    1. No journal entry in transferee books (purchasing co) i.e aquiror ..for general reserve of transferor( selling co) , because , purchasing co is not interested in shareholders funds of the transferor(selling co)

      Delete
  2. If the transferor company holds shares of the transferee company and those shares were issued at a premium, while cancelling those shares in the books of transferee company, will the balancing figure will be adjusted from Security Premium Reserves of the Amalgamated Entity or the same will be accounted for as Goodwill?
