If the effect of the time value of money is material, theamount of a provision shall be the present value of expense expected to be required to settle the obligation Provisionsare therefore discounted, when effect is material, The discount rate shall be pre-tax rate that reflects current marketassessment of time value of money and risk specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted toreflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of whichwill be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that anoutflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a)recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financialstatements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classifiedits financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard, described as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniqueswhich maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputsrequired to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3- If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Thisis the case for unlisted equity securities, security deposits included in level 3.
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that aremeasured at fair value or where fair value disclosure is required.
