The above investment in the shares of the acquired company has been considered as long-
term strategic investment and, therefore, has been accounted for at cost, i.e. at ₹ 1,551 per
share in the financial statements. No provision for diminution in value has been made in
the books of account.
As per the requirement of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, the aggregate market
value of the quoted shares has been properly reflected in the financial statements.
On 28th March, 2024, the acquired shares were quoted at ₹ 880 per share on BSE and the
current market price as on 18th July was around ₹ 300.
Considering the tangible and intangible benefits the Management is of the view that there
is no permanent diminution in the value of the strategic investment in the acquired
company, as the same has been considered as a long-term investment. Therefore, there is
no need for provision for diminution in the value of the shares of the acquired company.
i) Whether the accounting treatment 'at cost' under the head ‘Long Term Investments’
without providing for any diminution in value is correct and in accordance with the
provisions of AS 13.
ii) If any provision for diminution in the value is to be made, whether such provision
should be charged to the profit and loss account or whether same can be considered as
deferred expenditure and amortised over a period of 5 years. Whether it is open for the
company to charge off such diminution in the value in the books of account instead of
creating provision.
iii)Whether the premium paid for strategic benefits for investment described in facts of the
case, can be accounted for separately in the books of account keeping in view that AS 13
specifies that long term investments should be recorded at cost and there is no specific
provision in the standard in respect of accounting for premium paid for strategic
