The authorized share capital is 200,000 ordinary shares of £1 each and 100,000 5% cumulative preference shares of £1 each.
During a meeting of shares and directors, it was decided to carry out a scheme of internal reconstruction. The following scheme has been agreed.
Each ordinary share is to be redesignated as a share of 25p.
The existing 70,000 preference shares are to be exchanged for a new issue of 35,000 8% cumulative preference shares of £1 each and 140,000 ordinary shares of 25p each.
The ordinary shareholders are to accept a reduction in the nominal value of their shares from £1 to 25p, and subscribe for a new issue on the basis for 1 for 1 at a price of 30p per share.
The debenture holders are to accept 20,000 ordinary shares of 25p each in lieu of the interest payable. The interest rates is to be increased to 9½ %. A further £9,000 of this 9½% debenture is to be issued and taken up by the existing holders at £90 per £100.
£6,000 of directors loan is to be canceled. The balance is to be settled by issue of 10,000 ordinary shares of 25p each.
Goodwill and the profit and loss account balance are to written off.
The investment in shares is to sold at the current market price of £60,000.
The bank overdraft is to be repaid.
£46,000 is to be paid to trade creditors now and the balance at quarterly intervals.
10% of the debtors are to be written off.
The remaining assets were professionally valued and should be included in the books and accounts as follows:
Land £90,000
Building 80,000
Equipment 10,000
Stock and work in progress 50,000
It is expected, that due to changed conditions and new management, operating profits will be earned at the rate of £50,000 pa after depreciation but before interest and tax. Due to losses brought forward and capital allowances it is unlikely that any tax liability will arise until 2007.
