FORM NO. 105 (See rule 267) Instructions regarding the preparation of the statement of account The following general instructions shall be observed in preparing the statements of account to be filed by a liquidator in a voluntary winding up under section 430. 1. The statement should be a detailed account of all the liquidator's realisations and disbursements in respect of the company. Under realisations should he entered all receipts derived from assets existing at the commencement of the winding up and subsequently realised, including balance in Bank, Book Debts and Calls collected, Property 'sold, etc., and under disbursements, should be entered all payments for costs and charges, or to, creditors and contributories. Where property has been realised, the gross proceeds of sale must be entered under realisations, and the necessary payments incidental to sales must be entered as disbursements. The statement should riot contain payments into or out of the Bank (which should be drown by the Bank pass book), nor the temporary investments by the Liquidator or the proceeds of such investments when realised, which should be shown separately, by a separate detailed statement of moneys invested by the liquidator and the investments realised. Profit allowed or charged by the Bank, bank commission, etc., and profit or loss upon the realisation of temporary investments should, however, be inserted in the accounts of
realisations or disbursements, as the case may be. Each receipt and payment must be entered in the account in such a manner as sufficiently to explain its nature. The receipts and payments must severally be added up at the foot of each sheet, and the totals carried forward, from one account to another without any intermediate balance, so that the gross total shall represent the total amounts received and paid by the Liquidator respectively. 2. Where the Liquidator carries on a business, a trading Account must be furnished as a distinct account, and only the totals of receipts and payments on the Trading Account must be brought into the statement. 3. When dividends or instalments of commission are paid to creditors, or a return of surplus assets is made to contributories, the total amount of each dividend, or instalment of composition, or return to contributories, actually paid must be entered in the statement of disbursements as one sum ; and the Liquidator must furnish separate accounts showing in lists the amount of the claim of each creditor and the amount of dividend or composition payable to each creditor, and of surplus assets payable to each contributory, distinguishing in each list the dividends and instalments of composition and shares of' surplus assets actually paid and those remaining unpaid. 4. When unclaimed dividends, instalments of composition or return of surplus assets arc paid into the Companies Liquidation Account the total amount so paid should be entered in the statement of disbursements as one sum.
