Provisions are recognized when the Company has apresent obligation (legal or constructive) as a result ofa past event, it is probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of theamount of the obligation. If the effect of the time valueof money is material, the amount of a provision shall bethe present value of expense expected to be required tosettle the obligation Provisions are therefore discounted,when effect is material, The discount rate shall be pre¬tax rate that reflects current market assessment of timevalue of money and risk specific to the liability. Unwindingof the discount is recognized in the Statement of Profitand Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed ateach balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is apossible obligation arising from past events, the existenceof which will be confirmed only by the occurrence ornon-occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the Company or apresent obligation that arises from past events where itis either not probable that an outflow of resources willbe required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amountcannot be made. Information on contingent liability isdisclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises frompast events and whose existence will be confirmedonly by the occurrence or non-occurrence of oneor more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the entity, Contingent assets are notrecognized, but are disclosed in the notes. However,when the realization of income is virtually certain, thenthe related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but itis recognized as an asset.
The preparation of the Company's financialstatements requires management to makejudgements, estimates and assumptions that affectthe reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assetsand liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and
the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date ofthe financial statements. Estimates and assumptionsare continuously evaluated and are based onmanagement's experience and other factors, includingexpectations of future events that are believed to bereasonable under the circumstances.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimatescould result in outcomes that require a materialadjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilitiesaffected in future periods.
In particular, the Company has identified the followingareas where significant judgements, estimates andassumptions are required. Further information oneach of these areas and how they impact the variousaccounting policies are described below and also in therelevant notes to the financial statements. Changes inestimates are accounted for prospectively.
In the process of applying the company's accountingpolicies, management has made the followingjudgements, which have the most significant effect onthe amounts recognized in the financial statements:
i) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary courseof business in relation to claims against the company,including legal, contractor, land access and otherclaims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolvedonly when one or more uncertain future events occuror fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, andpotential quantum, of contingencies inherently involvesthe exercise of significant judgments and the use ofestimates regarding the outcome of future events.
ii) Recognition of Deferred tax Assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can berecognized is based on an assessment of the probabilitythat future taxable income will be available againstwhich the deductible temporary differences and taxloss carry-forward can be utilized. In addition, significantjudgement is required in assessing the impact of anylegal or economic limits or uncertainties in various taxjurisdictions.
The key assumptions concerning the future andother key sources of estimation uncertainty at thereporting date that have a significant risk of causinga material adjustment to the carrying amounts ofassets and liabilities within the next financial year,are described below.
The Company based its assumptions and estimates onparameters available when the financial statementswere prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptionsabout future developments, however, may change dueto market change or circumstances arising beyond thecontrol of the Company. Such changes are reflected inthe assumptions when they occur.
i) Useful lives of tangible/intangible assets
The Company reviews its estimate of the useful lives oftangible/intangible assets at each reporting date, basedon the expected utility of the assets.
ii) Defined benefit obligation
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post¬employment benefits and the present value of suchobligation are determined using actuarial valuations. Anactuarial valuation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discount rate,future salary increases, mortality rates and futurepension increases. In view of the complexities involvedin the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in theseassumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at eachreporting date.
iii) Inventories
The Company estimates the net realizable valuesof inventories, taking into account the most reliableevidence available at each reporting date.
iv) Fair Value measurement of FinancialInstruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financialliabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot bemeasured based on quoted prices in active marketsshows at cost.
As a lessee The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land. The Company assesses whethera contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveysthe right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) thecontract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits fromuse 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 correspondinglease 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.
The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:
- Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with asimilar end date;
- Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months oflease term on the date of initial application;
- Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
The aggregate depreciation expense on ROU assets is included under depreciation and amortization expense in thestatement of Profit and Loss.

investment risks, interest rate risk, longevity risk andsalary risk
Investment Risk

Currently, for the plan in India, ithas relatively balanced mix of investments in Insurancerelated products.
Interest Rate Risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase theplan liability; however, this will be partially offset by anincrease in the return on the plan's debt.
Longevity Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liabilityis calculated by reference to the best estimate of themortality of plan participants both during and after theiremployment. An increase in the life expectancy of theplan participants will increase the plan's liability.
Salary Risk
The present value of the defined plan liability iscalculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of theplan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Level 1:
Quoted prices in the active market. This level of hierarchyincludes financial assets that are measured by referenceto quoted prices in the active market. This categoryconsists of quoted equity shares and debt based openended mutual funds.
Level 2:
Valuation techniques with observable inputs. This levelof hierarchy includes items measured using inputs otherthan quoted prices included within Level 1 that areobservable for such items, either directly or indirectly.
This level of hierarchy consists of debt based closeended mutual fund investments and over the counter(OTC) derivative contracts.
Level 3:
Valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. This levelof hierarchy includes items measured using inputs thatare not based on observable market data (unobservableinputs). Fair value determined in whole or in part, using avaluation model based on assumptions that are neithersupported by prices from observable current markettransactions in the same instruments nor based on
available market data. The main item in this categoryare unquoted equity instruments.
The fair value of the financial assets are determined atthe amount that would be received to sell an asset inan orderly transaction between market participants.The following methods and assumptions were used toestimate the fair values:
Investments in debt mutual funds:
Fair value is determined by reference to quotes fromthe financial institutions, i.e. Net asset value (NAV)for investments in mutual funds declared by mutualfund house.
Quoted equity investments:
Fair value is derived from quoted market prices in activemarkets.
Unquoted equity investments:
Fair value is derived on the basis of income approach, inthis approach the discounted cash flow method is usedto capture the present value of the expected futureeconomic benefits to be derived from the ownership ofthese investments.
The Company's management monitors and managesthe financial risks relating to the operations of theCompany. These risks include market risk (includingcurrency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), creditrisk and liquidity risk.
The management reviews cash resources, implementsstrategies for foreign currency exposures and ensuringmarket risk limit and policies.
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, inrealizable fair values or in future cash flows that mayresult from a change in the price of a financial instrument.The value of a financial instrument may change as resultof changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchangerates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other marketchanges.
