1.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical
cost convention on the accrual basis. For recognition of Income &
Expenditures accrual (mercantile) system of accounting is followed
except some expenses of minor nature, which are accounted for on cash
basis. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as prescribed by
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 and guidelines issued by the Securities Exchange
Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently
applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially
adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a
change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
1.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the
reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to
contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and
reported amounts of income and expenditures during the period. Examples
of such estimates include future obligations under employee retirement
benefit plans payments, income taxes.
1.3 Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment, if any. The cost of a fixed asset comprises its purchase
cost and directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to working
conditions for its intended use.
1.4 Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on written down value (WDV)
method on single shift basis at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to
the Companies Act, 1956 as amended from time to time. Depreciation on
addition/deletion/disposals during the year is provided on pro-rata
basis.
1.5 Inventories (as taken, valued and certified by the management)
Inventories consisting of raw material is valued at cost and finished
goods are valued at cost or market price whichever is less.
1.6 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the company
has a legal obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the best estimate
of the outflow of economic benefits required to settle the obligation
at the reporting date. Where no reliable estimate can be made, a
disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for contingent
liability is also made when there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of
resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation
in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,
no provision or disclosure is made.
1.7 Income Taxes & Deferred Taxes
Income Taxes are accrued in the same period that the related revenue
and expenses arise. A provision is made for income tax annually, based
on the tax liability computed, after considering tax allowances and
exemptions. Provisions are recorded when it is estimated that a
liability due to disallowances or other matter is probable. Minimum
alternate tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws and the
company offset, on a year on year basis.
The difference that result between the profit considered for income
taxes and the profit as per the financial statements are identified,
and thereafter a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is
recorded for timing differences, namely the differences that originated
in one accounting period and reverse in another, based on the tax
effect of the aggregate amount of timing difference.
1.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is primarily derived from export sales net of returns and sale
of duty free licenses, FPS license and export incentives. The company
presents revenues net of value added taxes in its statement of profit
and loss.
1.9 Employee benefits
Employee benefit includes provident fund, payment of gratuity,
encashment of earned leave
a. Provident fund
The company and employees both makes monthly contributions to the
Employees Provident Fund Scheme equal to a specified percentage of the
eligible employee's salary. The company contributes a part of its
contribution towards EPF Scheme and also towards FPS Scheme as per
regulations of the Employee's Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 administered
by Employees Provident Fund Organization.
b. Gratuity and encashment of earned leave
The company is making provisions for payment of gratuity and encashment
of earned leave for those employees who are eligible for such benefits
under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and Factories Act, 1948
respectively. The company is making provisions for the gratuity and
encashment of earned leave on actual eligibility and undiscounted
present value of benefit basis. No actuarial valuation is made for such
liabilities as required by AS-15. Any gain or loss on these accounts is
accounted for in the financial statements.
1.10 Segment reporting
The company is operating in only one product i.e. leather garments and
accessories. Hence there is no need to present financial information's
segment wise as required by AS-17.
1.11 Earning per share
Basic earning per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after
tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during
the year. Diluted earning per share is computed by dividing the
profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other
charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity
shares if any, by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year.
1.12 Cash & cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and balances/deposits
with banks. The company considers all investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.13 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the company are
segregated based on the available information.
1.14 Foreign currency transactions
Revenue, expenses and cash flow items denominated in foreign currencies
are translated using exchange rate in effect on the date of the
transaction. Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of
foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit
for the period in which the transaction is settled.
Foreign currency denominated monetary and non-monetary assets &
liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect on the balance
sheet date. The gain / (losses) if any resulting from such translations
are included in the statement of profit and loss.
