Or it is to be netted and disclosed as notes to consolidated financial statements

Goodwill is an intangible asset.

Acquired goodwill is annually tested for impairment and written off.

Internally generated goodwill is written off.

Bargain purchase- negative goodwill is taken to income statement.

It cannot be setoff with any other head. 

Goodwill and capital reserve are not like profit and loss
Those two terminology are used to express whether the acquisition of a company is beneficial to the company or not to the shareholder.
So netting off of both goodwill or capital reserve is not allowed by the standard.
Goodwill is an intangible asset.
capital reserves are out of capital profit.
No adjustment allowed.
