A. Basis of accounting
The accounts are prepared on a historical cost convention except as
stated otherwise. The Company follows an accrual basis of accounting.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules,
2006 and the other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
B. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at 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.
C. Fixed Assets
Tangible assets are stated at original cost of acquisition /
construction / installation net off accumulated depreciation and
impairment loss, if any. Cost includes cost of acquisition,
construction and installation, taxes, duties, freight, other incidental
expenses related to the acquisition, construction, installation and
borrowing costs incurred during pre-operational period.
D. Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible assets (including on assets acquired under
finance lease) is provided on written down value at the rates specified
in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.
E. Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.
F. Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the
undiscounted amount in the Profit and Loss account of the year in which
the related service is rendered.
Retirement benefits in the form of Gratuity are considered as defined
benefit obligations and aro provided on the basis of the actuarial
valuation, using the projected unit credit method as at the date of the
Balance Sheet.
G. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or
construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost
of such 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. Accounting for Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined on the profit for the year in accordance with
the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future
income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to timing differences that result between the
profits offered for income taxes and the profits as per the financial
statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
tax rates and the tax laws that have been enacted or substantially
enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized
only to the extent there is virtual certainty that the assets can be
realized in the future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each
Balance Sheet date.
I. Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction in the carrying amount is treated as an
impairment loss and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that if a
previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable
amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable
amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
J. Revenue Recognition
Revenue in respect of sale of goods is recognised when significant
right and rewards are transferred to customer. Revenue on account of
brokerage is recognised on finalising of transactions
K. Earnings Per share
Basic earnings per share is computed and disclosed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed and disclosed using weighted average
number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period, except when results would be anti dilutive.
L. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets
Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement
are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past
events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised as a liability but are
disclosed in the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor
disclosed in the financial statements.
