  2. Hi Evelyn,

    I just had a quick look at your annual report and I noticed that the note for provisions states that its for employee benefits? Check out page 28 note 11.

    You have two provisions, 1 as a current liability and the other as a non current but they both refer to employee benefits. The financial statements provides an explanation of what employee benefits are.

    How I interpret provisions for $2,693 is that it’s for a current liability of employee benefits. Which means your company owes its employees approx $2,693 for annual leave, long service leave and sick leave etc within the next 12 months.

    Was there another provisions? or was the lawsuit regarding employee benefits?
