certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax
assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty supported by
convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised
against future taxable profits.
At each balance sheet date the Company re- assesses unrecognised

as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be

embodying economic benefits and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is
made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that
may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which
the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or
disclosure is made.
