Value Accretion/Dilution in Business Combinations: An Integrated Perspective

 

ABT and CGRAM are two combining companies undertaking corporate restructuring activity via acquisition route whereby the ABT serves as the acquirer and CGRAM serves as the acquiree. The effective date of combination happens to be April 1st 2002. The standalone balance sheets of the combining companies as of the end of FY-2002 (March 31st 2002) is made available as Exhibit I, while Exhibit II offers a snapshot of FY-2002 accounting activities of the combining companies in their standalone capacity. As part of the due-diligence process in-connection with this M&A, the existing management of the ABT in general and ABT’s M&A Team in particular, analysed the historical performance of both ABT and CGRAM, and in-turn derived the 5-year accounting forecasts for the combining companies in their standalone  capacity.1 These 5-year accounting forecasts for the standalone entities are made available as Exhibit III and Exhibit IV.
