In the books of subsidiary company: premium will be shown as securities premium. Thus total cash received from them will be in share capital to the extent of face value nultipled by no of shares and the amount in excess of that will be in securities premium.

In the books of parent company: the entire investment in the subsidiary will be the cost of investment in their investments group.

while consolidating:both the securities premium and the goodwill should be netted off.
