The Company gives three year warranties on certain products manufactured and sold. Such warranty is in respect of the Company’s undertaking to repair or replace those items that fail to perform satisfactorily upon meeting the terms and conditions set by the Company. A provision for warranty is calculated and recognised for each type of such product based on available past historical data on the levels of repairs and returns.
