Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
i) Provision
Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when theCompany has a present obligation (legal or constructive)as a result of a past event, which is expected to result inan outflow of resources embodying economic benefitswhich can be reliably estimated. Each provision isbased on the best estimate of the expenditure requiredto settle the present obligation at the balance sheetdate. When appropriate, provisions are measured ona discounted basis. Provisions are not recognised forfuture operating losses.
Constructive obligation is an obligation that derives froman entity's actions where:
(a) by an established pattern of past practice,published policies or a sufficiently specific currentstatement, the entity has indicated to other partiesthat it will accept certain responsibilities and
(b) as a result, the entity has created a valid expectationon the part of those other parties that it willdischarge those responsibilities.
ii) Contingent Liabilities and Assets
Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arisesfrom past events and the existence of which will beconfirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence ofone or more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the company, or is a present obligation thatarises from past events but is not recognised becauseeither it is not probable that an outflow of resourcesembodying economic benefits will be required to settlethe obligation, or a reliable estimate of the amount of theobligation cannot be made. These are reviewed at eachbalance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the currentbest estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosedin the Notes. "
Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or otherunexpected events that give rise to the possibility of aninflow of economic benefits to the entity. Contingentassets are not recognised in financial statements sincethis may result in the recognition of income that maynever be realised. However, when the realisation ofincome is virtually certain, then the related asset is not acontingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
2.13 Leases
Company as a Lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains alease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains,a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the useof an identified asset for a period of time in exchange forconsideration.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset ("ROU") anda corresponding lease liability with respect to all leasearrangements in which it is the lessee at the date at whichthe leases asset is available for use by the Company, exceptfor leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-termleases) and leases of low-value assets. Contracts may containboth lease and non-lease components. The Companyallocates the consideration in the contract to the lease andnon-lease components based on their relative stand-aloneprices. Payments associated with short term leases and allleases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-linebasis as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss overthe term of the lease unless another systematic basis is morerepresentative of the time pattern in which economic benefitsfrom the leased asset are consumed.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measuredon a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the netpresent value of the following lease payments:
(i) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments),less any lease incentives receivable,
(ii) variable lease payment that are based on an index or arate, initially measured using the index or rate as at thecommencement date,
(iii) amounts expected to be payable by the Company underresidual value guarantees,
(iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company isreasonably certain to exercise that option, and
(v) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if thelease term reflects the Company exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rateimplicit in the lease. If that rate can not be readily determined,which is generally the case for leases in the Company, thelessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate thatthe individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the fundsnecessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-useasset in a similar economic environment with similar terms,security and conditions.
The Company is exposed to potential future increase invariable lease payments based on an index or rate, whichare not included in the lease liability until they take effect.The lease liability will be reassessed and adjusted against theright-of-use of asset as and when such changes takes effect.Each lease payment is allocated between the liability andfinance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or lossover the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rateof interest on the remaining balance of the liability for eachperiod. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a correspondingadjustment to the related right-of-use asset if the companychanges its assessment of whether it will exercise an extensionor a termination option.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement ofthe corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at orbefore the commencement day, any initial direct costs andrestoration costs. They are subsequently measured at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on astraight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and usefullife of the underlying asset.
Lease liability and right-of-use asset (ROU) have beenseparately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease paymentshave been classified as financing cash flows.
Company as a Lessor
Leases for which the company is a lessor is classified either as afinance or an operating lease. Whenever the terms of the leasetransfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental toownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, the contractis classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified asoperating leases.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease.
The Company did not need to make any adjustment to theaccounting for assets held as lessor as a result of adopting thenew leasing standard
