Networth:
Equity Share Capital + Reserves + Preference Capital - Miscellaneous Expenditure
It is the total assets of the company less its current liabilities, long term debt, and miscellaneous expenses. Net worth is also known as shareholder's equity or shareholders funds. Net worth includes equity share capital and all reserves (excluding revaluation reserve) less expenses not written off. It is that part of the company which belongs to the shareholders.
Networth calculated as follows:
Paid up Capital/Partner's Capital
Add: Reserve & Surplus
(excluding revaluation reserves)
Less: Accumulated losses if any -
Less: Miscellaneous Expenditure -
Total Networth**

dear friend,
though there were instances to include preference share capital in the networh,
preference share capital should not be included in the computation of the networth as the same is payable to the outsiders. net worth shall mean the amount after all obligations.
in general, preference capital is payable to outsiders(other than equity holders).
and when it comes to Capital Reserve, please be specific what reserve is exactly you are referring to. preference redemption reserve, capital redemption reserve, debenture redemption reserve are all capital in nature.
however capital reserves is not availble for paying dividends, but the same are available for distribution of the bonus shares, which shall be constitued as available for shareholers and should therefore be included.
hope this clarification will help you for your query, apply this in your specific case.
