1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
GALADA POWER AND TELECOMMUNICATION LIMITED has been incorporated on
24.06.1972. At present the Company is engaged in the business of
manufacturing Aluminum conductors and other allied products.The Company
has recorded a net loss of Rs.2,753.92 Lakhs for the year and has
accumulated losses of Rs.39,531.67 Lakhs as at March 31, 2014,
resulting in substantial erosion of the net worth. Further, there were
lower cash inflows from the existing business activities. The Company
has defaulted in payment of dues to banks / financial institutions and
could not comply with the terms of sanction and / or repayment
schedules of the lending institutions and Banks; consequently all the
lending institutions recalled the loans and the Bankers of the Company
also initiated legal proceedings for the recovery of the debts. The
matter was referred to Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR) and the Company had been declared sick. Later on,
BIFR confirmed their opinion for winding up in terms of Section 20(1)
of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 vide
order dt: 14-09-2007. The Company preferred an appeal before AAIFR
which confirmed the BIFR order. The Company further preferred an appeal
before the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh which has stayed BIFR
order and further hearings are in progress. As the Management of the
Company is of the view that an acceptable and viable rehabilitation
package can be worked out since all term lenders individually have in
principle consented for financial restructuring and some of the lenders
have already agreed for financial reconstruction , the accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on a "going concern" basis.
2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:
The financial statements have been prepared to
comply in all material respects with the Accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014, and the relevant provisions of the Companies
Act,2013 and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in India under the historical cost convention and on accrual
basis, except in case of assets for which provision for impairment is
made and revaluation is carried out. The accounting policies are
consistent with those used in the previous year.
a) 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.
b) Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets are stated at cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may
be), less accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses
if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which take
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also
included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are
ready to be put to use.
c) Depreciation:
I. Depreciation is provided considering the useful lives of respective
assets, as provided and prescribed under schedule II of the Companies
Act, 2013.
II. Fixed Assets costing rupees Five thousand or less are fully
depreciated in the year of acquisition.
d) Impairment:
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the greater of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After
impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of
the asset over its remaining useful life. Reversal of impairment losses
recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that
the impairment losses recognised for the asset are no longer exist or
have decreased.
e) Inventories:
i. Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of
cost and net realizable value. However, raw materials and other items
held for use in the production of inventories are not written down
below the cost if the finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is
determined on FIFO basis.
ii. Goods in transit are valued at Cost.
iii. Finished goods, Work in progress, Scrap, by-products and loose
tools are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
iv. Cost includes direct materials, labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is
determined on FIFO basis and Cost of finished goods includes excise
duty.
v Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated selling costs.
f) Prior period items:
All items of income/expenditure pertaining to prior period, which are
material, are accounted through "prior period adjustments" and the
others are shown under respective heads of account in the Profit and
Loss Account.
g) Investments:
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long-term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on
an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at
cost. However, provision for diminution in value of each long term
investment is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in
nature.
h) Revenue 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. Specifically the following basis is adopted:
i. Sale of Goods: Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer, which generally
coincides with delivery. Sales are inclusive of excise duty and value
added tax/sales tax and is net of sales returns and discounts. Revenue
from export sales is recognised on the date of bill of lading. Revenue
on account of price escalations is accounted for on acceptance of such
claims by the buyers.
ii. Income from Services: Revenue is recognized as and the Services
rendered as per the terms of individual Service Contract. Income from
Services is accounted inclusive of service tax.
iii. Interest: Revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking
into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
iv. Other Sundry incomes: Insurance claims, conversion escalations are
accounted for on accrual basis.
i) Government Grants and Subsidies:
Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is
reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all
attaching conditions will be complied with.
When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized
as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic
basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Where the grant
or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted from the gross
value of the assets concerned in arriving at the carrying amount of the
related asset. Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets
given at a concessional rate are accounted for on the basis of their
acquisition cost.
j) Retirement and Other Employee Benefits:
i. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided
for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit
method made at the end of each financial year.
ii. The Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the
contributions are charged to the profit and loss account of the year
when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no
other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective
trusts.
iii. Short term compensated absences are provided on an estimated
basis. Long term compensated absences are provided for based on
actuarial valuation on project unit credit method carried by an actuary
as at the end of the year.
iv. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to profit and loss
account and are not deferred.
k) Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production of Fixed Assets, which take
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are
capitalized. Other Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the
year in which they are incurred.
I) Leases: Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially
all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets are
classified as operating leases.Where the Company is the
lessee:Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the
profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Where the Company is the lessor:
Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease
income is recognized in the profit and loss account. Costs, including
depreciation are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss
account.
m) Earnings per Share (Basic and Diluted):
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders 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 period attributable to equity shareholders and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
n) Taxes on Income:
Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the
tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act 1961
enacted in India. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current
year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income
for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the Company
has carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only, if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised
against future taxable profits.
o) Cash Flow Statement:Cash flows are reported using indirect method.
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at
bank, cash/cheques in hand and Fixed Deposits with Banks.
p) Contingent Liabilities:A contingent liability is a possible
obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain
future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation
that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent
liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a
liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured
reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the financial statements.
q) Provisions:A provision is recognised when there is a present
obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to
its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.
