    Solution

    Revaluation reserves arise from revaluation of assets that are undervalued in the bank's books. Revaluation reserves at a discount of 55% when determining their value for inclusion in Tier II Capital i.e. only 45% of revaluation reserve should be taken for inclusion in Tier II Capital. Such reserves will have to be reflected on the face of the balance sheet as revaluation reserves.
