  18. PROPERTY REVALUATION RESERVE •  Property usually appreciates in value (goes up) over the assets lifetime • Revaluation occurs when there is a difference in value between the revaluation figure and the net book value. • It should be recorded as follows: Dr Asset in Balance Sheet, Cr Revaluation Reserve • The reserve cannot be distributed to shareholders • The reserve cannot be used to write off goodwill • The reserve can be used to finance a bonus share issue • If the asset depreciates then it should be written off against the profits HIGHER THEORY

  19. HIGHER THEORY • SHARE PREMIUM • Shares and debentures may be issued at PAR ie. At a price equal to their nominal value e.g. £1 share issued at £1. • Shares may be issued at a PREMIUM (at a price ABOVE their nominal or face value i.e. £1 share issued at £1.25.   • A premium on the issue of shares must be treated as CAPITAL RESERVE that can only be used for the following purposes:  • Issuing fully paid bonus shares • Writing off preliminary expenses • Writing off commission paid or discounts allowed on shares or debentures

  20. HIGHER THEORY • EXAMPLE • 100,000 ordinary shares were £1 each and are now being sold as a premium price of£1.50 • The financed by section should be updated as follows:  Issued Share Capital Ordinary Shares (100,000 at £1) £100,000 Reserves General Reserve 10,000 Revaluation Reserve 15,000 Share Premium Reserve (100,000@50p) 50,000 75,000 175,000

  21. HIGHER THEORY • BONUS ISSUE  • If reserves increase beyond the level thought to be needed then shares can be issued to existing shareholders free of charge. • Unlike a Rights Issue, no additional money is received. Share Certificates however are issued.

  22. HIGHER THEORY • EXAMPLE • It is proposed to give Ordinary shareholders a bonus issue of 1 share for every 6 held. • This issue is to be financed from the share premium account. • The value of issued ordinary shares is £36,000 (36,000 at £1 each) and the amount in the share premium account is £10,000. • If 36,000 ordinary shares were sold and 1 in every six is to be issued as a bonus then that would be 36,000/6 = 6,000 shares • 6000 shares at £1 each = £6,000.

  23. HIGHER THEORY Issued Share Capital Ordinary Shares (36,000+6,000) 42,000 Reserves Share Premium Reserve (10-6) 4,000

  24. HIGHER THEORY • Preliminary/ Issue Expenses • These include legal and other expenses incurred when a company is formed • When they are large they are often Capitalised with a proportion being written off each year   • Since the Companies Act 1981 they MAY NOT be shown as assets • They can be written off against any balance on the Share Premium Account • OR • They should e written off in the Profit and Loss account • They can also include expenses incurred in the issue of Debentures

  25. HIGHER THEORY • Factoring • Where a company transfers responsibility for collecting its book debts to a factor • The factor will: • Settle the debts due to the firm • Receive a fee in return (based on the amount of debts paid – plus a service charge) • Manage the sales ledger and arrange for the collection of overdue debts • Advantages of factoring • Reduces debt collection period • Better credit control • Decrease in risk of bad debts

  26. HIGHER THEORY • Operating profit • This is the Net Profit of a company BEFORE Corporation Tax is Deducted
