1
Where shares in a company are held on trust for the purposes of a pension scheme or an employees' share scheme, there is to be disregarded any residual interest which has not vested in possession, being an interest of the company or, as respects—
- section 23(4),
- paragraph 60(2) of Schedule 4, or
- paragraph 19(3) of Schedule 9,
of any subsidiary of the company.

a
all the liabilities arising under the scheme having been satisfied or provided for, or
b
the residual beneficiary ceasing to participate in the scheme, or
c
the trust property at any time exceeding what is necessary for satisfying the liabilities arising or expected to arise under the scheme.

3
Where by virtue of paragraph 1 of this Schedule any shares are exempt from section 144 or 145 at the time when they are issued or acquired but the residual interest in question vests in possession before they are disposed of or fully paid up, those sections apply to the shares as if they had been issued or acquired on the date on which that interest vests in possession.
4
Where by virtue of paragraph 1 any shares are exempt from sections 146 to 149 at the lime when they are acquired but the residual interest in question vests in possession before they are disposed of, those sections apply to the shares as if they had been acquired on the date on which that interest vests in possession.
5
The above sub-paragraphs apply irrespective of the date on which the residual interest vests or vested in possession; but where the date on which it vested was before 26th July 1983 (the passing of the Companies (Beneficial Interests) Act 1983), they have effect as if the vesting had occurred on that date.

PART II

Accounting Principles and Rules
Section A

Accounting Principles

Preliminary
9
Subject to paragraph 15 below, the amounts to be included in respect of all items shown in a company's accounts shall be determined in accordance with the principles set out in paragraphs 10 to 14.

Accounting principles
10
The company shall be presumed to be carrying on business as a going concern.
11
Accounting policies shall be applied consistently from one financial year to the next.
12
The amount of any item shall be determined on a prudent basis, and in particular—
a
only profits realised at the balance sheet date shall be included in the profit and loss account; and
b
all liabilities and losses which have arisen or are likely to arise in respect of the financial year to which the accounts relate or a previous financial year shall be taken into account, including those which only become apparent between the balance sheet date and the date on which it is signed on behalf of the board of directors in pursuance of section 238 of this Act.
13
All income and charges relating to the financial year to which the accounts relate shall be taken into account, without regard to the date of receipt or payment
14
In determining the aggregate amount of any item the amount of each individual asset or liability that falls to be taken into account shall be determined separately.

Departure from the accounting principles
15
If it appears to the directors of a company that there are special reasons for departing from any of the principles stated above in preparing the company's accounts in respect of any financial year they may do so, but particulars of the departure, the reasons for it and its effect shall be given in a note to the accounts.
Section B

Historical Cost Accounting Rules

Preliminary
16
Subject to section C of this Part of this Schedule, the amounts to be included in respect of all items shown in a company's accounts shall be determined in accordance with the rules set out in paragraphs 17 to 28.

Fixed assets

General rules
17
Subject to any provision for depreciation or diminution in value made in accordance with paragraph 18 or 19 the amount to be included in respect of any fixed asset shall be its purchase price or production cost
18
In the case of any fixed asset which has a limited useful economic life, the amount of—
a
its purchase price or production cost; or
b
where it is estimated that any such asset will have a residual value at the end of the period of its useful economic life, its purchase price or production cost less that estimated residual value;
shall be reduced by provisions for depreciation calculated to write off that amount systematically over the period of the asset's useful economic life.
19
1
Where a fixed asset investment of a description falling to be included under item B.III of either of the balance sheet formats set out in Part I of this Schedule has diminished in value provisions for diminution in value may be made in respect of it and the amount to be included in respect of it may be reduced accordingly; and any such provisions which are not shown in the profit and loss account shall be disclosed (either separately or in aggregate) in a note to the accounts.
2
Provisions for diminution in value shall be made in respect of any fixed asset which has diminished in value if the reduction in its value is expected to be permanent (whether its useful economic life is limited or not), and the amount to be included in respect of it shall be reduced accordingly ; and any such provisions which are not shown in the profit and loss account shall be disclosed (either separately or in aggregate) in a note to the accounts.
3
Where the reasons for which any provision was made in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) or (2) have ceased to apply to any extent, that provision shall be written back to the extent that it is no longer necessary ; and any amounts written back in accordance with this sub-paragraph which are not shown in the profit and loss account shall be disclosed (either separately or in aggregate) in a note to the accounts.

Rules for determining particular fixed asset items
20
1
Notwithstanding that an item in respect of " development costs " is included under " fixed assets" in the balance sheet formats set out in Part I of this Schedule, an amount may only be included in a company's balance sheet in respect of development costs in special circumstances.
2
If any amount is included in a company's balance sheet in respect of development costs the following information shall be given in a note to the accounts—
a
the period over which the amount of those costs originally capitalised is being or is to be written off; and
b
the reasons for capitalising the development costs in question.
21
1
The application of paragraphs 17 to 19 in relation to goodwill (in any case where goodwill is treated as an asset) is subject to the following provisions of this paragraph.
2
Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, the amount of the consideration for any goodwill acquired by a company shall be reduced by provisions for depreciation calculated to write off that amount systematically over a period chosen by the directors of the company.
3
The period chosen shall not exceed the useful economic life of the goodwill in question.
4
In any case where any goodwill acquired by a company is shown or included as an asset in the company's balance sheet the period chosen for writing off the consideration for that goodwill and the reasons for choosing that period shall be disclosed in a note to the accounts.

Current assets
22
Subject to paragraph 23, the amount to be included in respect of any current asset shall be its purchase price or production cost
23
1
If the net realisable value of any current asset is lower than its purchase price or production cost the amount to be included in respect of that asset shall be the net realisable value.
2
Where the reasons for which any provision for diminution in value was made in accordance with sub-paragraph (1) have ceased to apply to any extent, that provision shall be written back to the extent that it is no longer necessary.

Miscellaneous and supplementary provisions

Excess of money owed over value received as an asset item
24
1
Where the amount repayable on any debt owed by a company is greater than the value of the consideration received in the transaction giving rise to the debt, the amount of the difference may be treated as an asset.
2
Where any such amount is so treated—
a
it shall be written off by reasonable amounts each year and must be completely written off before repayment of the debt; and
b
if the current amount is not shown as a separate item in the company's balance sheet it must be disclosed in a note to the accounts.

Assets included at a fixed amount
25
1
Subject to the following sub-paragraph, assets which fall to be included—
a
amongst the fixed assets of a company under the item " tangible assets " ; or
b
amongst the current assets of a company under the item " raw materials and consumables " ;
may be included at a fixed quantity and value.
2
Sub-paragraph (1) applies to assets of a kind which are constantly being replaced, where—
a
their overall value is not material to assessing the company's state of affairs ; and
b
their quantity, value and composition are not subject to material variation.

Determination of purchase price or production cost
26
1
The purchase price of an asset shall be determined by adding to the actual price paid any expenses incidental to its acquisition.
2
The production cost of an asset shall be determined by adding to the purchase price of the raw materials and consumables used the amount of the costs incurred by the company which are directly attributable to the production of that asset
3
In addition, there may be included in the production cost of an asset—
a
a reasonable proportion of the costs incurred by the company which are only indirectly attributable to the production of that asset, but only to the extent that they relate to the period of production ; and
b
interest on capital borrowed to finance the production of that asset, to the extent that it accrues in respect of the period of production ;
provided, however, in a case within paragraph (b) above, that the inclusion of the interest in determining the cost of that asset and the amount of the interest so included is disclosed in a note to the accounts.
4
In the case of current assets distribution costs may not be included in production costs.
27
1
Subject to the qualification mentioned below, the purchase price or production cost of—
a
any assets which fall to be included under any item shown in a company's balance sheet under the general item " stocks " ; and
b
any assets which are fungible assets (including investments);
may be determined by the application of any of the methods mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) below in relation to any such assets of the same class.
The method chosen must be one which appears to the directors to be appropriate in the circumstances of the company.
2
Those methods are—
a
the method known as " first in, first out" (FIFO);
b
the method known as " last in, first out " (LIFO);
c
a weighted average price ; and
d
any other method similar to any of the methods mentioned above.
3
Where in the case of any company—
a
the purchase price or production cost of assets falling to be included under any item shown in the company's balance sheet has been determined by the application of any method permitted by this paragraph ; and
b
the amount shown in respect of that item differs materially from the relevant alternative amount given below in this paragraph ;
the amount of that difference shall be disclosed in a note to the accounts.
4
Subject to sub-paragraph (5) below, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b) above, the relevant alternative amount, in relation to any item shown in a company's balance sheet, is the amount which would have been shown in respect of that item if assets of any class included under that item at an amount determined by any method permitted by this paragraph had instead been included at their replacement cost as at the balance sheet date.
5
The relevant alternative amount may be determined by reference to the most recent actual purchase price or production cost before the balance sheet date of assets of any class included under the item in question instead of by reference to their replacement cost as at that date, but only if the former appears to the directors of the company to constitute the more appropriate standard of comparison in the case of assets of that class.
6
For the purposes of this paragraph, assets of any description shall be regarded as fungible if assets of that description are substantially indistinguishable one from another.

Substitution of original stated amount where price or cost unknown
28
Where there is no record of the purchase price or production cost of any asset of a company or of any price, expenses or costs relevant for determining its purchase price or production cost in accordance with paragraph 26, or any such record cannot be obtained without unreasonable expense or delay, its purchase price or production cost shall be taken for the purposes of paragraphs 17 to 23 to be the value ascribed to it in the earliest available record of its value made on or after its acquisition or production by the company.
Section C

Alternative Accounting Rules

Preliminary
29
1
The rules set out in section B are referred to below in this Schedule as the historical cost accounting rules.
2
Those rules, with the omission of paragraphs 16, 21 and 25 to 28, are referred to below in this Part of this Schedule as the depreciation rules; and references below in this Schedule to the historical cost accounting rules do not include the depreciation rules as they apply by virtue of paragraph 32.
30
Subject to paragraphs 32 to 34, the amounts to be included in respect of assets of any description mentioned in paragraph 31 may be determined on any basis so mentioned.

Alternative accounting rules
31
1
Intangible fixed assets, other than goodwill, may be included at their current cost
2
Tangible fixed assets may be included at a market value determined as at the date of their last valuation or at their current cost.
3
Investments of any description falling to be included under item B.III of either of the balance sheet formats set out in Part I of this Schedule may be included either—
a
at a market value determined as at the date of their last valuation ; or
b
at a value determined on any basis which appears to the directors to be appropriate in the circumstances of the company;
but in the latter case particulars of the method of valuation adopted and of the reasons for adopting it shall be disclosed in a note to the accounts.
4
Investments of any description falling to be included under item C.III of either of the balance sheet formats set out in Part 1 of this Schedule may be included at their current cost.
5
Stocks may be included at their current cost.

Application of the depreciation rules
32
1
Where the value of any asset of a company is determined on any basis mentioned in paragraph 31, that value shall be, or (as the case may require) be the starting point for determining, the amount to be included in respect of that asset in the company's accounts, instead of its purchase price or production cost or any value previously so determined for that asset; and the depreciation rules shall apply accordingly in relation to any such asset with the substitution for any reference to its purchase price or production cost of a reference to the value most recently determined for that asset on any basis mentioned in paragraph 31.
2
The amount of any provision for depreciation required in the case of any fixed asset by paragraph 18 or 19 as it applies by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) is referred to below in this paragraph as the adjusted amount, and the amount of any provision which would be required by that paragraph in the ease of that asset according to the historical cost accounting rules is referred to as the historical cost amount.
3
Where sub-paragraph (1) applies in the case of any fixed asset the amount of any provision for depreciation in respect of that asset—
a
included in any item shown in the profit and loss account in respect of amounts written off assets of the description in question; or
b
taken into account in stating any item so shown which is required by note (14) of the notes on the profit and loss account formats set out in Part I of this Schedule to be stated after taking into account any necessary provisions for depreciation or diminution in value of assets included under it;
may be the historical cost amount instead of the adjusted amount, provided that the amount of any difference between the two is shown separately in the profit and loss account or in a note to the accounts.

Additional information to be provided in case of departure from historical cost accounting rules
33
1
This paragraph applies where the amounts to be included in respect of assets covered by any items shown in a company's accounts have been determined on any basis mentioned in paragraph 31.
2
The items affected and the basis of valuation adopted in determining the amounts of the assets in question in the case of each such item shall be disclosed in a note to the accounts.
3
In the case of each balance sheet item affected (except stocks) either—
a
the comparable amounts determined according to the historical cost accounting rules; or
b
the differences between those amounts and the corresponding amounts actually shown in the balance sheet in respect of that item;
shall be shown separately in the balance sheet or in a note to the accounts.
4
In sub-paragraph (3) above, references in relation to any item to the comparable amounts determined as there mentioned are references to—
a
the aggregate amount which would be required to be shown in respect of that item if the amounts to be included in respect of all the assets covered by that item were determined according to the historical cost accounting rules ; and
b
the aggregate amount of the cumulative provisions for depreciation or diminution in value which would be permitted or required in determining those amounts according to those rules.

Revaluation reserve
34
1
With respect to any determination of the value of an asset of a company on any basis mentioned in paragraph 31, the amount of any profit or loss arising from that determination (after allowing, where appropriate, for any provisions for depreciation or diminution in value made otherwise than by reference to the value so determined and any adjustments of any such provisions made in the light of that determination) shall be credited or (as the case may be) debited to a separate reserve ("the revaluation reserve").
2
The amount of the revaluation reserve shall be shown in the company's balance sheet under a separate sub-heading in the position given for the item " revaluation reserve " in Format 1 or 2 of the balance sheet formats set out in Part I of this Schedule, but need not be shown under that name.
3
The revaluation reserve shall be reduced to the extent that the amounts standing to the credit of the reserve are in the opinion of the directors of the company no longer necessary for the purpose of the accounting policies adopted by the company; but an amount may only be transferred from the reserve to the profit and loss account if either—
a
the amount in question was previously charged to that account; or
b
it represents realised profit.
4
The treatment for taxation purposes of amounts credited or debited to the revaluation reserve shall be disclosed in a note to the accounts.

If at the end of its financial year the company falls within paragraph 7 or 8 in relation to more bodies corporate than one, and the number of them is such that, in the directors' opinion, compliance with either or both of those paragraphs would result in particulars of excessive length being given, compliance with paragraph 7 or (as the case may be) paragraph 8 is not required except in the case of the bodies carrying on the businesses the results of the carrying on of which (in the directors' opinion) principally affected the amount of the profit or loss of the company or the amount of its assets.

PART I

Matters of a General Nature

Asset values
1
1
If significant changes in the fixed assets of the company or of any of its subsidiaries have occurred in the financial year, the report shall contain particulars of the changes.
2
If, in the case of such of those assets as consist in interests in land, their market value (as at the end of the financial year) differs substantially from the amount at which they are included in the balance sheet, and the difference is, in the directors' opinion, of such significance as to require that the attention of members of the company or of holders of its debentures should be drawn to it, the report shall indicate the difference with such degree of precision as is practicable.

Directors' interests
2
1
The report shall state the following, with respect to each person who, at the end of the financial year, was a director of the company—
a
whether or not, according to the register kept by the company for the purposes of sections 324 to 328 of this Act (director's obligation to notify his interests in the company and companies in the same group), he was at the end of that year interested in shares in, or debentures of, the company or any other body corporate, being the company's subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of the company's holding company;
b
if he was so interested—
i
the number and amount of shares in, and debentures of, each body (specifying it) in which, according to that register, he was then interested,
ii
whether or not (according to that register) he was, at the beginning of that year (or, if he was not then a director, when he became one), interested in shares in, or debentures of, the company or any other such body corporate, and
iii
if he was, the number and amount of shares in, and debentures of, each body (specifying it) in which, according to that register, he was interested at the beginning of the financial year or (as the case may be) when he became a director.
2
An interest in shares or debentures which, under sections 324 to 328, falls to be treated as being the interest of a director is so treated for the purposes of this paragraph; and the references above to the time when a person became a director, in the case of a person who became a director on more than one occasion, is to the time when he first became a director.
3
The particulars required by this paragraph may be given by way of notes to the company's accounts in respect of the financial year, instead of being stated in the directors' report.

Political and charitable gifts
3
1
The following applies if the company (not being the wholly-owned subsidiary of a company incorporated in Great Britain) has in the financial year given money for political purposes or charitable purposes or both.
2
If the money given exceeded £200 in amount, there shall be contained in the directors' report for the year—
a
in the case of each of the purposes for which money has been given, a statement of the amount of money given for that purpose, and
b
in the case of political purposes for which money has been given, the following particulars (so far as applicable)—
i
the name of each person to whom money has been given for those purposes exceeding £200 in amount and the amount of money given.
ii
if money exceeding £200 in amount has been given by way of donation or subscription to a political party, the identity of the party and the amount of money given.
4
1
Paragraph 3 does not apply to a company which, at the end of the financial year, has subsidiaries which have, in that year, given money as mentioned above, but is not itself the wholly-owned subsidiary of a company incorporated in Great Britain.
2
But in such a case there shall (if the amount of money so given in that year by the company and the subsidiaries between them exceeds £200) be contained in the directors' report for the year—
a
in the case of each of the purposes for which money has been given by the company and the subsidiaries between them, a statement of the amount of money given for that purpose, and
b
in the case of political purposes for which money has been given, the like particulars (so far as applicable) as are required by paragraph 3.
5
1
The following applies for the interpretation of paragraphs 3 and 4.
2
A company is to be treated as giving money for political purposes if, directly or indirectly—
a
it gives a donation or subscription to a political party of the United Kingdom or any part of it; or
b
it gives a donation or subscription to a person who, to the company's knowledge, is carrying on, or proposing to carry on, any activities which can, at the time at which the donation or subscription was given, reasonably be regarded as likely to affect public support for such a political party as is mentioned above.
3
Money given for charitable purposes to a person who, when it was given, was ordinarily resident outside the United Kingdom is to be left out of account.
4
" Charitable purposes " means purposes which are exclusively charitable; and, as respects Scotland, " charitable" is to be construed as if it were contained in the Income Tax Acts.

PART V

Employee Involvement
11
1
This Part of this Schedule applies to the directors' report where the average number of persons employed by the company in each week during the financial year exceeded 250.

2
Where property is held on mist and any interest in shares or debentures is comprised in the property, any beneficiary of the trust who (apart from this paragraph) does not have an interest in the shares or debentures is to be taken as having such an interest; but this paragraph is without prejudice to the following provisions of this Part of this Schedule.

For purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b), a person is taken to be entitled to exercise or control the exercise of a right conferred by the holding of shares or debentures if he—
a

b
is under an obligation (whether or not so subject) the fulfilment of which would make him so entitled.
3
A person is not by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)(b) taken to be interested in shares or debentures by reason only that he—
a
has been appointed a proxy to vote at a specified meeting of a company or of any class of its members and at any adjournment of that meeting, or
b
has been appointed by a corporation to act as its representative at any meeting of a company or of any class of its members.

b
he is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of that body corporate.

Where a person is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of a body corporate, and that body corporate is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of any of the voting power at general meetings of another body corporate (" the effective voting power "), then, for purposes of paragraph 4(b), the effective voting power is taken to be exercisable by that person.
As this paragraph applies for the purposes of section 346(4) and (5), " more than one-half" is substituted for " one-third or more ".

11
There is to be disregarded an interest of a person subsisting by virtue of—

This includes, in relation to any person, all sums which, by virtue either of his contract of employment or of any enactment (including any order made or direction given under an Act), are payable on account of the remuneration which would, in the ordinary course, have become payable to him in respect of a period of holiday had his employment with the company continued until he became entitled to be allowed the holiday.
11
The following amounts owed by the company to an employee are treated as wages payable by it to him in respect of the period for which they are payable—

2
No increase or reduction of the money sum specified above in this paragraph affects any case where the relevant date (or, where provisions of this Schedule apply by virtue of section 196, the date referred to in subsection (4) of that section) occurred before the coming into force of the increase or reduction.

Priority for third party advancing funds for wage-payments, etc.
13
Where any payment has been made—

to any clerk, servant, workman or labourer in the employment of the company on account of wages or salary, or
b
to any such clerk, servant, workman or labourer or, in case of his death, to any other person in his right, on account of accrued holiday remuneration,
out of money advanced by some person for that purpose, the person by whom the money was advanced has in the winding up a right of priority in respect of the money so advanced and paid up to the amount by which the sum in respect of which the clerk, servant, workman or labourer, or other person in his right, would have been entitled to priority in the winding up has been diminished by reason of the payment having been made.

Interpretation for the above paragraphs
14
For purposes of this Schedule—

Sch. 24 | The derivation of any entry in this Schedule is the cumulative effect of the original provision of the Act of 1948, 1967, 1972 Sc., 1976, 1980 or 1981 in so far as it provided a penalty for contravention, with the effect (in certain cases) of section 80 of, and Schedule 2 to, the Act of 1980. The derivation may also include provisions of the general law relating to the trial and punishment of statutory offences of greater or lesser gravity. 1980 Sch. 2 was amended by OinC-1 No. 51. OinC-2 Nos. 2, 3 and 4 amended 1948 ss. 187 and 328 and 1972 Sc. s. 11 in respect of punishment of contraventions of those sections in Scotland.
