Preparation of Published Financial Statements
​​ Miaka Nenda Ltd.'s current year end is 30 June 2018. The company's financial statements were authorised for issue by its directors on 10 July 2018. 

 The following matters have been brought to your attention:

1
On 11 July 2018, a fire completely destroyed the company's largest warehouse and the inventory it contained. The carrying amounts of the warehouse and the inventory were Sh.80,000,000 and Sh.50,000,000 respectively. It appears that the company has not updated the value of its insurance cover and only expects to be able to recover a maximum of Sh.70,000,000 from its insurers. Miaka Nenda Ltd's trading operations have been severely disrupted since the fire and it expects significant trading losses for some time to come.
2
A single class of inventory held at another warehouse was valued at its cost of Sh.9,200,000 as at 30 June 2018. In July 2018, 70% of this inventory was sold for Sh.5,600,000 on which the company's staff earned a commission of 15% of the selling price.
3
On 10 August 2018, the government announced tax changes which had the effect of increasing the company's deferred tax liability by Sh.7,000,000 as at 30 June 2018.

Required: 
With reference to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10 "Events After the Balance Sheet Date", explain the required treatment of each of the above items in the financial statements of Miaka Nenda Ltd. for the year ended 30 June 2018.
