K. Provisions, Contingent Assets/ Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apast event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and areliable estimate can be made ofthe amount ofthe obligation.
Show cause notices issued by Government Authorities where the probability of outflow of economic resourcesis remote are not considered as obligations. When the demands are raised against show-cause notices and aredisputed by the company, these are treated as disputed obligations along with other contingent liabilities. Suchcontingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent Assets are neitherrecognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Warranty Provisions: Provisions for Warranty related costs are recognized when the product is sold orservice is provided. Provision is based on historical experience. The estimate of such warranty related costs isrevised annually.
L. Leases
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for aperiod of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the useof 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 leaseand (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use ofthe asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and acorresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term oftwelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, theCompany recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of thelease.
As a lessee, the Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with anyoption to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes anassessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonablycertain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, theCompany considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term,costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company'soperations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives.The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economiccircumstances.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liabilityadjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial directcosts less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basisover the shorter ofthe lease term and useful life ofthe underlying asset.
Right-of-use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thattheir 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 basisunless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In suchcases, 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. Thelease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, usingthe incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasuredwith a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment ifwhether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments havebeen classified as financing cash flows.
If modifications or reassessments occur, the lease liability and right of use asset are re-measured. Right of useassets are depreciated over the shorter ofthe useful life ofthe asset or the lease term.
Income tax expense represents the sum of current tax payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax: The tax currently payable is based on the current year taxable profit for the year. The current taxis calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reportingperiod.
Deferred tax: Deferred tax is provided using the Balance Sheet method on temporary differences between thetax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reportingdate. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it isprobable that the taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be
utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the endof the reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date andreduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all orpart of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
N. Earnings per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings pershare is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by theweighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Dilutedearnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attribute to ordinary shareholders and theweighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of alldilutive potential ordinary shares.
O. Employee benefits:
Defined Contribution Plans: Payments made to a defined contribution plan such as provident Fund are chargedas an expense in the Profit and Loss Account as they fall due.
Defined Benefit Plans: Company's liability towards gratuity to past employees is determined using theprojected unit credit method which considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit ofbenefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. Past services arerecognized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested.Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss Account as income orexpense. Obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discounted rate thatis determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Government Securities where thecurrency and terms of the Government Securities are consistent with the currency and estimate terms of thedefined benefit obligations.
Non-derivative financial instrumentsNon-derivative financial instruments consist of:
i) financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other advances and eligiblecurrent and non-current assets;
ii) Financial liabilities, which include long and short-term loans and borrowings, trade payables, eligiblecurrent and non-current liabilities.
Non derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value including any directly attributabletransaction costs. Financial assets are derecognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership of thefinancial asset have been transferred. In cases where substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financialassets are neither transferred nor retained, financial assets are derecognized only when the Company has notretained control over the financial asset.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below:
a) Cash and cash equivalents

They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and receivables areinitially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured atamortized cost, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables and otherassets.
