f) Investments and other financial assets
The group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
* those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and ’ those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
i) Impairment of financial assets
The group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI For trade receivables only, the group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
ii) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when
* The group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
* retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
g) Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the management estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the
recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost.
h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statements comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
i) Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of Cost and Net Realisable Value. Cost of traded goods is arrived at on FIFO
j) Property, plant and equipment
i) Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation except for those, which are revalued, in which case they are stated at the revalued cost less accumulated depreciation.
ii) Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
