b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Although such estimates and assumptions are made on a reasonable and prudent basis taking into account all available information, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and such differences, if arise, are recognized in the period in which the results are crystallized.
c) Current and non-current classification
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
Assets:
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i) It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle;
ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii) It is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv) It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii) It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or

Current assets / liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial assets / liabilities respectively. All other assets / liabilities are classified as non-current.
d) Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent.
e) Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value (NRV) is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
f) Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated based on the available information. Cash flows from operating activities are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit 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.
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short terms balances (with original maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition) highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amount of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value
g) Property, plant & equipment (fixed assets), depreciation & amortization
Property, plant & equipment (Fixed assets) are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation. The cost of property, plant & equipment (fixed assets) includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property; plant & equipment (fixed asset) is capitalized only if it increases the future benefits from the existing assets beyond its previously assessed standards of performance.
Advances paid towards acquisition of property, plant & equipment (fixed assets) outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under long term loans and advances. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet date, is shown as capital work-in-progress.
Depreciation on property, plant & equipment (fixed assets) is provided using the WDV method based on the useful life of the assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of installation till the date the assets are sold or disposed. Individual assets costing less than Rs 5000/- are depreciated in full in the year of acquisition.
h) Intangible Assets and amortization
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure in making the asset ready for its intended use. Intangible assets are amortized on a systematic basis over the best estimate of their useful lives, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use.
i) Revenue Recognition Sale of goods
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is reasonably certain, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise duty and is net of returns, sales tax and applicable trade discounts and allowances.
j) Foreign Exchange Transactions and balances
Company engaged in local transaction only. So there is no requirement for Reporting of Foreign Currency.
k) Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than 12 months from the date, on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments.
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is done separately in respect of each category of investment.
Non-current investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined separately for each individual investment. The reduction in the carrying amount is reversed when there is a rise in the value of the investment or if the reasons for the reduction no longer exist. Any reduction in the carrying amount and any reversal in such reductions are charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
l) Employee Benefits
Employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid over the period of services rendered by the employees to the Company.
m) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized. Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by the Company in connection with the borrowing of funds. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
n) Segment Reporting
Company does not have any segment. So Segment Reporting is not applicable on company.
o) Leases
There is no such lease transaction during the year under our audit.
p) Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the profit after tax for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, profit after tax for the year and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date.
q) Taxation
Current income tax expense comprises taxes on income from operations in India and in foreign jurisdictions. Income tax payable in India is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax expense relating to foreign operations is determined in accordance with tax laws applicable in countries where such operations are domiciled.
Minimum alternative tax (MAT) paid in accordance to the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax after the tax holiday period. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized on timing differences being the difference between taxable incomes and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
In the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize such assets. In other situations, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize these assets.
Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance taxes paid and income tax provisions arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the Company intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if it has a legally enforceable right and these relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
r) Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of amortized historical cost.
