Share premium account

The share premium account represents the difference between the fair value of consideration received and the nominal value of the shares issued.

Capital redemption reserve

The capital redemption reserve was created on the redemption of preference shares in 2003.

Reserve for own shares held

The shares are held as ‘treasury shares' and represent the cost to Morgan Sindall plc of shares purchased in the market and held by the Trust to satisfy options under the Group's share incentive schemes (note 24).

The number of shares held by the Trust at 31 December 2009 was 797,034 (2008: 840,864).

Cash flow hedging reserve

Under cash flow hedge accounting, movements on the effective portion of hedges are recognised through the hedging reserve, whilst any ineffectiveness is taken to the income statement.
