BALANCE SHEET AND AUDIT 17Q
(vii)
If any of the liabilities of the company consist of
indebtedness to a subsidiary company, show as a
separate item the aggregate amount of such indebted-
ness (s. 125).
The accounts submitted to the meeting must also
1) If interest has in any year been paid out of capital
under s. 54, show the share capital on which and the
rate at which interest has been so paid [s. 54 (1) (g)].
Contain particulars of any loans made either by the
company or any other person under a guarantee from

any remuneration paid to any other director, not as
director, but in respect of some other salaried office
or employment in the company held by him [s. 128 (1)
'c) and (3)].

As to the meaning of remuneration see s. 128 (5). Where
the Act requires information to be included in the accounts
submitted to the annual meeting, but doesnot expressly provide
that it shall be given in the balance sheet, the question arises
whether it must be included in the accounts circulated among
the members pursuant to s. 130. It has been suggested that
it is sufficient if the information is included in the full accounts
to be laid before the meeting; but it is thqught that is not
enough, at any rate so far as the information refers to items
included in the balance sheet; for the information (see s. 128),
has to be included in the accounts ‘to be laid before every
