t) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized only when:
F the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
F it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
and
F a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognized and measured as a provision.
u) Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities based on the available information. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;
ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates; and
iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
v) Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equities shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.
w) Critical Accounting Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities affected in future periods. The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statement.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Depreciation/ amortization and Useful life of Property, Plant and equipment
The company reviews the estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation/amortization for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates. During the current year, there has been no change in life considered for the assets.
Recoverability of trade receivables
Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered to determine the provision include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
Estimation of net realizable value of inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair value. In estimating the net realizable value / Fair value of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of future selling prices and costs necessary to make the sale.
Provision for employee benefits
The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting period. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.
29. Segment Reporting
The Company’s operations predominantly relate to providing Integrated Solutions, Technical Division, Projects Division and Software Development Services to customers globally operating. Accordingly, the primary basis of segmental information set out in these financial statements, and secondary segmental reporting is performed on the basis of the geographical location.
Income & Direct expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainders of the costs are allocated on the bases of available information. Certain expenses, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments. The Company believes that it is not practicable to provide segmental disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocable” and directly charged against total income.

F Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Credit Risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial asset fails to perform or pay the amount due causing financial loss to the company. The maximum exposure of the financial assets represents trade receivables and work in progress.
The company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk in the course of its business activities. The risk on trade receivables, work in progress is limited as the customers of the company mainly consist of Government promoted entities having strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables. The provision Matrix takes into account ageing of accounts receivables and the company’s historical experience of the customers and financial conditions of the customers.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk arises from the company’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on time. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost:
The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of borrowings with floating rate of interest are considered to be close to the fair value.
