Partial Reissue :
When all forfeited shares are not reissued then only profit made on such reissued shares is transferred to capital reserve. The amount
relating to that part of shares that are not reissued will remain in the shares forfeited account which will be transferred to the liability side of the Balance Sheet.
Illustration :
The Directors of a company forfeited 100 equity shares of Rs.10 each on which the first call of Rs.3 and final call of Rs.3 had not been
paid. Of these 40 shares were reissued upon payment of Rs.300. Journalise the transactions of forfeiture and reissue of shares.
