ABC Ltd, an engineering company, makes up its financial statements to 31 March in each year. The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010 showed revenue of $30 million and profit of $4 million. Before the authorization of financial statements for issue by the board of directors on 30 June 2009, the following events took place:

Q1. The financial statements of DEF Ltd for the year ended 28 February 2010 were received, which indicated a significant deterioration in the companyâ??s financial position. ABC Ltd bought shares in DEF Ltd some years ago and this purchase was included in unlisted investments at its cost of $1 million. The financial statements received indicated that this investment was now worth only $500,000.

Q2. There was a fire at the companyâ??s warehouse on 30April 2010 when all of the companyâ??s inventories to the value of $5 million were destroyed. The investors in the warehouse were under-insured by 50%.

Q3. On 31 March 2010 a provision was made of $600,000 in respect of any remedial work required on plant supplied and installed at a customerâ??s premises on 26 March 2010. No remedial work had been carried out. On 1 May 2010 the customer confirmed acceptance of the plant, accordingly no further liability would be involved.

Q4. It was announced on 1 June 2010 that companyâ??s design for tank cleaning equipment had been approved by the major oil companies and this could result in an increase in the annual revenue of some $10 million with a relative effect on profit.
