
Total assets 1,20,000 1,25,000
Less: liabilities taken over 15,000 10,000
P.C 1,05,000 1,15,000

Total purchase consideration= 105000+115000=220000

No. of Equity shares to be issued=220000/11=20000

Hence C Ltd. will be formed where the paid up capital of Rs. 200000 and securities
premium of Rs. 20000.

Total Payment Method


Under this method consideration is ascertained by adding up the cash paid, agreed
value of assets given and agreed value of securities allotted by the transferee company
to the transferor company in discharge of consideration.

For e.g.: Ketan Ltd. takes over business of Abdul Ltd. and agrees to pay Rs. 70,000 in
cash and allot to Abdul Ltd. 50,000 equity shares of Rs.100 each fully paid at an
agreed value of Rs.150 per share .

Calculation of P.C.:

Particulars Rs
Cash 70,000
50,000 equity share of Rs. 100 each at agreed value of Rs. 150 per
share 75,00,000
P.C. 75,70,000

Intrinsic Worth Method


In this method, the P.C. is to be ascertained on the basis of proportion in which the
shares of the transferee company are exchange for the shares of the transferor
company. The proportion or ratio of exchange is usually determined on the basis of
intrinsic value of share of the both companies.

Manoj Ltd. is absorbed by Purvish Ltd. Given below are balance sheets of two
companies taken after revaluation of their assets on uniform basis
