b.ii.  SFAS 38 - Entities Under Common Control Business combination transaction amongst entities under common control, in form of transfer of
business  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  reorganisation  of  entities  under  common  control,  does not represent a change of ownership in terms of economic substance, therefore, there shall be
no gain or loss recognised by the group as a whole and by individual entities within the group. Since  the  business  combination  transaction  amongst  entities  under  common  control  does  not
cause a change in economic substance of ownership of the transferred business, therefore the transaction is recognised at book value using the pooling interest method.
The  entity  that  accepts  or  releases  a  business  in  a  combination  or  separation  of  business amongst entities under common control, shall recognise the difference between benefits being
transferred or received and the recorded amount of every business combination transaction as equity and present it under additional paid-in capitalagio.
