I think the answer should be it is it is affecting the going concern concept so that we should disclosed in this in this in the board directors report and it should be adjusted in the financial year 2008 -9

Two ways to do this:-

Non adjusting event: disclose nature of accident; amount of loss; impact on taxation (no financial statement adjustments required)

Going concern: if the company is going to be liquidated or shutdown due to this, Financial statements should not be prepared on a going concern basis, but should do realisation/liquidation accounting as this non adjusting event had shut down the company.
