Colorchips New Media Limited (the âCompanyâ) was incorporated in India, under the Companies
Act, 1956. The Company is a global player within the Indian media and entertainment industry
and is primarily engaged in the business of film production, exploitation and distribution. It
operates on a vertically integrated studio model controlling content as well as distribution and
exploitation across multiple formats globally, including cinema, digital, home entertainment and
television syndication. Its shares are listed on leading stock exchanges in India (BSE Scrip Code:
540023).
These separate financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution
passed in the Board of Directors meeting held on 29th May 2025.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting
Standards (referred to as Ind ASâ) as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013
read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time to time.
The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis of accounting using historical cost
basis, except certain investments.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or noncurrent as per the Companyâs
normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. The Company
considers 12 months to be its normal operating cycle.
All values are rounded to the nearest rupees in lakhs, except where otherwise indicated. Amount
in zero represent amount below one lakh rupees.
a. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of sales related taxes, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, the product is delivered or services have been rendered
and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement
to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
The following additional criteria apply in respect of various revenue streams within filmed
entertainment:
DVD, CD and video distribution revenue is recognized on the date the product is delivered or if
licensed in line with the revenue recognition criteria. Provision is made for physical returns where
applicable. Digital and ancillary media revenues are recognized at the earlier of when the content
is accessed or declared. Visual effects, production and other fees for services rendered by the
Company and overhead recharges are recognized in the period in which they are earned and in
certain cases, the stage of production is used to determine the proportion recognized in the
period.
Dividend income is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established,
which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price inclusive of taxes etc. up to the date
the asset is ready for its intended use. Depreciation is provided under written down value method
at the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The
residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are
reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Gains or losses
arising from de-recognition of a property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognized.
Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation less
impairment loss, if any.
Other intangible assets, which comprise internally generated and acquired software used within
the Entityâs digital, home entertainment and internal accounting activities, are stated at cost less
amortisation less provision for impairment. The amortisation charge is recognized in the
Statement of profit and loss.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested
individually for impairment and some are tested at the cash generating unit level. All individual
assets or cash generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is
any indication of impairment based on external or internal factors. An impairment loss is
recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which
represents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their ''value in useâ.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market
transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share
prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
Film and content rights are stated at the lower of unamortized cost and estimated recoverable
amounts. In accordance with Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets, film content costs are assessed for
indication of impairment on a library basis as the nature of the Companyâs business, the contracts
it has in place and the markets it operates in do not yet make an ongoing individual film evaluation
feasible with reasonable certainty. Impairment losses on content advances are recognized when
film production does not seem viable and refund of the advance is not probable.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously
recognized may no longer exist.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost with any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss within
finance costs over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to
defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position
date.
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment loss on risk exposure arising from financial assets
like debt instruments measured at amortised cost e.g., trade receivables and deposits.
The Company follows ''simplified approachâ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade
receivables or contract revenue receivables. The application of simplified approach does not
require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at 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 a significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for
impairment loss.
However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period,
credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising 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 flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash
shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required
to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension,
call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases
when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is
required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
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 expensesâ in the Statement of profit and loss.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial
instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an
analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely
basis.
Inventories primarily comprise of books, film rights and are valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost in respect of goods for resale is defined as purchase price, including
appropriate labour costs and other overhead costs. Cost in respect of raw materials is purchase
price.
Purchase price is assigned using a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is defined as
anticipated selling price or anticipated revenue less cost to completion.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.
f. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on risk exposure arising from financial assets like debt instruments measured at amortised cost e.g., trade receivables and deposits.
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

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 flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
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.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Inventories primarily comprise of books, film rights and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost in respect of goods for resale is defined as purchase price, including appropriate labour costs and other overhead costs. Cost in respect of raw materials is purchase price.
Purchase price is assigned using a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is defined as anticipated selling price or anticipated revenue less cost to completion.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at Management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflect, 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.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-
monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Any exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
The Company''s functional currency and the presentation currency is same i.e. Indian Rupee ('')
Financial assets are divided into the following categories:
⢠financial assets carried at amortised cost
⢠financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
⢠Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss;
Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every reporting date at which a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available. Financial Assets like Investments in Subsidiaries are measured at Cost as allowed by Ind-AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements and hence are not fair valued.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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. These are non-derivative financial assets that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances) are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
In accordance with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments, the Company recognizes impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and content advances based on historically observed default rates. Impairment loss allowance recognized during the year is charged to Statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are non-derivative financial assets held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. It includes non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. Gains and losses arising from investments classified under this category is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss when they are sold or when the investment is impaired.
In the case of impairment, any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to the Statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in the Statement of profit and loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the Statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized previously on debt securities are reversed through the Statement of profit and loss when the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
When the Company considers that fair value of financial assets can be reliably measured, the fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Company applies its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment at the end of each reporting period.
An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at each balance sheet date.
A financial asset is derecognized only where the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred and that transfer qualifies for derecognition. A financial asset is transferred if the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset have been transferred or the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients. A financial asset that is transferred qualifies for derecognition if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, or if the Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership but does transfer control of that asset.
Financial liabilities are classified as either ''financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss'' or ''other financial liabilities''. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading such as a derivative, except for a designated and effective hedging instrument, or if upon initial recognition it is thus designated to eliminate or significantly reduce measurement or recognition inconsistency or it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and the contract is designated as fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising of held for trading financial liabilities are recognized in Statement of profit and loss. Such gains or losses incorporate any interest paid and are included in the "other gains and losses" line item.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowing and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
A financial liability is derecognized only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. Changes in liabilities'' fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in the Statement of profit and loss within finance costs or finance income.
Taxation on profit and loss comprises current tax and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income in which case tax impact is also recognized inequity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date along with any adjustment relating to tax payable in previous years.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Statement of profit and loss as current tax. MAT credit entitlement is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, which is the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. Such asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of ordinary shares, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be ant dilutive.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Deposits held with banks as security for overdraft facilities are included in restricted deposits held with bank.
Ind-AS 108 Operating Segments ("Ind-AS 108") requires operating segments to be identified on the same basis as is used internally for the review of performance and allocation of resources by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The revenues of films are earned over various formats; all such formats are functional activities of filmed entertainment and these activities take place on an integrated basis. The management team reviews the financial information on an integrated basis for the Company as a whole, with respective heads of business for each region and in accordance with Ind-AS 108, the Company provides a geographical split as it considers that all activities fall within one segment of business which is filmed entertainment.
The Company has identified one geographic markets - India
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.
q. Event occuring after the reporting date
Adjusting events (that provides evidence of condition that existed at the balance sheet date) occuring after the balance sheet date are recognised in the financial statements. Material nonadjusting events (that are inductive of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occuring after the balance sheet date that represents material change and commitment affecting the financial position are disclosed by way of notes in financial statements.
2. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, as described below, that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared and reviewed at each balance sheet date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that may require a material adjustment to the reported amounts and disclosures.
The Company is required to identify and assess the useful life of intangible assets and determine their income generating life. Judgment is required in determining this and then providing an amortisation rate to match this life as well as considering the recoverability or conversion of advances made in respect of securing film content or the services of talent associated with film production.
Accounting for the film content requires management''s judgment as it relates to total revenues to be received and costs to be incurred throughout the life of each film or its license period, whichever is the shorter. These judgments are used to determine the amortisation of capitalized film content costs.
The Company tests annually whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy. These calculations require judgments and estimates to be made, and in the event of an unforeseen event these judgments and assumptions would need to be revised and the value of the intangible assets could be affected. There may be instances where the useful life of an asset is shortened to reflect the uncertainty of its estimated income generating life.
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company''s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
d. Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cashgenerating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgment to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Since the cash outlfows can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible, but this is not always available. In that case management used the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm''s length transaction at the reporting date.

All values are rounded to the nearest rupees in lakhs, except where otherwise indicated. Amount in zero represent amount below one lakh rupees.
1. Significant accounting policiesa. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of sales related taxes, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, the product is delivered or services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
The following additional criteria apply in respect of various revenue streams within filmed entertainment:
DVD, CD and video distribution revenue is recognized on the date the product is delivered or if licensed in line with the revenue recognition criteria. Provision is made for physical returns where applicable. Digital and ancillary media revenues are recognized at the earlier of when the content is accessed or declared. Visual effects, production and other fees for services rendered by the Company and overhead recharges are recognized in the period in which they are earned and in certain cases, the stage of production is used to determine the proportion recognized in the period.
Dividend income is recognized when the Company''s right to receive the
payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.
b. Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price inclusive of taxes etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Depreciation is provided under straight line method at the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered as nil for calculation of depreciation.
Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization less impairment loss, if any.
Other intangible assets, which comprise internally generated and acquired software used within the Entity''s digital, home entertainment and internal accounting activities, are stated at cost less amortization less provision for impairment. The average life of the assets is the lesser of 5 years or the remaining life of the asset. The amortization charge is
d. Impairment of non-financial assets
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at the cash generating unit level. All individual assets or cash generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external or internal factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their ''value in use''.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share
prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
Film and content rights are stated at the lower of unamortized cost and estimated recoverable amounts. In accordance with Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets, film content costs are assessed for indication of impairment on a library basis as the nature of the Company''s business, the contracts it has in place and the markets it operates in do not yet make an ongoing individual film evaluation feasible with reasonable certainty. Impairment losses on content advances are recognized when film production does not seem viable and refund of the advance is not probable.
All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist.
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value recognized in the Statement of profit and loss within finance costs over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least
12 months after the statement of financial position date.
f. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on risk exposure arising from financial assets like debt instruments measured at amortized cost e.g., trade receivables and deposits.
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at 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 a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing 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 flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
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.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in
credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
Inventories primarily comprise of books, film rights and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost in respect of goods for resale is defined as purchase price, including appropriate labour costs and other overhead costs. Cost in respect of raw materials is purchase price.
Purchase price is assigned using a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is defined as anticipated selling price or anticipated revenue less cost to completion.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at Management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the statement of financial position date and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing rates of
exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Any exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
The Company''s functional currency and the presentation currency is same i.e., Indian Rupee ('').
Financial assets are divided into the following categories:
⢠financial assets carried at
amortized cost;
⢠financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive
income;
⢠Financial assets at fair value
through profit and loss;
Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every reporting date at which a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available. Financial Assets like Investments in Subsidiaries are measured at Cost as allowed by Ind-AS 27 - Separate Financial
Statements and hence are not fair valued.
k. Financial assets carried at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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. These are nonderivative financial assets that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances) are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
In accordance with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments, the Company recognizes impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and content advances based on historically observed default rates. Impairment loss allowance recognized during the
l. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are nonderivative financial assets held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
m. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. It includes nonderivative financial assets that are either designated as such or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. Gains and losses arising from investments classified under this category is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss when they are sold or when the investment is impaired.
In the case of impairment, any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to the Statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in the Statement of profit and loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the Statement of profit and loss.
Impairment losses recognized previously on debt securities are reversed through the Statement of profit and loss when the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
When the Company considers that fair value of financial assets can be reliably measured, the fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Company applies its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment at the end of each reporting period.
An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at each balance sheet date.
A financial asset is derecognized only where the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred and that transfer qualifies for de recognition. A financial asset is transferred if the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset have been transferred or the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to
one or more recipients. A financial asset that is transferred qualifies for de recognition if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, or if the Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership but does transfer control of that asset.
Financial liabilities are classified as either ''financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss'' or ''other financial liabilities''. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading such as a derivative, except for a designated and effective hedging instrument, or if upon initial recognition it is thus designated to eliminate or significantly reduce measurement or recognition inconsistency or it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and the contract is designated as fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising of held for trading financial liabilities are recognized in Statement of profit and loss. Such gains or losses incorporate any interest paid and are included in the "other gains and losses" line item.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowing and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
A financial liability is derecognized only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. Changes in liabilities'' fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in the Statement of profit and loss within finance costs or finance income.
Taxation on profit and loss comprises current tax and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income in which case tax impact is also recognized inequity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date along with any adjustment relating to tax payable in previous years.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Statement of profit and loss as current tax. MAT credit entitlement is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, which is the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. Such asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount
of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of ordinary shares, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be antidilutive.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Deposits held with banks as security for overdraft facilities are included in restricted deposits held with bank.
Ind-AS 108 Operating Segments ("Ind-AS 108") requires operating segments to be identified on the same basis as is used internally for the review of performance and allocation of resources by the Chief Operating
Decision Maker. The revenues of films are earned over various formats; all such formats are functional activities of filmed entertainment and these activities take place on an integrated basis. The management team reviews the financial information on an integrated basis for the Company as a whole, with respective heads of business for each region and in accordance with Ind-AS 108, the Company does not provide a geographical split as it considers that all activities fall within one segment of business which is filmed entertainment.
The Company has identified one geographic market - India.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.
t. Event occuring after the reporting date
Adjusting events (that provides evidence of condition that existed at the balance sheet date) occuring after the balance sheet date are recognised in the financial statements. Material non-adjusting events (that are inductive of conditions that arose subsequent to the balance sheet date) occuring after the balance sheet date that represents material change and commitment affecting the financial position are disclosed by way of notes in financial statements.
2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, as described below, that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared and reviewed at each balance sheet date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that may require a material adjustment to the reported amounts and disclosures.
The Company is required to identify and assess the useful life of intangible assets and determine their income generating life. Judgment is required in determining this and then providing an amortization rate to match this life as well as considering the recoverability or conversion of advances made in respect of securing film content or the services of talent associated with film production.
Accounting for the film content requires management''s judgment as it relates to total revenues to be received and costs to be incurred throughout the life of each film or its license period, whichever is the shorter. These judgments are used to determine the amortization of capitalized film content costs.
The Company tests annually whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy. These calculations require judgments and estimates to be made, and in the event of an unforeseen event these judgments and assumptions would need to be revised and the value of the intangible assets could be affected. There may be instances where the useful life of an asset is shortened to reflect the uncertainty of its estimated income generating life.
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of nonpayment.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company''s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation for future periods is
adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
d. Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment,
management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgment to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Since the cash outlfows can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how
market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible, but this is not always available. In that case management
used the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm''s length transaction at the reporting date.

1. Significant accounting policies
a. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of sales related taxes, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable, the product is delivered or services have been rendered and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.
The following additional criteria apply in respect of various revenue streams within filmed entertainment:
Books: Revenue is recognised when the goods are dispatched. Provision is made for physical returns where applicable.
Other - DVD, CD and video distribution revenue is recognized on the date the product is delivered or if licensed in line with the revenue recognition criteria. Provision is made for physical returns where applicable. Digital and ancillary media revenues are recognized at the earlier of when the content is accessed or declared. Visual effects, production and other fees for services rendered by the Company and overhead recharges are recognized in the period in which they are earned and in certain cases, the stage of production is used to determine the proportion recognized in the period.
Other income
Dividend income is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable.
b. Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price inclusive of taxes etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Depreciation is provided under straight line method at the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered as nil for calculation of depreciation.
c. Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation less impairment loss, if any.
Other intangible assets, which comprise internally generated and acquired software used within the Entityâs digital, home entertainment and internal accounting activities, are stated at cost less amortisation less provision for impairment. The average life of the assets is the lesser of 5 years or the remaining life of the asset. The amortisation charge is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
d. Impairment of non-financial assets
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at the cash generating unit level. All individual assets or cash generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on external or internal factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which represents the greater of the net selling price of assets and their âvalue in useâ.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
Film and content rights are stated at the lower of unamortized cost and estimated recoverable amounts. In accordance with Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets, film content costs are assessed for indication of impairment on a library basis as the nature of the Companyâs business, the contracts it has in place and the markets it operates in do not yet make an ongoing individual film evaluation feasible with reasonable certainty. Impairment losses on content advances are recognized when film production does not seem viable and refund of the advance is not probable. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist.
e. Borrowing costs
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value recognised in the Statement of profit and loss within finance costs over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the statement of financial position date.
f. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on risk exposure arising from financial assets like debt instruments measured at amortised cost e.g., trade receivables and deposits.
The Company follows âsimplified approachâ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at 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 a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising 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 flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider all contractual terms of the financial instrument(including prepayment, extension, call and similar options)over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument.
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 âother expensesâ in the Statement of profit and loss.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
g. Inventories
Inventories primarily comprise of books, film rights and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost in respect of goods for resale is defined as purchase price, including appropriate labour costs and other overhead costs. Cost in respect of raw materials is purchase price.
Purchase price is assigned using a weighted average basis. Net realizable value is defined as anticipated selling price or anticipated revenue less cost to completion.
h. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured at Managementâs best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the statement of financial position date and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Any exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
The Companyâs functional currency and the presentation currency is same i.e. Indian Rupee ('') Financial Assets
Financial assets are divided into the following categories:
- financial assets carried at amortised cost
- financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
- financial assets at fair value through profit and loss;
Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every reporting date at which a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available. Financial Assets like Investments in Subsidiaries are measured at Cost as allowed by Ind-AS 27 - Separate Financial Statements and hence are not fair valued.
Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset 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. These are non-derivative financial assets that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances) are measured subsequent to initial recognition at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value through impairment or reversal of impairment is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
In accordance with Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments, the Company recognizes impairment loss allowance on trade receivables and content advances based on historically observed default rates. Impairment loss allowance recognized during the year is charged to Statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are non-derivative financial assets held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. It includes non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. Gains and losses arising from investments classified under this category is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss when they are sold or when the investment is impaired.
In the case of impairment, any loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to the Statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized in the Statement of profit and loss on equity instruments are not reversed through the Statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses recognized previously on debt securities are reversed through the Statement of profit and loss when the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
When the Company considers that fair value of financial assets can be reliably measured, the fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Company applies its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at costless impairment at the end of each reporting period.
An assessment for impairment is undertaken at least at each balance sheet date.
A financial asset is derecognized only where the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or the financial asset is transferred and that transfer qualifies for derecognition. A financial asset is transferred if the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset have been transferred or the Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients. A financial asset that is transferred qualifies for derecognition if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, or if the Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership but does transfer control of that asset.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either âfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossâ or âother financial liabilitiesâ. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading such as a derivative, except for a designated and effective hedging instrument, or if upon initial recognition it is thus designated to eliminate or significantly reduce measurement or recognition inconsistency or it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and the contract is designated as fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value. Any gains or losses arising of held for trading financial liabilities are recognized in Statement of profit and loss. Such gains or losses incorporate any interest paid and are included in the âother gains and lossesâ line item.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowing and trade and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)through the expected life of the financial liability, or a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
A financial liability is derecognized only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. Changes in liabilitiesâ fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included in the Statement of profit and loss within finance costs or finance income.
m. Taxes
Taxation on profit and loss comprises current tax and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income in which case tax impact is also recognized inequity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid(or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted at the balance sheet date along with any adjustment relating to tax payable in previous years.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Statement of profit and loss as current tax. MAT credit entitlement is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, which is the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. Such asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.
n. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by considering the impact of the potential issuance of ordinary shares, on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period except where the results would be anti dilutive.
o. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Deposits held with banks as security for overdraft facilities are included in restricted deposits held with bank.
p. Segment reporting
Ind-AS 108 Operating Segments (âInd-AS 108â) requires operating segments to be identified on the same basis as is used internally for the review of performance and allocation of resources by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The revenues of films are earned over various formats; all such formats are functional activities of filmed entertainment and these activities take place on an integrated basis. The management team reviews the financial information on an integrated basis for the Company as a whole, with respective heads of business for each region and in accordance with Ind-AS 108, the Company provides a geographical split as it considers that all activities fall within one segment of business which is filmed entertainment.
The Company has identified one geographic markets- India
2. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, as described below, that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared and reviewed at each balance sheet date. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that may require a material adjustment to the reported amounts and disclosures.
a. Intangible Assets
The Company is required to identify and assess the useful life of intangible assets and determine their income generating life. Judgment is required in determining this and then providing an amortisation rate to match this life as well as considering the recoverability or conversion of advances made in respect of securing film content or the services of talent associated with film production.
Accounting for the film content requires managementâs judgment as it relates to total revenues to be received and costs to be incurred throughout the life of each film or its license period, whichever is the shorter. These judgments are used to determine the amortisation of capitalized film content costs.
The Company tests annually whether intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy. These calculations require judgments and estimates to be made, and in the event of an unforeseen event these judgments and assumptions would need to be revised and the value of the intangible assets could be affected. There may be instances where the useful life of an asset is shortened to reflect the uncertainty of its estimated income generating life.
