Mergers and spin-offs encounter with a problem of recognizing the transaction as actual purchase. From the commercial law perspective the transaction is always considered as actual purchase while the accounting search for real basis of the case. When the subjects of the transaction are not independent we cannot consider such transaction as real purchase - rather reorganization. Reorganization solely does not justify revaluation of net assets nor the business as a whole.

Keywords: Acquisition; Revitalization; Fair value; Merger; Spin-off company; Transformation, Reorganization; Net assets.
