Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and debrciated in accordance with the policies stated for Fixed Assets 14 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists. The intangible assets are tested for impairment each financial year even if there is no indication that the asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of the assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their brsent value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was brviously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets such reversal is not recognised. 15 PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENCIES A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a brsent obligation as a result of past event, that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made.

These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. When no reliable estimate can be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability and is disclosed by way of notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements 16 OPERATING CYCLE: All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
