3 Material accounting policies
3.1 Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company, at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate, if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction. These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (rounded off to nearest lakhs).
Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the Balance sheet date. The gains or losses resulting from such transactions are included in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rates prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non¬ monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rates prevalent at the date of transaction.
Transaction gains or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency translations are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled. Revenue, expense and cash-flow items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currencies using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).
3.2 Financial instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised at transactional cost and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the
Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost as at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in Statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
iii. Derecognition Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire. The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
I f the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
v. Derivative financial instruments
The Company shall use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions if any. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Forward contracts if any are recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value.
3.3 Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of Property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non¬ refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of Property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of Property, plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to
use before such date are disclosed under 'Capital work-in-progress'.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred.
iii. Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of Property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, in case of leasehold improvements, the shorter lease term and is generally recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate. Based on technical evaluation and consequent advice, the management believes that its estimates of useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets and are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
Individual Property, Plant and Equipment whose cost does not exceed INR 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided from the month of additions (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over shorter of their useful life or the lease term, unless the entity expects to use the assets beyond the lease term.
The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period.
An Asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount .
The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements
upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains/ losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.
Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognized as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per the the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment.
Leased assets
A Lease is classified at the inception date as a Finance Lease or an Operating Lease . A Lease that transfers Substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as Finance Lease. Fixed assets acquired on finance lease have been capitalized at lower of present value of minimum lease payments or fair value. These assets have been depreciated over the useful life of the asset as technically ascertained by the Company.
3.4 Other Intangible assets
i. Recognition and measurement
Other Intangible assets acquired by the Company are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Other Intangible assets in the nature of digital assets are capitalized as and when it is completed and ready for commercialization and amortized over a period of revenue earning potential as
estimated by the management. Cost of own / co production of animation products and not ready for commercialization as at the year end is carried forward as capital work in progress in the balance sheet as at the year end, if the management is convinced of the commercial viability of the same. Development expenses of animation products that are not considered to be commercially viable are expensed.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of Other Intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
iii. Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of Other Intangible assets less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight¬ line method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted if appropriate.
3.5 Intangible assets under development
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is being recognised after evaulation of the following factors:
(a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.
(b) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
(c) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
(d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset.
(e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
(f) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
3.6 Capital work- in- Progress
Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work- in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost and attributable interest. Once it has becomes available for use, their cost is re¬ classified to appropriate caption and subjected to depreciation.
3.7 Investment Property
Investment Property comprises Building that are held for long-term lease rental yields and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently Investment property comprising Building are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation on Building is provided over the estimated useful lives (refer note 3.3) as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Investment property is de-recognised when either they have been disposed off or doesn't meet the criteria of Investment Property when the Investment Property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.
The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of de-recognition.
3.8 Inventories
Inventories include components , stock in trade, stores , spares & Stand by Units.
The Company is maintaining inventory in two heads i.e. own stock and customer stock.
Inventories of raw material , stock in trade are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventory is determined using the weighted average method and cost of inventories comprise all cost of purchase and other cost incurred in bringing them to the present location and condition, net of discounts.
When the stocks are used from the provision made, then the provision is being reversed.
I nventories of stores and spares are valued at
lower of cost, net of provision for diminution in the value. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The Company has changed the policy of providing for Inventory as given below from FY 2021-22 with effect from 1st October 2021.
a) Stock-in-Trade: If materials held as stock for more than 365 days, 50% provision and more than 730 days, 100% Provision will be created on the value of the stock.
b) Components and Spares used for Repairs & maintenance Services: 20% provision will be created on the value of total holding at the end of every year.
c) Backup computers / Accessories/ Printers given at customer locations: These Assets are considered under Inventory in a separate category with a 20% Provision on the value of total holding at the end of every year.
d) Consumables: Consumables are charged as and when issued from the stores. In case of assets given on rent under MPS Division, Consumables will be charged off as and when replaced in the Machine (Against the receipt of the defective item).
e) Principal's stock / FOC materials: Only quantitative count is maintained and not forming part of the Inventory .
3.9 Impairment
i. Impairment of financial instruments
Evidence that a financial asset is credit - impaired includes the following observable
data:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract such as a default;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise;
- it is probable that the counter party will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- t he disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured as 12 month expected credit losses:
- Bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12 month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months). In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward - looking information.”
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 365 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held).
- the financial asset is 730 days or more and due.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the Balance Sheet
Loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Company's corporate assets do not generate independent cash inflows. To determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment loss recognised in respect of a CGU is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the CGU (or group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
3.10 Employee benefits
Expenses and liabilities in respect of employee
benefits are recorded in accordance with Ind
AS 19- Employee Benefits.
i. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of equity settled share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as expense is based on the estimate of the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that do meet the related service and non¬ market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post¬ employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme and Employees State Insurance Scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
iv. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post¬ employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit
that employees have earned in the current and prior periods.
The Company's gratuity plan is partly funded, defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method at each balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation is determined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services rendered by its employees up to the reporting date.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the interest expense on the defined benefit liability for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then defined benefit liability. Interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss under finance costs and employee benefit expenses respectively.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service ('past service cost' or 'past service gain') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
v. Other long-term employee benefits
The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned
in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
3.H Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
IT Services
The Company earns revenue primarily from providing warranty and post warranty services, annual maintenance contract services, on-site support services and other related services. The Company has applied Ind AS 115 which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognised.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services.
- Revenue from warranty services is recognised on output basis, measured by number of calls processed.
- Revenue from annual maintenance service where the Company is standing ready to provide services is recognised based on time elapsed mode and revenue is straight lined over the period of performance.
- Revenue from others comprises of sale of spares and outsourced manpower supply. The Company recognises the revenue on sale of spares at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Revenue in case of outsourced manpower is based on output basis, measured by efforts expended (hours).
- Revenue from scrap sales is recognised at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
Unearned and deferred revenue ("contract liability”) is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues.
I n accordance with Ind AS 37, the Company recognises an onerous contract provision when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits to be received.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by the geographic location of the customers. The Company believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors.
Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies
The following details provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies.
Revenue recognition under Ind AS 115
a. Sale of Goods
Sale is recognised upon transfer of control of promised delivery of goods to the customers, being the point of time when the product / software is delivered and acknowledged by the customer in an amount that reflects the considerations expected to receive in exchange for those products . Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
b. Sale of Services
Revenue is recognisd upon transfer of control of promised services to the customers in an amount that reflects the considerations expected to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the
consideration as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.
Under fixed price maintenance and support services, the performance obligations relating to the service are satisfied over a period of time and the revenue is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of contract, net of expected liquidated damages or deductions.
1) Rental Income
Revenue from renting out of movable and immovable properties are recognised on an accrual basis.
2) Interest Income
I nterest Income reported on accrual basis using the effective interest method and is included under the head " Other Income” in the statement of Profit and loss .
3) Unbilled Revenue
The Company has contracts with customers ranging from 1 year to 5 years and the billing is done as per billing cycle based on contract terms. Revenue is recognised by the Company on annuity basis. So wherever bills have not been raised revenue is recognised based on the basis of service provided. However, these estimates are reviewed regularly and figures are revised based on subsequent billing .
4) Deferred Income
Billing is made as per billing cycles agreed with the customers. Wherever billing is made as per contract and the
period of such billing has not expired, such revenue for the unexpired period of contract as on the date of recognition is treated as deferred revenue.
3.12 Leases
i) Company as a lessee:
The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources that reflects the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.
The lease payments: included in the measurements of the lease liability comprise the following
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- t he exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Company changes its assessment of
whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in¬ substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in Statement of Profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities separately on the face of the balance sheet.
ii) Short-term leases and low value assets:
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short¬ term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term .
iii) Operating leases:
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor inflationary cost increase.
3.13 Recognition of dividend income, interest income or expense
Dividend income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on the date on which the Company's right to receive payment is established.
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
3.14 Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income respectively.
i. Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any,
related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance sheet date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits, if any. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
- temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
- taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re¬ assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent it would be available for set off against future current income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.
3.15 Earnings per share
Basic Earnings per share is computed by dividing profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company (after adjusting for interest on the convertible preference shares, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
3.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand and balance with Bank including short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Other Bank deposits which are not in the nature of cash and cash equivalents with a maturity period of more than three months are classified as other Bank balances.
3.17 Cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.

The only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies.

Any consideration in excess of the net worth of the acquire Company is adjusted against the reserves of the acquiring Company.
