How do I record a free credit toward an asset purchase when i own the selling and buying entities?

I own Company A, Inc and Company B, LLC (Single Member).  Company A sells a land asset to Company B for $300k.  The settlement statement reflects a $50k credit from Seller (Company A) to Buyer (Company B).  I can't reduce the purchase price to reflect it as a gift of equity because the cost basis must be accurate.  The $50k is not a loan or investment.  My gut tells me to reflect it as a gift income.  Is this correct?
