o) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event. It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using
equivalent period government securities interest rate. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the
existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that
arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required
to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information on contingent liability is
disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain,
then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.
p) Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which
it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the
company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions for which discrete financial information
is available. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the chief operating decision
maker evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various
performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments.
The activities of the Company can be broadly classified into two segments, viz., Internet Service
Provider (ISP), Manufacturing of Bio Diesel. The ISP division provides Internet Bandwidth to the
Corporate Clients, Operators, Educational Institutions, Cyber Cafes, & Individual etc. The Bio Diesel
division manufactures the Bio Diesel.
Income and direct expenses relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually
identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of cost is apportioned on appropriate basis. Certain
expenses which are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the relevant services are used
interchangeably. The company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment
disclosures relating to such expenses. Accordingly, they are separately disclosed as unallowable and
directly charged against total income.
Detailed Segment wise Information are mentioned in Note No 36 of Financial Statements.
