General Reserves never have a debit balance.
Reserve means credit balance taken apart from profits.
It may be possible that there are Miscellaneous Expenditure to the Extent Not Written Off or Adjusted.

in the case merger, there is only one out of goodwill or general reserve. after adjustment there is dr. balance of reserve ,then it is goodwill.
