Question

Chocolate Delights is a growing 'Dessert Shop' operating in New Zealand. They

specialise in producing chocolate desserts for the local communities in Palmerston

North. Paul Henderson, the owner, has operated the shop from his personal name as

a sole trader for many years.

In the past, Paul had inherited patented recipes for desserts. This patent stops

anyone from producing the exact same dessert, which increases the amount of

goodwill for the business.

He was halfway through the 2022 financial year and was nearing the GST turnover

threshold. Before he registered for GST, his accountant suggested creating a new

company that would shift his GST and other liability obligations from his personal

debt to a company debt.

On the 1. September 2021, based on the accountants advice, Paul decided to create

a company called Chocolate Delights Ltd. The company is currently registered for six

(6) monthly GST filing on a Payments Basis, and files financial statements on the 31

March. The company's IRD number is 111-111-111.

Events during Summer

Paul had employed a barista to offer warm and cold beverages during the summer

seasons. He was anxious about the idea as he marketed the business on just

desserts. After doing some market research, he found that beverages could be a

great side income to compliment the deserts.

At the end of the first season, sales doubled compared to before. Paul was so

impressed with the results that he wanted to establish new operation later in the

year with a similar business model.

Events during June 2022

In the three (3) months following March, Chocolate Delights Ltd encountered

significant growth in the warm and cold beverage market. Paul has already hired two

additional baristas to help with demand, while the other crew continues creating

desserts. His assumption was correct as people were buying both beverages and

desserts.

Due to the growth, Paul decided to expand operations into Lower Hutt on the 1st of

May. Paul managed to sub-lease a big restaurant and moved there temporary to

build up operations. Paul plans to use a similar business model, and this business

will have access to the same patented recipes.

The Issue

operations for his new shop. However, the local banks in the Greater Wellington

Region have requested to see last year's Special Purpose Financial Reports with an

inclusion of a Statement of Cash Flows. Your job will be to prepare these financial

statements for Chocolate Delights Ltd as of 31 Marc

After providing warm and cold refreshments to customers, Paul had a

disagreement with a local barista across the road. They are currently suing

for damages for the loss of goodwill of $50,000. The lawyer stated that

information. A provision is required for 50% of the damages.

Related Parties

Apart from the Current Account, Paul indicated a few related party transactions he

would like to be fully disclosed in the notes for the financial statements: (Note: these

have already been accounted for in the trial balance)

1. Paul reimbursed the company the cost price totalling $500.00 excluding

GST for treats used personally

2. Paul has exclusive deals from a local store, and they weren't very

impressed with the new company formation. So instead, he was

reimbursed by the company for purchases of $20,000.00 excluding GST of

supplies under his personal name.
