2.13 Provisions
"A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation Legal or Constructive that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. These estimates are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost."
2.14 Segment Reporting
The Company operates in a single segment only i.e Film Distribution and Dubbing. Thus, in the context of Ind AS 108 "Operating Segment”, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, there is only one identified reportable segment.
2.15 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/ loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of diluted potential equity shares, if any.
2.16 Contingent Liabilities and Assets
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. Contingent Assets are not disclosed in the Financial Statements.
2.17 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial Assets
"Initial recognition and measurement:
All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs of acquisition of financial assets carried at Fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of profit and loss. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition and subsequent measurements, as financial assets at fair value or as financial assets measured at amortised cost."
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost less impairment, if the objective of the company's business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows.
Impairment of financial assets:
All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs of acquisition of financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of Financial Assets
In accordance with Ind-As 109, the company uses "Expected Credit Losses (ECL)" model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL).
Expected credit losses are measured through as loss allowance at an amount equal to:
The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instruments that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument)
The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flow that are due to an entity 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 effective interest rate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable factors including that which are forward-looking.
For trade receivable company applies 'Simplified approach' which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward looking estimates are analysed.
For other assets, the Company uses 12 months ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.
Financial liabilities
1) Initial recognition and measurement
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.
2) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
3) Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value through Profit and loss.
"Derecognition of Financial Instruments:
The company derecognises 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 derecognition under Ind AS 109. A Financial Liability (or part of Financial Liability) is derecognised 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 offsetted 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."
2.19 Fair Value Measurement
"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.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
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 measurementisunobservable. 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 year."
3 Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The Preparation of Company's financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in next financial years.
a. Determination of the estimated useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets:
Estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Property, Plant and Equipment/Intangible Assets are depreciated/ amortised over their estimated useful life, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful life and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation/amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful life and residual values are based on the Company's historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation/ amortisation for further period is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
b. Recoverability of Trade Receivables:
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required or not. Factors considered include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
c. Provisions:
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgements to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amount of provisions and liabilitie s are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
d. Recognition Defined benefit plans:
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation, actuarial rates and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
e. Application of Discount rates:
Estimates of rates of discounting are done for measurement of fair values of certain financial assets and liabilitie s, which are based on prevalent bank interest rates and the same are subject to change.
f. Current versus non-current classification:
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the company's normal operating cycle of twelve months and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
g. Impairment of financial assets:
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
h. Impairment of non-financial assets:
The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. The impairment provision for of non-financial assets company estimates asset's recoverable amount, which is higher of an asset's or Cash Generating Units (CGU's) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using 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 evaluation model is used.
i. Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses for which there is probability of utilisation against the future taxable profit. The Company uses judgement to determine the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and business developments.
j. Recent pronouncements
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31st March, 2025, MCA has notified Ind AS - 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 - Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.
(i) Securities premium account
Securities premium account is created when shares are issued at premium. The Company may issue fully paid-up Bonus shares to its members out of the Securities premium account. As per section 52 (2) (e) of the Companies Act, 2013, Securities premium account can be used for buy back of shares.
(ii) General reserve
General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings fro appropriation purposes. General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other
(iii) Retained Earnings
Retained earning are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfer to General Reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to the shareholders.
33 The existing business of the company is to purchase distribution rights of various Films / Web Series for a fixed period of time commonly referred to as the Licence period based on the documents/agreement entered with the Licensor, dubbing it in various Regional languages and making it available across various channels/OTT.
However, there has been a substantial change in the business model of the company. Earlier the distribution rights for these Films were given to various channels for telecasting / Release for a fixed tenure. Based on the same the Inventory valuation method for Films was designed wherein the Inventory of Films was valued at 100% of the cost during the tenure of first Release of the Film. Subsequently on return of the Distribution rights post 1st Release the valuation was done at 50% of cost, post 2nd Release the valuation was done at 30% of the cost and post 3rd release at 10% of cost. There was also an exception to this policy wherein if the Distribution Rights expires before either of the Release, the Closing Stock is valued at NIL cost. Further if the Distribution Rights is not sold even once during 5 years from the date of purchase the Inventory valuation was done at 30% of the cost.
However with the ever changing technology, the change in viewership from television channels to OTT, excessive use of Mobile for watching movies, shows , news etc and the advent of OTT channels like Netpix, Amazon, etc and almost every Television channel providing OTT content the business model of the company has also undergone a change wherein the company established its own OTT platform namely VROTT and all the Movies, series etc were made available on the OTT platform to create content thereby requiring a change in the Inventory Valuation policy followed by the company .
Thus the management has decided to change the current method of Inventory for the distribution rights of Films based over the Licence period of the Films thereby bring it at par with the existing method of Inventory valuation being done for the Net series. Thus the closing stock of inventory of Films is being valued on pro-rata basis from the current year over the tenure of the Licence period of the distribution rights of Films.
38 Fair value disclosures
38.1 The company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
The categories used are as follows:
• Level 1: This hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds, ETFs and mutual funds that have quoted price. ;
• Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; and
• Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
39 Financial instruments and risk management
39.1 Capital management

39.2 Financial Risk Management- Objectives And Policies
The company's activities exposes it to variety of financial risk viz. credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The company has various financial assets such as deposits, Loans & Advances, trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances directly related to their business operations. The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables. The company's senior management focus is to foresee the unpredictability and minimise the potential adverse effects on the company's financial performance. The company's overall risk, management procedures to minimize the potential adverse effect of the financial market on the company's performance are as follows:
39.3 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
A Trade Receivables:
Trade receivables of the Company are generally unsecured. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business through internal evaluation. The allowance for impairment of trade receivables is created to the extent and as and when required, based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivables. The Company has no concentration of credit risk as the customer base is geographically distributed in India.
B Cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits
Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is managed by only accepting highly rated banks and diversifying bank deposits and accounts in different banks across the country.
C Other financial assets measured at amortised cost
Other financial assets measured at amortised cost includes loans and advances, security deposits and others. Credit risk related to these other financial assets is managed by monitoring the recoverability of such amounts continuously and is based on the credit worthiness of those parties.
Provision for expected credit losses
a) Expected credit losses for financial assets other than trade receivables
The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature.
b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach
The Company recognizes lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables using a simplified approach, wherein Company has defined percentage of provision by analyzing historical trend of default and such provision percentage determined have been considered to recognize life time expected credit losses on trade receivables (other than those where default criteria are met in which case the full expected loss against the amount recoverable is provided for). Based on such simplified approach,no allowance has been recognised.
39.4 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of directors, which has an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities by regularly monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

The company is not exposed to other price risk whereas the exposure to currency risk and interest risk is given below:
A Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. It arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered in foreign currencies.
A.1 Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved board policy parameters. Quarterly reports are submitted to Board of Directors on the unhedged foreign currency exposures.
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows.
40.1 Defined Contribution Plans :
The Company participates in Provident fund as defined contribution plans on behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense recognised in relation to provident fund represents the value of contributions payable during the period by the Company at rates specified by the rules of provident fund.
(a) Providend fund and pension
In accordance with the Employee's Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary. The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the provident fund administered and managed by Government of India (GOI). The Company has no further obligations under the fund managed by the GOI beyond its monthly contributions which are charged to the statement of Profit and Loss in the period they are incurred. The benefits are paid to employees on their retirement or resignation from the Company.

40.2 Defined Benefit Plans :
Gratuity
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering all employees. The plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement or at death while in employment or on termination of the employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary, as applicable, payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out for the year ended 31st March, 2025 by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
(K) Sensitivity Analysis
The Sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the lied assumptions in isolation. While each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation presented above. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in the preparation of the Sensitivity Analysis from previous year.
