i have a doubt in ur doubt...its not clear in which year u have profit and in which year u have loss?
when ther is no profit in second year.... why u want to write of even the amt of first year ???
confusion is there
Actually company formed in 2012-13 there is loss and preliminary expenses of 5900 and now in year 2013-14 there again is loss......my question is abt treatment of preliminary expenses? What to do ....thanks in advance
unless u dont have sufficient profit to cover losses and writing off preliminary exp till that tim u need to carry forward it in balance sheet.
hope its clear now.
Agreed with Above expert..!!
As per AS-26,preliminary expenses should be w/o in same year .So.all the above answer seems to be untrue
for applying as 26 there has to be enough profit to set off such exp and losses and now your ans seems unture.
AS 26 says write off.. then irrespective of profit, preliminary expense should be w/off..
Instead of showing the prel exp on Asset side. it should be shown as P&L negative balance
Rohit is right n matter is concluded
Fully w/off in the year it is incurred ...but as rohit says, I don't think it is written in AS 26....In fact this is a conclusion drawn based on schedule 3 of companies act 2013....as there is no item like preliminary exps mentioned there..
Agree with rohit, the same has been provided in AS 26.
Concur with rohit .
as per AS 26 preliminery exp. will be w/off in first year. irrespective of prifit.
nd whether reserve & surplus balance becomes negative.
further schedule Iii there shall not be ficititious item represent in b/s.
