NOTE 03 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Property, Plant and Equipment
Capital work in progress is stated at cost of aquisition, net of accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Property, plant & equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction where cost includes amount added/deducted on revaluation less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment loss, if any. All costs directly relating to the acquisition and installation of assets are capitalized and include borrowing costs relating to funds attributable to construction or acquisition of qualifying assets, up to the date the asset / plant is ready for intended use. The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item of property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodies within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably with the carrying amount of the replaced part getting derecognized. The cost for day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in the statement of profit and loss.
recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation on tangible Property, Plant & Equipments is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset or part of the asset , on straight line method, in accordance with Part A of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Keeping in mind the rigorous and periodic maintenance programme followed by the Company, the estimated useful life of the Property, Plant & Equipments as assessed by the Management and followed by the Company is given below:
The Management has arrived the useful life/rate of depreciation after considering the residual value of property, plant & equipments.
b) Capital Advances
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”.
c) Intangible assets
Recognition of Intangible assets: Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
d) Lease
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if ulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement. Company as a lessee The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company cognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
i) Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets
at the commencement date of the lease (i.e.,
the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right- of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
ii) Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office
equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
e) Inventories
Inventories of raw materials and components, traded goods, stores & spares are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost is ascertained on weighted average basis. The cost of work-in¬ progress and finished goods is determined on absorption cost basis. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
a. Raw materials, stores & spares and tools & instruments: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
b. Finished goods and work in progress: cost includes cost of direct materials (excluding taxes for which credit is available), labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
c. Traded goods: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred, but excluding taxes for which credit is available, in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
f) Financial instruments
I) Financial Assets
a) Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset.
Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115.”
b) Subsequent measurement:
i) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost if
- these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order 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.
ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
iv) Reclassification of Financial Assets
The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, reclassification is made due to changes in the business model for managing financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company's senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company's operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when a company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains and losses) or interest.
v) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for the amount it may have to pay.
vi) 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 under the Company's recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognized in profit or loss.
vii) Impairment
The Company applies the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for recognizing impairment loss on financial assets. With respect to trade receivables and financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured at amortized cost, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit lossed are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default
events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets measured at FVTPL category. For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, the Company recognizes expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The impairment losses and reversals are recognized in statement of Profit and Loss.
II) Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries are measured at cost as per Ind AS 27 - Separate standalone financial statements.
III) Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial liability.
Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method if it is above the defined credit period.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates on its long-term borrowings. The use of these foreign exchange forward contracts reduces the risk to the Company. The Company does not use the foreign exchange forward contracts for trading or speculation Purpose.
These derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. No hedge accounting is applied to these derivatives, which are carried at fair value with changes being recognized in the statement of profit and loss.”
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Company recognizes equity instruments at proceeds received net off direct issue cost.
All equity instruments in scope of Ind AS 109, other than investments in subsidiaries, are measured at fair value.”
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the contractual obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount 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 realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Hedge accounting
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge variability in its cash flows from interest payments arising from floating rate liabilities i.e., when interests are paid according to benchmark market interest rates.
The Company also uses commodity swaps to hedge variability in its cash flows from changes in commodity prices, primarily electricity and fuel. Changes in the price of these commodities could have a significant effect on the Company's results by affecting costs and thereby, product margins.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than twelve months; it is classified as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than or equal to twelve months.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged item.
The Company documents its risk management objective and how the Company will assess whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements (including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and how the hedge ratio is determined). Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Changes in the fair value (net of tax) of the derivative contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), and any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Amounts so recognized in OCIare later reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss or are treated as basis adjustment if a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Amounts accumulated in Other Equity through OCI are reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss in the periods in which the forecast transactions affect profit or loss.
For forecast transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in Other Equity is retained there until the forecast transaction occurs. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in Other Equity is immediately reclassified to profit or loss for the year as a reclassification adjustment.”
g) Revenue from contract with customers
1) Revenue from operations:
Revenue Recognition : Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract.
i) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
(b) the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
(c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
(d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
(e) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
ii) Job-work revenues are accounted as and when such services are rendered.
iii) In Accordance with IND AS - 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers, Construction Contracts, for Long Contract Sales and Services/Project related activity ( including rendering of engineering design services and other services), the Company recognizes the revenue on the basis of Percentage of Completion Method (POCM). Percentage of completion is the proportion of cost of work performed to-date, to the total estimated contract costs, provided ultimate '"'collectability thereof is reasonably certain.
The Company undertakes business of manufacturing of tool, dies, jigs, fixtures, mould business and recognizes revenue and costs on percentage of completion method (POCM) basis in accordance to IND AS -115.”
2) Other Income:
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
h) Government Grants & Subsidies
(i) Government grants in respect to manufacturing units located in developing regions
The Company is entitled to various incentives from government authorities in respect of manufacturing units located in developing regions. The Company accounts for its entitlements and Government grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the attached conditions and reasonable assurance that grant will be received.
(ii) Government grants in respect of Capital Expenditure
Grants from the government are recognized where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grant whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire capital assets, is recognized as income and are presented wihtin other operating revenue over the life of a depreciable asset in the Statement of Profit and Loss or as a deferred income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.
(iii) Export Benefits
Export benefits in the nature of Duty Drawback & Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Product(RODTEP) are recognized in the year of export when there is reasonable assurance that such export benefits will be received.
(iv) Government grant in respect of interest free VAT loan
The benefit of a government loan at a below market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as difference between proceed received and the fair value of the laan based on prevailing interest rate on borrowing applicable to the concerned unit.
i) Employee Benefits
i) Defined Contribution Plan:
Provident Fund:
The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary. The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the Central Government Provident Fund and the Family Pension Fund and the same is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year to the extent of employers contribution. when the contributions to the respective funds are due and when services are rendered by the employees.
ii) Defined Benefit Plan:
For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:
*service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
*net interest expense or income; and
*remeasurement.
Gratuity:
The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15/26 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Company accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in future based on an independent actuarial valuation. The Company has taken a Company Gratuity cum Life Assurance Scheme with LIC of India for future payment of gratuity to the eligible employees.
Compensated Absences:
The Company provides for the encashment of compensated absences with pay subject to certain rules. The employees are entitled to accumulate compensated absences subject to certain limits, for future encashment. Such benefits are provided based on the number of days of unutilized compensated absence on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.
iii) Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits expense. Benefits such as salaries and performance incentives, are charged to statement of profit and loss on an undiscounted, accrual basis during the period of service rendered by the employees in the financial year.
j) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
k) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:
The functional currency of the Company is Indian rupee.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date; and exchange gains and losses arising on settlement or translation are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non¬ monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non¬ monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss, respectively). In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or nonmonetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Company initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or nonmonetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance.
l) Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
i) Current income tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible.
The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and where the relevant tax paying unit intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.
ii) Deferred taxes
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the relevant entity intends and has ability to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
m) Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The basic earnings per share ('EPS') is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Parent by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, stock split, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period unless issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive i.e. which reduces earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
n) Segment reporting
The Company is in the business of manufacture and sale of automobile components, which in the context of Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 108 "Operating Segments” represents single reportable business segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the accounting policies disclosed in Note no. 3(g). The revenues, total expenses and net profit as per the Statement of Profit and Loss represents the revenue, total expenses and the net profit of the sole reportable segment.
o) Trade Receivables - Initial Measurement
Financial Assets in the form of trade receivables, are initially measured at their transaction price (as defined in Ind AS 115).
p) Impairment
i) Financial assets (other than at fair value)
The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a Company of financial assets is impaired.
Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. Company performs credit assessment for customers on an annual basis. Company recognizes credit risk, on the basis of lifetime expected losses and where receivables are due for more than normal operating cycle of the Company. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 months expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This amount is reflected under the head 'other expenses' in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
Financial assets measured at amortized cost, revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.”
ii) Non-financial assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite life are evaluated for recoverability whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount (i.e. higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value- in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the
recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
q) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
r) Cash flow statement
The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by the indirect method set out in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 7 on "Statement of Cash Flows” and presents cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company.
s) Investment
All investment in unqouted equity instruments are measured at cost.
t) Current versus Non-Current Classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- It is expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
- It is expected to be realized within 12 months after the date of reporting period, or
- Cash and cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after reporting period
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
- It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, or
- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period
Current liabilities include the current portion of long term financial liabilities. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified 12 months as its operating cycle.
u) Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
- Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
- How the asset will generate future economic benefits
- The availability of resources to complete the asset
- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete, and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.”
