The following discussion and analysis of Smaaash’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with Smaaash’s financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report. Smaaash’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. Smaaash’s fiscal year ends on March 31 of each year. The six month financial statements have been prepared for the period from April 2018 to September 2018. Accordingly, all references are for the six months ended September 30,2018. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding such risks and uncertainties, see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

Smaaash operates 40 state-of-the-art games and entertainment centers (the “Centers”) including 39 Centers in India and one international Center in the U.S., in addition to carrying out product sales of its games and equipment that Smaaash has developed in-house, supported by its sponsorship and other revenues.

 

Smaaash’s core concept is to offer an interactive, immersive and fun experience to customers at its Centers, blending Augmented Reality (“AR”) and Virtual Reality (“VR”) and other games, indoor entertainment, and attractive food and beverage (“F&B”) options, customized to the tastes and preferences of a diverse set of customers across age groups, genders and backgrounds, including corporate customers, families, friends and children. Smaaash’s game concepts are supported by its in-house technology, value engineering and systems integration capabilities.

 

Smaaash’s game attractions are classified as follows:

 

  Active games and interactive sports simulators (“Active Games”), including active game options such as single and multi-level go-karting lanes and bowling alleys, as well as interactive simulator-based game options such as Super Keeper, Hoop Shot, Extreme Drone Racing and more;

 

  In-house developed AR and VR games, including Finger Coaster, Jurassic Escape, Vertigo Walk The Plank, Fly Max and Haunted Hospital; and

 

  Arcade games and others, including Camel Racing, Hoop Shot and Human Claw; soft play zones which are conceptualized as indoor play areas for young children, including a ball pool, designed to encourage longer and repeat visits to Smaaash’s Centers and doing away with the requirement for families to make alternative childcare arrangements for the duration of their visits to its Centers; and indoor game viewing areas.

 

Smaaash’s game offerings are complemented by its in-house food & beverage services.

 

Smaaash launched its flagship Center in November 2012, at Kamala Mills in Lower Parel, Mumbai, with a proprietary cricket game (obtained by Smaaash under a perpetual license from its founder and the patent-holder, Shripal Morakhia, for a one-time fee) as anchor attraction. Over the last five years, Smaaash has transformed into a multi-center integrated games and entertainment company, with a wide suite of in-house developed AR and VR and other games, as well as F&B options at each of its Centers. Among other marketing initiatives, from time to time, Smaaash ties up with local athletes, sports icons and celebrities, including cricket, football, basketball and ice hockey players, to customize its games and increase their appeal to its customers, including via brand ambassadorships and game options designed around specific sports personalities.

 

Smaaash launched its first international Center in December 2016, at the Mall of America in Minnesota, USA. Its star attraction in its U.S. Center is a multi-level go-karting track and games developed and launched by us specifically for this Center, keeping in mind local preferences, such as its ice hockey-themed game called “ What the Puck ”, and Active Games such as Super Keeper, Hoop Shot and Extreme Drone Racing, among others

 

 

 

 

In fiscal year 2018, Smaaash acquired PVR bluO and SVM’s bowling and gaming assets to expand its footprint across India. The acquisitions added 20 Centers to Smaaash’s portfolio.

 

Factors Affecting Smaaash’s Results of Operations

 

Visitors to the centers:

 

Smaaash derives a significant portion of its revenue from operations through gaming revenues that are dependent on the visitors to its Centers. Smaaash also derives income from its F&B offerings. Smaaash seeks to attract visitors to its centers by continuously improving and increasing its gaming and F&B offerings, providing innovative products and technology and quality customer service.

 

Product Sales:

 

With a dedicated product development laboratory located at Worli, in Mumbai, India, Smaaash currently has over 25 new games under development, intended for launch during calendar year 2018. Based on its in-house product development capability, Smaaash has also recently diversified its revenue mix by entering into product sales, including domestic and export sales, where Smaaash retains the intellectual property rights (the “IPR”). Despite its limited operating history in this business, which Smaaash commenced during fiscal year 2016, Smaaash has already established a global footprint with sales of its in-house developed games and equipment in several countries, including USA, Germany, Mexico, China, Turkey and Israel. Smaaash relies on distributors for its third-party sales and does not have long-term contracts or arrangements with such distributors.

 

Employee Costs:

 

Smaaash incurs employee costs for proper functioning of its centers and also to carry out other administrative and selling processes such as finance, IT and marketing. Employee costs in fiscal year 2018 and the six months ended September 31, 2018 were Rs.385 million and Rs.190 million, respectively.

 

Rental:

 

Smaaash is required to pay rent for its premises including its centers and corporate office. Lease expenses in fiscal year 2018 and the six months ended September 30, 2018 were Rs.267 million and Rs.242 million, respectively. The rent is either on a minimum guarantee basis or revenue sharing or a combination of the two.

 

 

 

 

Finance Costs:

 

Smaaash uses debt to finance its operations. Smaaash has a total long-term and short-term borrowings outstanding of Rs.2.876 billion and Rs. 2.888 billion, as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Finance costs in fiscal year 2018 and the six months ended September 30, 2018 were Rs.433 million and Rs.192 million, respectively. Smaaash expects that it will continue to use debt to finance it business and operation.

 

Raw Material Costs:

 

Smaaash’s cost of raw materials consumed was Rs. 224.83 million and Rs. 127 million for fiscal year 2018 and the six months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

As Smaaash incurs significant raw material costs, including import costs, and does not have long term purchase contracts with its vendors, Smaaash may be susceptible to pricing pressures or disruptions in our relationships with our vendors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, Smaaash makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Smaaash bases its estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form its basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Smaaash’s results of operations may differ if prepared under different assumptions or conditions. Smaaash believes the following principal accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

 

Impairment reviews

 

IFRS requires management to undertake an annual test for impairment for finite lived assets, to test for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Impairment testing is an area involving management judgment, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters including management’s expectations of:

 

  growth in EBITDA, calculated as operating profit before depreciation and amortization;

  timing and quantum of future capital expenditures;

  long-term growth rates; and

  the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

 

Income taxes

 

Smaaash is subject to income taxes in a number of Indian jurisdictions. A significant amount of judgment is required to determine the amount of provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and calculations for which the ultimate determination by the relevant taxing authorities is uncertain. Smaaash recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be found to be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made. Where considered necessary, estimates are computed by management based on advice from an external specialist, such as actuaries.

 

 

 

 

Employee benefits

 

The present value of the employee benefit obligation is determined upon actuarial valuation made in conformity with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices by the professional actuary, industry practices and underlying assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for employment benefits include mortality, retirement age, attrition rate, salary escalation rate, discount rate, and others which are done by professional actuary as per the actuary practices prevailing in India . For example, management confirmed the discount rate of 7.40% for the fiscal year 2018 and the six months ended September 30, 2018. Any changes in these assumptions will have an effect on the carrying amount of employment benefits. After considering professional advice, management determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each fiscal year. This is the interest rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation and calculate the net interest recognized in profit or loss on the net defined benefit liability. In determining the appropriate discount rate, consideration is given to the interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are to be paid and that have terms of maturity approximating the terms of the related pension obligation. For example, management confirmed the other key assumptions relevant to the defined employment benefit obligations are based in part on current market conditions.

  

Property, plant and equipment

 

Estimates of useful life

 

The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives/rate of depreciation, as follows:

       
Type of asset   Estimated useful lives
(Years)
 
Office Equipment     5  
Plant and machinery     8-15  
Furniture & Fixtures     5-11  
Vehicles     8  
Computers     3  
Electrical Equipments     10   

 

Leasehold Improvements are amortized over the unexpired period of lease on a straight-line basis.

 

Increasing an asset’s expected life or its residual value would result in a reduced depreciation charge in the income statement.

 

The useful lives and residual values of Smaaash’s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets, certificates obtained from technical persons and anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology. Historically changes in useful lives and residual values have not resulted in material changes to Smaaash’s depreciation charge and as of date hereof no such adjustments have been made.

Notes to consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2018

 

General information

The Company is engaged in the business of operating entertainment centers. Smaaash presents a various range of games that offer a superlative virtual-reality experience and combines the best of sports, music and dining into a highly immersive, interactive, innovative and involved entertainment experience. The Company also involved in the Product sales i.e. sale of in-house developed games with the help of innovative ideas and cutting edge technology.

 

The address of its registered office is 2nd Floor, Trade wing building, Oasis complex, P B Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai 400 013 and principal place of business is Mumbai, India.

 

Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

 

1. Basis of preparation

 

The financial statements of the Company, entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

 

The aforesaid consolidated financial statement have been prepared in Indian Rupee (INR) and denominated in Thousands.

 

1.1 Historical cost convention

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

 

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

 

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statement is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 or value in use in IAS 36.

 

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

1.2 Classification of current/non-current assets and liabilities

 

The consolidated balance sheet presents current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications. For this purpose, an asset is classified as current if:

 

It is expected to be realized, or is intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle; or

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or

It is expected to realize the asset within 12 months after the reporting period; or

 

 

 

 

The asset is a cash or equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

 

Similarly, a liability is classified as current if:

 

It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle; or

It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or

It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or

The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty does not affect this classification.

 

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

 

2. Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporated the financial statement of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

 

has power over the investee;

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

 

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

 

List of entities that are being are been consolidated:

 

Name of Subsidiaries Country of incorporation/ Principal Place of Business Effective percentage of shareholding
As at September 30, 2018 As at March 31, 2018
Smaaash Innovation Private Limited India 100% 100%
Adrenaline Foods Private Limited India 100% 100%
Smaaash Entertainment USA Limited USA 100% 100%
Smaaash Village Private Limited India 100% 100%
Smaaash Leisure Limited (Formerly known as PVR BluO Entertainment Limited) India 100%  —

 

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

 

the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;

rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

 

 

 

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

 

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

 

2.1 Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

 

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

 

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable IFRS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39, or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

3.1 Revenue recognition

 

3.1.1 Rendering of Services

 

Revenue from rendering of services is measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized over of the life of the contract using percentage completion method and when the outcome of the transaction is estimated reliably.

 

The outcome of a transaction is estimated reliably when all the following conditions are satisfied:

 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity;

the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably

When the outcome of the transaction involving the rendering of services cannot be estimated reliably, revenue shall be recognized only to the extent of the expenses recognized that are recoverable.

 

Rendering of services include:

a) Revenue from the gaming service is recognized as and when games are played by patrons.

 

 

 

 

b) Revenue from banquet, corporate events and others is recognized as and when event takes place.

 

3.1.2 Sale of goods

 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

 

the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 

Revenue from sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and trade discounts and includes excise duty but excludes sales tax, value added tax and Goods and Service Tax (GST). 

 

Revenue from sale of goods include:

a) Product sales - Revenue from sale of gaming products is recognized upon their delivery.

 

b) Revenue from Sale of food and beverages is recognized upon their delivery to customers.

 

3.1.3 Bonus Points:

 

The fair value of the consideration on gaming services that result in bonus point credits for customers, under the Group’s bonus point schemes, is allocated between the normal points supplied and the bonus point credit granted. The consideration allocated to the bonus point credits is measured by reference to fair value from the standpoint of the holder and is recognized as revenue on redemption and / or expected redemption after breakage.

 

3.1.4 Dividend and interest income

 

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably).

 

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

3.2 Business Combination

 

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests (if any) issued in exchange of control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

 

 

 

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value, except that:

 

deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively; and

assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

 

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

 

3.3 Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired business as established at the date of acquisition of the business in excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

 

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

 

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

 

3.4 Leasing

 

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

 

3.4.1 Group as a lessee:

 

Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings or other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

 

The Group’s significant operating leasing arrangements are in respect of office premises and warehouse at various locations. Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Group’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognized in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

3.4.2 Group as a lessor:

 

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

 

 

3.5 Foreign currencies

 

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.

 

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign subsidiary are translated into Indian Rupees (INR) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

 

3.6 Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

 

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

 

3.7 Government grants

 

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

 

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis.

 

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

 

3.8 Non-current asset held for sale

 

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

 

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

 

3.9 Employee benefits

 

3.9.1 Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

 

Employee benefits include provident fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity fund and compensated absences. 

 

 

 

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

 

For defined retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in accumulated deficit and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

 

a) service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

b) net interest expense or income; and

c) re-measurement

 

The Group presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

 

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate, which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

 

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

 

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

 

3.9.2 Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

 

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of salaries, wages and other short term employee benefits in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

 

Provision for leave benefits to employees is based on actuarial valuation done by projected accrued benefit method at the reporting date.

 

3.10   Taxation

 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

 

3.10.1 Current tax

 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

 

 

 

3.10.2 Deferred tax

 

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statement and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

 

3.10.3 Minimum alternate tax

 

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to Consolidated statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Group recognizes the MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period i.e. the period for which the MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Group recognizes the MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance note on Accounting for Credit available in respect of Minimum Alternate Tax under the Income tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the consolidated statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement under the deferred tax assets. The Group reviews the MAT Credit Entitlement asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Group does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

 

3.10.4 Current and deferred tax for the year

 

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

 

3.11 Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at their cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of property, plant and equipments includes freight, duties, taxes (to the extent not recoverable from tax authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure for making the assets ready for its intended use. It also includes initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Replacement cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalized if replacement meets the recognition criteria.

 

 

 

 

Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets 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.

 

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 

Plant and machinery 8 years - 15 years
Office equipments 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years - 11 years
Vehicles 8 years
Computers 3 years
Electrical equipments 10 years

 

Leasehold Improvements are amortized over the unexpired period of lease on a straight-line basis.

 

Individual assets costing up to Rs.5,000 are depreciated at the rate of 100% prorata over a period of one year from the date of purchase.

 

Estimates of residual value of Property, plant and equipment is reviewed at least at each year-end.

 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

3.12  Capital work-in-progress:

 

Projects under Property plant and equipment are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest. 

 

3.13  Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses from derecognition of intangible assets, measured at the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

 

3.14 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

 

 

 

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

 

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

 

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

3.15  Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is determined on the basis of weighted average method.

 

3.16   Provisions and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

 

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

 

A Contingent Liability is disclosed where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Contingent Assets are not recognized. Information on contingent liabilities is disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

 

3.17   Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

3.18   Financial assets

 

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

 

All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

 

 

 

 

3.18.1 Classification of financial assets

 

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):

 

the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

 

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (except for debt instruments that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):

 

the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding 

 

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of ‘Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income’. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

 

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. 

 

For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortized cost, refer note 3.18.5.

 

3.18.2 Amortized cost and Effective interest method

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the Other income line item.

   

3.18.3 Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

 

On initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the reserve for ‘equity instruments through other comprehensive income’. The cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.

 

A financial asset is held for trading if:

 

it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

 

 

 

 

on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument or a financial guarantee.

 

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably. Dividends recognized in profit or loss are included in the ‘Other income’ line item.

 

3.18.4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

 

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for equity instruments which are not held for trading.

 

A financial asset that meets the amortized cost criteria or debt instruments that meet the FVTOCI criteria may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases. The Group has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.

 

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss is included in the ‘Other gains and losses’ line item.

 

3.18.5 Impairment of financial assets

 

The Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

 

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.

 

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

 

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

 

 

 

 

However, for trade receivables, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

 

When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.

 

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Group has used a practical expedient as permitted under IFRS 9. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix, which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

 

3.18.6 Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

 

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognized in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

 

3.18.7 Foreign exchange gains and losses

 

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.

 

For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortized cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss except for those, which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.

 

3.18.8 Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

3.19 Financial liabilities and equity instruments

 

3.19.1 Classification as debt or equity

 

Debt and equity instruments issued by the entity are classified either as financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

 

3.19.2 Equity instruments

 

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

 

 

 

 

Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.

 

3.19.3 Compound instruments

 

The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.

 

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recognized as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.

 

3.19.4 Financial liabilities

 

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

 

Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortized cost

 

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting period. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortized cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalized as part of costs of an asset is included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item.

 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

 

3.19.5 Foreign exchange gains and losses

 

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortized cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the instruments and are recognized in ‘Other income’ as ‘Net foreign exchange gains/(losses)’.

 

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

3.19.6 Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

 

 

 

3.20   Offsetting financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated financial statement where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty.

 

3.21  Segment accounting

 

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.

 

The Board of directors of the Group has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker. Refer to note 40 for segment information presented.

 

4.  Critical accounting estimates and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statement requires the use of accounting estimates, which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items, which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the consolidated financial statement.

 

4.1 Fair value measurements and valuation processes

 

Some of the Group’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available.

 

4.2 Bonus Point (Revenue recognition)

 

Bonus point credits having a predetermined life are granted to customers when they make payments for card balances. The fair value of the consideration on gaming services resulting in such bonus point credits is allocated between the normal points and the bonus point credits granted. The consideration allocated to the bonus point credits is measured by reference to fair value from the standpoint of the holder and revenue is deferred. The Group at the end of each reporting period estimates the number of points redeemed and that it expects will be further redeemed, based on empirical data of redemption/ lapses, and revenue is accordingly recognized.

 

4.3 Contingencies:

 

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Group. There are certain obligations which managements have concluded based on all available facts and circumstances are not probable of payment or difficult to quantify reliably and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the consolidated financial statement. Although there can be no assurance of the final outcome of the legal proceedings in which the Group is involved it is not expected that such contingencies will have material effect on its financial position or profitability.

 

4.4 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

 

As described at note 3.11 above, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and residual values at the end of each reporting period. There was no change in the useful life and residual values of property, plant and equipment as compared to previous year.

 

 

 

 

5. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

 

5.1 Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year

 

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after January 1, 2017.

 

5.1.1 Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative

 

The Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both cash and non-cash changes.

 

The Group’s liabilities arising from financing activities consist of borrowings and certain other financial liabilities. A reconciliation between the opening and closing balances of these items is provided in note 21. Apart from the additional disclosure in note 21, the application of these amendments has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

5.1.2 Amendments to IAS 12 Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses

 

The Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current year. The amendments clarify how an entity should evaluate whether there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which it can utilize a deductible temporary difference.

 

The application of these amendments has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group already assesses the sufficiency of future taxable profits in a way that is consistent with these amendments.

 

5.1.3 Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle

 

The Group has applied the amendments to IFRS 12 included in the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle for the first time in the current year.

 

IFRS 12 states that an entity need not provide summarized financial information for interests in subsidiaries that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale.

 

The amendments clarify that this is the only concession from the disclosure requirements of IFRS 12 for such interests.

 

The application of these amendments has had no effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as none of the Group’s interests in these entities are classified, or included in a disposal group that is classified, as held for sale.

 

5.2 New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

 

5.2.1 The Group has early applied the IFRS 9 Financial Instruments that have been issued but are not yet effective:

 

In July 2014, the IASB finalized the reform of financial instruments accounting and issued IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014), which contains the requirements for:

 

a. the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities,

b. impairment methodology, and

c. general hedge accounting. IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014) will supersede IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement upon its effective date.

 

Transitional provisions

IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier application permitted. IFRS 9 requires retrospective application (subject to some transitional provisions).

The entity elects to early adopt IFRS 9 from the annual period beginning from April 1, 2015 and it has applied all of the requirements in IFRS 9 at the same time.

 

 

 

 

5.2.2 The Group has not early applied the following IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (and the related Clarifications) 1
IFRS 16 Leases 2
IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration 1

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. 

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted. 

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.

 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

IFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.

 

The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

• Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

• Step 3: Determine the transaction price

• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

• Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

 

Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in IFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, IFRS 15 requires extensive disclosures.

 

In April 2016, the IASB issued Clarifications to IFRS 15 in relation to the identification of performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, as well as licensing application guidance.

 

Apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the Group’s revenue transactions, the directors do not anticipate that the application of IFRS 15 will have a significant impact on the financial position and/or financial performance of the Group.

 

IFRS 16 Leases

 

IFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede the current lease guidance including IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

 

IFRS 16 distinguishes leases and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Distinctions of operating leases (off balance sheet) and finance leases (on balance sheet) are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognized for all leases by lessees (i.e. all on balance sheet) except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.

 

 

 

 

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. Furthermore, the classification of cash flows will also be affected as operating lease payments under IAS 17 are presented as operating cash flows; whereas under the IFRS 16 model, the lease payments will be split into a principal and an interest portion, which will be presented as financing and operating cash flows respectively.

 

In contrast to lessee accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify a lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease.

 

Furthermore, IFRS 16 requires extensive disclosures.

 

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

 

IFRIC 22 addresses how to determine the ‘date of transaction’ for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of an asset, expense or income, when consideration for that item has been paid or received in advance in a foreign currency which resulted in the recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability (e.g. a non-refundable deposit or deferred revenue).

 

The Interpretation specifies that the date of transaction is the date on which the entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Interpretation requires an entity to determine the date of transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

 

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with earlier application permitted. Entities can apply the Interpretation either retrospectively or prospectively. Specific transition provisions apply to prospective application.

 

The directors of the Group do not anticipate that the application of the amendments in the future will have an impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. This is because the Group already accounts for transactions involving the payment or receipt of advance consideration in a foreign currency in a way that is consistent with the amendments.

37.1 Capital management Policy

 

For the purpose of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Group. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximise the shareholder value.

 

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, trade payables, less cash and cash equivalents.

 

Gearing ratio:

 

 Particulars As at September 30, 2018 As at March 31, 2018
 Debt (i)  2,870,602  2,876,116
 Cash and bank balances    48,131    119,840
 Net debt  2,822,471  2,756,276
     
 Total equity 2,575,815 2,435,593
 Net debt to equity ratio  1.10  1.13

 

The gearing ratio at end of the reporting period was as follows:

 

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements.

 

Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowing in the current period.

 

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the six month ended September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

39. Employee benefits

 

i) Defined Contribution Plan

 

The Groups’ contribution to Provident fund for the year ended March 31, 2018: Rs. 16,780 thousands and for year ended March 31, 2017: Rs 10,806 thousands) has been recognized in consolidated statement of profit or loss under the heading employee benefits expense.

 

ii) Defined Benefit Plans:

 

Gratuity

The Group operates a gratuity plan covering qualifying employees. The benefit payable is the greater of the amount calculated as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 or the Group scheme applicable to the employee. The benefit vests upon completion of five years of continuous service and once vested it is payable to employees on retirement or on termination of employment. In case of death while in service, the gratuity is payable irrespective of vesting. The Group makes annual contribution to the Group gratuity scheme administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its Gratuity Trust Fund.

 

Through its defined benefit plans the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

 

(1) Salary risk:

 

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

 

(2) Interest rate risk

 

The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. All other aspects remaining same, if bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase. In addition, an inadequate return on underlying plan assets can result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future.

 

(3) Demographic risk:

 

This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, medical cost inflation, discount rate and vesting criteria.

Sensitivity Analysis

Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points .

SMAAASH Entertainment, Inc. Announces Pursuant to Closing of Transaction with SMAAASH Entertainment Private Limited, Common Stock Began Trading on NASDAQ Under the Ticker Symbol “SMSH”

 

SMAAASH Entertainment, Inc. to Commence Developed eSports Strategy

 

New York, NY - November 26, 2018 - SMAAASH Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSH) (the “Company”), previously announced that it has successfully consummated its transaction with SMAAASH Entertainment Private Limited (“SMAAASH”). As part of the transaction, the Company changed its name to “SMAAASH Entertainment Inc.” and began trading November 23, 2018 on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “SMSH”.

 

SMAAASH, the brainchild of successful serial entrepreneur Shripal Morakhia, is a global virtual reality gaming and sports entertainment company. SMAAASH has grown by developing a specialized innovation ecosystem that has ensured that all physical, digital and virtual games are based on proprietary technology.

 

The Company will majority own and control all new, future US-located SMAAASH family entertainment centers, and all SMAAASH eSports center operations, including SMAAASH Digital, as they develop. The Company owns a minority stake in the India-based SMAAASH Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., which currently owns and operates 39 family entertainment centers. Pursuant to this transaction, the Company has a right to invest and build a larger stake in SMAAASH over the next 30-60 days.

 

SMAAASH centers provide a specialized sports and extreme sports experience based on the company’s Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality and simulation-based technologies and games. The Company plans to launch three dedicated eSports centers in the U.S. by March 2019, with four more to follow by December 2019, and monetize its audience through specialized fan engagement programs.

 

In addition to the continued roll out of SMAAASH centers, proprietary content, and dedicated eSports centers, the Company plans in the coming months include developing, owning, and managing high performing eSports teams with the overall goal of becoming an international hub for eSports fans from click to brick.

 

“I am pleased to announce the closing of our transaction with SMAAASH Entertainment, Inc.,” said Shripal Morakhia, CEO and Chief Imagination Officer of SMAAASH. “We believe that the public platform provided by the Company will enhance our visibility and boost our growth plans as we seek to build out our network of sports centers.”

 

“This model has been well proven in major metropolitan areas throughout India and the United States, addressing major secular trends as malls transition into experience centers. The departure of legacy mall tenants enables us to secure prime real estate at highly competitive rates while simultaneously providing those malls with a significant increase in foot traffic and potential spend.”

 

 

 

 

“I am particularly enthused with our aggressive efforts in the eSports space, addressing an industry expected to grow to $1.7 billion in annual revenues by 2021. I strongly believe that our goal to create a fully integrated eSports platform, encompassing the development, ownership and management of eSports teams at all competitive levels, paired with the strategic integration of social influencers, a specialized content strategy and various contests and scholarships at our planned eSports locations, will drive the creation of a significant fan base which we plan to monetize with using internally developed fan engagement initiatives while concurrently establishing the Company as a thought leader within the eSports industry. We expect these efforts to not only provide the Company with a significant first mover advantage, as we strive to revolutionize the way people view entertainment, but offer notable synergies with the family entertainment centers, many of which will contain a dedicated in-house eSports arena.”

 

“I look forward to sharing more of our growth story, at upcoming investor conferences, including the 11 th Annual LD Micro Main Event in Los Angeles,” concluded Morakhia.

 

F. Jacob Cherian, CEO and Founder of SMAAASH Entertainment, Inc. said, “SMAAASH r edefines sports entertainment with its ability to infuse its technology-rich experience to entertain customers worldwide . SMAAASH operates in the entire gaming ecosystem: making its own games, operating its centers, selling games to marquis global clients, and leveraging its digital platform. Further, SMAAASH is well positioned to capitalize on attractive growth areas such as eSports.”
