Additional information:
1.
Suspense account represents the corresponding credit for cash received for a fully subscribed rights issue of equity shares made on 1 January 2025. The terms of the share issue were one new share for every five held and at a price of Sh.0.75 each. The market price of the company’s equity shares immediately before the issue was Sh.1.20 each.
2.
Non-current assets: Property had 12-year useful life on acquisition. To reflect a marked increase in property prices, Flex Ltd. decided to revalue it on 1 April 2024. The fair value of the property at that date was Sh.36 million. Flex Ltd. has not yet recorded the revaluation. The remaining useful life of the property is eight years at the date of revaluation. Flex Ltd. makes an annual transfer to retained earnings to reflect the realisation of the revaluation surplus. In Flex Ltd.’s tax jurisdiction, the revaluation does not give rise to a deferred tax liability.
3.
On 1 April 2024, Flex Ltd. acquired an item of plant under a lease agreement that had an implicit interest rate of 10% per annum. The lease payments in the trial balance represents an initial deposit of Sh.2 million paid on 1 April 2024 and the first annual rental of Sh.6 million paid on 31 March 2025. The lease agreement requires further annual payments of Sh.6 million on 31 March each year for the next four years. The plant was initially measured at Sh.25 million on 1 April 2024.

Plant and equipment (other than leased plant) is depreciated at a rate of 20% per annum using reducing balance method. No depreciation has yet been charged on non-current assets for year ended 31 March 2025. Depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
4.
In the month of March 2025, internal audit in Flex Ltd. discovered a fraud committed by the company’s credit controller who did not return from a sabbatical leave. The fraud revealed that Sh.4 million of the company’s receivables had been stolen by the credit controller and are not recoverable. Of this amount, Sh.1 million relates to the year ended 31 March 2024 and the remainder to the current year. This fraud was not insured.
5.
Flex Ltd. income tax calculation for the year ended 31 March 2025 shows a tax refund of Sh.2.4 million. The balance on current tax in the trial balance represents the under/over provision of the tax liability for the year ended 31 March 2024. As at 31 March 2025, Flex Ltd. had taxable temporary differences of Sh.12 million (requiring a deferred tax liability). The income tax rate of Flex Ltd. is 25%. 

Required:
(a). Prepare a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive incomes for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

(b) Prepare statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

(c) Prepare statement of financial position as at 31 March 2025.
