Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, itis probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount ofthe obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Whena provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). Contingent Liability is disclosed after carefulevaluation of facts, uncertainties and possibility of reimbursement, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits is remote .Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in notes.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of theinstrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable tothe acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair valuethrough profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financialliability. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value throughprofit or loss (FVTPL) are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
Trade receivables not containing any material financing component or where practical expedient as per para 63 of Ind AS 115is applied are recognised and measured at transaction price.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending onthe classification of the financial assets.
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash thatare subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the dateof purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted forwithdrawal and usage.
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method if these financial assets areheld within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractualterms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on theprincipal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) if these financial assets are held withina business whose objective is achieved by both selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows, the contractualterms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest onthe principal amount outstanding. On initial recognition, the Company makes an irrevocable election on an instrument-by¬instrument basis to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income pertaining to investmentsin equity instruments, other than equity investment which are held for trading. Subsequently, they are measured at fair valuewith gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the“Reserve for equity instruments through other comprehensive income’. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profitor loss on disposal of the investments. So far, the Company has not elected to present subsequent changes in fair value of anyinvestment in OCI.
Investment in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition topresent subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for investment in equity instruments which are notheld for trading. Other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized costor at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to theacquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit lossesif the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financialinstrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financialinstrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. However, for trade receivables, the Company measures theloss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. In cases where the amounts are expected to be realisedup to one year from the date of the invoice, loss for the time value of money is not recognised, since the same is not consideredto be material.
Derecognition of financial assets
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of theconsideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in profit or loss if such gain orloss.
Debt and equity instruments issued by a Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with thesubstance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its liabilities.As per paragraph B5.2.3 of Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, all investments in equity instruments must be measured at fairvalue. However, in limited circumstances, cost may be an approximate estimate of fair value. That may be the case if sufficientmore recent information is not available to measure the fair value. As in each of these investments, the Company’s % votingpower is less than 20% (in most of cases it is less than 2%) and as these are unlisted entities, recent detailed information isnot available. Hence these are valued at cost which is considered to be approximate fair value. Investments in equity shares ofsubsidiary and associates are measured at costs as per Ind-As 28. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognisedat the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Compound financial instruments
The components of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with thesubstance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversionoption that will be settled by issue of fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments in exchange of a fixed amount ofcash or another financial asset is an equity instrument. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimatedusing the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recognised as a liability on anamortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fairvalue of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is notsubsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversionoption is exercised, in which case, the balance recognised in equity will be transferred to other component of equity. When theconversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognised in equity will betransferred to retained earnings. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversionoption.
T ransaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportionto the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognised directly in equity.Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and areamortised over the lives of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled orhave expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid andpayable is recognised in profit or loss.
These amounts represent liabilities for goods & services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year whichare unpaid. These are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interestmethod.
The Company is mainly engaged in Media Business which is identified as the only reportable business segment of the Companyin accordance with the requirements of Ind AS 108, ‘Operating Segment Reporting’, notified under the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015. All the operating facilities are located in India. The Company’s business activity primarilyfalls within a single geographical segment.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for theeffects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cashflows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the profit/loss for the year attributable to the shareholders of the parentCompany by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computedby dividing the profit/loss for the year attributable to the shareholders of the parent as adjusted for dividend, interest and othercharges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weightedaverage number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equityshares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares aredeemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinaryoperations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have beenissued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actuallyissued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determinedindependently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted forshare splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.
Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realizationin cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification ofits assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
• Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading
• Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months afterthe reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if thecontract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contractinvolves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the assetthrough the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding leaseliability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-termleases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as anoperating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
As a lessee, the Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option toextend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on theexpected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extendor terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significantleasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance ofthe underlying asset to Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability ofsuitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economiccircumstances.
Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assetsand lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.
ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any leasepayments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. Theyare subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and usefullife of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicatethat their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e thehigher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset doesnot generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount isdetermined 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. The lease paymentsare discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing ratesin the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROUasset if the Company changes its assessment if whether 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 have been classifiedas financing cash flows.
The Company as a lessor
Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfersubstantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leasesare classified as operating leases.
When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. Thesublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease.
For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations that the Management have made in theprocess of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have most significant effect on the amounts recognised inthe consolidated financial statements.
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of thegratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salaryincreases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefitobligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured basedon quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. Theinputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree ofjudgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, creditrisk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
Key source of estimation uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of impairment of investments, provisionsand contingent liabilities.
Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment
Useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment are based on management’s estimate of the expected life andresidual value of those assets. These estimates are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Any reassessment of thesemay result in change in depreciation expense for future years (Refer note no 2.5).
Impairment of Property Plant and Equipment
The recoverable amount of the assets has been determined on the basis of their value in use. For estimating the value in useit is necessary to project the future cash flow of assets over its estimated useful life. If the recoverable amount is less than itscarrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in statement of profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. Thisinvolves an assessment of when those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse and a judgment as to whether or not there willbe sufficient taxable profits available to offset the tax assets when they do reverse. The Company reviews the carrying amountof deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. Any change in the estimates of future taxable income may impact therecoverability of deferred tax assets.
There are no significant material orders passed by the Regulators/Courts which would impact the going concern status of theCompany and its future operations.
Items included in the financial statements of entity are measured using currency of the primary economic environment in whichthe entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is entity’sfunctional and presentation currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date thetransaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchangeat the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange ratesat the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated usingthe exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary itemsmeasured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item.
Dividends and interim dividends payable to the Company’s shareholders are recognized as changes in equity in the period inwhich they are approved by the shareholders’ meeting and the Board of Directors respectively.
Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the prior periods presentedin which the error occurred. If the error occurred before the earliest period presented, the opening balances of assets, liabilitiesand equity for the earliest period presented, are restated.
There is no event after reporting period which needs to be disclosed.
