The following notes are relevant:

(i) Cavern has accounted for a fully subscribed rights issue of equity shares made on
1 April 2010 of one new share for every four in issue at 42 cents each. The
company paid ordinary dividends of 3 cents per share on 30 November 2009 and 5
cents per share on 31 May 2010. The dividend payments are included in
administrative expenses in the trial balance.
(ii) The 8% loan note was issued on 1 October 2008 at its nominal value of RM30
million. The loan note will be redeemed on 30 September 2012 at a premium
which gives the loan note an effective finance cost of 10% per annum.
(iii) Non-current assets:
Cavern revalues its land and building at the end of each accounting year. At 30
September 2010 the relevant value to be incorporated into the financial statement
is RM41.8 million. The building’s remaining life at the beginning of the current
year (1 October 2009) was 18 years. Cavern does not make an annual transfer
from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings in respect of the realisation of the
revaluation surplus. Ignore deferred tax on the revaluation surplus.
Plant and equipment includes an item of plant bought for RM10 million on 1
October 2009 that will have a 10 year life (using straight line depreciation with no
residual value). Production using this plant involves toxic chemicals which will
cause decontamination costs to be incurred at the end of its life. The present value
of these costs using a discount rate of 10% at 1 October 2009 was RM4 million.
Cavern has not provided any amount for this future decontamination cost. All
other plant and equipment is depreciated at 12.5% per annum using the reducing
balance method.
No depreciation has yet been charged on any non-current asset for the year ended
30 September 2010. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales
(iv) The available for sale investment held at 30 September 2010 had a fair value of
RM13.5 million. There were no acquisition or disposal of these investments
during the year ended 30 September 2010.
(v) The income tax expense for the year is RM6.250 million, out of which RM5.6
million is payable within one year and a deferred tax account has been created
with credit balance of RM3.750 million.
