Hi! A gentleman owns 100% of the stock of two different companies. One company is doing very well, but the other is not. The owner merged the two companies; thus, created a brand new company. Can anyone help me with a footnote disclosure to explain this? I know there is no such thing as "big gaap, little gaap," but the BIG GAAP just doesn't seem to apply.

Thanks, HoperGirl

Re-read the chapter, there must be something about this type of disclosure or they wouldn't have asked the question.
