1.12 Provisions:
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructiveobligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cashflows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risksspecific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect thecurrent best estimate.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligationthat may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or theamount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably.
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which, in the likelihood ofoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
1.13 Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits held at call with banks, othershort term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readilyconvertible to a known amount of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in valueand are held for meeting short-term cash commitments. Equity investments and bank borrowings areexcluded from cash equivalents. However, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand areincluded as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
1.144 Impairment of assets:
The company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,the company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is thehigher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Recoverable amount is determinedfor an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independentof those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGUexceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to itsrecoverable amount.
1.15 Income Taxes:
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income-tax expense is recognized innet profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognizeddirectly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income taxfor current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered fromthe tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arisingbetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will beavailable against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. The companyoffsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off therecognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settlethe liability simultaneously.
