2.3 Material accounting policies
a) Revenue Recognition Revenue
Revenue towards satisfaction of performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and
schemes offered by the company as a part of the contract.
i) Sale of products
The company derives revenue primarily from the sale of Writing and Printing Paper and Soda Ash.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer which is usually on dispatch/ delivery.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price (net of variable consideration) which is consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, rebates, scheme allowances, price concessions, incentives, and returns, if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers.
Revenue excludes taxes collected from customers on behalf of the government.
Due to the short nature of credit period given to customers, there is no financing component in the contract.
ii) Interest income
- Interest Income from customers is recognized on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
- Interest Income from financial asset is recognized when it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the company and amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on time basis, by reference to principal outstanding and at effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
iii) Dividend income
Dividend income from investment is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established by the reporting date and amount of dividend can be measured reliably, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment.
iv) Insurance and Other Claims
Insurance claims are recognized when no significant uncertainty exists with regard to the amount to be realized and the ultimate collection thereof.
b) Employee Benefits
i) Short Term Employee benefit:
The short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised on an undiscounted accrual basis during the year when the employees render the services. These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services.
Post Employment Benefit Plan
ii) Defined Contribution plan Provident Fund:
Employees receive benefit in the form of Provident fund which is a defined contribution plan. The company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognises contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
iii) Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity:
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan “The gratuity plan” covering eligible employees. The gratuity plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employee at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employee of an amount based on the respective employees’ salary and the tenure of employment with the company.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
For defined benefit retirement 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 balance sheet date. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re¬ measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised 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 categorised as follows:
a. service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
b. net interest expense or income; and
c. re-measurement
The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ’Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.
iv) Other long term employee benefit Compensated absences:
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability in respect of other long-term employee benefits and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
c) Property, Plant and Equipment
a) Freehold land is stated at historical cost and not depreciated. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or deemed cost applied on transition to Ind AS, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any.
b) On transition to Ind As, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its Property, plant & equipment and Intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP and used that carrying value as it’s deemed cost of it’s Property, plant & equipment and Intangible assets.
c) The Cost of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment comprises its purchase price net of recoverable taxes where applicable and any attributable expenditure (directly or indirectly) for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and the borrowing costs for qualifying assets and the initial estimate of restoration cost if the recognition criteria are met. the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
An item of Property, Plant and Equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in the statement of Profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual value are reviewed periodically and at the end of each reporting period. The company depreciates property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013 except the assets costing Rs 5000/- or below on which deprecation is charged @ 100% per annum on proportionate basis, are as follows:
Building - 30-60 years
Plant and Machinery - 15-25 years
Office Equipment - 05 years
Computer Equipment - 03 years
Furniture and fittings - 10 years
Vehicles excluding Motor cycles - 08 years
Motor cycles - 10 years
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets. Capital work in Progress includes assets not ready for their intended use and includes related incidental expenses.
Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method.
d) Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
An intangible asset is derecognised 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 are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised
Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:
Computer Softwares 6 Years
e) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU (Cash Generating unit) to which the asset belongs.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Impairment is reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.
f) Inventories
Inventories of raw materials, stores and spares, work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. The cost in respect of the aforesaid items of inventory is computed as under:
- In case of raw materials, at first in first out cost plus direct expenses.
- In case of stores and spares, at weighted average cost plus direct expenses.
- In case of work-in-progress, at material cost plus conversion cost depending upon the stage of completion.
- In case of finished goods, at material cost plus conversion cost, packing cost and other overheads incurred to bring the goods to their present condition and location.
- In Case of Material in T ransit, Actual cost plus direct expenses to the extent incurred.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
g) Government Grants
(i) The government grants are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the grants will be received.
(ii) Government grants in relation to fixed assets are treated as deferred income and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.
(iii) Government grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the period necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate.
(iv) Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company with no future related costs are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they become receivable.
(v) Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.
h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of items of Property, plant and equipment which necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the interest costs.
i) Leases
The Company as a lessee
The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and office building. 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, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and leases for which underlying asset is of low value. For these short-term and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
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 is subsequently depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
j) Foreign currency transactions Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded, on initial recognition in the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognised using the closing exchange rate as on balance sheet date.
The non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at rates different from rates at which these were recognised on initial recognition during the period or reported in previous financial statements are recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on net basis.
k) Accounting for Taxes on income
i. Income tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to when it relates to items recognized directly in equity or items recognised in other comprehensive income in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
ii. Current income tax for current period is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
iii. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
iv. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date.
v. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses 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 the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been offset as they are governed by the same taxation laws.
vi. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
l) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
m) Dividend
The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors. Company is required to pay / distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes.
The Company incurred a cash outflow of F691.23 lakhs during the year ended 31st March, 2025, on account of the final dividend for fiscal 2024. The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of F3.00 per equity share and special dividend of F2.00 per equity share for the financial year ended 31st March 2025. This payment is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company and if approved, would result in a cash outflow of approximately F691.23 lakhs.
n) Financial Instruments
i) Initial Recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liability are recognised when the company entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial asset or financial liability on initial recognition. However, trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Transaction cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
ii) Subsequent measurement A) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets > Non-derivative financial instruments
1. Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for instruments measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (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 life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the “Other income” line item.
3. Investment in Equity Instruments measured at fair value through OCI
On initial recognition, the company can make an irrevocable election for its investment which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction cost, subsequently there are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the Reserve for equity instruments through Other Comprehensive Income. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss on disposal of the investments.
- The above election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading.
Dividend on these investments in equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably. Dividends recognized in the statement of profit and loss are included in ’other income’ line item.
4. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently measured at fair valued through profit or loss. Debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the fair value through other comprehensive income but are designated as fair value through profit or loss are measured at FVTPL.
5. Impairment of financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at
amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset not designated as at FVTPL.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.
When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECL’s at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally applied to debt instruments at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance sheet.
6. De-recognition of Financial Assets
The Company derecognises 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 recognises 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 recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
7. Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.
For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
> Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks and to manage its exposure to imported raw material price risk including foreign exchange forward contracts and commodities future contracts. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
B. Financial liabilities
The financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
1. Financial Liability at fair value through Profit or Loss
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either contingent consideration recognised by the Company as an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103 applies or is held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
a. it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
b. on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; orc. it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
2. Financial Liabilities Subsequently measured at Amortised Cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the ’Finance costs’ line item.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised 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.
3. De-recognition of Financial Liablities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between 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 or not 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 derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
> Cash Flow Hedge
The Company has not designated derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges.
> Equity Instruments:
Equity instrument are any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an equity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Debt or 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.
> Ordinary Shares
Equity shares issued by the company are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
o) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segments are identified based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (’CODM’) decides about resource allocation and reviews performance.
p) Cash flow statement
The Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non¬ cash nature and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.
q) Cash and cash equivalent
Cash and cash equivalent for the purpose of statement of cash flows include bank balances, where the original maturity is three months or less and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are included as a component of cash and cash equivalent for the purpose of statement of cash flow.
