AMALGAMATION (AS 14)

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, Live the life you’ve imagined”.

Amalgamation refers to the process of merger of two or more companies into a single entity
or where one company takes over the other by outright purchase.
Therefore, the term ‘amalgamation’ contemplates two kinds of activities:
(i) 2 or more companies join to form a new company (Popularly known as Amalgamation)
(ii) absorption and blending of one by the other (Popularly known as Absorption).
This arrangement is sought by companies to receive various advantages such as economies
of large-scale production, avoiding competition, increasing efficiency, expansion, increase in
market share, etc.

TOPIC 6: THEORY QUESTIONS

Question 1
Briefly explain the methods of accounting for amalgamation as per Accounting Standard-14.

Solution
As per AS 14 on ‘Accounting for Amalgamations’, there are two main methods of accounting
for amalgamations:

(i) The Pooling of Interest Method: Under this method, the assets, liabilities and reserves of
the transferor company are recorded by the transferee company at their existing carrying
amounts (after making the necessary adjustments). If at the time of amalgamation, the
transferor and the transferee companies have conflicting accounting policies, a uniform
set of accounting policies is adopted following the amalgamation. The effects on the
financial statements of any changes in accounting policies are reported in accordance with
AS 5 on ‘Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting
Policies’.

(ii) The Purchase Method: Under the purchase method, the transferee company accounts for
the amalgamation either by incorporating the assets and liabilities at their existing
carrying amounts or by allocating the consideration to individual identifiable assets and
liabilities of the transferor company on the basis of their fair values at the date of
amalgamation. The identifiable assets and liabilities may include assets and liabilities not
recorded in the financial statements of the transferor company
Where assets and liabilities are restated on the basis of their fair values, the determination
of fair values may be influenced by the intentions of the transferee company.

Question 2 (Inter Jan 2021) (5 Marks)

List the conditions to be fulfilled as per Accounting Standard 14 for an amalgamation to be in
the nature of merger, in the case of companies.

Solution
An amalgamation should be considered to be an amalgamation in the nature of merger if the
following conditions are satisfied:
(i) All the assets and liabilities of the transferor company become, after amalgamation, the
assets and liabilities of the transferee company.
(ii) Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the
transferor company (other than the equity shares already held therein, immediately
before the amalgamation, by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their
nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee company by virtue of the
amalgamation.
(iii) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the
transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee company
is discharged by the transferee company wholly by the issue of equity shares in the
transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional shares.
(iv) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the
amalgamation, by the transferee company.
(v) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of
the transferor company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the
transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting policies.

Question 3
Briefly describe the disclosure requirements for amalgamation including additional
disclosure, if any, for different methods of amalgamation as per AS 14. Or
What disclosures should be made in first financial statements following the amalgamation?

Solution
The disclosure requirements for amalgamations have been prescribed in paragraphs 43 to
46 of AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamation.
For all amalgamations, the following disclosures should be made in the first financial
statements following the amalgamation
a. names and general nature of business of the amalgamating companies;
b. the effective date of amalgamation for accounting purpose;
c. the method of accounting used to reflect the amalgamation; and
d. particulars of the scheme sanctioned under a statute.
For amalgamations accounted under the pooling of interests method, the following additional
disclosures should be made in the first financial statements following the amalgamation:
a. description and number of shares issued, together with the percentage of each company’s
equity shares exchanged to effect the amalgamation; and
b. the amount of any difference between the consideration and the value of net identifiable
assets acquired, and the treatment thereof.
For amalgamations, accounted under the purchase method, the following additional
disclosures should be made in the first financial statements following the amalgamation;
a. consideration for the amalgamation and a description of the consideration paid or
contingently payable; and
b. the amount of any difference between the consideration and the value of net identifiable
assets acquired, and the treatment thereof including the period of amortization of any
goodwill arising on amalgamation.

Question 4
A Ltd. is amalgamating with B Ltd. They are undecided on the method of accounting to be
followed. You are required to advice the management of B Ltd. on the method of accounting
that can be adopted under AS-14.

Solution
An amalgamation may be either – an amalgamation in the nature of merger, or an
amalgamation in the nature of purchase. The selection of method of accounting for
amalgamation (pooling of interests or purchase method) is to be judged after considering the
intentions of the both the companies.
If genuine pooling of all assets, liabilities, shareholders’ interest is intended; separate
businesses of both the companies are continued and their amalgamation scheme satisfies all
the conditions necessary for merger as specified in AS 14 Accounting for Amalgamations,
pooling of interests method is adopted.
However, if B Ltd. or A Ltd. wants to acquire the other company, then purchase method needs
to be adopted. In that case, the shareholders of the acquired company don’t continue to have
proportional share in equity of the combined company and the business of the acquired
company is not intended to be continued. The object of purchase method is to account for the
amalgamation by applying same principles as are applied in the normal purchase of assets.
Thus choice of accounting method depends on the fact whether B Ltd. wants to continue its
business or not.

X Co. Ltd. having share capital of ₹ 50 lakhs divided into equity shares of ₹ 10 each was taken
over by Y Co. Ltd. Y Co. Ltd. issued 11 equity shares of ₹ 10 each for every 10 shares of X Co.
Ltd. Explain how the difference will be adjusted in the books of Y Co. Ltd. for the shares issued
under the ‘Pooling of interests method’ of amalgamation as per AS 14.

Solution
Purchase consideration = 5,00,000 × 11/10 = 55,000 shares of ₹ 10 each 55,00,000
Less: Share capital of X Co. Ltd. (50,00,000)
Difference Adjusted through General Reserve 5,00,000

Question 6
How are the balances in profit and loss account treated in the books of transferee company?

Solution
(i) When amalgamation is in the nature of merger
Balance in Profit and Loss Account of the transferor company is
a. Aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing in financial statements of the
transferee company; Or
b. Transferred to the general reserve, if any.

(ii) When amalgamation is in the nature of purchase

Balance in profit and loss account of the transferor company, whether debit or credit, loses
