During your subsequent events review, you noticed the following independent and material items.

(c) On 16 August, TNL made offers to acquire three popular but struggling boutique (micro) breweries, Tiny Creatures, Jacaranda Time, and WattleYou Drink, to grow their market share in this segment and diversify from their current mass market.
