IT Global Limited (“Global”), a divisional company that prepares its financial statements to 31 December each year, is involved in the assembly of bespoke PC systems for home use

(Assembly division), together with the retailing of computer hardware, software and related accessories (Retail division). Due to the deteriorating performance of the Assembly division as a result of strong price competition and changes in customer buying patterns, the directors of Global decided to significantly change the nature of the company’s business focus.

Consequently, the directors approved the closure of the Assembly division, despite it typically generating approximately 25% of the company’s revenue. Although details of the closure plan were announced publicly on 1 November 2017, including the cessation of advertising and promotion and the notification of suppliers, the Assembly division did not formally close until 31 March 2018.
