1.1. Basis of preparation of financial statements
(a) Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India
('Indian GAAP') and comply with the Accounting standards prescribed in
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 which continue to apply
under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, and other relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable.
(b) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgment, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of
Financial Statements. Although these estimates are based on the
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or
liabilities in future periods.
1.2 Tangible and Intangible Assets:
(a) Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost
comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are
met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are
deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Expenditure related to an item of fixed assets is added to its book
value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset
beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other
expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and
maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the
statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses
are incurred.
(b) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible asset
are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment loss, if any. Profit or loss on disposal of intangible asset
is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(c) Capital Work in Progress and Capital Advances
Cost of Assets not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet
date, is shown as capital work in progress.
(d) Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided using the
Straight-Line Method using the rates arrived at based on the useful
lives estimated by the management. Due to the seizer of factory
premises by the Provident Fund Authorities the management of the
Company was unable to access to the asset register of Company to do the
exercise to charge depreciation based on revised remaining useful life
of the assets as per the revised schedule II of Company's Act 2013 and
therefore, the amount of depreciation for the year is calculated on the
basis of rates applied in the earlier years.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful economic life. The company uses a rebuttable
presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed
five years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the
persuasive evidence existence to the affect that useful life of an
intangible asset exceed five years, the company amortizes the
intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life.
1.3 Revenue Recognition
There has not been any sale of goods and services during the period.
Although revenue is recognized to the extent that is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of Goods:
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer,
usually on delivery of the goods. The company collects the sales tax
and VAT on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not
economic benefits flowing to the company. Hence, they are excluded from
revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that
is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of
liability arising during the period.
Dividends:
Dividend income is recognized when the company's right to receive
dividend is established.
1.4 Inventories
(a) Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable
value except in the case of tools in stores and spares which are valued
at cost and tools in tool crib which are valued at the book value.
(b) The cost of purchase material is determined on the FIFO method.
Cost of inventory comprises all cost of purchase, duties, taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other
cost incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and
condition.
(c) Work-in-progress and manufacturing goods are valued at lower of
cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and
labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
1.5 Investments:
Investments, which are readily realizable and indented to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost
comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges
as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly
acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition
cost is the fair value of the securities issued.
1.6 Retirement and other employee benefits:
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The contribution to the provided fund is charged
to the statement of profit and loss for the period when the
contributions are due. Owing to the financial sickness, the Company
has been irregular in depositing the provided contribution with the
appropriate authorities. Any settlement/ dues of provident fund shall
be paid as per order of competent authority.
The company operates gratuity plan for the benefit of its employees.
The cost of providing benefit under gratuity is determined on the basis
of actuarial valuation at each year end. Actuarial gains and losses for
gratuity plan are recognized in full in the period in which they occur
in the statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12
months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The company measures
the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it
expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has
accumulated at the reporting date.
1.7 Provisions:
A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation as
a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
1.8 Contingent Liability:
A contingent Liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.
1.9 Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average no. of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted
for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a right issue, share
split, and reserve share split (consolidation of shares) that have
changed the no. of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, the net profit or loss for
the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average
no. of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.10 Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and Cash Equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments (if any)
with an original maturity of three months or less.
1.11 Income Tax:
a) Deferred Taxes: The Company has carry forward losses and unabsorbed
depreciation available for set-off under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
However, in view of present uncertainty regarding generation of
sufficient future income, net deferred tax assets at the year end
including related credit / charges for the year have not been
recognized in these accounts on prudent basis.
b) Current Taxes: In view of carry forward losses, unabsorbed
deprecation and having the status of a SICK INDUSTRIAL COMPANY declared
by the BIFR, the Company does not expect any current tax liability for
the Financial Years 2007-08 to 2014-15 (Assessment Years 2008-09 to
2015-16 and hence no provision has been made for current taxes for
these years.
1.12 Measurement of EBITDA:
The company has opted to present earnings before interest(finance
cost), tax, depreciation and amortization(EBITDA) as a separate line
item on the face of the statement of Profit & Loss for the year. The
Company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/(loss) from continuing
operations.
