Any additional payment w.r.t the contingency should be included in the consideration if payment is probable and a reasonable estimate can be made.

After Amalgamation there will be no set-off for inter-co B/R and B/P as the bills are discounted. There will be no contingent liability but the discounted bills are actual liability to bank and are reflected in B/P.
