Based on the present activities of the Company the classification between Current and Non-Current Assets and Liabilities has been made on the basis of twelve months.
c. Use of Estimates :
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India (GAAP) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.
d. Fixed Assets :
Tangible Assets:
Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition and amounts added on revaluation less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed assets is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization/depletion and impairment loss, if any. The cost comprises purchase price and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use and adjustments arising from exchange rate variations attributable to the intangible assets.
e. Depreciations and amortizations
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets are provided on Written Down Value Method (WDV) based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 and considering residual value to be 5% of cost and in cases where written down value as on 31.03.2014 was less than 5% of cost, Re.1 for each individual/block of assets (as the case may be). Depreciation on fixed assets added/disposed-off during the year is provided on pro-rata basis with respect to date of acquisition/ disposal.
Amortization/Depreciation on intangible fixed assets are provided on Written Down Value Method (WDV) based on useful life of the assets and considering residual value to be 5% of cost and in cases where written down value as on 31.03.2014 was less than 5% of cost, Re. 1 for each individual/block of assets (as the case may be). Useful life of the asset is the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use.
Leasehold improvement, wherever applicable, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of lease. No scrap value is considered while depreciating the same.
In case of impairment, if any, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.
Amortisation is calculated to write-off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the written-down method over their estimated useful lives, and is recognised in Statement of profit or loss. The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
i) Technology Development Charges : over the lease period i.e., 10 years
ii) Software Licenses : 5 years
iii) Technical knowhow : 5 years
f. Investment
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Non-current investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of non-current investments is made only if such reduction is other than temporary.
g. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or constructions of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
h. Income Recognition :
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
