HONDA PHILOSOPHY
The Honda Philosophy, handed down to the Company by its founders Mr. Soichiro Honda and Mr. Takeo Fujisawa,
is composed of Fundamental Beliefs (Respect for the Individual and The Three Joys), the Company Principle and
Management Policies. The Philosophy forms the values shared by all Honda Group companies and all of their
associates and is the basis for Honda’s corporate activities and the associates’ behavior and decision-making.
Honda incorporates the Philosophy into educational programs for its associates and gives it life by turning it into
action, from everyday business activities to management decision-making, so that every person in the Company can
responsibly continue putting the Philosophy into practice.
Additionally, Honda engages in corporate activities under the concept of “Free and Open, Challenge, Co-evolution”.
Specifically, this concept puts into practice Honda’s corporate culture of “taking up the challenge without fear of
failure, free from the prejudice of preconceived ideas, and with a foundation of teamwork based on trust”.

REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF HONDA ATLAS CARS (PAKISTAN) LIMITED
We have reviewed the enclosed Statement of Compliance with the Listed Companies (Code of Corporate Governance)
Regulations, 2019 (the Regulations) prepared by the Board of Directors of Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Limited for the
year ended March 31, 2021 in accordance with the requirements of regulation 36 of the Regulations.
The responsibility for compliance with the Regulations is that of the Board of Directors of the Company. Our
responsibility is to review whether the Statement of Compliance reflects the status of the Company’s compliance with
the provisions of the Regulations and report if it does not and to highlight any non-compliance with the requirements of
the Regulations. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of the Company’s personnel and review of various documents
prepared by the Company to comply with the Regulations.
As a part of our audit of the financial statements, we are required to obtain an understanding of the accounting and
internal control systems sufficient to plan the audit and develop an effective audit approach. We are not required to
consider whether the Board of Directors’ statement on internal control covers all risks and controls or to form an
opinion on the effectiveness of such internal controls, the Company’s corporate governance procedures and risks.
The Regulations require the Company to place before the Audit Committee and upon recommendation of the Audit
Committee, place before the Board of Directors for their review and approval, its related party transactions. We are
only required and have ensured compliance of this requirement to the extent of the approval of the related party
transactions by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Audit Committee.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Statement of Compliance
does not appropriately reflect the Company’s compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements contained in
the Regulations as applicable to the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with the accounting and reporting standards as applicable in Pakistan and the requirements of Companies
Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted
in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as applicable in Pakistan, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
l Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
l Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control.
l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.
l Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide the board of directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
b) the statement of financial position, the statement of profit or loss, the statement of comprehensive income,
the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows together with the notes thereon have
been drawn up in conformity with the Companies Act, 2017 (XIX of 2017) and are in agreement with the
books of account and returns;
c) investments made, expenditure incurred and guarantees extended during the year were for the purpose
of the Company’s business; and
d) zakat deductible at source under the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance, 1980 (XVIII of 1980), was deducted by
the Company and deposited in the Central Zakat Fund established under section 7 of that Ordinance.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Khurram Akbar Khan.

Refer notes 7 and 13 for reconciliation of liabilities arising from financing activities.
(a) Classification of liabilities - Amendment to IAS 1: (effective for period beginning on April 01, 2021)
The IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, to clarify
that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end
of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the
reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a
liability.
(b) Disclosure of accounting policies and definition of accounting estimates - Amendment to IAS 1
and IAS 8: (effective for period beginning on April 01, 2021)
The IASB amended IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, to require companies to disclose their
material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendment
also clarifies that accounting policy information is expected to be material if, without it, the users of the
financial statements would be unable to understand other material information in the financial statements.
Further, the amendment to IAS 1 clarifies that immaterial accounting policy information need not be
disclosed. However, if it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting policy information.
The amendment to IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, clarifies
how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.
The distinction is important, because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to
future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally applied
retrospectively to past transactions and other past events as well as the current period.
The Company has assessed that the impact of this amendment is not expected to be significant.
3. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT
3.1 These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the recognition of
certain employee retirement benefits at present value and certain financial instruments at fair value.
3.2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal
the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.
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 the estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed
information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in other notes together with information about
the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
a) Employees’ retirement benefits - gratuity - note 4.1
b) Provision for taxation - notes 4.2 and 36
c) Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - notes 4.3, 4.4, 17 and 18
d) Impairment of financial assets - note 4.8.4
e) Provision from warranty claims - notes 4.16.1
Contributions under the scheme are made to this fund on the basis of actuarial recommendation at the rate of
7.20% (2020: 6.80%) per annum of basic salary.
The actual return on plan assets represents the difference between the fair value of plan assets at the beginning
of the year and as at the end of the year after adjustments for contributions made by the Company as reduced
by benefits paid during the year.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service
costs are recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss.
The amount recognized in the statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as reduced by the fair value of the plan assets.
The future contribution rate of the plan includes allowances for deficit and surplus. Projected Unit Credit
Method, using the following significant assumptions, is used for valuation of this scheme:
Per annum 2021 2020
Discount rate 10.25% 10.25%
Expected increase in eligible pay 9.25 to 12.00% 9.25 to 12.00%
Expected rate of return on plan assets 10.87% 10.25%
The expected mortality rates assumed are based on the SLIC (2001-05) mortality table.
The Company is expected to contribute Rs 74.98 million to the gratuity fund in the next year.
(b) Defined contribution plan
The Company operates a defined contributory provident fund for all its local permanent employees. Obligations
for contributions to defined contribution plan are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the statement
of profit or loss when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Contributions are made equally by the Company and the
employees at the rate of 10% per annum of the basic salary plus cost of living allowance subject to completion
of minimum qualifying period of service as determined under the rules of the fund.
4.2 Taxation
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the statement of profit or loss except
to the extent that relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is
recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
4.2.1 Current
The charge for current tax is calculated using prevailing tax rates or tax rates expected to apply to profit for the year if
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in accordance with the prevailing law for taxation
of income, after taking into account tax credits, rebates and exemptions, if any. Management periodically evaluates
position taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and
considers whether it is probable that the tax authorities will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The charge for current
tax also includes adjustments, where considered necessary, to provision for tax made in previous years arising from
assessments framed during the year for such years. The company measures its tax balances either based on the most
likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the
uncertainty. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the company has a legally enforceable right to offset
and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability
4.2.2 Deferred
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at
the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined
using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to
the same taxation authority.
Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
respectively.
Depreciation on additions to operating fixed assets is charged when an asset is available for use while no depreciation
is charged when the asset is derecognised.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are continually reviewed by the Company and adjusted if impact on
depreciation is significant. The Company’s estimate of the residual values and useful lives of its property, plant and
equipment during the year has been adjusted as explained in note 3.3.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 4.6).
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the period
in which they are incurred.
The gain or loss on disposal or retirement of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense.
4.3.2 Major spare parts and stand-by equipment
Major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as property, plant and equipment when the Company expects to
use them for more than one year. Transfers are made to operating fixed assets category as and when such items are
available for use.
4.4 Intangible assets
Intangible assets, which are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any identified impairment loss, mainly
represent the cost of licenses for the right to manufacture Company’s vehicles in Pakistan, technical drawings of
certain components and software licenses.
Costs associated with maintaining intangible assets are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs
that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the
Company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
- it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use;
- management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
- there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
- it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
- adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible
asset are available; and
- the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development
costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.
Amortisation is charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost of an asset over its estimated
useful life. Amortisation on additions is charged when an asset is available for use while no amortisation is charged
when the asset is derecognised. Amortisation is charged at the annual rates given below:
Rate
The assets’ useful lives are continually reviewed by the Company and adjusted if impact on amortisation is significant.
The Company’s estimate of the useful lives of its intangible assets during the year has been adjusted as explained in
note 3.3.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 4.6).
4.5 Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less any identified impairment loss. All expenditure connected with specific
assets incurred during installation and construction period are carried under capital work-in-progress. These are
transferred to property, plant and equipment or intangible assets as and when these are available for use.
4.6 Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets
(cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
4.7 Leases
The Company is a lessee.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the
contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is
available for use by the Company.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s
incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments include fixed payments, variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate amounts
expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the
lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term
reflects the lessee exercising that option, less any lease incentives receivable. The extension and termination options
are incorporated in determination of lease term only when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise these
options.
The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured
when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in fixed lease payments or an index or rate,
change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if
the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. The
corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in the statement of
profit or loss if the carrying amount of right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease
payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs
to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located,
less any lease incentive received. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight line method over the lease term
as this method most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits. In case of
warehouses, security deposits are made part of the cost of right of use assets and treated as residual value of the
warehouses. The right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements
of the lease liability.
Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis
as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less without a purchase
option.
4.8 Financial assets
4.8.1 Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value [either through other comprehensive income (‘OCI’) or through
profit or loss]; and
- those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual
terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in
equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable
election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets
changes.
4.8.2 Recognition and derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the
Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash
flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership.
4.8.3 Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at
fair value through profit or loss (‘FVPL’), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial
asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows
are solely payments of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset
and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company
classifies its debt instruments:
i) Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent
solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in
the statement of profit or loss.
ii) Fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’): Assets that are held for collection of contractual
cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI,
except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and
losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain
or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these
financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. Impairment expenses are
presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
iii) FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on
a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which
it arises.
Equity instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has
elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification
of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such
investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments
is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment
losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from
other changes in fair value.
4.8.4 Impairment of financial assets other than those due from the Government of Pakistan and investment in equity
instruments
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses (‘ECL’) associated with its financial
assets. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade debts, the Company applies IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure the ECL (‘loss allowance’) which uses
a life time expected loss allowance to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables and contract assets,
while general 3-stage approach for long term loans, deposits, other receivables and bank balances i.e. to measure
ECL through loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL if credit risk on a financial instrument or a group of
financial instruments has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Following are the financial assets that are subject to the ECL model:
- Long term trade debts
- Long term loans
- Long term deposits
- Trade debts
- Loans, deposits and other receivables
- Derivative financial instruments
- Bank balances.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the
magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default
and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information (adjusted for factors that
are specific to the counterparty, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the
forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate). As for the
exposure at default for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting
date. Loss allowances are forward looking, based on 12 month expected credit losses where there has not been a
significant increase in credit risk rating, otherwise allowances are based on lifetime expected losses.
Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. The probability is determined by the risk of
default which is applied to the cash flow estimates. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. In the absence of a change in
credit rating, allowances are recognised when there is reduction in the net present value of expected cash flows. On
a significant increase in credit risk, allowances are recognised without a change in the expected cash flows, although
typically expected cash flows do also change; and expected credit losses are rebased from 12 month to lifetime
expectations.
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is
a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the instrument as at
the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and
supportable forward-looking information.
The following indicators are considered while assessing credit risk:
- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected
to cause a significant change to the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations;
- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the debtor;
- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor; and
- significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees,
if applicable.
The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management
purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not
recoverable:
- when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or
- information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to
pay its creditors, including the Company, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the
Company).
Irrespective of the above analysis, in case of trade debts, the Company considers that default has occurred when a
debt is more than 180 days past due, unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate
that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future
cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable
data about the following events:
- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
- a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
- the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty,
having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
- it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
The Company recognises life time ECL on trade debts, using the simplified approach. The measurement of ECL
reflects:
- an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
- reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current
conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Trade debts with individually significant balance are separately assessed for ECL measurement. All other receivables
are grouped and assessed collectively based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected
credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix approach based on the company’s
historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and
an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time
value of money where appropriate.
Where lifetime ECL is measured on a collective basis to cater for cases where evidence of significant increases in
credit risk at the individual instrument level may not yet be available, the financial instruments are grouped on the
following basis:
- Nature of financial instruments;
- Past-due status;
- Nature, size and industry of debtors; and
- external credit ratings where available.
The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar
credit risk characteristics.
The Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss for financial assets with a
corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt
instruments that are measured at FVOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset
in the statement of financial position.
The Company writes off financial assets, in whole or in part, when it has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and
has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The assessment of no reasonable expectation
of recovery is based on unavailability of debtor’s sources of income or assets to generate sufficient future cash
flows to repay the amount. The Company may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off will result in impairment gains.
A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect
all the amount due according to the original terms of the receivable.
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that the financial
asset is impaired. The financial asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence
of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’)
and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be
reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor is experiencing significant financial
difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other
financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated
future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. The amount of the
loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of
profit or loss. When the financial asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are credited to the statement of profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of
the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment
was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised
impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
4.9 Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognized at the time when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the instrument. Financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value less transaction costs. Financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed on
profit or loss.
Financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. Where
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in respective carrying amounts is recognized
in the statement of profit or loss.
4.10 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the financial statements only when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and the Company intends either to settle on a net
basis or to realise the assets and to settle the liabilities simultaneously.
If the expected net realisable value is lower than the carrying amount, a write-down is recognised for the amount by
which the carrying amount exceeds its net realisable value. Provision is made in the financial statements for obsolete
and slow moving stock-in-trade based on management estimate.
4.14 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value
is recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least twelve months after the statement of financial position date.
4.15 Borrowing costs
General and specific 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.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the
statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
4.16 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and make good obligations are recognised 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 not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the
likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a
whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same
class of obligations may be small.
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. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-
tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
financing component in which case such are recognised at fair value. The Company holds the trade debts with the
objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures the trade debts subsequently at amortised
cost using the effective interest rate method.
4.18 Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within
12 months after the reporting period. Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
4.19 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cashflows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand,
deposits held at calls with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value, bank overdrafts and short term borrowings. Bank overdrafts and short term borrowings are shown in current
liabilities on the statement of financial position.
4.20 Investments
Investments intended to be held for less than twelve months from the reporting date or to be sold to raise operating
capital, are included in current assets, all other investments are classified as non-current assets. Management
determines the appropriate classification of its investments into categories of financial assets at the time of the
purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis.
4.21 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good
or service to a customer, and control either transfers over time or at a point of time. An asset is transferred when (or
as) the customer obtains control of that asset and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from
the good or service.
In case of vehicles and spare parts, revenue is recognised when goods are dispatched and invoiced to the customers.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract, adjusted for variable consideration such
as discount, if any. In most cases, the consideration is received before the goods are dispatched/invoiced. Deferred
payment terms may also be agreed in case of sales to certain categories of customers. Transaction price is adjusted
for time value of money in case of significant financing component.
The Company’s contracts with customers include promises to transfer goods or services without charges such as free
inspections. Such promised goods or services are generally considered performance obligations and related sales
revenue is deferred under IFRS 15, if it is deemed material.
The Company also has a performance obligation to arrange for delivery of goods at locations specified by the
customers. However, the Company acts as an agent in satisfaction of this performance obligation and net income/
(expense) in this respect is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Amount received on account of sale of extended warranty is recognised initially as deferred revenue and is credited to
the statement of profit or loss in the relevant period covered by the warranty.
4.22 Contract asset and contract liability
A contract asset is recognised for the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it
has transferred to a customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the
customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the Company presents the amount as a contract asset,
excluding any amounts presented as a receivable.
A contract liability is recognised for the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which
the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays
consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. a receivable), before
the Company transfers a good or service to the customer, the entity shall present the contract as a contract liability
when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).
4.23 Dividend and other appropriations
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are
approved and other appropriations are recognised in the period in which these are approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company (‘BOD’).
4.24 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker (‘CODM’). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as BOD that makes strategic decisions.
4.25 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognised at their face value. Incremental costs directly attributable to
the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax.
4.26 Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (‘EPS’) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated
by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares.
4.27 Contingent liabilities
Contingent liability is disclosed when:
- there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence 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
- there is present obligation that arises from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be
measured with sufficient reliability.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss,
within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss
on a net basis within other gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried
at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-
monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit
or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss, and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities
classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.

15.8 These represent interest free deposits from dealers and customers of scrap amounting to Rs 135.64 million (2020:
Rs 124.59 million) and Rs 8.80 million (2020: Rs 10.40 million) against spare parts sales and scrap sales respectively.
These are repayable on demand and cannot be utilised for the purpose of business in accordance with the terms
of written agreements with these parties. These have been kept in a separate bank account in accordance with the
requirements of section 217 of the Act.
(i) In the previous years, the Company received various notices from custom authorities for payment of custom duty
and sales tax in respect of certain components of Honda Cars imported during prior years. Custom authorities
interpreted that Completely Built Unit (‘CBU’) rate of duty was applicable on such components and thus raised a
demand of Rs 110 million. It included Rs 96 million on account of custom duty and Rs 14 million on account of
sales tax.
The Company approached custom authorities on the grounds that the components specified in the above
mentioned notices included certain components which were duly appearing in the indigenization program of the
Company for the relevant period. Hence, CBU rate of duty was not applicable on import of these components.
However, the Customs Appellate Tribunal, Lahore (‘CAT’), vide its order dated November 30, 2007, decided the
matter against the Company against which references were filed in the Honourable Lahore High Court. The
Honourable Lahore High Court remanded back the cases to CAT on December 16, 2016. CAT decided these
cases in favour of the Company on July 13, 2017 and consequently, Customs Department filed an appeal against
judgment of CAT which is pending adjudication in Honourable Lahore High Court. The Company has made a
provision of Rs 32 million against the total demand of Rs 110 million. As the management is confident that the
matter would be settled in its favour, consequently, no provision for the balance amount has been made in these
financial statements in respect of the above mentioned notices.
(ii) The Collector of Customs (Appeals) had endorsed demands aggregating to Rs 3,194.55 million raised against
the Company by the Customs Department in respect of imports affected during the period from April 2011 to
December 2016, on account of custom duty, sales tax and income tax on the grounds that ‘license fee’ and
‘royalty’ paid to M/s Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Japan was includable in the ‘import value’ of ‘Completely Knocked
Down’ kits of vehicles assembled by the Company and parts thereof. The Company has filed an appeal against the
decision of Collector of Customs (Appeals) before the Customs Appellate Tribunal which is pending adjudication.
Also, the Collector of Customs (Adjudication) has endorsed the demand of Rs 1,049.28 million on similar grounds
in respect of imports affected during the period from April 2017 to December 2017 taking the total amount
involved in the matter to Rs 4,243.83 million.
In this respect, it is the Company’s contention that subject amount of ‘royalty’ and ‘license fee’ were relatable to
the Company’s manufacturing facilities and not the goods imported by it and hence, such amounts cannot be
considered as part and parcel of import value. No provision on this account has been made in these financial
statements as the management considers that its stance is founded on meritorious grounds which have been
settled in the Company’s favour by the Customs Appellate Tribunal in earlier years.
(iii) The Deputy Commissioner Inland Revenue (‘DCIR’), through his order dated October 9, 2015, disallowed input
tax credit amounting to Rs 63.60 million claimed by the Company during the sales tax periods from July 2012
to June 2014 on the basis that such input tax related to supply of exempt goods and thus was not recoverable.
The Company being aggrieved of the said order filed an appeal before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals)
[‘CIR(A)’] who upheld the DCIR’s decision through his order dated January 28, 2016. The Company further filed an
appeal against the CIR(A)’s order before Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (‘ATIR’) which also upheld the original
decision against the Company through its order dated January 10, 2019. The Company has now filed an appeal
against ATIR’s decision before Lahore High Court on February 18, 2019. Lahore High Court, through order dated
February 25, 2019 has granted a stay against ATIR’s decision while the main appeal is pending adjudication. The
Company has not made any provision against the above disallowance as the management is confident that the
ultimate outcome of the appeal would be in favour of the Company, inter alia on the basis of the advice of the legal
counsel and the relevant law and facts.
(iv) Bank guarantees of Rs 5,738.79 million (2020: Rs 2,430 million) have been issued in favour of third parties.
(ii) Letters of credit and purchase orders for other than capital expenditure aggregating Rs 1,285.55 million (2020: Rs

36.2 During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (‘ATIR’) through its order dated October
21, 2020 has dismissed an appeal made by the Company in favour of the tax authorities in respect of Tax Year 2017,
whereby, the ATIR has upheld the disallowance of ‘discount to customers’, amounting to Rs 179.274 million as an
admissible deduction for the purpose of computation of taxable income, under section 21(c) of the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001 (‘Ordinance’), as the Company had not withheld income tax while making payments of discount to
the customers. Similar order was passed by the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) [‘CIR(A)’] on January 24,
2020 in respect of Tax Year 2018 upon appeal by the Company against the order of the Additional Commissioner
Inland Revenue (‘ACIR’) dated November 05, 2019, whereby, ‘discount to customers’ amounting to Rs 1,047.986
million was disallowed. Further, another order was passed by the CIR(A) on January 7, 2021 in respect of Tax Year
2019 upon appeal by the Company against the order of the ACIR dated September 30, 2020, whereby, ‘discount to
customers’ amounting to Rs 657.025 million was again disallowed as a deduction. The Company has filed appeals
before ATIR against the orders of CIR(A) for Tax Year 2018 and Tax Year 2019. The tax involved in the matter of such
discount to customers for all the above mentioned Tax Years aggregates Rs 560.682 million.
Against the judgement of the ATIR in respect of Tax Year 2017, the Company filed a reference before the Lahore
High Court (‘LHC’), whereby, the LHC has ordered that no coercive action shall be taken, till the next date, which has
not yet been set. Further, the Company has also filed a rectification application under section 221 of the Ordinance
before the ATIR in respect its aforesaid order which is pending for disposal. Based on the advice of the legal counsel,
management strongly believes that there are multiple and substantial questions of law which require determination
and that there is every likelihood that the appeal will be decided in favor of the Company and the tax demands
that have been raised or will be raised in this respect, shall be finally set aside based on the relevant law and facts,
therefore, the Company has not recognised a provision for the abovementioned amount of Rs 560.682 million.
The aggregate amount charged in the financial statements for the year for remuneration, including certain benefits to
the chief executive, certain directors and other executives of the Company is as follows:
39.1 The Chief Executive, certain directors and executives of the Company are provided with Company maintained cars
and furnished accommodation.
39.2 Total number of directors of the Company (excluding Chief Executive) is 8 (2020: 8). No remuneration was paid to any
of the other directors.

higher, mainly as a result of exchange losses/gains on translation of USD denominated financial instruments.
As at March 31,2021, if the Rupee had weakened/strengthened by 5% against the JPY with all other variables held
constant, the impact on post tax profit for the year would have been Rs 18.18 million (2020: Rs 13.93 million) lower/
higher, mainly as a result of exchange losses/gains on translation of JPY denominated financial instruments.
As at March 31,2021, if the Rupee had weakened/strengthened by 5% against the THB with all other variables held
constant, the impact on post tax profit for the year would not have been material.
(ii) Other price risk
Other price risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those
changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar
financial instruments traded in the market. The Company is not exposed to equity price risk since there are no direct
investments in equity instruments traded in the market at the reporting date. The Company is also not exposed to
commodity price risk since it does not hold any financial instrument based on commodity prices.
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk represents the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates.
As the Company has no floating interest rate assets, the Company’s income is independent of changes in market
interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk mainly arises from short term borrowings obtained at variable rates
from various financial institutions. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest
rate risk.
The Company analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into
consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios,
the Company calculates the impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for
liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Company’s significant interest bearing financial instruments was:
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counter parties are banks with reasonably high credit ratings.
The Company believes that it is not exposed to major concentration of credit risk as its exposure is spread over a
significant number of counter parties.
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company’s trade debts against sales of stock-in-trade are subject to the expected credit loss model. While bank
balances are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
In respect of trade debts, the Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade debts have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics
and the days past due.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months before March 31, 2021
and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted
to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers
to settle the trade debts. The Company has identified the Gross Domestic Product and the Consumer Price Index of
Pakistan i.e. where it sells its goods and services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical
loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. Security deposits pledged by the dealers to Company have
been regarded as collateral against trade receivables. These security deposits are in liquid form.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at March 31, 2021 was determined to be immaterial and hence has not been
accounted for.
(iii) Credit quality of financial assets
The credit quality of financial assets (mainly bank balances) that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed
by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rate:

Due to the Company’s long standing business relationships with these counterparties and after giving due consideration
to their strong financial standing, management does not expect non-performance by these counter parties on their
obligations to the Company. Treasury bills are issued by Government of Pakistan (‘GoP’) and are sold in the primary
market through auctions conducted by State Bank of Pakistan (‘SBP’). These are sovereign instruments and are
backed by credit of the GoP and hence are considered as risk-free securities i.e. without any credit risk. Accordingly,
the credit risk is minimal.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of
funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the Company’s
businesses, the Company’s finance department maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under
committed credit lines. At March 31, 2021, the Company had Rs 14,860 million available borrowing limits from
financial institutions under mark up arrangements and Rs 14,920 million in cash and bank balances.
Management monitors the forecasts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (note 38 to these financial
statements) on the basis of expected cash flow. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits
set by the Company. In addition, the Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in each
quarter and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet its liabilities, monitoring statement of financial
position liquidity ratios against regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.
The table below analyses the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining
period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows.

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 & Levels 2 and 3 during the year and there were no changes in
valuation techniques during the year. The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair
value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. Changes in level 2 and 3 fair values are analysed at the
end of each reporting period during the annual valuation discussion between the Chief Financial Officer and the
investment advisor.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date.
A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker,
industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the
current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as
little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable,
the instrument is included in Level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
The Company has no such type of financial instruments as on March 31, 2021.
The carrying values of all financial assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximate their fair
values. Fair value is determined on the basis of objective evidence at each reporting date.

Consistent with others in the industry and the requirements of the lenders, the Company monitors the capital structure
on the basis of gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity (as shown in the statement of
financial position). Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings) less cash
and bank balances and liquid investments.

these financial statements.
