Mineral Water Facility at SITE Plant

In November 2011, National Foods set up a mineral


water plant to facilitate drinking water needs of all of
its facilities in Karachi. The plant has the production
capacity of 3000 gallons per day and has been
providing clean drinking water to its staff for
household use. The quality of the mineral water is
benchmarked against the top bottled
manufacturers in the country.

In 2015 the decision was made to provide mineral


water free of cost to all its non-management staff
relieving them of the challenge of acquiring clean
drinking water for themselves and their families.

Over the last few decades, Pakistan has drastically


changed from being a water-abundant to a water

severe water scarcity. Citizens face problems of
erratic supply of water which is frequently not fit for

4.6.1 Recognition, classification and measurement - Financial Assets 4.6.2 Financial liabilities - Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Classification Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as
at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
The Company currently classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest
expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised
- fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses is
- measured at amortised cost. recognised in statement of profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in statement of
profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the
contractual terms of the cash flows.
4.6.3 Derecognition
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not
designated as at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets

- it is held within business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and The Company derecognises a financial asset when:

- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and - the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or

- it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk reflects the
30 June 2021 268,733 8,253 260,570 Group's inability in raising funds to meet commitments. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining

Based on the past experience, consideration of financial position, past track records and recoveries, the Group
believes that the impairment on trade debts past have been adequately accounted for in these financial
statements.

The cash and bank balances represent low credit risk as major balances are placed with banks having credit
ratings of A1+ or above as assigned by PACRA or JCR-VIS and other reputed credit agencies.

Other financial assets are neither material to the financial statements nor exposed to any significant credit
risk. The management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
