Amalgamation of Firms

Question Bank

Q1). What is a "Merger" of a Partner Company? State its purpose.

A1). Amalgamation means a merger or merger. When two or more entities merge or combine into one entity, it is known as a "Merger." Similarly, when two or more union corporations merge, it is a "merger of union corporations".

Including the merger of her two or more single traders into the company

The scope of this chapter is broad enough to include situations where two or more individual traders merge to form a new partnership. This is generally known as a "merger to a partner company".

It also includes the merger of one or more single traders and one or more of his partnerships.

The scope of this chapter also includes situations where one or more sole ownerships he merges with one or more partnership companies to establish a new company.

Purpose of the Amalgamation of Companies:

The main purposes of the merger of the businesses are:

1. To avoid competition:

The main purpose of a merger is to avoid competition between companies. This provides the corporate a foothold over its competitors.

2. To Scale Back Costs:

The merged company can cash in of operating costs by lowering production costs. This is often possible for a "large economy".

3. The way to get financially:

The merged company will benefit financially within the sort of tax benefits, improved creditworthiness and lower borrowing rates.

4. To realize growth:

The merged company can pool resources to market internal growth and stop the emergence of latest competitors.

5. To diversify activities:

Diversifying your business across two or more industries can reduce your company's risk. In some cases, it can act to hedge weaker merger operations with stronger ones.

Q2). What are the Various forms of corporate "merger"?

A2).

Q3). Explain the Accounting Procedure in own words.

A3). You need to study the accounting of "old companies" and "new companies".

Old Company: If there is a merger of companies, in the case of an old company, there are basically four things that happen.

The old company has dissolved: The old company has dissolved. They are involved. All results of the dissolution (see Chapter 3) follow. Assets and liabilities are either taken over by the new company or disposed of.

Financial Statements: As a result, the company's accounting books are closed as they were in the case of dissolution.

Asset and Liability Valuation: For this purpose, it is necessary to revaluate the existing assets and liabilities of the old company. Unrecorded assets and liabilities must also be considered for such valuations. This is done by mutual agreement.

Partner's final capital to check: At the time of the merger, the assets and liabilities of the old company will be taken over by the new company and an amount equal to this value (as mutually agreed) will be credited to the new company's capital account. When an old company partner becomes a new company partner. Therefore, needs to confirm the final capital of the partners of the old company, and the same becomes the starting capital of these partners of the new company.

New Office

Establishment of new company: Except in the case of absorption (Section 4.4), a new company will be established and take over the business of the old company.

Taking over the assets and liabilities of the old company: The basic purpose of the new company is to take over the running business using the assets and liabilities of the old company at an agreed price. The agreed value of an asset minus the agreed value of an inherited liability is called the "purchase consideration" or "price".

New Company Partner Capital: The "purchase consideration" above will not be paid in cash to the old partner as in the case of a normal dissolution. The “Purchase Consideration” will be credited to the capital account of the new company's old partner, as confirmed and explained in Section 5.1.4.

Devising a new share of profits: Partners united in a merger must agree to a new share of profits.

Partner Capital Restructuring: Often, the new company's partner's capital is restructured based on the new profit share. This may require the introduction of additional cash capital and, in some cases, the withdrawal of surplus capital. Excesses / shortages may even be transferred to your partner's checking / loan account.

Q4). What are the ways to close the books of an old company?

A4). In the case of a merger, "Old Enterprise: Dissolve. Therefore, conceptually, all the principles described in Chapter 3," Dissolution of Partnership Farms "apply to such farms. The old company passes the following entries:

The entries are:

Step 1: Open a Realization Account and a Partner's Capital Account.

Step 2: Same as step 1 of the reassessment method (see Section 6.1.1). Transfer the partner's capital to the partner's capital A / C credit side and transfer the past profits and reserves. The entries are:

Reserve P/L A/c Dr.

To Partners Capital A/c

(Various past profit transferred)

Step 3: Transfer all assets to the realization account. The entries are:

Realisation A/c Dr.

To Concerned asset A/c

(Various assets transferred)

XXX

What students should be aware of here is that the new company will take over due to the merger, so cash and bank balances (accounts) will be transferred.

However, you should not transfer your cash / bank account to a cash account if all your assets and liabilities are not taken over by the company.

Step 4: Transfer all debt to the realized account. The entries are:

Concerned liabilities A/c Dr.

To Realisation A/c

(Various liabilities transferred)

XXX

Step 5: Find out the consideration for the new company's takeover of assets and liabilities. A separate statement is usually created for the "Purchase Consideration". Then the following entry is passed:

Business purchase A/c Dr.

To Realisation A/c

(Value of purchase consideration on amalgamation now recorded)

Step 6: Assets that were not taken over by the new company and were sold to the outside world / taken over by a partner:

Q5). Write short note on Accounting for Mergers.

A5) .ICAI has made this AS mandatory since January 4, 1995. The AS handles the accounting for mergers and the processing of the resulting goodwill or reserves. This is primarily intended for businesses, and only some of its requirements apply to partners' accounts, etc.

It states that there are two main ways to account for a merger.

The use of the "equity pooling method" is not discussed here as it is limited to mergers of companies.

The purchase method of accounting for mergers applies the same principles to the purchase of this regular asset. The problem in is solved using this method.

In this way, the assets and liabilities of the transferring company are either taken over by the new company at their existing value or the consideration is allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on their fair value at that time, according to the contract. The date of the merger. The reserve will not be taken over by the new company, but will be distributed among the partners of the merged company.

AS 14 sets out the accounting procedures that should be followed in the books of the purchasing / transferring company, but does not specify the specific method that should be followed when closing the books of the merged company.

In the above accounting, students are aware of the following:

(i) If the consideration paid exceeds the net assets (assets-liabilities) acquired, the resulting amount is "GOOD WILL".

(ii) Alternatively, if the consideration paid is less than the net assets acquired, it is a "capital reserve".

Such goodwill resulting from the merger should be systematically amortized by the new company over its useful life. Generally, the amortization period should not exceed 5 years.

Para 45 of AS 14 sets disclosure requirements in the first financial statements of the new company after the merger.

Q6). Define Amalgamation.

A6). You have studied the units related to the final accounting of a partnership company in the XIIth standard. These final accounts are similar to the final accounts of individual traders, but with certain changes in the profit / loss distribution of partners in the profit-sharing ratio. However, there are various transactions that affect the accounting of a general partnership, such as partnership, retirement, death of the partnership, partnership, dissolution, and conversion of the partnership.

In this unit we will understand the need to learning Accounting for Mergers of Partnership Companies.

Meaning of Amalgamation of Partnership Companies:

A merger means merging or merging two or more business units that operate the same type of business to form a new business unit.

A merger of union corporations means that two or more union corporations merge to form a new union corporation. The merger of two or more existing partnership companies doing the same type of business, terminating another entity and forming a new company is called a partnership company merger.

Mergers can be formed in one of the following ways:

Q7). Write short note on Books of the New Firm.

A7). The entries in the books of the new firm can be divided into following stages:

1. Recording of the assets and liabilities taken over:

Debit: all assets’ accounts (which are taken over)

Credit: all liabilities accounts (which are taken over)

Credit: Partner’s capital accounts (as per the final balances in the capital accounts in the old firm)

With this entry the final capitals of the partners in the old firm become their initial capitals in the new firm.

2. Restructuring of partners capitals:

The partners may decide a particular capital structure in the new firm, which has to be contributed by the partners in their new profit-sharing ratio. Accordingly, the partners may bring further capital or withdraw excess capital. Alternatively, the excess or deficit may be transferred to current or loan accounts.

3. Removing effects of inter firm transactions of old firms:

(1) If debtors of one of the old firms, are creditors of the other firm the same party will be reflected as both debtor and creditor in the amalgamated firm,

Q8). What entries are being passed at time of cancellation of Debtors and Creditors Account.

A8). (1) If one of the debtors of the old company is the creditor of the other company, the same party will be reflected in both the debtor and the creditor of the merged company, and the common amount will be cancelled as follows.

Sunday Creditors A/c Dr.

To Sundry Debtors A/c

XXX

(2) If the old company before the merger was a debtor / creditor of each other, the common amount will be cancelled in the company after the merger as follows.

Sundry Creditors A/c Dr.

To Sundry Debtors A/c

XXX

(3) Similarly, if the old companies were accepting or withdrawing bills from each other, the same procedure would be performed.

Bills Payable A/c Dr.

To Bills Receivable A/c

XXX

A similar method is used for cancellation of business-to-business loans.

(4) If one company purchased goods from the other company prior to the merger and all or part of the goods are still in stock or on the date of the merger, by the company that sold those goods. The amount of profit obtained is reduced from the combined inventory value as follows.

Goodwill A/c Dr.

To Stock A/c

Q9). Distinguish between Amalgamation v/s Absorption.

A9). Where two or more existing business entities merge themselves to form a new business entity it is “amalgamation”. Therefore, the old entities are taken over by the newly formed business entity, e.g., where two firms viz. M/s AB & Co. And M/s. CD & Co. Merge to form a new firm M/s. ABCD & Co.

In absorption, one or more existing business entities are taken over by another existing business entity. No new business entity is formed for the purpose. E.g., where a firm AB & Co. ‘absorbs’ another firm CD & Co., it is known as absorption of CD & Co. By AB & Co.

Hence, whereas in amalgamation, all the old business entities are closed and a new business entity is formed, in absorption, one old entity will continue after taking over the other entity or entities.

Comparison Table Between Amalgamation and Absorption

Parameter of Comparison	Amalgamation	Absorption
Meaning	Two or more different companies join to become one, the process is called Amalgamation.	When one company takes over the business of another company, the process is called Absorption.
New entity	The new entity is formed.	No new entity is formed.
Minimum number of companies involved	In the process of amalgamation, there are at least three companies involved (two liquidating and one newly formed).	While in Absorption there are at least two companies involved.
Liquidating companies	At least two companies liquidate.	Only one company is liquidated (whose business is overtaken by the other).
Domination	No company dominates any other company.	The bigger company dominates the weaker company.

Q10). What are the different forms of ‘Amalgamation’ of firms?

A10). Amalgamation of firms may take any of the following forms:

Amalgamation of Two or more Sole-traders: Here, two or more sole-traders amalgamate themselves into a new partnership firm. E.g., Mr. A and Mr. B, two Chartered Accountants, practicing separately, merge their practice to form a new firm of Chartered Accountants viz. M/s AB.

Amalgamation of Sole-trader and Firm: Here, one or more existing sole-traders merge with one or more existing partnership firms, so that the existing entities lose their identity and a new partnership firm is formed to take over their businesses. E.g., Mr. X, a proprietor and M/s. YZ, a partnership firm, who are doing businesses separately, amalgamate to form a new firm, M/s. XYZ.

Amalgamation of Two or more Partnership Firms: Here, two or more existing partnership firms merge and form a new firm to take over the businesses of the existing firms. E.g., M/s. PQ and M/s. RS, two partnership firms doing competing businesses, amalgamate to form a new partnership firm viz. M/s PQRS. In all the above cases, A, B, X, YZ, PQ and RS lose their individual identity, close their businesses and new firms, M/s. AB, M/s. XYZ and M/s. PQRS respectively, come into existence to take over businesses.

Absorption: In this case, all the merging units do not lose their identity. One of them will continue to exist after taking over the other existing units. E.g., M/s. JK and M/s. MN are in competing business. M/s. JK absorbs or takes over M/s. MN so that M/s. MN is dissolved and M/s. JK continues to exist. It now has the assets and liabilities taken over from M/s. MN, in addition to its existing assets and liabilities.

Notes: 1. Loss on investment is to be net out of investment fluctuation fund. The remaining fund is treated as accumulated profit.

2. Since there is no sufficient bank balance in the firm C and D. Liabilities not taken over have been transferred to capital accounts. Alternatively, it can be presumed that they have brought in the required money to pay off the liabilities. Of course, the net effect would be the same.

3. Trade liabilities include liabilities on account of goods. Bank overdraft is a liability but not trade liability. Similarly, salary outstanding, loans, etc., are all liabilities but not trade liabilities.

Internal Reconstruction

Q20). What is Reconstruction? State the purpose of it.

A1). Rebuilding is the process of restructuring a company in terms of law, operations, ownership and other structures by revaluing assets and revaluing liabilities. It refers to the transfer of the business of a company or multiple companies to a new company. Therefore, this means that the old company will be liquidated, and therefore shareholders agree to acquire shares of equal value in the new company. The financial statements do not reflect the true and fair position of the business, as if the company has suffered losses over the years, it will need to be rebuilt and the net worth will be higher than the actual net worth. Hmm.

In other words, "reconstruction" is the dissolution of an existing company and the transfer of its assets and liabilities to a new company established for the purpose of business succession or succession of the existing company. Shareholders of the existing company will become shareholders of the new company. The business content and shareholders of the new company are almost the same as those of the old company.

Purpose of Reconstruction

The main purposes of the reconstruction are:

Q21). What are the types of Reconstruction?

A2). Types of Reconstruction

The company can be rebuilt in one of two ways. These are:

External Restructuring: If a company suffers losses over the past few years and faces a financial crisis, it can sell its business to another newly established company. In fact, the new company was established to take over the assets and liabilities of the old company. This process is called external reconstruction. In other words, external reconstruction means selling the business of an existing company to another company established for that purpose. In the external reconstruction, one company will be liquidated and the other will be newly established. The liquidated company is called the "Vendor Company" and the new company is called the "Purchasing Company". The shareholders of the selling company are the shareholders of the purchasing company.

Internal Restructuring: Internal restructuring refers to the internal restructuring of a company's financial structure. It is also called a restructuring that allows an existing company to survive. In general, equity capital is reduced to amortize the company's past cumulative losses.

Q22). Write the significance of Internal Reconstruction.

A3). Internal reconstruction is done by the company in the following cases:

Conditions and regulations regarding Internal Reconstruction

1. Approval by Articles of Incorporation: The company must be approved by the Articles of Incorporation to appeal for capital reduction. The Articles of Incorporation contain all the details of the company's internal affairs and refer to provisions that include how to reduce capital.

2. Passing a special resolution: The company must pass a special resolution before appealing for a capital reduction. Special resolutions will only be passed if a majority of stakeholders agree to internal reconstruction. This special resolution must be signed by the arbitral tribunal and deposited with a registrar appointed under the Companies Act 2013.

3. Court Permission: The company must obtain the court or the court's legitimate permission before starting the capital reduction process. The court will only grant permission if the company is fair and is satisfied with the positive consent of all stakeholders.

4. Borrowing Payment: According to Article 66 of the Companies Act 2013, a company must repay all the amount deposited and its interest before reducing its capital.

5. Creditor Consent: The company that reduces the capital requires the written consent of the creditor. The court requires the company to secure the interests of the dissenting creditors. The company obtains the court's permission after the court determines that the reduction of capital does not harm the interests of the creditors.

6. Announcement: The company must announce according to the instructions of the tribe for a capital reduction. The company must also explain the justification.

Q23). Distinguish between Internal and External Reconstruction.

A4). The main difference between internal reconstruction and external reconstruction

Due to the difference between internal and external reconstructions, the subsequent points are relevant:

Internal restructuring is often defined as a restructuring of a corporation without liquidating an existing company and establishing a replacement one. On the opposite hand, external restructuring may be a sort of corporate restructuring that liquidates an existing company and creates a replacement company so as to continue the business of the prevailing company.
A new company won't substitute the interior reorganization. Conversely, a replacement company are going to be established for external reconstruction and therefore the business of the prevailing company is going to be appropriated.
Internal restructuring reduces the company's capital, and external liabilities like bond holders and creditors waive their debt at a reduction. On the opposite hand, external reconstruction doesn't reduce the company's capital.
Internal reconstruction requires court approval and court confirmation, as a discount in capital stock can affect shareholder rights. On the contrary, external reconstruction doesn't require such approval.
If the corporate goes through an indoor rebuilding process, the record created after the method will include the term "And Reduced". In contrast, within the case of external reconstruction, no particular term is employed on the record.
In internal reconstruction, no new company are going to be established, so there'll be no transfer of assets or liabilities.

Basis For Comparison	Internal Reconstruction	External Reconstruction
Meaning	Internal reconstruction refers to the method of corporate restructuring wherein existing company is not liquidated to form a new one.	External reconstruction is one in which the company undergoing reconstruction is liquidated to take over the business of existing company.
New company	No new company is formed.	New company is formed.
Use of specific terms in Balance Sheet	Balance Sheet of the company contains "And Reduced".	No specific terms are used in the Balance sheet.
Capital reduction	Capital is reduced and the external liability holders waive their claims.	No reduction in the capital
Approval of court	Approval of court is must.	No approval of court is required.
Transfer of Assets and Liabilities	No such transfer takes place.	Assets and liabilities of existing company are transferred to the new company.

Q24). What are the various methods of Internal Reconstruction?

A5). There are various methods of internal reconstruction, shown :

1. Alteration of Share Capital

If approved by the Articles of Incorporation, the limited liability company may change (change) the capital clause of the Articles of Incorporation. There are various ways to change stock capital:

 Increase in stock capital due to issuance of new shares

2. Reverse Stock Split

Consolidation refers to the conversion of shares with a smaller par value to shares with a larger par value.

Example: His 5000 shares of Rs. 10 pieces can be integrated into a stock of 500 rupees. 100 each.

3. Stock Split

Subdivision is the conversion of high par value stocks to low par value stocks.

Example: 5000 shares of Rs. Each 100 can be split into 50000 shares of Rs. 10 each.

4. Equity of Shares

The company can convert its shares into shares. Stocks can be fractions that are not possible in the case of stocks. Central government approval is required to convert shares into shares.

5. Transfer of Shares

Reconstruction plans may require shareholders to relinquish some of their ownership. Such a waiver may be issued prior to immediate cancellation or to satisfy some of the company's creditors.

6. Cancellation of Unissued Shares

If the company cancels unissued shares, it does not need to pass an accounting entry. The authorized share capital of the company will be the amount of unissued shares currently cancelled.

Q25). Write short note on Stock Split and Consolidation.

A6). If approved by the Articles of Incorporation, the company may, by passing a normal resolution, decide at the General Assembly to split or consolidate the shares into an amount less or higher than the amount stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation. The ratio of paid-in to unpaid shares will continue to be the same as for the original shares.

Notifications identifying changes must be submitted to the Registrar within 30 days of the changes.

For example, a company with capital of 10,000,000 split into 10,000 shares and paid 75 for every 100 shares decides to split 100 shares of 100 shares into 10 shares to recognize capital. Each. The resulting entry passed in such a case is —

		Dr.	Cr.

Equity Share Capital ( 100) A/c	Dr.	7,50,000	7,50,000
To Equity Share Capital ( 10) A/c
(Being the sub-division of 10,000 shares of 100 each with 75 paid up thereon into 1,00,000 shares of 10 each with 7.50 paid up thereon as per the resolution of shareholders passed in the General Meeting held on...)

Similar entries are passed when consolidating a smaller amount of stock into a larger amount of stock.

Q26). How are Fully Paid-In Shares converted to Shares?

A7). According to Article 61 of the Companies Act 2013, a company may convert fully paid-in shares into shares and convert the shares back into shares. If approved by the Articles of Incorporation, the company may, by passing a normal resolution, convert the fully paid shares into shares and reconvert the shares into shares at a general meeting of shareholders. Stock is the integration of equity capital into one of his units that can be split into aliquot parts. A stock is a fully paid bundle of stock that, for convenience, can be split into any amount and transferred to any fraction and subdivision, regardless of the original par value of the stock. He cannot have one share of equity capital, but he can transfer any amount of shares. However, in reality, the company limits the transfer of shares to multiples, such as 100 times his. Companies can convert fully paid shares into shares. When the company converts its shares into shares, the bookkeeping items only record the transfer from the stock capital account to the stock account. Another share registration will be initiated where the details of the member's holdings are entered and the annual returns change accordingly.

Example

C Ltd. Split the authorized capital of 5,000,000 into 100 shares each on March 12, 20X1, of which 4,000 were issued and paid in full. In June 220X2, the Company converted the issued shares into shares. Decided to do. However, in June 20X3, we reconverted the shares to his 10 shares and paid in full.

Pass an entry to show how equity capital appears in the balance sheet notes, such as 31-12-20X1, 31-12-20X2, 31-12-20X3.

	(Being re-conversion of 4,00,000 Equity Stock into 40,000 shares of 10 fully paid Equity Shares as per Resolution in General Meeting dated...)

Q27). What does changes in Shareholder Rights mean?

A8). Under Article 48 of the Companies Act 2013, if a company issues different types of shares and grants such shares different rights or privileges, the rights relating to dividends, voting rights, etc. may be changed in any way. I will. This is done by the written consent of his three or more owners of her quarter of the issued shares of that type, or by a special resolution adopted at another meeting of the owners of the issued shares of that type. I will. (a) If the company's memorandum or articles of incorporation include provisions for such variations. Or (b) if there is no such provision in the Memorandum of Understanding or the Articles of Incorporation, or if such changes are not prohibited by the terms and conditions of issuance of shares of that class, provided that changes made by a shareholder of one class are the rights of another shareholder. When Impacting Regarding the type of shareholders, the consent of three-quarters of the other types of shareholders shall also be obtained and the provisions of this section shall apply to such changes.

For example, a company may (a) Change the dividend rate of preferred stock or (b) Convert cumulative preferred stock to non-cumulative preferred stock without changing the amount of equity capital by going through the following journal: can.

Q28). Explain the process of Reduction of Stock Capital.

A9). Article 66 of the Companies Act 2013 provides procedures for reducing stock capital. Subject to court confirmation of the company's application, the company may, by special resolution, reduce its share capital in the following ways:

In general, the reduction of equity capital occurs when a company suffers continuous losses over a long period of time and is not truly reflected in its assets. In such cases, the capital reduction scheme must amortize the portion of the capital that has already been lost.

This reduction is a shareholder sacrifice, and the amount of the reduction or sacrifice is credited to a new account called a capital reduction account (or restructuring account). The accounting process is as follows.

(a) Shareholders' liability to extinguish or diminish their liability for the accrued amount of shares held by the shareholders

The shareholders are not required to pay the accrued amount of their shares in the future. For example, a company decides to reduce 10 per share from 10 to 7.5 by cancelling the unpaid amount of 2.5 per share. The entry in this case looks like this:

Share Capital (Partly Paid-Up) Account Dr. ( 7.5 X No. of Shares)

To Share Capital (Fully Paid-up) Account ( 7.5 X No. of Shares)

(b) If the paid-in excess capital is refunded: If the company is unable to secure profitability, it may decide to refund the paid-in capital as excess to shareholders. For example, if a company with 10 fully paid shares each decides to refund 2 shares per share to make 8 fully paid shares, the entry would be:

Share Capital Account ( 10) Dr. ( 10 X No. Of Shares)

To Share Capital Account ( 8) ( 8 X No. of Shares)

To Sundry Shareholders Account ( 2 X No. of Shares) Sundry Shareholders Account Dr. ( 2 X No. Of Shares)

To Bank Account ( 2 X No. of Shares)

Share Capital Account Dr. ( 90 X No. of Shares)

To Capital Reduction Account

(90 X No. Of Shares)

It is observed that the new product launched by the company has not succeeded even after three years of marketing. The management is of the opinion that the assets & liabilities are not valued correctly & also finds it difficult to raise finance.

To overcome the situation a scheme of reconstruction is prepared by the directors & approved by all authorities.

The salient features of the scheme are

1) Plant & Equipment having book value of Rs.10,000/- is obsolete. This is sold as scrap for Rs.36,000/-.

2) The auditors have pointed out that depreciation on plant is not provided to the extent Rs.30,000/-

3) Stock includes items valued Rs.50,000/- which is sold at a loss of 50%.

4) The present realizable value of investments is Rs.55,000/-.

5) Dividend on Preference Shares is in arrears for 3 years. This amount is not payable.

6) All losses & Fictitious assets are to be written off.

7) The expenses paid for forming & implementing scheme is Rs.10,000/-.

8) The paid up value of Equity Share is to be reduced to Rs.2/- per share & preference share to Rs.5/- per share. However, the face value remains unchanged.

9) The Creditors due are settled as.

• 30% immediate payment in Cash.

• 40% amount is cancelled.

• 30% paid by issue of 15% debentures.

10) Other Current liabilities includes Rs.45,000/- payable to directors towards remuneration. This liability is to be cancelled.
