What Is Share Application Money in a Balance Sheet?

by Daphne Adams

Published on 26 Sep 2017

Share application money is the amount received by a company from applicants who wish to purchase its shares. It is the money received in respect to an initial public offering of shares. This money can be more or less than the actual amount anticipated in respect to the number of shares floated. The recognition of share application money in a balance sheet should be carefully recorded; otherwise, it will lead to misstatement of the financial position of a company. These funds can be represented on a balance sheet in various states.

As Current Liability

Share application money may be reported on a balance sheet as current liability. Usually, during shares subscription, payment is divided into payment on application, on allotment and call payments. The total amounts received on application are carried forward as current liability until such time when stock is allotted. This is because not every subscription is incorporated in the amount of subscribed share capital. The excess of application funds is actually a current liability to a company.

Share application monies are converted to equity capital of an entity after allotment of shares to qualifying applicants. This means that the share application money becomes equity after the completion of the allotment process. It may, therefore, be recorded as equity share capital on the balance sheet as it awaits issue of stock.

A Financing Source Other than Share Capital and Reserves

The share application money awaiting allotment can be represented on the balance sheet separately between the equity capital and reserves. This will express it as distinct from equity and reserves. Any user of the balance sheet information will have a clear view of the extra funds since they are separately identified.

As an Asset

The applicants who wish to buy shares pay their application money to the company’s bank account. This money increases the cash in the company’s bank account, which consequently means that the current assets of the company increase by an amount equal to the share application money. It is in respect to this that the share application money can be an asset on the balance sheet.

  • Issue of shares - Application & Allotment

The share capital in a limited company consists of number of shares. These shares are denominated in units of monetary value - for example, $1 or $2. The value assigned to each share is called the nominal price or par value.

Issued price of a share is the price at which company issues its shares to general public. The shares may be issued at par (nominal price) or at a premium (above par value). For example ordinary shares of $1 are issued at $1.20 (Issued price – Nominal value = Premium of $0.20).

Example 1 – Issue of shares at par

A company issued 100 000 ordinary shares of $ 0.75 at par.

Ordinary share capital

= Number of shares * Nominal price

= 100 000 shares * $ 0.75

Example 2- Issue of shares at premium

A company issued 80 000 shares of $ 1 at $ 1.20

= 80 000 shares * $ 1

Share Premium

= Issued price – Nominal price

= $ 1.20 - $ 1

Example 3 – Issue of shares at a premium

A company issued 150 000 shares of $ 0.80 at a premium of 30%.

= 150 000 shares * $ 0.80

= $ 120 000

Issued Price

= 0.80 * 130/100

= $ 1.04 - $ 0.80

The share capital of a company may be subject to certain changes. The nominal price of a share cannot be changed, but the number of shares can be increased by means of

  • Prospectus issue
  • Bonus issue
  • Rights Issue

Prospectus Issue

An investor buying a company’s shares usually pay in installments. They usually pay a certain amount with an application form as an offer to purchase the shares (on application). The company responds the offer by sending the investor a letter of allotment and requesting further payment (on allotment). A temporary share holding account is used to record money received on application and allotment.

The main double entries are:

Worked example

F Limited is a large retail company. On 1 February 2016, the company invited applications for 50 000 ordinary shares of $ 1 each at an issue price of $ 1.20. The following terms applied:

Payable on application           $ 0.50

Payable on allotment              $ 0.70

Applications were received for 65 000 shares.

All monies received in respect of the share issue were posted to the bank account and a share issue holding account until the shares were allotted.

At the time of allotment, transfers were made to the share capital account and the share premium account and monies were returned to the unsuccessful applicants.

Share Application money pending allotment – Ind-As/ IFRS

CA Anuj Agrawal

It is quite common where an entity provides some amounts  as Share Application Money for the sake of allotment of such shares in future. The amount in substance will be advance given for such investment and the entity is waiting for the same to be converted into an Equity in future. Now, there was a query which has been sent to the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) of ICAI to know about the treatment of such amounts to be shown in the books of accounts and its impairment etc.

EAC received the below query for the pending allotment money –

i) Whether share application money is to be considered for making provision for diminution in the value of investments even though the shares for the same are yet to be allotted.

ii) Whether share application money, in respect of which shares are allotted subsequent to the end of the financial year but before the adoption of accounts of the company, should be considered as share capital for the purpose of making the provision for diminution in the value of Investments.

iii) For making provision for diminution in the value of investments, whether the company can consider the fact that the revaluation of assets is under progress and that the fair market value of assets would be higher than the historical value/cost of assets?

Reader can refer this opinion in detail by using this link http://resource.cdn.icai.org/33930eac23624-10.pdf related to “Opinion finalised by the committee on 21.5.2013 and 22.5.2013”

In this case EAC has given the opinion of which relevant text is reproduced here “…….  since the money would not be refundable to the company, share application money pending for allotment should be considered as long-term investment while making provision for diminution in the value of investments. Even if the share application money would have been refundable and as such, shown as ‘advances’, an appropriate provision should be made based on their recoverability…..”.

After the applicability of Ind-As the situation will be different and one needs to refer different interpretation and classification of such amounts in contrast to the existing practices which can briefly be noted as below (for reader to have more practical way of thinking)-

1. As per the guidelines prescribed by Ind-As 32 –Financial Instruments- Presentations” if such pending allotment is legally giving all powers/ rights/ entitlements to the investor and it’s just a matter of procedure/time to allot such shares (shares has been identified in numbers as well and non-refundable advance given) then this pending amount for allotment will be treated in substance as Equity Investment (whether it is Investment for trading purposes, Investment in associates/ Joint ventures etc) unlike in present practice it will never be classified as equity unless actual allotment of shares happened (refer EAC opinion above),

2. Now, one can argue that what this would change after its equity classification, Firstly the equity treatment will affect both investor and investee in same way hence investee (who needs to issue such shares) will also need to treat these shares as its capital issued even share certificates has not been issued, Secondly once we have identified that this is equity investment then it will be analysed for its impairment testing based on the category in which such investment has been classified. Example-

a) Where such Investment is valued at fair value through PL / OCI then it will not be required for separate impairment testing,

b) If the investment is treated as associate/ JV investment then it will further be classified in two scenarios where separate financial statements is being prepared then these investment will be measured at cost as per Ind-As 27- “Separate Financial Statements” and will be subject to impairment testing as per Ind-As 36 – “Impairment of Assets”, However if such investment is for consolidated financial statements then equity accounted balances will be used and impairment losses will be analyzed by using reference from Ind-As 28 para 40 to 43 unlike in current accounting practice it is being tested for impairment other then temporary,

3. Now, another situation could be where the amount is being treated just as advance given then it will be recognized as Financial Asset which requires it to measured at fair value at its initial recognition and one needs to look at all other relevant facts if this can be treated as receivable then “Expected credit loss model” (applicable for amortized cost instruments) will also be applicable as defined in Ind-As -109,

4. Another thought would be that where such pending allotment meets equity investment classification and does not fall into either associate/ JV or subsidiary investment then it has to be fair valued (no exception for equity investments other than fair valuation under Ind-As 109) unlike in current accounting where simply these can be shown at cost ,

Here the idea is to provide an approach towards some of the changes that is happing because of new accounting standards applicable in India and reader can take this as a tool to navigate standards as per its own specific requirements.

A reader will appreciate about the main objective of the standard and an approach which one can follow while keeping in mind the basis of origin of such requirements. There could possibly be some specific situations or circumstances where the interpretation of any standard will be different as we should always keep in mind that IND-AS is principle  based standards and lot more areas need management judgment in line with the standards relevant interpretation and best practices.

One has to look into all related facts and patterns before concluding this type of assessment based on this concept. Readers are requested not to take this article as any kind of advice (it is not exhaustive in nature) and should evaluate all relevant factors of each individual cases separately.

SHARE APPLICATION MONEY Definition

SHARE APPLICATION MONEY is that money received by a company during an IPO. Payments received for a subscription of stock is normally received over the IPO life. For example: Widgets Limited has been registered with an authorized capital of $2,00,000 divided into 2,000 shares of $100 each of which, 1,000 shares were offered for public subscription at a premium of $5 per share, payable as:

  • on application $10
  • on allotment $25 (including premium)
  • on first call $40
  • on final call $30

For a total of $105/share

The amounts received would be carried as a current liability until such time as the stock is issued, then it would be considered as part of equity.

1. Financial Statements of a Company

1.1 meaning of financial statement.

“According to S. 2(40) financial statement in relation to a company, includes— (i) a balance sheet as at the end of the financial year; (ii) a profit and loss account, or in case of a company carrying on any activity not for profit, an income and expenditure account for the financial year; (iii) cash flow statement for the financial year; and (iv) any explanatory note annexed to, or forming part of, any document referred to in sub-clause (i) to sub-clause (iv).

However, the financial statement, with respect to One Person Company, small company and dormant company (S. 455) may not include cash flow statement.

1.2 Meaning of Financial Year

According to S. 2(41), financial year, in relation to any company or body corporate, means the period ending on the 31st day of March every year. Where a company has been incorporated on or after 1st day of January of a year, the first financial year will end on 31st day of March of the following year.

If a company or body corporate which is a holding company or a subsidiary or associate company of a company incorporated outside India and is required to follow a different financial year for consolidation of its accounts outside India, the Tribunal may, if it is satisfied, allow any period as its financial year, whether or not that period is a year.

1.3 Types of Financial statements on the Basis of Period

The following are the two types of financial statements :

  • Annual financial statements: These are prepared once in a financial year
  • Quarterly financial statements: These are prepared by listed companies on quarterly basis as per SEBI requirements.

1.4 Legal Requirements related to Financial Statements as provided in S. 129

Sections 128 to 138 deal with financial requirements. The following are the legal requirements as provided in section 129:

Section 129(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that the financial statements

(i) shall give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company or companies,

(ii) comply with the accounting standards notified under S. 133,

(iii) shall be in the form or forms as may be provided for different class or classes of companies in Schedule III and (iv) the items contained in such financial statements shall be in accordance with the accounting standards.

However, the aforesaid provisions of S. 129(1) shall not apply to any insurance or banking company or any company engaged in the generation or supply of electricity, or to any other class of company for which form of financial statement has been specified in or under the Act governing such class of company.

Section 129(2) provides that at every general meeting of a company, the Board of Directors of the Company shall lay before such meeting financial statements for the financial year.

Section 129(3) provides that where a company has one or subsidiaries or associate companies, it shall, in addition to standalone financial statement prepared under section 129(2), prepare a consolidated financial statement of the company and of all the subsidiaries and associate companies. The consolidated financial statement shall be prepared by the company in the same form and manner as that of its own and in accordance with applicable standards. The consolidated financial statement shall also be laid before the annual general meeting of the company along with the laying of the standalone financial statement.

Section 129(4) states that the provisions of the Act applicable to the preparation, adoption and audit of the financial statements of a holding company shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to the consolidated financial statements referred in S. 129(3).

Section 129(5) provides that where the financial statements of a company do not comply with the accounting standards referred to in S. 129(1), the company shall disclose in its financial statements, the deviation from the accounting standards, the reasons for such deviation and the financial effects, if any, arising out of such deviation.

Section 129(6) empowers the Central Government to exempt any class or classes of companies from complying with any of the requirements of S. 129 or rules made thereunder, if it is considered necessary to grant such exemption in the public interest. The Central Government may, by notification, constitute a National Financial Reporting Authority to provide for matters relating to accounting and auditing standards under the Companies Act, 2013 [S. 132].

2. Share Warrant

As per AS-20, Earnings of per Share, defines ‘share warrants’ as “financial instruments which give the holder the right to acquire equity shares”. Thus, share warrants would ultimately form part of the shareholders’ funds. As shares are yet to be allotted against share warrants, these are not shown as part of share capital. It is shown as a separate line item: ‘Money received against share warrants’.

3. Share Application Money Pending Allotment

Share application money pending allotment is to be disclosed as a separate line time on the face of the balance sheet between “Shareholders’ Funds” and “Non-current liabilities”. Share application money not exceeding the issued capital and to the extent not refundable is to be disclosed under line item: “Share application money pending allotment”. The balance of such money is shown under the head “Other current liabilities”. But the amount due for refund and interest thereon, if any, will be shown under the head “Other current liabilities”.

4. Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013

Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 provides the manner in which every company registered under the Act shall prepare its Statement of Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Notes to Accounts or Notes to Financial Statements. There was a need of enhancing the disclosure requirements under the Old Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 to harmonise them with the notified accounting standards. Therefore, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued a revised form of Schedule VI, vide Notification No. S.O. 447(E), dated February 28, 2011. The Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 was applicable to the companies for the Financial Statements to be prepared for the financial year commencing on or after April 1, 2011. As per the new Companies Act, 2013 this has been numbered as Schedule III. Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 prescribes format of financial statements for the following three categories:

DIVISION I Financial statements for a company whose financial statements are required to comply with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.

DIVISION II Financial Statements for a company whose financial statements are drawn up in compliance of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

DIVISION III Financial Statements for a Non-Banking Finance Company whose financial statements are drawn up in compliance of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

4.1 Schedule III | Division-I Non Ind AS

Financial Statements for a company whose financial statements are required to comply with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.

General Instructions for Preparation of Financial Statements

1. Overriding status to other requirements of the Companies Act and to the Accounting Standards: Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 Act provides that where compliance with the requirements of the Act including Accounting Standards as applicable to the companies require any change in treatment or disclosure including addition, amendment, substitution or deletion in the head/sub-head or any changes inter se, in the Financial Statements or statements forming part thereof, the same shall be made and the requirements of the Schedule III shall stand modified accordingly. Thus, the Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 gives overriding status to the other requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Accounting Standards as applicable to the companies. In other words, the requirements of the Accounting Standards and other provisions of the Companies Act would prevail over the Schedule.

2. Disclosure requirements of the Schedule III are in addition to and not in substitution of disclosure requirements of the Accounting Standards: Disclosure requirements specified in Part I (Form of Balance Sheet) and Part II (Form of Statement of Profit and Loss Account) of the Schedule are in addition to and not in substitution of the disclosure requirements specified in the Accounting Standards prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013. Additional disclosures specified in the Accounting Standards shall be made in the Notes to Accounts or by way of additional statement unless required to be disclosed on the face of the Financial Statements. Similarly, all other disclosures as required by the Companies Act shall be made in the Notes to Accounts in addition to the requirements set out in the Schedule.

3. Notes to Accounts shall contain information in addition to that presented in Financial Statements: The Notes to Accounts shall contain information in addition to that presented in the Financial Statements and shall provide where required

(a) narrative descriptions or disaggregations of items recognized in those statements and

(b) information about items that do not qualify for recognition in those statements. These items normally include contingent liabilities and commitments which are not shown on the face of the Balance Sheet.

It further provides that each item on the face of the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss shall be cross-referenced to any related information in the Notes to Accounts. In preparing the Financial Statements including the Notes to Accounts, a balance shall be maintained between providing excessive detail that may not assist users of Financial Statements and not providing important information as a result of too much aggregation. The manner of cross reference has been changed to “Note No.” as compared to “Schedule No.”

4. New norms of rounding off: New norms of rounding off have been introduced depending upon the turnover of the company. The figures appearing in the Financial Statements may be rounded off as below:

Once a unit of measurement is used, it should be used uniformly in the Financial Statements.

5. Figures for immediately preceding period: Except in the case of the first Financial Statements laid before the Company (after its incorporation) the corresponding amounts (comparatives) for the immediately preceding reporting period for all items shown in the Financial Statements including notes shall also be given.

6. Terms used in the Schedule: The terms used in the Schedule shall be as per the applicable Accounting Standards. Notes to General Instructions: This part of Schedule sets out the minimum requirements for disclosure on the face of the Balance Sheet, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (hereinafter referred to as “Financial Statements” for the purpose of this Schedule) and Notes, Line items, sub-line items and sub-totals shall be presented as an addition or substitution on the face of the Financial Statements when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the company’s financial position or performance or to cater to industry/sector-specific disclosure requirements or when required for compliance with the amendments to the Companies Act or under the Accounting Standards.

Name of the Company ……… Balance Sheet as at ……………

(Rupees in………)

See accompanying notes to the financial statements.

5. General Instructions for Preparation of Balance Sheet

The general instructions for preparation of Balance Sheet as per Schedule III are reproduced below:

( a ) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the company’s normal operating cycle;

( b ) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;

( c ) it is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or

Debtors are expected to be realised within the operating cycle of the business and debtors are current assets. However, if some debtors are not expected to be realised within 12 months from the reporting date or in the normal operating cycle of the business, then those debtors will be classified as non-current assets.

Clause (b): If an asset is held primarily for the purpose of being traded: It include stock-in-trade and finished goods, as these are held primarily for the purpose of being traded, and hence these are current assets. Investments may also come under this clause, if these are primarily held for the purpose of being traded.

Clause (c): If an asset is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date: It include investments made in the debentures of another company and maturing within 12 months after the reporting date. Such part of the investments are classified as current assets.  

Clause (d): If an asset is cash or cash equivalents unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date: Cash equivalents are short-term (upto 3 months), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. However, if cash or cash equivalents is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, then it will not be classified as current asset. For example, if a company has a bank balance of ` 50,000 in a bank and it has taken a loan of ` 5,00,000 and there is an agreement between the company, bank and the lender under which there is restriction for use of ` 40,000 out of the aforesaid ` 50,000 for more than 12 months after the reporting date (balance sheet), the bank balance of ` 40,000 out of ` 50,000 is not a current asset for the reporting date (balance sheet).

The period of three months should be counted from the date of investment to determine whether the investment is cash equivalent or not.

5.2 Operating Cycle

An operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. Operating cycle may be a period of less than 12 months, equal to 12 months or more than 12 months. Where the normal operating cycle cannot be identified, it is assumed to have a duration of 12 months.

Items of inventory which may be consumed or realised within the company’s normal operating cycle should be classified as current even if the same are not expected to be consumed or realised within twelve months after the reporting date.

5.3 Liability

A liability shall be classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

( a ) it is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle;

( c ) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or

( d ) the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterpart, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities shall be classified as non-current.

Explanation of definition of current liabilities  

Clause (a): If a liability is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle: A liability, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, will be classified as a current liability if it is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle. Therefore, trade creditors are classified as current liability as they are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle of the business which may be less than, equal to or more than 12 months.

Clause (b): If a liability is held primarily for the purpose of being traded: If a liability is primarily held for the purpose of being traded, it will be classified as a current liability. This happens when a company trades in the liability (current or non-current) of other organization for a commission or any other form of compensation.

Clause (c): If a liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date: If a liability is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date, it will be classified as a current liability. Such liability may or may not arise in the ordinary course of business of the company. For example, if creditors of the company are to be paid within 3 months of the reporting date, will be classified as a current liability. Further, if a part of the long term liability is payable within 12 months of the reporting date, that part of the long-term liability will be classified as current liability. For example, current maturity of the long-term debentures will be classified as a current liability.

Clause (d): When the company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date: A liability is classified as a current liability if the company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. For example, if a company declares dividend at an Annual General Meeting, the dividend is payable within one month of the declaration. If a part of the dividend payable remains unpaid within the prescribed time, the unpaid dividend is transferred to separate “Unpaid Dividend Account” and has to be transferred to separate bank account. The concerned shareholder can make a claim of the unpaid dividend from the company within 7 years. Thus, the company does not have unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Therefore, unpaid dividend will be classified as a current liability.

5.4 Definition of Trade Receivable

A receivable shall be classified as a ‘trade receivable’ if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods sold or services rendered in the normal course of business.

5.5 Definition of Trade Payable

A payable shall be classified as a ‘trade payable’ if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods (i.e. raw material, work-in-progress or stock-in-trade) purchased or services received in the normal course of business.

Module 13: Accounting for Corporations

Balance sheet presentation, learning outcomes.

  • Illustrate the balance sheet presentation of stockholder’s equity

Let’s take another look at the most current regulatory reports for The Home Depot, Inc . On page 33 of the 2019 annual report, the company reported the following components of stockholders’ equity:

Let’s take a look at a side-by-side comparison of a sole proprietorship’s owner’s equity and that of a corporation:

It’s unlikely a sole proprietorship will be following all aspects of GAAP. It would be unlikely to include Other Comprehensive Gains and Losses unless a bank or other influential stakeholder [1] required full GAAP compliance. Other comprehensive gains and losses usually arise from changes in market value of short-term investments and adjustments that arise in translating information from subsidiaries that do business in other nations and therefore use other currencies (foreign currency translation).

In short, other than some differences in terminology and technical differences, the basic expanded version of the accounting equation still holds true:

A = L + E, where E = capital contributions − withdrawals + revenue − expenses.

For a corporation, it could be listed as:

Equity = paid-in capital from the sale of stock (par and in excess of par) − dividends and treasury stock + revenues and other comprehensive income − expenses and other comprehensive losses.

One final note: The balance in retained earnings is generally available for dividend declarations. Some companies state this fact. In some circumstances, however, there may be retained earnings restrictions . These make a portion of the balance currently unavailable for dividends. Restrictions result from one or more of these causes: legal, contractual, or voluntary. For instance, a contractual restriction may be the result of loan covenants. A voluntary restriction may be because of a board resolution. A legal restriction may be imposed as part of a lawsuit settlement. Companies generally disclose retained earnings restrictions in the notes to the financial statements.

In the next section, we’ll study the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, but first, check your understanding of the balance sheet presentation.

Practice Question

  • A stakeholder is different from a shareholder or stockholder. Employees, creditors, customers, government agencies, and a wide variety of other interested parties can be stakeholders. This means they have some kind of stake in the company and what it does (for instance, a not-for-profit concerned with the environment could be a stakeholder in a manufacturing firm). A shareholder/stockholder is an owner because they hold shares of stock. ↵

Money market funds are a fixed income investment that buys debt securities characterized by a short maturity -- less than one year -- and low credit risk -- investing in short-term bonds issued, for example, by government entities. The funds are considered a liquid investment because shares can be redeemed at any time for cash. This liquidity is what places money market funds in the current asset category of your balance sheet.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet lists your company’s assets, liabilities and equity. The information is listed in the format where total assets equals total liabilities plus equity. While there is no standard in accounting for the creation of a balance sheet, customary use has resulted in a typical balance sheet containing two columns. The left-hand column contains information assets and the right-hand column contains information on liabilities and equity.

Current Assets

There are two general categories on the asset side: current assets and long-term assets. Assets fall under current if they can be converted into cash in less than one year. Examples would be money in a checking account, accounts receivable, notes payable within 365 days, and cash. Because funds held in a money market can easily be turned into cash, it belongs in the current asset category.

Determine Value

Determine the value of your money market funds. Call your broker or call the fund manager directly. You will receive the value of the fund as of the previous day's market closing time.

Create Line Item

Create a line item under current assets for the money market fund entry. If using accounting software, create an asset line item and note it as current. If using paper and pencil, add a line for money market fund under the last item in the current assets list. Enter the value of the money market fund and add to the value of the other current assets.

A share premium account shows up in the shareholders’ equity portion of the balance sheet. The share premium account represents the difference between the par value of the shares issued and the subscription or issue price. It's also known as additional paid-in capital, or contributed surplus and can be called paid-in capital in excess of par value. This account is a statutory reserve account, one that's non-distributable.

The share premium can be money received for the sale of either common or preferred stock . A balance is recorded in this account only when there's a direct share sale from the company, usually from a capital raise or initial public offering . Secondary trading between investors does not impact the share premium account.

Key Takeaways

  • Share premium is the credited difference in price between the par value, or face value, of shares, and the total price a company received for recently-issued shares.
  • The amount credited in the share premium account typically fluctuates quarter-to-quarter as a company issues new shares at market value, rather than at the par value.
  • The share premium cannot be used for distributing dividends or any other payouts and can only be used for whatever has been expressly laid out in the company's bylaws.
  • A share premium account appears in the shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet.

Many companies issue shares at nominal par value, such as $0.01 per share, meaning many companies will have a share premium account balance.

For example, say a company issues 1,000 shares at a par value of $0.01 per share. The company actually received $15 per share during an offering. The difference between the par value and the subscription amount is the share premium. Ten dollars is credited to the common stock account and the additional $14,990 is credited to the share premium or additional paid-in capital account.

A share premium account can be used to write off certain expenses, such as the cost of underwriting, commissions paid, and certain discounts. The accounts can also be used to issue bonus shares.

The value of a share premium account likely changes over time as a company issues new shares at the market value as opposed to the par value.

The funds in the share premium account cannot be distributed as dividends and may only be used for purposes outlined in the company’s bylaws or other governing documents. Often, the share premium can be used to pay the expenses of issuing equity, such as underwriter fees or for issuing bonus shares to shareholders.

Beyond selling shares above par, the share premium account can be credited if the government donates land to the company.

Such expenses that can be written off include commissions paid and discounts allowed. Buybacks can also reduce this account—that is, if the sale price was less than the repurchase price, the difference is debited to additional paid-in capital.

For example, a company buys back 1,000 shares at $10 a share, where the par value is $0.01. The original price from the initial sale of this stock was $5 a share. The transaction would be a $10 debit to common stock, $4,990 debit to additional paid-in capital, and a $5,000 debit to retained earnings. Plus, the $10,000 credit to the cash account used for the purchase.

Share Premium and Shareholders' Equity

The shareholders’ equity portion of the balance sheet shows the initial amount of money invested in the business. The shareholders’ equity also lists retained earnings as the value of net earnings not paid out as dividends.

Retained earnings are often used to pay off debt, reinvest back into the company for research and development purposes, or for a new business or capital acquisitions. A company’s net earnings, after taxes, and its retained earnings represent the total net worth of the company. If a net loss is greater than the retained earnings, there are negative retained earnings shown as a deficit.

The share premium, or the additional paid-in capital account, and retained earnings are usually the two biggest components of shareholders’ equity. In terms of the shareholders’ equity, the first account is usually the common stock account followed by the additional paid-in capital account. Other accounts appearing in the shareholders’ equity section of the balance sheet can include accumulated other comprehensive income, treasury stock, and unearned compensation.

What is a Debenture?

A written instrument or document which is issued by the company acknowledging the borrowings is known as Debenture . In this document, the terms of repayment of principal and payment of interest at a specific rate are stated. 

According to Section 2(30) of the Companies Act, 2013 ,”Debenture includes debenture stock, bonds and any other instrument of the company evidencing a debt, whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not.” According to Topham, ” A debenture is a document given by a company as evidence of a debt to the holder usually arising out of a loan and most commonly secured by a charge.”

The person to whom debentures are issued is called Debentureholder .

Characteristics of Debenture:

The characteristics of debentures are as follows:

  • A debenture is a certificate or written document, which is an acknowledgement of debt taken by a company.
  • It is borrowing of a company.
  • It is issued under the seal of a company. 
  • Interests on Debentures is a charge against profit.
  • It contains a contract for the repayment of the principal sum at a specified date.
  • The funds raised by the issue of debentures are for a long period of time, such as 7 years, 10 years, or 12 years, and the loan raised by the issue of debentures is also called ‘Loan Capital’.

Issue of Debentures:

A listed company can go for the issue of debentures for public subscription, but an unlisted company cannot issue debentures to the public in general. However, by private placement, both listed and unlisted companies may issue debentures. The accounting entries and procedures for issuing debentures are similar to that for the issue of shares. Debentures may be issued for cash; consideration other than cash; and as collateral security. 

Debentures may be issued at par; premium; or at discount whether issued for cash or consideration other than cash.

Accounting Treatment of Issue of Debenture:

The journal entries passed for issuing debentures are the same as in the case of shares. Only ‘Debenture A/c’ is used in place of ‘Share Capital A/c’. The rate of interest is usually pre-fixed with Debenture A/c.
