CONC 10.3.5 R can be illustrated by the examples set out below:
- (1)
Share Capital
£20,000
Reserves
£30,000
Subordinated loans/debts
£10,000
Intangible assets
£10,000
As subordinated loans/debts (£10,000) are less than the total of share capital + reserves - intangible assets (£40,000) the firm need not exclude any of its subordinated loans/debts pursuant to CONC 10.3.5 R. Therefore total prudential resources will be £50,000.
- (2)
Share Capital
£20,000
Reserves
£30,000
Subordinated loans/debts
£60,000
Intangible assets
£10,000
As subordinated loans/debts (£60,000) exceed the total of share capital + reserves - intangible assets (£40,000) by £20,000, the firm should exclude £20,000 of its subordinated loans/debts when calculating its prudential resources. Therefore total prudential resources will be £80,000.
[Note: Until 31 March 2017, transitional provisions apply to CONC 10.3.6 G: see CONC TP 5.3]
