Provisions are recognized 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 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. Provisions are not
recognized for future operating losses.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, 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 Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where
it is either not probable that an outflow or resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the
amount cannot be made. Where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure as
specified in Ind AS-37 “Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets” is made.

M. Employee Benefits:

i) Short-term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are

the amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

ii) Post-employment obligations:

There are no post-employment benefit plans such as gratuity and defined contribution plans such as

- The profit attributable to owners of the Company

into account:

- The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity
shares and

- The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming
the conversion of all dilute potential equity shares.

O. Statement of Cash Flows:

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit/(loss) for the year is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts
or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.

hand, cash at banks, other short term deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturity of three
months or less that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.
