5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a| Financial Instruments
I. Recognition and Initial Measurement
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. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables (without a significant financing component) which are initially recognized at transaction price.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognized immediately in profit and loss.
II. Financial Assets
i. Classification of financial assets
Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the business model test and the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest ('SPPI').
Business Model Test: The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how Company's financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed and how the managers of the assets are compensated. The Company monitors financial assets measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income that are derecognized prior to their maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring
is part of the Company's continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate whether there has been a change in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets.
The Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test as a second step of its classification process, the Company assesses the contractual terms of financial assets to identify whether they meet the SPPI test. 'Principal' for the purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortization of the premium/ discount). In making this assessment, the Company considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending arrangement i.e. interest includes only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Basis the above tests for purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in three categories:
• Financial asset at amortized cost
• Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Amortized Cost
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is subsequently measured at amortized cost (except for financial asset that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
• The contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair value through other comprehensive income [FVTOCI]
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for financial
asset that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):
• t he asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
• The contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. The Company does not have any financial assets measured at FVTOCI.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss [FVTPL]
Financial assets that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measured at FVTPL. In addition, financial assets that meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria may irrevocably be designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
ii. Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated based on the Company's historical credit loss experience as well as data from peer groups, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money and management overlay where appropriate.
The Company applies a three-stage approach to measure ECL on loan assets. The underlying receivables of borrowers migrate through the following three stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition
Stage 1
For exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and
that are not credit impaired upon origination, the portion of the lifetime ECL associated with the probability of default events occurring within the next 12 months is recognized. Exposures with days past due (DPD) less than or equal to 30 days are classified as stage 1.
Stage 2
For credit exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that are not credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognized. Exposures with DPD range of 31-90 days are classified as stage 2. At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for underlying loan assets since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the expected life between the reporting date and the date of initial recognition.
Stage 3
Loan asset is assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred. For loan assets that have become credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognized on principal outstanding as at period end. Exposures with DPD equal to or more than 90 days are classified as stage 3.
Significant increase in credit risk
For loan assets, the date that the Company becomes a party to the contract with borrowers is considered to be the date of initial recognition for the purposes of assessing the financial instrument for impairment.
In assessing whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition of a loan asset, the Company considers the changes in the risk that the specified borrower will default on the contract. The Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the loan asset as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the loan asset as at the date of initial recognition and considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward- looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
The definition of default for the purpose of determining ECLs has been aligned to the Reserve Bank of India definition of default, which considers indicators that the borrower is unlikely to pay and is no later than when the exposure is equal to or more than 90 days past due. If one facility of the borrower is classified as Stage 3, all the facilities of that borrower are treated as Stage 3.
Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The measurement of all expected credit losses for loan assets held at the reporting date are based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default (EAD). The measurement of ECL involves increased complexity and judgement, including estimation of PDs, LGD, a range of unbiased future economic scenarios, estimation of expected lives and estimation of EAD, management overlay and assessing significant increases in credit risk. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets' gross carrying amount at the reporting date; for loan assets, the exposure includes the amount outstanding as at the reporting date, together with expected drawdowns on committed facilities (if any) in the future by default date determined based on historical trend, the Company's understanding of the specific future financing needs of the borrowers, and other relevant forward-looking information.
The Elements of ECL: The Company calculates ECLs based on probability weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Company and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are, as follows:
Probability of Default (PD) - The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the facility has not been previously derecognized and is still in the portfolio.
a) The Company has applied 12 months PD to Stage 1 Advances
b) The Lifetime PD is computed using basic exponentiation technique after considering the residual maturity of the respective loan for Stage 2 Advances.
c) PD of 100% is considered for Stage 3 Advances.
Exposure at Default (EAD) - EAD is taken as the gross exposure under a facility upon default of an obligor. The amortized principal and the interest accrued is considered as EAD for the purpose of ECL computation
Loss Given Default (LGD) - The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.
The Company recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity wherein fair value changes are accumulated, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the balance sheet.
In its ECL models, the Company relies on a broad range of forward-looking macro parameters and estimated the impact on the default at a given point of time. The Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
iii. De-recognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
De-recognition due to modification of terms and conditions
The Company de-recognizes a financial asset, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the extent that, substantially it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognized as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recognized. If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the
Company recognize a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recognized.
III. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
i. Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
ii. Equity Instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
iii. Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination (if any) which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
iv. De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
v. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
vi. Write offs
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when there is no realistic prospect of further recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor/ borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities under the Company's recovery procedures, considering legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made against or from written off assets are recognized in Statement of profit and loss.
b| Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. However, where the ultimate collection of revenue lacks reasonable certainty, revenue recognition is postponed.
Revenue is recognized by allocating the transaction price, net of variable consideration, to the performance obligations. Variable considerations include discounts and schemes offered as part of the contract. The net transaction price for each obligation represents the revenue recognized for its satisfaction.
i. Interest income
Interest income is recognized in Statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial assets.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the contract. The Company recognizes interest income using a rate of return that represents the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the loan. Hence, it recognizes the
effect of potentially different interest rates charged at various stages, and other characteristics of the product life cycle (including prepayments, penalty interest and charges). Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial asset.
If expectations regarding the cash flows on the financial asset are revised for reasons other than credit risk, the adjustment is recorded as a positive or negative adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset in the balance sheet with an increase or reduction in interest income. The adjustment is subsequently amortized through Interest income in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial assets other than credit-impaired assets.
For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the amortized cost of the credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for expected credit losses.
ii. Interest income on deposits with banks
Interest income from deposits with banks is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the outstanding amount and the applicable rate of interest.
iii. Net gain/loss on fair value changes
Any differences between the fair values of financial assets classified as fair value through the profit or loss, held by the Company on the balance sheet date is recognized as an unrealized gain/loss. In cases there is a net gain in the aggregate, the same is recognized in "Net gains on fair value changes" under Revenue from operations and if there is a net loss the same is disclosed under "Expenses - Net Loss on fair value changes" in the statement of profit and loss.
Similarly, any realized gain or loss on sale of financial instruments measured at FVTPL is recognized in net gain / loss on fair value changes.
iv. Loan Processing Fees
Processing fees on loans is collected towards processing of loan, this is amortized on EIR basis over the contractual life of the loan. Related cost incurred towards processing of loans is netted off against loan processing fees.
v. Fee Income
Fees and commissions are recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation, at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Foreclosure charges are collected from loan customers for early payment/ closure of loan and are recognized on realization. Initial money Deposit charges are collected from customers for document processing, which is non-refundable in the nature. Initial money Deposit charges are recognized in statement of profit and loss as fee income using EIR method on disbursed cases. On non-disbursed cases, it is taken to statement of profit and loss on realization.
vi. Other operational revenue
Other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognized when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.
c| Employee benefits
The Company's employee benefits mainly include salaries and bonuses, defined contribution plans (i.e. provident funds and employee state insurance scheme), defined benefits plans (i.e. gratuity) and other long-term employee benefits (i.e. compensated absences). The employee benefits are recognized in the year in which the associated services are rendered by the Company employees.
I. Short-term employee benefits
A liability is recognized for short-term employee benefits accruing to employees in respect of salaries, short term compensated absences, performance incentives etc. in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short¬ term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
II. Post-Employment Employee Benefits
i. Defined contribution plans
The contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in profit or loss as and when the services are rendered by employees. The Company has no further obligations under these plans beyond its periodic contributions.
ii. Defined benefits plans
For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting
period. Remeasurement, comprises actuarial gains and losses which is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• remeasurement
III. Other Long-term employee benefits
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year- end. Actuarial gain/loss are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
IV. Share-based payments
Employees of the Company also receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions under Company's Employee stock option plan (ESOP)- 2020.
The grant date fair value of equity settled share- based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service conditions at the vesting date.
d| Finance costs
Finance costs on borrowings is paid towards availing of loan, is amortized on EIR basis over the contractual life of loan. The EIR in case of a financial liability is computed:
a. As the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability to the gross carrying amount of the amortized cost of a financial liability.
b. By considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument in estimating the cash flows
c. I ncluding all fees paid between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
e| Leases
The Company's leased assets primarily consist of leases for office Space. The Company assesses whether a contract 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 contract 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.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or another systematic basis.
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 periods covered by extension options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised and includes periods covered by termination options when it is reasonably certain that they will not be exercised.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflect that the Company exercise a purchase option. The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether a ROU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the accounting policy below on "Impairment of non- financial assets".
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the Company's incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset (or in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero) if the Company changes its assessment whether it will exercise an extension or a termination or a purchase option.
The interest cost on lease liability (computed using effective interest method), is expensed off in the statement of profit and loss. Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows. The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract in accordance with Ind AS 116 and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand¬ alone price of the non-lease components.
f| Property, plant, and equipment |PPE|
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates then separately based on their specific useful lives.
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 cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. The cost of a self- constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Cost includes, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Subsequent costs relating to an item of Property, Plant and Equipment are recognized in the carrying amount of the item if the recognition criteria are met.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are disclosed separately under other non-financial assets.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to write down the cost of property and equipment to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as specified under schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives used for computation of depreciation are as follows:
The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted appropriately, at-least as at each financial year end so as to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from these assets. Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis from the date on which such asset is ready for its intended use.
The effect of any change in the estimated useful lives, residual values and /or depreciation method are accounted prospectively, and accordingly the depreciation is calculated over the property, plant and equipment's remaining revised useful life.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
g| Intangible assets
I ntangible assets are recognized when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. These assets having finite useful life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of intangible assets.
The estimated useful lives and amortization method are reviewed, and adjusted appropriately, at least at each financial year end so as to ensure that the method and period of amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from these assets. The effect of any change in the estimated useful lives and/ or amortization method is accounted for prospectively, and accordingly the amortization is calculated over the remaining revised useful life.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
| Capital work-in-progress (CWIP|
Capital Work in Progress (CWIP) of intangible assets refers to the costs incurred on the acquisition or development of intangible assets that are not yet ready for their intended use. Such costs are capitalized until the intangible assets are ready for use. CWIP of intangible assets are capitalized if they meet the following criteria:
• The Company has control over the asset or rights to it
• It is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company
• The cost of the asset can be reliably measured
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its 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 in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
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 is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset 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 recognized for the asset in prior
years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
