Accounting for Cross Holding Situations of Cross Holdings:
Transferee company holds shares in the Transferor company
Transferor company holds shares in the Transferee company
Transferor/Transferee companies both holds share of each other company
In practice the treatment and / or accounting of cross holdings differ from company to company depending upon the provision as made in the scheme of amalgamation and approved by Court.
25
25
Accounting for Cross Holding …
Cross-holding amounts can be disposed off by:
Cancelling the amount Selling off the shares Handing over the shares to a TRUST which in
turn would sell it and utilize the proceeds for a particular purpose
26
What is Goodwill ?
Goodwill is an intangible asset that ariseswhen the purchase price to acquire aanother company is greater thanthe sum of the market value of that Company’s assets minus liabilities.
27
27
Treatment of Goodwill Goodwill should be amortized over its useful Life,
normally for not more than 5 years unless a longer period can be justified
Factors to be considered for considering estimated life: foreseeable life of business/industry product obsolescence, change in demand, economic factors legal, regulatory or contractual provisions service life of key individuals or group expected actions by competitors or potential competitors
28
28
Treatment of Reserves Para 23 & 42 of the standard provides that reserves
should be treated as prescribed by the scheme sanctioned under the statute (over riding the earlier provisions of treatment to reserves).
Where the treatment of reserves is different under a scheme from the treatment prescribed by the AS following disclosures are required: Description of the treatment given & reasons for
giving a different treatment. Deviation in the accounting treatment Financial effect, if any, due to such deviation
29
29
Treatment of Reserves …
Excess of the value of the assets over the liabilities in a merger is normally treated as part of Reserves.
Tax department has, in some cases, treated these Reserves as “INCOME” !!
