hi shade 343, thank you for posting a reply on the reit question
posed by Mr Salman as i am pretty occupied with work today.
mr salman, as mentioned by Shade, your question is not slightly out
of point, in fact it is totally out of point.
regarding ur question on "declare an increase in reserves without
realising
it"
we are talking the returns of an entity here. and a returns is
computed based on historical information like the actual income
statement of that entity.
under the Financial reporting standards (if i rem correctly it is
FRS 39), an entity would have to report/include unrealised
income/loss from its assets in its financial statments. so an
entity would have to include both its realised and unrealised
income/expense in computing its return on investment
if you do not understand a subject (such as REIT as mentioned
earlier), it would be good to read up on it instead of making a
fool of urself here....
