Accounting Policies of Prakash Pipes Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance
with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified
under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the
Act'') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, and
presentation requirements of Schedule III to the Act
under the historical cost convention on accrual basis
except for certain financial instruments which are
measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied
except where a newly issued accounting standard is
initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting
standard requires a change in the accounting policy
hitherto in use.

The financial statements are presented in INR, which is
also the Company''s functional currency and all values
are rounded to the nearest lakhs (C00,000), except
when otherwise indicated.

All assets and liabilities, other than deferred tax assets
and liabilities, have been classified as current or non¬
current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle
and other criteria set out in the Schedule III (Division
II) to the Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
classified as non-current assets and liabilities. Based
on the nature of products and the time between
the acquisition of assets for processing and their
realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company
has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months
for current and non-current classification of assets
and liabilities.

2.2 Critical accounting judgements and key
sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with the Ind AS requires management to
make judgements, estimates and assumptions that

affect the application of accounting policies and the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures
as at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of the revenues and expenses for
the years presented. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and
other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions and conditions.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period
or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical Judgements In the process of applying the
Company''s accounting policies, management has
made the following judgements, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognized in the
financial statements:

Discount rate used to determine the carrying amount
of the Company''s defined benefit obligation: In

determining the appropriate discount rate for plans
operated in India, the management considers the
interest rates of government bonds in currencies
consistent with the currencies of the post-employment
benefit obligation.

Contingences and commitments: In the normal
course of business, contingent liabilities may arise
from litigations and other claims against the Company.
Where the potential liabilities have a low probability
of crystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably,
company treats them as contingent liabilities. Such
liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided
for in the financial statements. Although there can be
no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal
proceedings, company does not expect them to have
a materially adverse impact on the financial position
or profitability.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of
the reporting period, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are
discussed below:

Income taxes: The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India.
Significant judgments are involved in determining the
provision for income taxes, including amount expected
to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:

As described in note 2.7, the Company reviews

the estimated useful lives and residual values of
property, plant and equipment at the end of each
reporting period. During the current financial year, the
management determined that there were no changes
to the useful lives and residual values of the property,
plant and equipment.

Allowances for doubtful debts: The Company makes
allowances for doubtful debts based on an assessment
of the recoverability of trade and other receivables.
The identification of doubtful debts requires use of
judgement and estimates.

2.3 Operating Cycle and Current versus non¬
current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in
the balance sheet based on current/ non-current
classification in accordance with Part-I of Division- II
of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition
of assets for processing and their realization in cash
and cash equivalents. The Company has identified
twelve months as its normal operating cycle.

An asset is treated as current when it (a) Expected to be
realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal
operating cycle; (b) Held primarily for the purpose of
trading; or (c) Expected to be realised within twelve
months after the reporting period, or (d) The asset is
cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period. All other assets are
classified as non-current.

A liability is current when (a) It is expected to be settled
in normal operating cycle; or (b) It is held primarily for
the purpose of trading; or (c) It is due to be settled within
twelve months after the reporting period, or (d) There
is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of
the counterparty, results in its settlement by the issue of
equity instruments do not affect its classification. The
Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

2.4 Revenue recognition
Revenue

The Company manufactures and sells a range of
PVC pipes & fittings and packaging products. The
disclosures of significant accounting judgments,
estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from
contracts with customers are provided below.

Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognised when
control of the products has transferred, being when
the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery
occurs when the products have been delivered to the

specific location as the case may be, the risks of loss
has been transferred, and either the customer has
accepted the products in accordance with the sales
contract, or the Company has objective evidence that
all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Sale of
products include related ancillary services, if any.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the
price specified in the contract, net of the estimated
trade discounts. Accumulated experience is used
to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the
most likely method, and revenue is only recognised
to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal will not occur.

No element of financing is deemed present as the
sales are generally made with a credit term of 30¬
90 days, which is consistent with market practice.
Any obligation to provide a refund is recognised
as a provision. A receivable is recognised when the
goods are delivered as this is the point in time that
the consideration is unconditional because only the
passage of time is required before the payment is due.
The Company does not have any contracts where the
period between the transfer of the promised goods or
services to the customer and payment by the customer
exceeds one year.

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference
to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest
rate applicable.

Dividends

Dividend income from investments is recognised
when the Company''s right to receive the payment
is established, which is generally when shareholders
approve the dividend.

2.5 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of
an enterprise for which discrete financial information
is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief
Financial Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources
and assessing performance. Thus, the Company''s
business falls under two operational segments i.e. PVC
pipes & fittings and Flexible Packaging.

Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment
assets and segment liabilities have been identified
to segments on the basis of their relationship to the
operating activities of the segment. Inter segment
revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions
which are primarily determined based on market / fair
value factors. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities
which relate to the Company as a whole and are not
allocable to segments on a reasonable basis have
been included under “unallocated revenue / expenses
/ assets / liabilities".

2.6 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognized where
there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will
be received and the company will comply with all
applicable conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred
and recognized in the profit or loss over the period
necessary to match them with the costs that they
are intended to compensate and presented within
other income.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property,
plant and equipment are included in non-current
liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit
or loss on a straight line basis over the expected live of
the related assets and presented within other income.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are initially
recognised at cost. The initial cost of PPE comprises its
purchase price, including non-refundable duties and
taxes net of any trade discounts and rebates. The cost
of PPE includes interest on borrowings (borrowing
cost) directly attributable to acquisition, construction
or production of qualifying assets subsequent to initial
recognition, PPE are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation (other than freehold land, which are
stated at cost) and impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s
carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any
component accounted for as a separate asset is
derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the
reporting period in which they are incurred.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over
their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned
assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty
that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease
term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the
lease term and useful lives.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost
of assets (other than freehold land and capital work in
progress) less their residual values over the useful lives,
using the straight- line method (“SLM") in the manner
prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. Management
believes based on a technical evaluation (which is
based on technical advice, taking into account the
nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset,
the operating conditions of the asset, past history
of replacement, anticipated technological changes,
manufacturers warranties and maintenance support,

etc.) that the useful lives of the assets as considered
by the company reflect the periods over which these
assets are expected to be used.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment
are reviewed for impairment when events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation
method are reviewed at each financial year-end
to ensure that the amount, method and period of
depreciation are consistent with previous estimates
and the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the items of property,
plant and equipment.

2.8 Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress are carried at cost,
comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses
and attributable borrowing cost.

2.9 Impairment of PPE :

Property, plant and equipment 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.

I f 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.

2.10Income tax

I ncome 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 recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except
when they relate to items that are recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
in which case, the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity, respectively.

Current tax: Current tax is measured at the amount
of tax expected to be payable on the taxable income
for the year as determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current tax
assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized

amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset
and the liability on a net basis.

Deferred tax: Deferred income tax is recognized using
the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are recognised 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 tax assets are recognised only to the extent
that it is probable that either future taxable profits
or reversal of deferred tax liabilities 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 a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of 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
the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period and are expected to apply when the related
deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability
is settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to set current
tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax
balances relate to the same taxation authority.

2.11 Operating Leases Including Investment
Properties

The Company assesses at contract inception whether
a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

As a lessee

a) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at
the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the
date the underlying asset is available for use).
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less
any accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of
lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets
includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised,
initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments
made at or before the commencement date less
any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful
lives of the assets.

I f ownership of the leased asset transfers to the
Company at the end of the lease term or the
cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option,
depreciation is calculated using the estimated
useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to
impairment. Refer to note 2.9 for accounting
policies on impairment of non financial assets.

b) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the
Company recognises lease liabilities measured at
the present value of lease payments to be made
over the lease term. The lease payments primarily
comprise of fixed payments.

In calculating the present value of lease payments,
the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate
at the lease commencement date because the
interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable. After the commencement date, the
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect
the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease
payments made.

c) Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease
recognition exemption to its short-term leases of
office spaces and certain equipment (i.e. those
leases that have a lease term of 12 months or
less from the commencement date and do not
contain a purchase option). It also applies the
lease of low-value assets recognition exemption
to leases of office equipment that are considered
to be low value. Lease payments on short¬
term leases and leases of low-value assets are
recognised as expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.

As a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an asset are classified as operating
leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on
a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
an operating lease are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset and recognised over
the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash
on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions,
other short-term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and

which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

2. Significant Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, and presentation requirements of Schedule III to the Act under the historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

The financial statements are presented in ?, which is also the Company''s functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest lakh (? 00,000), except when otherwise indicated.

All assets and liabilities, other than deferred tax assets and liabilities, have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III (Division II) to the Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

2.2 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and

disclosures as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses for the years presented. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical Judgements In the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Discount rate used to determine the carrying amount of the Company''s defined benefit obligation: In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.

Contingences and commitments: In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the Company. Where the potential liabilities have a low probability of crystallizing or are very difficult to quantify reliably, company treats them as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements. Although there can be no assurance regarding the final outcome of the legal proceedings, company does not expect them to have a materially adverse impact on the financial position or profitability.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Income taxes: The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid / recovered for uncertain tax positions.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment:

As described in note 2.7, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. During the current financial year, the management determined that there were no

changes to the useful lives and residual values of the property, plant and equipment.

Allowances for doubtful debts: The Company makes allowances for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables. The identification of doubtful debts requires use of judgement and estimates.

2.3 Operating Cycle and Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification in accordance with Part-I of Division-II of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its normal operating cycle.

An asset is treated as current when it (a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; (b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading; or (c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or (d) The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when (a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; or (b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or (c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or (d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, results in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification. The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

2.4 Revenue recognition Revenue

The Company manufactures and sells a range of PVC pipes & fittings and packaging products. The disclosures of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided below.

Sale of products

Revenue from sale of products is recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been delivered to the specific location as the case may be, the risks of loss has been transferred, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective

evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. Sale of products include related ancillary services, if any.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated trade discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the most likely method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are generally made with a credit term of 3090 days, which is consistent with market practice. Any obligation to provide a refund is recognised as a provision. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. The Company does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year.

Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Dividends

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Company''s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

2.5 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Financial Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. Thus, the Company''s business falls under two operational segments i.e. PVC pipes & fittings and Flexible Packaging.

Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Inter segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities”.

2.6 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognized where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the company will comply with all applicable conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected live of the related assets and presented within other income.

2.7 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are initially recognised at cost. The initial cost of PPE comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable duties and taxes net of any trade discounts and rebates. The cost of PPE includes interest on borrowings (borrowing cost) directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets subsequent to initial recognition, PPE are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (other than freehold land, which are stated at cost) and impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and useful lives.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and capital work in progress) less their residual values over the useful lives, using the straight- line method ("SLM”) in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. Management believes based on a technical evaluation (which is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.) that the useful lives of the assets as considered by the company reflect the periods over which these assets are expected to be used.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.

2.8 Capital work-in-progress

Capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable borrowing cost.

2.9 Impairment of PPE:

Property, plant and equipment 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 cashgenerating 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.

2.10Income tax

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 recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax: Current tax is measured at the amount of tax expected to be payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

Deferred tax: Deferred income tax is recognized using the Balance Sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised 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 tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that either future taxable profits or reversal of deferred tax liabilities 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 a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of 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 the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

2.11 Operating Leases Including Investment Properties

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

As a lessee

a) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to note 2.9 for accounting policies on impairment of non financial assets.

b) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments primarily comprise of fixed payments.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.

c) Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of office spaces and certain equipment (i.e. those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.

As a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
