Brachol plc is preparing its accounts for the year ended 30 November 1992.

The following information is available from the previous year's balance sheet: At 30 November 1991 there were credit balances on the share premium account of \(£ 2025000\), the revaluation reserve of \(£ 4050000\), and the profit and loss account of \(£ 2700000\).

During 1992 the following transactions occurred:

1. One million shares of \(£ 1\) each were issued in exchange for net assets that had a fair value of \(£ 3755000\).
2. A factory property that had been revalued from \(£ 500000\) to \(£ 1310000\) in 1990 was sold for \(£ 2525000\).
3. A fixed asset investment was revalued from \(£ 1305000\) to \(£ 900000\).
4. There was a currency translation loss of \(£ 270000\) arising on foreign currency net investments.
5. A warehouse property was revalued from \(£ 1000000\) to \(£ 1540000\).
A prior period adjustment of \(£ 1350000\) was required which had arisen from a change in accounting policy that had overstated the previous year's profit.
The profit and loss account for the year ended 30 November 1992 showed a profit attributable to members of the company of \(£ 810000\) and a dividend of \(£ 675000\).
