                            Other components of equity





               5.1  Introduction to other components of equity

               Other components of equity (i.e. other reserves) comprise the share premium
               account (considered earlier in this chapter) together with revaluation surplus
               (considered in a separate chapter) and retained earnings. These reserves are
               included in the statement of financial position and any movements during an
               accounting year are summarised and disclosed in the statement of changes in equity.
