These financial statements include Balance sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash flows and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and comparative information in respect of the preceding year.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (IND AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for the following:
-Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) that is measured at fair value.
-Defined benefit plans- plan assets measured at fair value
The financial statements (except for Statement of Cash Flow) are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in Division II - Ind AS Schedule III (“Schedule III”) to the Companies Act, 2013.
The Statement of Cash Flow has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash flows”.
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 Indian Rupee (“INR”)
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IND AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed at appropriate places.
Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
The said estimates are based on the fact and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting date.
3. Current versus Non-Current classification
The Company’s normal operating cycle in respect of operations relating to the construction of real estate projects may vary from project to project depending upon the size of the project, type of development, project complexities and related approvals. Operating cycle for all completed projects is based on 12 months period. Assets and liabilities have been classified into current and non-current based on their respective operating cycle.
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
> Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
> Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
> Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
> 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.
Trade receivables which are expected to be realized within 12 months from the reporting date shall be classified as current. Outstanding more than 12 months shall be shown as noncurrent only unless efforts for its recovery have been made and it is likely that payment shall be received within 12 months from the reporting date.
A liability is current when:
> It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
> It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
> It is 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
A payable shall be classified as Trade Payable if it is in respect of the amount due on account of goods purchased or services received in the normal course of business.
Trade payables which are expected to be settled within 12 months from the reporting date shall be shown as current.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current
4. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Escalation and other claims, which are not ascertainable /acknowledged by customers, are not taken into account. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Criteria for recognition of revenue are as under
• The Company recognizes revenue, on execution of agreement or letter of allotment and when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at an amount that reflects the consideration (i.e. the transaction price) to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services excluding any amount received on behalf of third party (such as indirect taxes). An asset created by the Company’s performance does not have an alternate use and as per the terms of the contract, the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed till date. Hence the Company transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. The Company recognizes revenue at the transaction price which is determined on the basis of agreement or letter of allotment entered into with the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for performance obligation satisfied over time only if it can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company would not be able to reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation if it lacks reliable information that would be required to apply an appropriate method of measuring progress. In those circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue only to the extent of cost incurred until it can reasonably measure outcome of the performance obligation.
The Company uses cost based input method for measuring progress for performance obligation satisfied over time. Under this method, the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the actual project cost incurred (excluding land cost) as against the total estimated project cost (excluding land cost).
The management reviews and revises its measure of progress periodically and are considered as change in estimates and accordingly, the effect of such changes in estimates is recognized prospectively in the period in which such changes are determined.
A receivable represents the Companies right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due.
Incomplete projects are carried as construction work in process Land cost includes the cost of land, land related development rights and premium.
Effect of increase /decrease in inventories of finished goods, stock in trade and work in progress is separately shown under “Expenses”.
• Interest Income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
• Profit/Loss from Partnership firm
Share of Profit/Loss from Partnership firm is accounted in respect of the financial year of the firm ending on or before the balance sheet date on the basis of their audited/unaudited accounts as the case may be.
• Dividend income
Revenue is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
• Rental and Other Income
Other incomes are accounted on accrual basis as and when they are earned.
5. Employee benefits Short-term obligations
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. These are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Post - employment obligations i.e.i. Defined contribution plans
Retirement benefits in the form of contribution to provident fund and pension fund are charged to the statement of profit and loss in the period of incurrence when the services are rendered by the employees.
ii. Defined benefit plans
Gratuity is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. Provision for gratuity is calculated on the basis of actuarial valuations carried out at reporting date and is charged to the statement of profit and loss. The actuarial valuation is computed using the projected unit credit method.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
6. Income taxesi. Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities using the tax rates and tax laws that are in force at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit 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 deferred tax assets is reviewed at 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 tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss. Such deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
iii. Minimum Alternate tax (MAT)
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax for the year. The deferred tax asset is recognized for MAT credit available only to the extent that it is probable that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The Company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
7. Property, plant and equipment
PPE is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can measured reliably.
Freehold land is carried at historical cost.
All other items of Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items until they are ready for use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized 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.
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition / construction / development of tangible assets, which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
PPE not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance sheet is disclosed as “Capital Work-InProgress” and carried at cost, less impairment losses, if any Cost companies of directly attributable costs and related incidental expenses.
Depreciation methods / estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is provided on pro rata basis on Written Down Value Method over the estimated useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the assets where the useful life is different based upon the technical evaluation done by the management’s Expert, in order to reflect the actual usage of the assets. The estimates of the useful life of assets are as follows:

The assets residual values and useful life are reviewed by the management at the end of each reporting period. The asset carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation method, useful life and residual value are reviewed periodically.
Leasehold land and improvements are amortized on the basis of duration and other terms of lease.
The carrying amount of PPE is reviewed periodically for impairment based on internal / external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Such Intangible Assets acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of such assets.
All intangible assets with definite useful life are amortized over the estimated useful lives.
8. Investment properties Recognition and initial measurement
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent value who holds a recognized and relevant professional qualification and has experience in the category of the investment property being valued.
The carrying amount of Investment Property is reviewed periodically for impairment based on internal/ external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use.
De-recognition
Investment properties are derecognized either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period of de-recognition.
9. Non-current assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as ‘Held For Sale’ if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use and sale is highly probable i.e. actions required to complete the sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Non-current assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.
10. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether these is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted market prices or other available fair value indicators.
11. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition / construction of qualifying assets or for long - term project development are capitalized as part of their costs.
Borrowing costs are considered as part of the asset cost when the activities that are necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are in progress.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense, in the period in which they are incurred.
12. Segment reporting
Based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108 - Operating Segments, the Chairman and Managing Director / Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segment. Segment revenue and expense include amounts which can be directly attributable to the segment and allocable on reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities are assets / liabilities which are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Income / expenses / assets / liabilities relating to the enterprise as a whole and not allocable on a reasonable basis to business segments are reflected as unallocated income / expenses / assets / liabilities.
Operating segments identified are as follows:
i. Construction and Contract Related Activity
ii. Estate Dealing and Development Activity
13. Earnings per share
The Company’s Earning per Share (EPS) is determined based on the net profit attributable to the Shareholder’s of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares
14. Inventories Construction materials
The construction materials and consumables not separately valued. It is treated as part of project cost on purchase for a particular project. Project work in progress is accordingly valued.
Construction work in progress
The construction work in progress is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Work in Progress in respect of tenement of Flats/shops booked valued at proportionate sale value)
Cost includes cost of land, development rights, rates and taxes, construction costs, borrowing costs, other direct expenditure, allocated overheads and other incidental expenses. Further, the development cost incurred on inventories are directly debited to Current Assets and the proportionate amount relating to sale is passed through profit and loss account at the time of sale.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Finished stock of completed projects (ready units)
Finished stock of completed projects and stock in trade of units is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value.
Estate Dealing /development activity
At cost including attributable development expenses or net realizable value whichever is less.
Transfer of Development Rights
Self-generated TDR is valued at stipulated percentage of cost of area in respect of which TDR is generated. TDR purchased is valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower.
15. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Other Litigation claims Provision for litigation related obligations represents liabilities that are expected materialize in respect of matters in appeal.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that have risen from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise, or is a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because either it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is generally neither recognized nor disclosed.
A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower expected costs of terminating the contract and the expected cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes impairment on the assets with the contract.
16. Leases
(i) Finance leases: Assets taken on lease are classified as Finance lease if the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets. Assets under finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.
(ii) Operating leases: Assets taken on lease which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases. Lease payments for assets taken on operating lease are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where the lease payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Assets leased out under operating leases are presented separately under the respective class of assets. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
17. Dividends to equity holders
The Company recognizes a liability to make distributions to its equity holder when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company, as per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.
Dividends paid/payable are recognized in the year in which the related dividends are approved by the Shareholders or Board of Directors as appropriate.
18. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using effective interest method except for financial assets carried at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Equity investments in Subsidiaries and Associates:
The Company accounts for its investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and other equity investments in subsidiary companies at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27- ‘Separate Financial Statements’:
Equity investments (other than investments in subsidiaries and associates)
All equity investments falling within the scope of Ind-AS 109 are mandatorily measured at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) with all fair value changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company has an irrevocable option of designating certain equity instruments as FVOCI. Option of designating instruments as FVOCI is done on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification made on initial recognition is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as FVOCI, the all fair value changes on the instrument are recognized in Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (SOCI). Amounts from SOCI are not subsequently transferred to profit and loss, even on sale of investment.
De-recognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on financial assets:
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual agreements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade, other payables and loans and borrowings.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Method (EIR) method except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Financial liabilities recognized at FVTPL, including derivatives, are subsequently measured at fair value. For trade and other payables maturing within operating cycle, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity or these instruments.
De-recognition
A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company’s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Re-classification of financial instruments
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets, such as equity instruments designated at FVTPL or FVOCI and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets.
18.3 Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value on initial recognition and uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
* In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
* In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
19. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, short-term deposits, as defined above, and liquid funds as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management process.
