j. Provisions & Contingencies
A provision is recognized when the company has
a present obligation as a result of 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. Provisions are not discounted
to their present value and are determined based on
the best estimate required to settle the obligation at
the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at
each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates.
k. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises
from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events beyond the control of the
company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent
liability also arises in extremely rare cases where
there is a liability that cannot be recognized because
it cannot be measured reliably. The company does
not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its
existence in the financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash
flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and
short-term investments with an original maturity of

⢠Expected to be realised within twelve months
after the reporting period, or
⢠Cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from

All other assets are classified as non-current
A liability is treated as current when it is:
⢠Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
⢠Held primarily for the purpose of trading
⢠Due to be settled within twelve months after the
reporting period, or
⢠There is no unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets/liabilities are classified as non¬
