A financial asset is 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. For trade receivables

and other financial assets maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

1.15 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures.

Depreciation / amortisation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment/ intangible assets:

Property, plant and equipment / intangible assets are depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account estimated residual value.

The depreciation / amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Provision for product warranty

The Company recognizes provision for product warranties in respect of its products that it sells. Provisions are discounted, where necessary to its present value based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjust to reflect the current best estimates.

Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19

The Management has made the assessment of possible impact of Covid 19 on its liquidity, recoverable values of its financial & non-financial assets and has concluded that there are no significant adjustments required in the financial statement. Further, the Management will continue to closely monitor the developments and possible impact, if any, on its financial condition, liquidity and operations due to Covid 19.
