REVIEW NOTES:
1. Contributed Capital – This is the portion of shareholders’ equity coming from the investment made by the
shareholders. The value of consideration invested by the shareholder is sub-divided into:
a. Share Capital – the value invested equal to the par value of shares given-up.
b. Share Premium – the excess of the value of consideration invested over the par value of shares given-
up. Share premium is the “unrecognized gain” from transaction with shareholders, the gain earned from
selling shares.
2. Earned Capital – This is the portion of shareholders’ equity coming from the cumulative earnings of the entity
less any distribution of the earnings to the shareholders. Earned capital is divided into:
a. Retained Earnings – Earnings recognized in the statement of profit or loss and available for distribution
to shareholders.
b. Other Comprehensive Income – Earnings recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income
but not available for distribution to shareholders since the said income are not yet realized.

ISSUANCE OF SHARES:
Shares are issued once sold to shareholders and the full consideration are received. On the first issuance of
shares, it is not allowed to sold the shares below the par value. There are three (3) steps to account for this
transaction:
1. Measure the value to the consideration received – Shares can be sold in exchange for the following:
2. Account for the gain – Gain arises if the consideration received is higher than the initial value (par value) of
shares sold. It is not allowed to recognize gain from transaction to shareholders, thus, the gain is recognize
as Share Premium instead of an income. If the share premium arose from original issuance, it is labelled
“Excess over par”.
Consideration received P XX
Less: Par value of shares issued ( XX)
Share premium – excess over par P XX
3. Account for the share issue cost – Share issue cost can be classified as:
a. Direct share issue cost – Are accounted as a deduction to share premium from the transaction the share
issue cost is incurred.
If there are no share premium, it can either be expensed, deducted to retained earnings or treated as
contra-equity account. This gray area are not commonly encountered in the problem.
4. Lump Sum Issuance – The company may issue two class of shares (group of shares) for a consideration of
one, it can also issue shares together with other instrument like bonds. The consideration received is allocated
to the different instrument issued using the following allocation methods:
a. Relative fair value method – all the fair value of shares (or securities) issued are available. Allocation:
b. Residual value method – fair value of one class of share is not available. The consideration received
allocated to the shares with available fair value will its fair value, the residual of the consideration received
will be allocated to the shares without fair value.

c. Relative par value method – no fair value available for all the shares issued. Allocation:
SUBSCRIPTION OF SHARES:
Corporation code do not allow issuance of share unless the full consideration is received. If an investor is intended
to buy (invest) shares but do not have the capacity (money) yet to do so, the investor may “reserve” certain number
of shares that the investor intended to buy. The said reserved shares are being subscribed. The company may
ask for a down payment to ensure the purchase will push through.
b. Subscription receivable – The unpaid balance of the subscription price. If collectible beyond 12 months,
subscription receivable is a contra-equity account. If collectible within 12 months, subscription receivable is
a current asset. In absence of the collection period, it is classified as contra-equity.

AUTHORIZATION OF SHARES:
The company may choose to account this transaction using the following method:
a. Journal entry method – Under this method, a journal entry is required to set-up a principal account (Authorized
share capital) and a contra-equity account (Unissued share capital) will be used.
• Authorized share capital – is equal to the par value of shares authorized to be issued. This account
will not change unless the number of authorized shares will change.
• Unissued share capital – is equal to the par value of shares unissued. This account will decrease every
time the company issue shares, in effect the carrying amount of equity will increase.

b. Memo entry method – This method will not require a journal entry on authorization. No contra-equity account
is set up. The account “share capital” will increase every time there is an issuance of shares.

REACQUISITION OF SHARES:
Common reason for reacquisition:
1. Minimize the cost of capital (dividends)
2. Increase earnings per share
3. Prevent unfriendly take-over of the company
REISSUANCE OF SHARES:
The term “reissue” pertains to treasury shares sold. There are two main issue in accounting for this transaction:
a. Valuation of treasury sold – If a company reacquire a treasury shares with the same acquisition cost there is
no accounting issue since all the cost of each treasury shares are the same. But if there are multiple
acquisition during the year and the cost of each treasury shares are not the same, the problem will arise in
determining the unit cost of treasury shares sold. For board exam purposes, cost flow method may be used
by the company:
• Specific identification – The problem will state the unit cost of treasury shares sold
• FIFO – The unit cost of treasury shares first sold is the equal to the unit cost of the earliest
purchased treasury shares.
• Average method – The unit of treasury shares sold is equal to the average unit cost computed by
dividing the total peso amount of treasury shares available for sale by total number of units of
treasury shares available for sale.
b. Gains and losses on reissuance – A gain will arise if the selling price exceeds the cost of treasury shares sold.
While loss arises when the selling price is below the cost of treasury shares sold.
Selling price P XX
Less: Cost of treasury shares ( XX)
Gain (loss) P XX

RETIREMENT OF SHARES:
Retirement of shares reacquires cancellation of the share certificate so it can no longer reissued.
a. Advantage of retirement - When the company have treasury shares, appropriation of retained earnings is
required. If the treasury shares were retired, TS will die and appropriation of retained earnings will no longer
necessary
b. Disadvantage of retirement - The company can avoid share issuance cost if the treasury shares were reissued
rather than retired and issue from unissued shares.
a. Derecognition of share capital account – share capital is derecognized equal to the par value of shares
retired.
b. Derecognition of share premium, excess allocated to the shares retired – the share premium, excess over
par arise from the original issuance should be retired computed as follows:
c. Derecognize the treasury shares – equal to the cost of treasury shares retired.
d. Gains or loss on retirement – A gain will arise if the original issue price of TS exceeds the cost of treasury
shares retired. While loss arises when the original issue price is below the cost of treasury shares retired.
a. Record the retirement of Preference shares returned – This includes the derecognition of share capital and
derecognition of share premium – excess over par.
b. Record the issuance of Ordinary shares – The share capital – ordinary is recorded equal to the par value of
ordinary shares issued in exchange of Preference shares returned.
Page 5 of 12
c. Gain or loss on conversion – A gain will arise if the original issue price of Preference shares returned exceeds
the par value of Ordinary shares issued. While loss arises when the original issue price is below the par value
of Ordinary shares issued.

Add: Share premium, excess of Preference shares converted XX

DONATION:
The consideration received from donation is measured at:
1. Cash – face amount
2. Noncash asset – fair value
3. Entity’s own share (treasury shares) – zero
Corresponding credit:
• Donation from shareholders – “Share premium – donated capital” since it is not allowed to recognize
income
• Donation from non-shareholder – “Other income”
Page 6 of 12
It is assumed that the shareholder sold the share to another party and the cash proceeds from such sale is
donated to the company. Thus, share premium is labeled “donated capital” instead “treasury shares”.
Remember that SP – treasury share will absorb losses while SP – donated capital don’t.
