B : Basis of Preparation and Presentation
(a) These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2016 and other relevant provisions from the Act. The Company has consistently applied accounting policies to all periods.
(b) Historical Cost Convention: The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the certain financial assets and liabilities that are stated at fair value.
(c) All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes are presented in INR (In Rupees) and all the values have been rounded off to the nearest Rupees in Lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III of the Act, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected. Key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation of deferred tax assets, provisions and contingent liabilities.
Critical accounting estimatesUseful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment
The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India and significant judgements are involved in determining the provisions for income taxes including amounts to be recovered or paid for uncertain tax position. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.
Valuation of deferred tax assets
The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. The policy for the same has been explained under Note No: 3 (viii)
Defined benefit obligations are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. Fair value determined by actuary is based on actuarial assumptions. Management judgement is required to determine such actuarial assumptions. Such assumptions are reviewed annually using the best information available with the management.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow model. The inputs to these models are from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions could affect the reported value of fair value of financial instruments
Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
The Company uses significant judgements to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the standalone financial statements.
C : Significant Accounting Policies
(i) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from New Media & Digital Content Syndication across various Digital Platforms, In addition traditionally the revenue source for the company have been Cinematic and Television Content Production and Distribution, Trading in Intellectual Property Rights of Films .
For Revenue recognition the Company identifies and evaluates each performance obligation under the contract. It is then based on the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized either when the performance obligation in the contract has been performed (âpoint in timeâ recognition) or âover timeâ as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue generated from internet/ web series produced for the broadcasters is recognized over the period of the contract.
Recorded Music Audio and Audio Video songs and or albums, mainly involves the Audio of the song is ready depending on song the team would then shoot with a particular cast and get the song ready for their Audio and Video Distribution along with marketing the same across various social media platforms. Any and all music distributed is either produced internally and or acquired directly from other companies or independent artist or music composers, etc. All revenues from recorded music are derived from licensing and self-exploiting the content across various digital OTT platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Sportify, Jio Saavan, and many such audio and video platforms.
The recorded music rights may be licensed for a specific period to digital platforms or channels and OTT platforms or assigned on perpetual basis. In case of assignment on perpetual basis, the revenues are recognized when the control is transferred to the customer. In case of licensing of recorded music rights, the digital platforms or channels and OTT platforms, as per industrial practice, share the data / reports of usage by subscribers or visitors to their platforms and share the revenue with the Company at variable rates as most of the revenue is from AVOD subscriptions and the company gets a part of the revenue from each platform from the ads services on the content licensed and broadcasted therein. The Company, accordingly, recognizes the revenues based upon the usage reports received from the digital platforms and channels or OTT platforms.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
Contract assets are recognized when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.
(ii) Foreign Currency Loans/Transactions
(a) Functional and presentation currency:
Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (âthe functional currencyâ). These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is companyâs functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in Foreign currency are recorded at the rate prevailing on the date of when the amount is received or remitted. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are converted into rupee at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date; gains/ losses are reflected in the statement of profit and loss. NonMonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-Monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
(a) Short Term Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.
(b) Long Term Employee Benefits
The liability towards gratuity is not funded. The present value of these defined benefit obligations are ascertained by an independent actuarial valuation as per the requirement of IND AS 19- Employee Benefits. The liability recognized in the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. Gains and losses through re-measurements of net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The effects of any plan amendments are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
(iv) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant & equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work-in-progress.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant & equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with this will flow to the company and the cost of item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance cost are recognized in statement of profit & loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from financial statement upon sale or retirement of the asset and resultant gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit & loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.
Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment so as to expense the cost over their estimated useful lives based on evaluation. The estimated useful lives of property, plant & equipment is taken as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The estimated useful lives and residual value are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Cost excludes GST Input Tax Credit, Cenvat Credit, Sales Tax and Service Tax Credit, Custom Duty entitlement and such other levies / taxes. Depreciation on such assets is claimed on âreducedâ cost.
Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of a tangible asset are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Depreciation is not recorded on capital work-in-progress until construction and installation are complete and the asset is ready for its intended use.
(a) Financial assets (other than at fair value)
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
(b) Non-Financial assets Tangible and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
(a) Consumables:
Consumables are valued at lower of cost and market value.
(b) Intellectual Property Rights (Copy Rights):
IPR of films are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value.
(c) Under Production Films / Television Serials:
Cost of films are valued at actual cost incurred/ accrued which includes amount paid, bills settled and advance paid for which the bills are awaited.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
In case of films/recorded music which are released during the year, the realization from the sale of rights are reduced from the cost of production and the balance cost if any, is carried forward till the time the negative rights of the films/ recorded films are not exploited. The excess or deficit of the cost of production after exploitation of ânegativeâ rights will be treated as profit or loss in the profit & loss a/c as the case may be.
Inventory of Television Serials is valued at actual cost. The cost of content is amortized in the ratio of current revenue to expected total revenue. At the end of each accounting period, balance unamortized cost is compared with the net expected revenue. If net expected revenue is less than the unamortized cost, the same is written down to net expected revenue.
The Company is engaged in business of production of films/recorded audio or video music wherein the expected Operating Cycle for production is in the range of 18 to 24 months. Accordingly, Inventory (under production films) / Advances / Assets / Liabilities relating to film production are classified as Current Assets / Liabilities.
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Income tax expense is the aggregate amount of Current tax. Current tax is the amount of Income Tax determined to be payable in respect of the taxable income for an accounting period or computed on the basis of the provisions of Section 115JB of Income Tax Act, 1961 by way of minimum alternate tax (MAT) at the prescribed percentage on the adjusted book profits of a year, when Income Tax liability under the normal method of tax payable basis works out either a lower amount or nil amount compared to the tax liability u/s 115 JB.
Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction.
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax asset are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled.
The Company recognizes interest levied and penalties related to income tax assessments in interest expenses.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.
(a) Classification:
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
" those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
" those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entityâs business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss or Other Comprehensive Income.
(b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets. The Company has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of equity investments not held for trading.
(d) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
(e) De-recognition of financial assets:
A financial asset is de-recognised only when
- The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognised.
(f) Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset
(g) Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
(a) Classification as debt or equity:
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(b) Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the fair value.
(c) Subsequent measurement:
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(d) Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
(e) Trade Payables & Other Current Liabilities
For trade payables and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, carrying amounts approximate fair value due to short maturity of these instruments.
(f) Security Deposit
Under the previous GAAP, interest free Security Deposit (that are refundable in cash) are recorded at their transaction value. Under the Ind AS all financial assets are required to be recognized at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these Security Deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and the transaction value of Security Deposit has been recognized as deferred rent income. Deferred rent is recognized as income over period of deposit with corresponding recognition of interest expenses on the outstanding amount.
(viii) Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
(ix) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
(x) Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
(xi) Provisions and Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of managements best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
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 because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises where a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. The estimation of financial effect in respect of contingent liabilities and contingent assets wherever not practicable, is not disclosed and such fact is accordingly stated.
(xii) Goods and Services Tax
Goods and Services Tax (GST) liability is accounted on accrual basis. The Company is accounting liability for GST arising under reverse charge mechanism for various services availed by the company, at the time of booking of relevant expenditure. Credit for input GST is claimed as per appropriate laws, rules and regulations.
The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, companyâs incremental borrowing rate.
Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the companyâs estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases of real estate properties and other assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessorâs net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 Revenue from contracts with customers to allocate the consideration in the contract.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker of the Company consists of the managing director and chief financial officer which assesses the financial performance and position of the Company, and makes strategic decisions.
(xv) Recent Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1, 2023, as below:
a. Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, in its financial statements.
c. Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are âmonetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertaintyâ. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the result of
operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates are
based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions,
actual results could differ from these estimates.

flows.
(vi) Impairment
The carrying amount of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date
if there is any indication of impairment based on internal / external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is greater of asset's net selling price and value in use. In
assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to the present value at the weighted average cost of
capital. Previously recognized impairment loss is further provided or
reversed depending on changes in circumstances.
(vii) Inventories
a. Consumables
Consumables are valued at lower of cost and market value.
