OVS is a car dealership and prepares its financial statements to 30 June. In the year to 30 June 2011, it held a number of vehicles at a number of different sites. The vehicles were supplied by GH, a car manufacturer, which is OVS’s main supplier. Under the trading terms agreed with GH, OVS is entitled to hold up to a maximum of 1,000 vehicles although legal title remains with GH until the vehicle is sold to a third party. OVS is able to use the cars for demonstration purposes and can relocate the vehicles between sites, provided the mileage on any individual vehicle does not exceed 1,500 miles. Breach of this mileage limit would result in OVS incurring a penalty. OVS has the right to return vehicles at any time within six months of delivery, with no charge. OVS is responsible for insuring all the vehicles on its premises.

Question Seven LKJ has expanded during the last year and from 1 October 2010 has been supplying a new range of products, some of which are simply cheaper versions of existing products and some of which are completely new. This has resulted in LKJ increasing its market share and creating a more mixed customer base. The directors have been looking at ways that fixed overheads can be cut and following a review last year, outsourced its payroll requirements, which led to a significant drop in administrative expenses. In the past, LKJ has been known as a cash-rich business and a regular payer of dividends. However a recent cash shortage meant that a cash dividend was not possible in the year ended 30 April 2011. Therefore, in lieu of paying a dividend, LKJ made a 1 for 2 bonus issue on 1 January 2011. The financial statements of LKJ are provided below:
