 existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy
 hitherto in use.

 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could

 and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are
 known / materialize. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
 prospectively in the current and the future periods.
