    Yes. The SOCIE shows the movements on all of the reserves.

    Proposed dividends are not shown anywhere because they are only proposed and are not definite. (They only become ‘certain’ when shareholders have voted on them – while they are just proposed they do not appear anywhere in the statements)

    Transfers between reserves do not need to be approved – correct 🙂
