Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of past
events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be
reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is
determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an
outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

p) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker.

q) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term money market deposits with original
maturities of three months or less that is readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.

r) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally
through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non¬
current asset is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year
from the date of classification as held for sale. These are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for
sale.

Non-current assets that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount
before the non-current asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its
recoverable amount at the date when it no longer meets the “held for sale” criteria.

s) Events occurring after the balance sheet date

All material events occurring after the balance sheet date upto the date of approval of financial statements by the
