2. Basis of preparation, measurement and material accounting policies
2.1. Basis of preparation
a) Basis of preparation
The Standalone Financial Statements of the Company comprises the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows and the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended and a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (together referred to as the "Standalone Financial Statements”).
The Standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principle of Indian Accounting Standard 34 "Financial Reporting” ("Ind AS 34”) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act”), read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements are consistent with those used for the preparation of annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025.
The Standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise
stated.
b) Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Standalone Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
I. Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle.
II. Held primarily for the purpose of trading.
III. Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
IV. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
I. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle.
II. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
III. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
IV. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. Advance tax paid is classified as non-current assets.
c) Operating cycle
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act 2013. Based on the nature of services and the time taken between acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of the classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current.
2.2. Basis of measurement
a) Basis of accounting
The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with Ind AS. Fair value measurements are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
I. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the Company can access at measurement date;
II. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
III. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets or liabilities.
Above levels of fair value hierarchy are applied consistently and generally, there are no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy unless the circumstances change warranting such transfer.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes: - Financial instruments
b) Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these Standalone Financial Statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
i. Determination of useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangibles
ii. Impairment test of non-financial assets
iii. Recognition of deferred tax assets
iv. Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies
v. Fair value of financial instruments
vi. Impairment of financial assets
vii. Measurement of defined benefit obligations
viii. Revenue recognition
ix. Determination of incremental borrowing rate for leases
x. Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables
2.3. Material accounting policies
a) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Recognition and measurement:
Items of property, plant and equipment, are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes (after deducting trade discounts and rebates), any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when the item is derecognised.
Subsequent expenditure:
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and that the cost of the item can be reliably measured.
The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repair and maintenance are charged to the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation:
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, is provided under the written down value method in the manner prescribed under Schedule II of the Act.
For certain items of Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company depreciates over estimated useful life which are different from the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 which is based upon technical assessment made by the technical expert and management estimate. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on prospective basis

b) Capital work in progress and Capital advances :
Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the enc of the reporting period, is shown as capital work in progress.
Advances given towards acquisition of property, plan and equipment outstanding at end of each reporting period are disclosed as other non-current assets.
c) Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that arc acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulat ed amortisation and accumulated impairment losses Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that arc acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulat ed impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles excluding eligible development costs are not capital ized and the related expenditure is reflected in th« profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure i: incurred.
Amortization:
Amortisation is recognized on a written down valu< basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed a the end of each reporting period, with the effect of an; changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospec tive basis.
The estimated useful lives as mentioned below:

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
d) Intangible Assets under Development
Expenditure on intangible assets eligible for capitalization are carried as intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.
e) Impairment of non-financial assets:
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an Impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Company of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease and to the extent that the impairment loss is greater than the related revaluation surplus, the excess impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss to the extent that it eliminates the impairment loss which has been recognised for the asset in prior years. Any increase in excess of this amount is treated as a revaluation increase.
f) Leases:
As a Lessee:
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
I. the contact involves the use of an identified asset
II. the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
III. the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortised cost at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
I. fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;
II. variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
III. the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
IV. the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
V. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.
The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the Standalone Balance Sheet. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:
I. the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
II. the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
III. a lease contract is modified, and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the Standalone Balance Sheet. The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost which comprises of the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day and any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Whenever the Company incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured. The costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.
As a Lessor:
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
g) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of all expenses that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the First In First Out method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
h) Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalent in the Standalone Balance Sheet and Standalone Statement of Cash Flows comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
i) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Subsequent measurement:
For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
• Amortised cost,
• Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Amortised cost:
A financial instrument is measured at the Amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
• The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
• Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method.
Financial assets - Equity Investment in subsidiaries:
The Company has accounted for its equity investment in subsidiariesat cost.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:
a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flow from the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at Amortised cost and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.
Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured following the ‘simplified approach' at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL at each reporting date. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward looking estimates are analyzed. In respect of other financial assets, the loss allowance is measured at 12-month ECL only if there is no significant deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
Subsequent measurement:
Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the classification of the respective financial liabilities.
Financial Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):
A financial liability is classified as Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) if it is classified as held-for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and changes therein, including any interest expense, are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities at Amortised cost:
After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than those which are classified as FVTPL are subsequently measured at Amortised cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The Amortisation done using the EIR method is included as finance costs in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial Liabilities - Financial guarantee contracts:
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit or Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the Standalone Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
j) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Commitments
A provision is recognised when the enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possi
ble obligations that arise from past events, but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised till the realization of the income is virtually certain. However, the same are disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.
Warranty
Provision is estimated for expected warranty claim in respect of products sold during the year based on past experience regarding defective claim of products and cost of rectification or replacement. It is expected that most of this cost will be incurred over next 12 months which is as per warranty terms.
k) Revenue recognition
Sale of goods and Services
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of Consumer products comprising of plastic and rubber products such as water bottles, storage container and jars, tiffin's and lunch carriers, glassware, steel flasks and jars.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of contract with the customer. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, risk of obsolescence and loss pass to the customer and the Company has the present right to payment, all of which occurs at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the product.
The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfil the promise to transfer the related products and the customer payments for shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of revenue. In certain customer contracts, shipping and handling services are treated as a distinct separate performance obligation and the Company recognises revenue for such services when the performance obligation is completed.
The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price. The transaction price is based upon the amount the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring of promised goods and services to the customer after deducting incentive programs, included but not limited to discounts, volume rebates etc.
For incentives offered to customers, the Company makes estimates related to customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts
earned and to be recorded as deductions. The estimate is made in such a manner, which ensures that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The actual amounts may differ from these estimates and are accounted for prospectively.
No element of significant financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term, which is consistent with market practice.
Revenue from rendering of services is recognized over the time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligations at the reporting period.
Incentives on exports and other Government incentives
Incentives on exports and other Government incentives related to operations are recognized in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Contract balances Trade receivables:
A receivable represents the Company's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
l) Other Income
Interest Income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Dividend income
Dividends are recognised in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss on the date on which the Company's right to receive payment is established.
m) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss.
n) Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.
o) Employee Benefits Short-term Employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, bonus and ex gratia including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are classified as short-term employee benefits and are recognised as an expense in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss as the related service is provided.
Certain employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences as per applicable statutory provisions. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Post-Employment Benefits
Defined Contribution Plans:
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which a Company pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes contribution to provident fund in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and Employee State Insurance. Contribution paid or payable in respect of defined contribution plan is recognised as an expense in the year in which services are rendered by the employee.
Defined Benefit Plans:
The Company's gratuity benefit scheme is a defined benefit plan. The liability is recognised in the Standalone Balance Sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gain losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/obligation are calculated at balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI).
p) Taxation
Income tax expense /income comprises current tax expense /income and deferred tax expense /income. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. In which case, the tax is also recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, respectively.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable profit or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if,
• the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
• intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the amount considered for tax purpose.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that
deferred tax asset to be utilized such reductions are reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be recovered.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting year.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:
• the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
• the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
q) Dividend
The Company recognizes a liability for any dividend declared but not distributed at the end of the reporting year, when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company on or before the end of the reporting year.
r) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed using the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the shareholders' and weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s) Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
I. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
II. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1— Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2— Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3— Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
t) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. Cash flows for the year are classified by operating, investing and financing activities.
