2.16 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amountof the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, thereimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value ofmoney is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than theunavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expectedcost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Companyrecognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non¬occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized becauseit is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare caseswhere there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingentliability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
Provisions and contingent liability are reviewed at each balance sheet.
2.17 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds including interest expensecalculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease. Borrowing cost also includesexchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period oftime to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until such time as the assets are substantially readyfor the intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year in which they occur.
2.18 Related party transactions
The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions. Outstanding balances atthe period-end are unsecured and settlement occurs in cash or credit as per the terms of the arrangement. Impairment assessment isundertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party
2.19 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of anotherentity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss(FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. However, trade receivables that do not contain asignificant financing component are measured at transaction price.
Following are the categories of financial instrument:
a) Financial assets at amortised cost
b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method if these financial assets are held withina business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial assetgive rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(i) Debt financial assets measured at FVOCI:
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whoseobjective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset giverise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Equity Instruments designated at FVOCI:
On initial recognition, the Company makes an irrevocable election on an instrument-by-instrument basis to present the subsequent changes infair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investments in equity instruments, other than equity investment which are held fortrading. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in othercomprehensive income and accumulated in the 'Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income'. The cumulative gain orloss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.
Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to presentsubsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for investments in equity instruments which are not held for trading. Otherfinancial assets such as unquoted Mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or atfair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e.removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
a) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
b) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, and
i. the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
ii. the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluatesif and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of therisks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent ofthe Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and theassociated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained. Continuing involvementthat takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and themaximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss ('ECL') model for measurement and recognition of impairment losson the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured at FVTOCI.
c) Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL.
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. The application of simplifiedapproach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLsat each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been asignificant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide forimpairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of theinstrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts torecognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flowsthat the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is requiredto consider:
i) All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of thefinancial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity isrequired to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument ii) Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other creditenhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In the balance sheet, ECL is presented as anallowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount.Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
Offsetting:
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the standalone balance sheet if there is a currentlyenforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle theliabilities simultaneously.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables.All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributabletransaction costs. The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value throughprofit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date ofrecognition and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changesin own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Company may transfer thecumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. TheCompany has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date ofrecognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable tochanges in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to P&L. However, the Group may transferthe cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Loans and borrowings
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well asthrough the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees orcosts that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.
This category generally applies to borrowings.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financialliability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. Thedifference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a lossit incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financialguarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to theissuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairmentrequirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Reclassification of financial assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification ismade for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, areclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expectedto be infrequent. The Company's senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changeswhich are significant to the Company's operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs whenthe Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, itapplies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period followingthe change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) orinterest.
2.20 Share Based Payments
Equity-settled share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vestingperiod, based on the Company's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end ofeach reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision ofthe original estimates, if any, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss such that the cumulative expenses reflects the revised estimate,with a corresponding adjustment to the Share Based Payments Reserve.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
22 Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance and support Company'soperations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that derive directly from itsoperations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior managementadvises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies andprocedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agreespolicies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
A. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises two types of risk:interest rate risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans, borrowings and security deposits.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit riskfrom its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its investing activities (short term bank deposits). The Company only deals with parties which has good credit rating /worthiness given by external rating agencies or based on companies internal assessment.
