Prestige Limited has been sued for the following two alleged infringements of law:

(1) Unauthorized use of a brand; the claim is for GHS 50,000

(2) Non-payment of end-of-service severance pay and gratuity to 7 employees whose appointments were terminated without Prestige giving any reason; the class action lawsuit is claiming GHS 150,000.

Legal counsel of the bank is of the opinion that not all the legal cases are tenable in law and has communicated to Prestige. This assessment of the two lawsuits are:

Lawsuit 1: The chances of this lawsuit are remote.

Lawsuit 2: It is probable that Prestige would have to pay the displaced employees, but the best estimate of the amount that would be payable if the plaintiff succeeds against the entity is GHS 100,000.

ii) Provide for depreciation at the following rates: Land and buildings 5% on cost. Equipment and furniture 20% on cost. Computers 20% on cost. Motor vehicles 20% on cost.

iii) Provide for Audit fees of GHS180,000.

iv) The bank has advanced GHS2,553,000 loan to a customer. The customer is currently

suffering from Corona virus and it has been established by the doctors that it is virtually

certain the customer will die.

v) In compliance with the Banking Act 12.5% of profit after tax is to be transferred to

statutory reserve.

vi) Interim tax for 2019 based on self-assessment was settled at GHS540,000. Corporate

tax applicable to the bank is 25%.

vii) The investment property was acquired in February, 2019. The directors have adopted

fair valuation model of accounting for investment properties in line with IAS 40. At

31st December, 2019, it was fair valued at GHS4,000,000.

viii) On 31st December, the Directors of the bank further declared dividend of GHS2 per
