24 August 2009 Sir,while computing networth of a Company, can we add unsecured loans from directors in the formula Share Capital + Reserves and surplus - miscellaneous expenditure? In this case, directors themselves are the shareholders.

No, you can't add unsecured loans from Directors (or any other shareholder) in calculating Networth through formula Share Capital+Reserves & Surplus-Misc. Expenditure.

The reason being that the Company has to repay the loan to the Directors even though they are shareholders. Hence, it is a liability.

Hope this assists you.
