BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to comply in all material
respects with the notified Accounting Standards ('AS') under Companies
Accounting Standard Rules, 2006, (as amended), the relevant provisions
of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the Act'). The Financial Statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company
and are consistent with those used in the previous year.
a) Change in Accounting Policy
Presentation and disclosure of financial statements
During the year ended 31 March 2014, the Revised Schedule VI notified
under Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for
preparation and presentation of its Financial Statements. The adoption
of Revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement
principles followed for preparation of Financial Statements. However,
it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the
Financial Statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous
year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in the
current year, for comparison.
b) Method of Accounting
The Company follows mercantile system of accounting and recognizes
income and expenditure on accrual basis.
c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in India requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. The estimates and
assumptions used in the accompanying Financial Statements are based
upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as
of the date of the Financial Statements. Actual results may differ from
the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying
Financial Statements. Any revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
d) Fixed Assets, Depreciation, amortization and impairment of assets
Tangible Fixed Assets and Intangible Assets
Tangible Fixed assets and Intangible Assets are stated at their
original cost of acquisition, net of accumulated depreciation and
CENVAT credit, and include taxes, freight and other incidental expenses
related to their acquisition / construction / installation.
Pre-operative expenses relatable to a specific project are capitalized
till all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for
its intended use are completed. Expenses capitalized also include
applicable borrowing costs. Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets are recognized in the Balance Sheet at cost, net of
any accumulated amortization / impairment. Preliminary expenses are
amortized over a period of 5 years. De-merger expenses are amortized
over a period of ten years.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on all depreciable assets by Written down
Value Method at the rates prescribed in schedule XVI to the Companies
Act, 1956 as amended from time to time. Depreciation has been
calculated on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition /
Installation of asset. Depreciation as per Income Tax has been
separately calculated for ascertaining the Tax liability.
Impairment of assets
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the asset
exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to the
Profit and Loss account in the year in which an asset is identified as
impaired.
e) Investments
Investments are classified into current and long-term investments.
Current Investments are carried at lower of cost or fair market value.
Any diminution in their value is recognized in the profit and loss
account. Long-term investments, including investment in subsidiaries,
are carried at cost. Diminution of temporary nature in the value of
such long-term investments is not provided for except when such
diminution is determined to be of a permanent nature.
Investment Property
An investment in land or buildings that are not intended to be occupied
substantially for use by, or in the operations of, the Company is
classified as investment property. Investment Properties are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment
losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable
cost of bringing the investment property to its working condition for
its intended use. Depreciation on the building component of the
investment property is calculated on a Written down Value Method
('WDV'), and is equal to the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the
Act. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying
amount and the net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
f) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is
less. Cost comprises of expenditure incurred in the normal course of
business in brining such inventories to their location. Finished goods
at the factory are valued at cost in all applicable cases. Obsolete,
non-moving and defective inventories are identified at the time of
physical verification of inventories and adequate provision, wherever
necessary, is made for such inventories.
g) Revenue Recognition
Income is recognized when the goods are dispatched in accordance with
terms of sale. Sale is inclusive of excise duty, as applicable.
In respect of income from services, income is recognized as and when
the rendering of services is complete. Revenue from time period
services is recognized on the basis of time incurred in providing such
services.
h) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or
construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of
such asset. Other borrowing costs are treated as a period cost and are
expensed in the year of occurrence.
i) Income and Deferred Tax
The provision made for income tax in the accounts comprises both the
current and deferred tax. Current tax is provided for on the taxable
income for the year. The deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
year arising on account of timing differences (net) are recognized in
the Profit and Loss account and the cumulative effect thereof is
reflected in the Balance Sheet.
j) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
