(ii)

Based on past experience, a $200,000 provision for unforeseen liabilities arising after the year end

(iii)

The partial reversal (as a credit to the statement of profit or loss) of the accumulated depreciation provision on an item of plant because the estimate of its remaining useful life has been increased by three years

(iiii)

Providing $1 million for deferred tax at 25% relating to a $4 million revaluation of property during March 2015 even though Cumla has no intention of selling the property in the near future
