    Hi,

    If the fair value of the asset at acquisition of a subsidiary is lower than their book value then this will reduce the net assets at acquisition. If the net assets at acquisition are lower then the value of goodwill will be higher as we are deducting a smaller net assets figure in our goodwill calculation.

    Thanks
