29 March 2012 Dear Sir,
I want to know whether accumulated losses and intangible assets are also reduced from free reserves (i.e.for checking the conditions of 60% of (paid up capital + free reserves) for complying the provisions of Section 372A of the Companies Act, 1956.

29 March 2012 Hi


As per the Explanation given under section 372A, 'free reserves' means those reserves which, as per the latest audited balance sheet of the company, are free for distribution as dividend and shall include balance to the credit of the securities premium account but shall not include share application money. If accumulated losses is available then it will be reduced from free reserve.
