The employee was given the flu vaccination as part of the company's new free flu vaccination initiative.

As the company's flu vaccination program is voluntary (staff are not required to have the vaccination) and all staff are required to sign a permission form that explains the potential risks associated with the vaccination, legal advice has indicated that there is only a 25% chance that the company will be liable for any payment. The case is expected to be decided in court in December 2021. The assistant accountant has included this provision to ensure that the company's liabilities are not understated. At the beginning of the period (1 July 2019) the balance of the legal provision was $350.000. This related to a claim against the company for alleged underpayment to a supplier in 2018.

An interim dividend, of 6c per share was declared and paid on 10 January 2020 from the general reserve. Unless otherwise indicated the following events/transactions are not reflected in the trial balance above. You will need to make appropriate adjustments if required. A review by the chief accountant on 3 July 2020 revealed that as at 30 June 2020 there were accrued expenses of $478,000 (these related to amounts owed for utilities, rates and maintenance) that had not been accounted for at all in the trial balance. Directors declared a final dividend (from retained earnings) on 30 June 2020 of 17 cents per share. This requires no further approval and/or authorisation and is expected to be paid in mid-August 2020. On 14 August 2020 the Directors announced that a sponsorship contract had been signed with the Team Australia cricket team. This will mean that the company's logo will appear on all of the cricketers' uniforms and other equipment. This is expected to increase the awareness of the company's brands and services/products in the market and result in significant increases in revenues. The sponsorship contract will cost $10,000,000 over 4 years. On 20 September 2020 the company signed a contract to sell an item of land. The council of the area where the company owned one item of land advised of new zoning requirements. Previously the land was zoned for commercial use only.

In September 2020 the Directors have been offered $3,000,000 for this property by Develo Corp Ltd and have signed a contract to sell the land to Develo Corp Ltd for that amount.
