DIVIDENDS
A dividend is the distribution of divisible profits of the company among the members according to the
shares held by each of them in the capital of the company.
Under Sec 123(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, no dividend shall be declared or paid by the company
for any financial year except -
(a) out of profits of the company for that financial year arrived at after providing for depreciation
in accordance with provisions of Section 123(2); or
(b) out of profits for any previous financial years arrived at after providing for depreciation in
accordance with the provisions of that sub section and remaining undistributed;
(c) out of both above;
(d) out of moneys provided by the central government or any state government for the payment of
dividend by the company in pursuance of any guarantee given by that government.

Provided that no dividend shall be declared or paid by a company from its reserves other than
free reserves.

A company may declare dividend out of the accumulated profits earned by it in previous years and
transferred by it to the reserves, in the event of inadequacy or absence of profits in any year, subject
to the fulfillment of the following conditions as per Companies (Declaration and Payment of
Dividend) Rules, 2014:
(1) The rate of dividend declared shall not exceed the average of the rates at which dividend
was declared by it in the three years immediately preceding that year;
(2) the total amount to be drawn from such accumulated profits shall not exceed one-tenth of
the sum of its paid-up share capital and free reserves as appearing in the latest audited
financial statement.
(3) The amount so drawn shall first be utilized to set off the losses incurred in the financial year
in which dividend is declared before dividend in respect of equity shares is declared.
(4) The balance of reserves after such withdrawal shall not fall below fifteen per cent of its
paid up capital as appearing in the latest audited financial statement.
(5) (omitted via Companies (Declaration and Payment of Dividend) Second Amendment Rules,
2015 issued on 29th May, 2015)

Interim Dividend
As per Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013, Board of Directors of a company may declare
dividend including interim dividend during any financial year out of surplus in the profits and loss
account and out of profits of the financial year in which such interim dividend is sought to be declared.
-8-

However in case the company has incurred any loss during the current financial year upto the end of
the quarter immediately preceding the date of declaration of interim dividend, such interim dividend
shall not be declared at a rate higher than the average dividends declared by the company during the
immediately preceding three financial years.

Illustration 1
Due to inadequacy of profits during the year ended 31st March, 2020, XYZ Ltd. proposes to declare
10% dividend out of general reserves. From the following particulars, ascertain the amount that can
be utilised from general reserves, according to the Companies (Declaration of dividend out of
Reserves) Rules, 2014:

17,500 9% Preference shares of ₹100 each, fully paid up 17,50,000
8,00,000 Equity shares of ₹10 each, fully paid up 80,00,000
General Reserves as on 1.4.2019 25,00,000
Capital Reserves as on 1.4.2019 3,00,000
Revaluation Reserves as on 1.4.2019 3,50,000
st
Net profit for the year ended 31 March, 2020 3,00,000
Average rate of dividend during the last three years has been 12%.

Solution:

Amount that can be drawn from reserves for 10%


Dividend
10% dividend on ₹80,00,000 ₹ 8,00,000
Profits available
Current year profit 3,00,000
Less: Preference dividend (1,57,500)
(1,42,500
Amount which can be utilised from reserves 6,57,500
Conditions as per Companies (Declaration of dividend out of Reserves) Rules, 2011:
Condition I
Since 10% is lower than the average rate of dividend (12%), 10% dividend can be declared.
Condition II
Maximum amount that can be drawn from the accumulated profits and reserves should not exceed
10% of paid up capital plus free reserves i.e. ₹ 12,25,000 [10% of (80,00,000 + 17,50,000 +
25,00,000)]
Condition III
The balance of reserves after drawl ₹18,42,500 (₹25,00,000 - ₹6,57,500) should not fall below 15 %
of its paid up capital i.e. ₹14,62,500 (15% of ₹97,50,000]
Since all the three conditions are satisfied, the company can withdraw ₹6,57,500 from accumulated
reserves (as per Declaration and Payment of Dividend Rules, 2014.)

EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
NOV-2019 (OLD COURSE)
Question.7.(e) (4 Marks)
XYZ Ltd. proposes to declare 10% dividend out of General Reserves due to inadequacy of profits in
the year ending 31-03-2020. From the following particulars ascertain the amount that can be utilize
from general reserves, according to the Companies Rules, 2014:

8,00,000 Equity Shares of ₹ 10 each fully paid up 80,00,000


General Reserves 25,00,000
Revaluation Reserves 6,50,000
Net profit for the year 1,42,500
Average rate of dividend during the last five years has been 12%.

Solution:
In the given case, paid up equity share capital is ₹80,00,000 and rate of dividend is 10% i.e. amount
of dividend is ₹8,00,000 (since average rate is 12% hence dividend @ 10% is allowed)
Current profits are ₹1,42,500 hence amount to be withdrawn from general reserve shall be ₹8,00,000-
₹1,42,500 = ₹6,57,500.

AS PER COMPANIES (DECLARATION AND PAYMENTS OF DIVIDEND) RULES 2014, Maximum


amount which can be withdrawn shall be 10% of (₹80,00,000+₹25,00,000) i.e. ₹10,50,000. Further
balance amount in general reserve should not be less than 15% of ₹80,00,000 i.e. ₹12,00,000.
In the given case, if withdrawn amount is ₹6,57,500, it is not exceeding ₹10,50,000 also balance
amount left in general reserve is not less than ₹12,00,000.

RIGHT ISSUE
Rights issue is an issue of rights to a company's existing shareholders that entitles them to buy
additional shares directly from the company in proportion to their existing holdings, within a fixed time
period. In a rights offering, the subscription price at which each share may be purchased is generally
at a discount to the current market price to evoke positive response as well as to reward the existing
shareholders. Rights are often transferable, allowing the holder to sell them in the open market.
The difference between the cum-right and ex-right value of the share is the value of the right.

Need of Right Issue :


Any company, public or private, desirous of raising funds may issue further shares. However in such a
case, the voting rights of the existing shareholders may be diluted, if they are issued to public in
general. Therefore in order to protect the interest of the existing shareholders, Companies Act, 2013
allows existing shareholders to preserve their position by offering those newly issued shares to them
at the first instance. However, if they do not desire to subscribe these shares, they may renounce it in
favour of someone else (unless the articles of the company prohibits such a right to renounce).
Such right is given in proportion to their existing holding for shares.
E.g. Company has existing issued and subscribed share capital of 1,00,000 shares. Now it wishes to
issue 10,000 new shares. In such a case, such shares shall be first offered to existing shareholders
proportionately i.e. 1 share for every 10 held.
If Mr. A has 1000 shares; he'll be offered to subscribe additional 100 shares.
If Mr. B has 2500 shares; he'll be offered to subscribe additional 250 shares.
Now Initial percentage holding of Mr. A (before Right issue) = 1000/1,00,000 = 1%
Percentage holding of Mr. A (after Right issue if he subscribes the shares) = 1100/1,10,000 = 1%
Initial percentage holding of Mr. B (before Right issue) = 2500/1,00,000 = 2.5%
Percentage holding of Mr. B (after Right issue if he subscribes the shares) = 2750/1,10,000 = 2.5%

Financial effects of a further issue


Further issue of shares will increase the amount of equity (net worth) as well as the liquid resources
(Bank). The amount of equity is the product of further number of shares issued multiplied by issue
price. Such shares are generally issued at a premium (Issue price is less than the market price).

As Per Section 2(57) of Companies Act 2013, “net worth” means the aggregate value of the paid-up
share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities premium account, after
deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred expenditure and miscellaneous
expenditure not written off, as per the audited balance sheet, but does not include reserves created
out of revaluation of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation.
- 50 -

Provisions relating to Right issue under Companies Act.,2013


62. Further issue of share capital. —
(1) Where at any time, a company having a share capital proposes to increase its subscribed capital
by the issue of further shares, such shares shall be offered—
(a) to persons who, at the date of the offer, are holders of equity shares of the company in proportion
to the paid-up share capital on those shares by sending a letter of offer subject to the following
conditions, namely:—
(ii) the offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered and limiting a time not
being less than fifteen days and not exceeding thirty days from the date of the offer within which
the offer, if not accepted, shall be deemed to have been declined;
(iii) unless the articles of the company otherwise provide, the offer aforesaid shall be deemed to
include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the shares offered to him or
any of them in favour of any other person;
(iv) after the expiry of the time specified in the notice aforesaid, or on receipt of earlier intimation
from the person to whom such notice is given that he declines to accept the shares offered, the
Board of Directors may dispose of them in such manner which is not dis-advantageous to the
shareholders and the company;
(b) to employees under a scheme of employees‘ stock option, subject to special resolution passed by
company and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed; or
(c) to any persons, if it is authorised by a special resolution, either for cash or for a consideration other
than cash.
(2) The notice referred to in sub-clause (i) of clause (a) of sub-section (1) shall be despatched
through registered post or speed post or through electronic mode to all the existing
shareholders at least three days before the opening of the issue.

ACCOUNTING FOR RIGHT ISSUE


The accounting treatment of rights share is the same as that of issue of ordinary shares and the
following journal entry will be made:
Journal entries:
Bank A/c Dr.
To Equity Share Capital A/c
To Securities Premium A/c (if shares are issued at premium)

Right of Renunciation
Right of renunciation refers to the right of the shareholder to surrender his right in favour of any other
person. The renunciation of the right is valuable and can be monetised by the existing shareholders in
well-functioning capital market. The monetised value available to the existing shareholders due to
right issue is known as ‘value of right’.
- 51 -

If a shareholder decides to renounce all or any of the right shares in favour of his nominee, the value
of right is restricted to the sale price of the renouncement of a right in favour of the nominee.
In case the right issue offer is availed by an existing shareholder, the value of right is determined as
given below:

Value of right = Cum-Right value of shares - Ex-right value of shares


Where Cum-Right value of shares is the market price of the share which exist before the right issue.
Market capitalization immediately + cash inflows generated
Ex-right value = before the right issue from right issue
Total shares issued after right issue

E.g. The company has 1,00,000 equity share with market value of ₹ 25 per share.
The company made the right issue of 10,000 shares at ₹14 per share.
Now Cum-right value of share = ₹ 25
(1, 00, 000  25 + 10, 000 14)
Ex-right value of share = = ₹ 24
1, 00, 000 + 10, 000
Value of Right = 25 – 24 = ₹1

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF RIGHT ISSUE


Advantages of right Issue
1. Right issue enables the existing shareholders to maintain their proportional holding in the
company and retain their financial and governance rights.
2. Right issue is a natural hedge against the issue expenses normally incurred by the company in
relation to public issue.
3. Right issue has an image enhancement effect, as public and shareholders view it positively.
4. The chance of success of a right issue is better than that of a general public issue and is logically
much easier to handle.

Disadvantages of right issue


1. The right issue invariably leads to dilution in the market value of the share of the company.
2. The attractive price of the right issue should be objectively assessed against its true worth to
ensure that you get a bargained deal.
- 52 -

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS


1. In case of further issue of shares, the right to renounce the shares in favour of a third party
(a) Must include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the shares;
(b) Should include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the shares;
(c) Is deemed to include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the

Market price is ₹40, while recording the issue of right share, the securities premium will be
credited with
(a) ₹10
(b) ₹20
(c) ₹30

3. A. Right shares enable existing shareholders to maintain their proportional holding in the
company.
B. Right share issue does not cause dilution in the market value of the share.
Which of the option is correct:
(a) A-Correct; B Correct
(b) A – Incorrect; B Correct
(c) A Correct; B – Incorrect

Answers :
1. (c) 2. (b) 3. (c)

Question 1: Explain the financial effects of a further issue of equity shares on the market value of
the share.
Answer : The financial position of a business is contained in the balance sheet. Further issue of
shares increase the amount of share capital as well as the liquid resources (Bank ). The amount of
share capital issued is the product of further number of shares issued multiplied by issue price.
The issue price may be higher than the face value (issue at a premium).

Question 2: What are the advantages and disadvantages of a rights issue?


- 53 -

PRACTICE PROBLEMS
Problem 1
A company has decided to increase its existing share capital by making rights issue to its existing
shareholders. The company is offering one new share for every two shares held by the
shareholder. The market value of the share is ₹ 240 and the company is offering one share of ₹120
each. Calculate the value of a right. What should be the ex-right market price of a share?
Solution 1:
Ex-right value of the shares =
(Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights shares × Issue Price) / (Existing Number of shares
+ Rights Number of shares)
= (₹240 × 2 Shares + ₹120 × 1 Share) / (2 + 1) Shares
= ₹600 / 3 shares = ₹200 per share.

Value of right = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share
= ₹ 240 – ₹ 200 = ₹ 40 per share.

Hence, any one desirous of having a confirmed allotment of one share from the company at ₹120
will have to pay ₹80 (2 shares x ₹40) to an existing shareholder holding 2 shares and willing to
renounce his right of buying one share in favour of that person.

Problem 2: RTP Nov-2019 (Old Course)


Omega company offers new shares of ₹ 100 each at 20% premium to existing shareholders on the
basis of one for four shares. The cum-right market price of a share is ₹ 190.
You are required to calculate the Value of a right share.
Solution 2:
Value of right share = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share (as computed in
Working Note) = ₹ 190 – ₹ 176 = ₹ 14 per share.

Working Note:
Ex-right value of the shares
= (Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights shares x Issue Price) / (Existing No. of shares +
No. of right shares) =
(₹ 190 X 4 Shares + ₹ 120 X 1 Share) / (4 + 1) Shares
= ₹ 880 / 5 shares = ₹ 176 per share.

Q.3.
The partners of Maitri Agencies decided to convert the partnership into a private limited company
called MA (P) Ltd. with effect from 1st January, 2012. The consideration was agreed at ₹1,17,00,000
based on the firm’s Balance Sheet as at 31st December, 2011.
- 56 -

However, due to some procedural difficulties, the company could be incorporated only on 1st April,
2012. Meanwhile the business was continued on behalf of the company and the consideration was
settled on that day with interest at 12% per annum. The same books of account were continued by the
company which closed its account for the first time on 31st March, 2013 and prepared the following
summarised profit and loss account.


Sales 2,34,00,000
Less: Cost of goods sold 1,63,80,000
Salaries 11,70,000
Depreciation 1,80,000
Advertisement 7,02,000

Miscellaneous office expenses 1,20,000
Office-cum-show room rent 7,20,000
Interest 9,51,000 2,14,83,000
Profit 19,17,000

The company’s only borrowing was a loan of ₹50,00,000 at 12% p.a. to pay the purchase
consideration due to the firm and for working capital requirements.

The company was able to double the average monthly sales of the firm, from 1st April, 2012 but the
salaries tripled from that date. It had to occupy additional space from 1st July, 2012 for which rent was
₹30,000 per month.

Time ratio is 1: 2.

2. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 6 months (i.e. from 1.4.2011 to 30.09. 2011) be x
Then, sales for 6 months = 6x
Monthly sales for next 6 months (i.e. from 1.10.11 to 31.3.2012) = x + 2/3x = 5/3x
Then, sales for next 6 months = × 6 = 10x
Total sales for the year = 6x + 10x = 16x
Monthly sales in the pre incorporation period = ₹19,20,000/16 = ₹1,20,000

Total sales for pre-incorporation period = ₹1,20,000 x 4 = ₹4,80,000

Working Notes:
(i) Calculation of Sales ratio
Let average monthly sales be x.
Thus Sales from January to April are 4½ x (i.e., 1.5x + x + x + x) and sales from May to December
are 9½ x (x + x + x + x + x + 1.5x + x + 2x).
Sales are in the ratio of 9/2x: 19/2x or 9: 19.
Calculation of Time Ratio
Pre-incorporation period = 1.1.2011 to 30.4.2011 = 4 months Post-incorporation period = 1.5.2011
to 31.12.2011 = 8 months, Time ratio = 1:2
(ii) Gross profit, carriage outwards, sales commission and bad debts written off (after adjustment for
bad debt recovery) have been allocated in pre and post incorporation periods in the ratio of Sales
i.e. 9:19.
(iii) Rent, salaries (subject to increase in manager’s salary), printing and stationery are allocated
on time basis.
(iv) Interest on debentures, underwriting commission and preliminary expenses are allocated in
post incorporation period.
(v) Interest on investments, loss on sale of investments and bad debt recovery are allocated in pre-
incorporation period.
- 65 -

Notes:
Let Pre-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary be x
Total pre-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary = 4x
Post-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary = x + 2,000
Total pre-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary = 8(x+2,000)
Total manager’s salary (pre and post) = ₹85,000
Thus, 4x + 8(x+2,000) = 85,000 x = 5,750
Total pre-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary = 4 x 5,750 = ₹23,000
Total pre-incorporation period manager’s monthly salary = 8(5,750 + 2,000) =₹62000

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of Sales Ratio
Let the average sales per month be x. Total sales from 01.04.2012 to 30.06.2012 will be 3x
Average sales per month from 01.07.2012 to 31.03.2013 will be 2x
Total sales from 01.07.2012 to 31.03.2013 will be 2x X 9 =18x
Ratio of Sales will be 3x: 18x i.e. 3:18 or 1:6
2. Calculation of time Ratio: 3 Months: 9 Months i.e. 1:3
3. Apportionment of Salary
Let the salary per month from 01.04.2012to 30.09.2012 is x
Salary per month from 01.10.2012 to 31.03.2013 will be 2x
Hence, pre incorporation salary (01.04.2012 to 30.06.2012) = 3x
Post incorporation salary from 01.07.20X2 to 31.03.2013 = (3x + 12x) i.e.15x

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 4 months (i.e. from 1.4.2011 to 31.7.2011)
be = x
Then, sales for 4 months = 4x
Monthly sales for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.X1 to 31.3.2012) = x + 25% of x= 1.25x
Then, sales for next 6 months = 1.25x X 8 = 10x Total sales for the year = 4x + 10x = 14x
Sales Ratio = 4 x: 10x i.e. 2:5

2. Gross profit ratio


From 1.4.2011 to 31.7.2011 gross profit is 25% of sales
Then, 25% of 4x= 1x
gross profit for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.X1 to 31.3.2012) is 30%
Then, 30% of 10x = 3x
Therefore gross profit ratio will be 1:3

3. Time ratio
1st April, 2011 to 31st July, 2011: 1st August, 2011 to 31st March, 2012
= 4 months: 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1:2.

Working Notes:
(1) Calculation of sales ratio
Let the average monthly sales of first four months = 100
Next six months = 200
Total sales of first four months = 100 x 4 = 400
Total sales of next six months = 200 x 6 = 1,200
Ratio of sales = 400: 1,200 = 1:3

(2) Rent
Till 31st December, 2017, rent was ₹ 6,000 p.a., i.e. ₹ 500 p.m.
So, pre-incorporation rent = ₹ 500 x 4 = ₹ 2,000
Post – incorporation rent = (₹ 500 x 3) + (8,000 x 3/12) = ₹ 3,500.

(3) Time ratio


Pre-incorporation period = 1st June , 2017 to 30th Sept, 2017 = 4 months
Post-incorporation = 1st October , 2017 to 31st March, 2018 = 6 months

REDEMPTION OF PREFERENCE SHARES


The Provisions relating to Issue and Redemption of Preference shares is governed by Section 55 of
the Companies Act, 2013:
(1) No company limited by shares shall issue any preference shares which are irredeemable.
(2) A company limited by shares may, if so authorised by its articles, issue preference shares which
are liable to be redeemed within a period not exceeding twenty years from the date of their issue
subject to such conditions as may be prescribed:

Provided that a company may issue preference shares for a period exceeding twenty years for
infrastructure projects, subject to the redemption of such percentage of shares as may be
prescribed on an annual basis at the option of such preferential shareholders:
Provided further that—
(a) no such shares shall be redeemed except out of the profits of the company which would
otherwise be available for dividend or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for
the purposes of such redemption;
(b) no such shares shall be redeemed unless they are fully paid;
(c) where such shares are proposed to be redeemed out of the profits of the company, there shall, out
of such profits, be transferred, a sum equal to the nominal amount of the shares to be redeemed,
to a reserve, to be called the Capital Redemption Reserve Account.
(d) (i) in case of such class of companies, as may be prescribed and whose financial statement
comply with the accounting standards prescribed for such class of companies under section 133,
the premium, if any, payable on redemption shall be provided for out of the profits of the company,
before the shares are redeemed:
(Previous company law provided the use of Securities premium account for this purpose; now not
allowed)
(4) The capital redemption reserve account may be applied by the company, in paying up unissued
shares of the company to be issued to members of the company as fully paid bonus shares.
(The board of studies of ICAI has solved all the questions on the basis that the companies referred in
the question are governed by Section 133. Accordingly, the balance in the securities premium account
has not been utilized for the purpose of premium payable on redemption of preference shares.)

The Board of Directors of a Company decide to issue minimum number of equity shares of ₹9 to
redeem ₹5,00,000 preference shares. The maximum amount of divisible profits available for
redemption is ₹3,00,000. Calculate the number of shares to be issued by the company to ensure that
provisions of Section 55 are not violated. Also determine the number of shares if the company
decides to issue shares in multiples of ₹50 only.

Solution
Nominal value of preference shares ₹ 5,00,000
Maximum possible redemption out of profits ₹ 3,00,000
Minimum proceeds of fresh issue ₹ 5,00,000 – 3,00,000 = ₹ 2,00,000
Proceed of one share = ₹9
Minimum number of shares
As fractional shares are not permitted, the minimum number of shares to be issued is 22,223 shares.
If shares are to be issued in multiples of 50, then the next higher figure which is a multiple of 50 is
22,250. Hence, minimum number of shares to be issued in such a case is 22,250 shares.
