We calculate the UV and X-ray continuum spectrum and polarization from an accretion disc centrally illuminated by X-rays. The calculation of the ionization structure of the disc is performed by using the numerical code described by Ross & Fabian, while the inclination effects and the polarization are calculated by solving the transfer equation for polarized radiation. The general relativistic effects in the Schwarzschild metric are also taken into account. The spectra we obtain can explain the X-ray observation for some active galactic nuclei and several Galactic black hole candidates, for which both the iron-line intensity and the shape of the reflection continuum appear to be inconsistent with reprocessing from neutral matter
