Pooling allows the acquiror to avoid having to write off the premium portion of the acquisiton price against earnings over a period of time. Purchase accounting (the other binary alternative in acquisitions) requires the reverse. Writeoff of goodwill (i.e. premium of acquisition price over book value) over a period of time. Depresses earnings per share, the life blood of stock valuation, for years. Doug
