    why transferor company will issue shares...??

    yes you are right the transferee co will issue the shares. My typing mistake. This method is also known as Share Proportion Method. Suppose, in exchange of 50 shares of transferor 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.

    Purchase Consideration is the sale price of the business agreed mutually between the two parties, the transferor company (selling company) and the transferee company (purchasing company). The AS 14 defines the Purchase Consideration as “ the aggregate of the shares and other securities issue and payment made in the form of cash or otherwise by the transferee company to the “SHAREHOLDERS OF THE TRANSFEROR COMPANY”. In other words any payment made to or in satisfaction of other liabilities should not be included in the amount of purchase consideration. If any payment is made to the creditors, debenture holders or any other liabilities, then it should be assumed that such liability is taken over by the transferee company and then it is settled by the transferee company. It should also be noted that liquidation expenses of the transferor company should not be included in the purchase consideration. 8.5.2 METHODS OF PURCHASE CONSIDERATION: a. Lump-sum method: The problem may give the amount of purchase consideration directly and hence there will not be any need to calculate the purchase consideration. e.g. Alka techno Ltd. agrees to take over business of WLC Ltd for a sum of Rs.10 lakhs. b. Net Payment Method: If the purchase consideration is not given Lum-sum then this method should be adopted. Here the purchase consideration is arrived at by adding up cash paid and the agreed values of shares, securities issued by the transferee company to share holders of transferor company in discharge of the purchase consideration. e.g. Reena Engineers Ltd. takes over business of Ramesh Kashyap Ltd. and agrees to pay the purchase consideration as follows: issue of 10,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each at Rs. 12 each and cash Rs. 50,000. Hence the purchase consideration would be Rs 10,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each at Rs. 12 each 1,20,000 Cash 50,000 Purchase consideration 1,70,000

    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
