Purchase Consideration:

Method of Calculating Purchase Consideration:

The amount of purchase consideration can be computed under any of the following four methods:-

1. Lump Sum Method 2. Net Payment Method 3. Net Worth or Net Assets Method 4. Intrinsic Value Method (Shares
Exchange Method).

1. Lump sum Method

Under this method purchase consideration will be paid in lump sum as per the valuation of purchasing companies valuation.

E.g. 1.

A Ltd. takes over the business of B Ltd. for Rs.15, 00,000 here the sum of the Rs.15, 00,000 is the Purchase Consideration.

2. A purchasing company agreed to take over a business of selling company for Rs. 5, 00,000. In such a case, the purchase
consideration is Rs. 5,00,000. No calculations are needed.

2. Net Payment Method:

‘Purchase Consideration’ under this method is taken as the aggregate of all payments made in the form of shares, debentures,
other securities and cash to the shareholders of the transferor company.

The agreement between selling company and purchasing company may specify the amount payable to the share-holders of the
selling company in the form of cash or shares or debentures in purchasing company.

AS – 14 states that consideration for amalgamation means the aggregate of shares and other securities issued and the payment
made in the form of cash or other assets by transferee company to the share-holders of transferor company.

The following points are to be noted while ascertaining the purchase price under net payment method:

(i) The assets and liabilities taken over by the transferee company and the values at which they are taken over are not relevant
to compute the purchase consideration.

(ii) All payments agreed upon should be added, whether it is for equity shareholders or preference share-holders.

(iii) If any liability is taken over by purchasing company to be discharged later on, such amount should not be deducted or
added while computing purchase consideration.

(iv) When liabilities are not take over by the transferee company, they are neither added nor deducted while computing
consideration.

(v) Any payment made by Transferee Company to some other party on behalf of Transferor Company are to be ignored.

3. Net Assets Method:

Net Assets Method is used when all the modes of discharging the purchase consideration (e.g. Pref. Shares, Equity shares or cash
payable to shareholders of transferor company) are not given and hence where Net Payment Method cannot be adopted. Under this
Method, purchase consideration is ascertained by aggregating the agreed values of only those assets which have been taken over by
the transferee company and deducting it from the agreed value of liabilities taken over.

(Agreed value of Assets taken over) – (Agreed value of liabilities taken over) = Net Assets
The following relevant points are to be noted while ascertaining the purchase price under this method:

(i) If the transferee company agrees to take over all the assets of the transferor company, it would mean inclusive of cash and
Bank balances.

(ii) The term all assets, however, does not include fictitious assets, like Debit balance of Profit and Loss Account, Preliminary
Expenses Account, Discount and other expenses on issue of shares and Debentures, Heavy Advertising Expenses Account etc.

(iii) Any specific asset, not taken over by transferee companyTransferee Company, should be ignored while computing the
purchase price,

(iv) If there is any goodwill, pre-paid expenses etc. the same are to be included in the assets taken over unless otherwise stated,

(v) The term liabilities will always signify all liabilities to third parties. Trade liabilities are those incurred for the purchase of
goods such as Trade Creditors or Bills Payable,

(vi) Other liabilities like Bank Overdrafts, Tax payable, Outstandingoutstanding expenses etc. are not a part of trade liabilities.

(vii) Liabilities do not include accumulated or undistributed profits like, General Reserve, Securities Premium, Workmen
Accident Fund, Insurance Fund, Capital Reserve, Dividend EquilisationEqualization Fund etc.

4. Intrinsic Value Method (Shares Exchange Method).: Method # 4. Intrinsic Value Method (Shares Exchange Method):

Under this method, Intrinsic Value of shares is calculated using Net asset method and then the Share Proportion is computed net
value of assets is calculated according to net assets method and it is divided by the value of one share of transferee company which
gives the total number of shares to be received by the share-holders of transfer or company from the transferee company. When the
number of shares to be received by the transferor company is known then it is divided by the existing shares of the transferor company
and thus the ratio of shares can be found out.

Intrinsic Value = Assets available for equity shareholders / Number of equity shares

Suppose, in exchange of 50 shares of transfer or company, 100 shares of transferee company is available, then every one share in the
transferor company, two shares in the transferee company is available. Therefore, the ratio is 1: 2. This method is also known as Share
Proportion Method.

Intrinsic Value = Assets available for equity shareholders/Number of equity shares

Fractional Shares:

Sometimes owing to certain ratio in which shares are to be given, it is not possible to find the whole number of shares. Any
fraction of shares so arrived at, in the absence of any agreement, is always settled in cash at market value.

The choice of method depends on availability of information. If information is available on all modes of discharging the
purchase consideration (e.g. preference shares, equity shares or cash payable to shareholders of Transferor Company) along-
with their amounts, then Net Payment Method should be used. In other cases ‘Net Assets’ Method should be used.

Cash payment ( Rs 25 * 50,000) Rs 12,50,000

Shares ( 50,000*4*Rs10) Rs 20,00,000

Purchase Consideration Rs 32,50,000

Note: According to AS-14, the amount paid to Debenture holders and the liquidations paid by

the transferee company are not to be considered in computation of PC.
