i) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, which is expected to result in an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits which can be reliably estimated. Each provision is based on the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. When appropriate, provisions are measured on a discounted basis Constructive obligation is an obligation that derives from an entity's actions where:
(a) by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current statement, the entity has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and
(b) As a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Contingent liabilities are recognized disclosed in the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial assets
j) Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The estimated useful lives for the main categories of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets are:
(i) Factory building - 30 years
(ii) Building (others) - 30 to 60 years.
(iii) Roads and pathways - 10 to 20 years
(iv) Plant and equipment - 6 to 20 years
(v) Furniture and fixtures - 10 years
(vi) Office equipment - 5 to 15 years
(vii) Vehicles - 5 years
(viii) Computer (including software) - 5 years
k) Financial liabilities and equity instruments Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial Liabilities
Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.Interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between theproceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognized over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the Company's accounting policy for borrowing cost
De-recognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. The instrumentsare confined principally to forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps. The instruments are employed as hedges of transactions included in the accounts or for highly probableforecast transactions/ firm contractual commitments. These derivatives contracts do not generally extend beyond 12 months, except for certain interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps.
In cases where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they arise. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedginginstrument recognized in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is transferred tothe Statement of Profit and Loss for the period.Certain components, such as terms and conditions, embedded in financial instruments or other hosts contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and carried at fair value. These components are separatelyaccounted for when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract, the host contract itself is not carried at fair value with gains or losses reported in the Statement of Profit andLoss, and where a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded component would itself meet the definition of a derivative.
Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value from the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair Values for forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps are marked to market at the end of each reporting period. The Company adopts hedge accounting for forward and interest rate contracts wherever possible. At the inception of each hedge, there is a formal, documented designation of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes, inter alia, items such as identification of the hedged item or transaction and the Nature of the risk being hedged. At inception each hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving an offset of changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The effectiveness of hedge Instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at the inception and on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of designated hedges are recognized immediately In the Statement of Profit and Loss. When hedge accounting is applied: For fair value hedges of recognized assets and liabilities, changes in fair value of the hedged assets and liabilities attributable to the risk being hedged, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Compensate for the effective portion the symmetrical changes in the fair value of the derivative.
l) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The Company did not have any Potentially dilutive securities in any of the periods presented. For the purpose of calculation diluted EPS the net profit loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.
