What is non cumulative perference share?

non cumulative shares are those shares which do not get previouse dividends due to company's bad financial position. for example, if they were suppose to get dividend @10% last year, but could not get due to bad financial position of the company, and in the current year company gets stable and is willing to pay dividend, so it will pay only current year dividends and not last year dividends... if it was cumulative share company would pay last year and current year dividend.. conclusion: non cumulative share doesnot get previouse dividends and cumulative share gets all dividends (previouse+ current) when compnay restores its good financial position.
