MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES INFORMATION
The accounting policies applied are consistent with prior year except as stated in Note 4.
Property, plant and equipment
Owned assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is provided on straight line method at the rates given in schedule of property, plant and equipment and charged to statement of profit or loss to write off the depreciable amount of each asset at the rates specified in the Note 6.
Depreciation on additions is charged from the day it becomes available for use, and assets are depreciated till the date of disposal. Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to unconsolidated statement of profit or loss, while major renewals and improvements are capitalized.
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.
Disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the unconsolidated statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes 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 recognized, 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 or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Estimate
Estimates with respect to residual values, depreciable lives and pattern of flow of economic benefits are based on the analysis of the management of the Company. Further, the management reviews the value of the assets for possible impairments on an annual basis. Any change in the estimates in the future might affect the carrying amount of respective item of property and equipment, with a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Company's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the carrying amounts of such assets are reviewed to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amount. Where carrying values exceed the respective recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts and the resulting impairment is recognized as expense. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value in use. Where an impairment loss is charged, the depreciation charge is adjusted for the future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount over its estimated useful life.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rates implicit in the leases are 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. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonable certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company has several lease options that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factor that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal or termination. After the commencement period, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases, if any (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 that are of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is charged to statement of profit or loss applying the straight line basis over its normal useful life as specified in Note 7. Amortization is charged to statement of profit or loss on time proportion basis for addition or deletion during the year. Gains and losses on disposal of assets are included in statement of profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents in the unconslidated statement of financial position comprise cash in hand and cash at bank as specified in Note 9 that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and cash at banks defined above. Term deposit receipts are not included in cash and cash equivalents as they are not held for cash management purposes.
Stock in trade, stores and spares
Stock in trade, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value except those in transit, which are valued at invoice value including other charges, if any, incurred thereon. Basis of determining cost is as follows:
Cost has been determined as follows:
Raw and packing material - weighted average cost
Material in transit - actual cost
Work in process - weighted average cost
Finished goods - weighted average cost
Stores and spares - weighted average cost
Items considered obsolete are carried at nil value. Impairment allowance for obsolete and slow moving inventory is based on management estimates of usage in normal business operations. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of estimated selling price of the product in the ordinary course of business less costs of completion and costs necessary to be incurred in order to make the sale.
Trade debts
Trade debts and other receivables are carried at original invoice amount. Provision is made for debts considered doubtful of recovery based on expected credit loss (ECL) model of IFRS 9 and debts considered irrecoverable are written off as and when identified. Receivable are generally due within 30 to 90 days of satisfaction of performance obligation.
Allowance for expected credit losses of trade debts
The Company assesses the impairment of its financial assets based on the Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") model. Under the ECL model, the Company accounts for ECL and changes in those ECL at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the financial assets. The Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL for its financial instruments.
The Company measures the ECL of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
the time value of money, if applicable; and
