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
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
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.

Agreed with Rohit...previously preliminary expenses was allowed to be shown in assets side until they are written off...but now after revised schedule VI is applicable it clearly states that preliminary expenses can not be shown as asset; to be shown as deduction to reserve & surplus...
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.
