Cr. Profit on Sale to PnL 12216158

But while doing my consolidation during the year What effect should i give for my subsidiary opening Balances as on 31 - 03 - 2007 which is my closing balance as on 01-04-2007 as the company was sold off in that date

whereas my subsidiary'A' - Stand alone balance sheet shows a Negative Networth of Rs. -59, 48, 124/- as compared to Consolidated balances of this subsidiary is a positive networth of Rs.49, 31, 429/- which is on account of knocking off of inter company transactions
