( i) he ceases to be a partner and an equal amount is transferred to another such account by his former partners or any person replacing him as their partner; or |
||||
(ii) the partnership is otherwise dissolved or wound up; and |
||||
(2) |
current accounts according to the most recent financial statement. |

|||
3. |
Reserves (Note 1) |
These are, subject to Note 1, the audited accumulated profits retained by the firm (after deduction of tax, dividends and proprietors' or partners' drawings) and other reserves created by appropriations of share premiums and similar realised appropriations. Reserves also include gifts of capital, for example, from a parent undertaking. |

|||
4. |
Interim net profits (Note 1) |

||
5. |
Revaluation reserves |
|||

3 |
Intangible assets (Note 2) |
4 |
Interim net losses (Note 3) |
5 |
Excess of drawings over profits for a sole trader or a partnership (Note 3) |
Notes |
1. Investments in subsidiaries are the full balance sheet value. 2. Intangible assets are the full balance sheet value of goodwill, capitalised development costs, brand names, trademarks and similar rights and licences. 3. The interim net losses in row 4, and the excess of drawings in row 5, are in relation to the period following the date as at which the capital resources are being computed. |
IPRU-INV 12.3.5R can be illustrated as follows:
Share Capital |
£20,000 |
Reserves |
£30,000 |
Subordinated loans/debts |
£10,000 |
Intangible Assets |
£10,000 |
As subordinated loans/debts (£10,000) are less than the total of share capital + reserves – intangible assets (£40,000) the firm need not exclude any of its subordinated loans/debts pursuant to IPRU-INV 12.3.5R. Therefore, total financial resources1 will be £50,000. |
|
Share Capital |
£20,000 |
Reserves |
£30,000 |
Subordinated loans/debts |
£60,000 |
Intangible Assets |
£10,000 |
As subordinated loans/debts (£60,000) exceed the total of share capital + reserves – intangible assets (£40,000) by £20,000, the firm should exclude £20,000 of its subordinated loans/debts when calculating its financial resources1. Therefore, total financial resources1 will be £80,000. |

CONC 10.3.5 R can be illustrated by the examples set out below:
- (1)
Share Capital
£20,000
Reserves
£30,000
Subordinated loans/debts
£10,000
Intangible assets
£10,000
As subordinated loans/debts (£10,000) are less than the total of share capital + reserves - intangible assets (£40,000) the firm need not exclude any of its subordinated loans/debts pursuant to CONC 10.3.5 R. Therefore total prudential resources will be £50,000.
- (2)
Share Capital
£20,000
Reserves
£30,000
Subordinated loans/debts
£60,000
Intangible assets
£10,000
As subordinated loans/debts (£60,000) exceed the total of share capital + reserves - intangible assets (£40,000) by £20,000, the firm should exclude £20,000 of its subordinated loans/debts when calculating its prudential resources. Therefore total prudential resources will be £80,000.
