3. Going Concern
Financial Statement are prepared on a going concerned basis as intended by management based on material certainty to related to going concern.
4. Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS, requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements and the results of operation during the reported period. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates which are recognised in the period in which they are determined.
5. Key accounting estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
a. Contract Estimates
The Company, being a part of construction industry, prepares budgets in respect of each project to compute project profitability. The two major components of contract estimate are ‘claims arising during construction period’ and ‘budgeted costs to complete the contract’. While estimating these components various assumptions are considered by the management such as (i) Work will be executed in the manner expected so that the project is completed timely (ii) consumption norms will remain same (iii) Wastage will not exceed the normal % as determined etc. (iv) Estimates for contingencies (v) There will be no change in design and the geological factors will be same as communicated; and (vi) Price escalations etc. Due to such complexities involved in the budgeting process, contract estimates are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
b. Recoverability of claims
The Company has claims in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work etc., which are at various stages of negotiation/discussion with the clients or under arbitration. The realisability of these claims are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience with similar claims as well as legal opinion obtained from internal and/or external experts, wherever necessary. Changes in facts of the case or the legal framework may impact realisability of these claims.
c. Defined benefit plans
The cost and present value of the gratuity obligation and compensated absences are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, attrition rate and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
Property, Plant and Equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The Company follows cost model for subsequent measurement for all classes and items of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which they are incurred. Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of assets are recognized in the Profit or Loss. Spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are recognized as property, plant and equipment if they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation on Tangible Fixed Assets is provided on Straight Line Method on the basis of useful life of assets specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment which are added / disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the month of addition / deletion. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying method.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each Financial year end and any changes there-in are considered as change in estimate and accounted prospectively.
Impairment of Assets:
Testing of impairment by the Management is predominantly based on the earning realization from construction equipment’s, machinery, rollers & Trucks etc. under corona Virus Lockdown. PPE and intangible assets with definite lives are reviewed for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (that is, higher of the fair value less costs 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 which case the recoverable amount is determined at the cash-generating-unit (‘CGU’) level to which the said asset belongs. If such individual assets or CGU are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset/CGU exceeds their estimated recoverable amount and allocated on pro rata basis.
Useful lives of asset classes determined by management estimate, which are generally higher than those prescribed under Schedule II to the Act and are supported by the internal technical assessment of useful lives.
The estimated useful life and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis. 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. Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis, from the date on which asset is ready to use. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are accounted in the Statement of Profit and Loss under Other income and other expenses.
Inventories
Inventories are carried in the balance sheet as follows:
(a) Raw materials, components, stores and spares
Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on a FIFO basis and comprises the purchase price including duties and taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the Company from the taxing authorities). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less than estimated cost necessary to make the sale.
(b) Contract Work-in-progress
Costs incurred that relate to future activities on the contract are recognised as contract work-in-progress. Contract work-in progress comprises of construction cost and other directly attributable overhead valued at cost.
The cost of inventories including unawarded claims have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred upto the date of Balance Sheet.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash Flows are reported using the “indirect method”, whereby Loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or Financing cash Flows. The cash Flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Sundry Debtors / Loans and Advances:
Sundry Debtors including awarded claims / Loans and Advances are stated net of provision for identified doubtful debts/advances wherever necessary. Sundry Debtors and Loans and Advances has been taken at reconciled amount for the parties from which the balance confirmation was received and for the rest Debtors and balances are taken as per book balance and are subject to adjustment and reconciliation, if any which will be done on receipts of confirmation from such parties. In the opinion of the management on which we have placed reliance, substantial part of debtors are outstanding for a period exceeding six months and they are subject to arbitration and other reconciliatory proceedings, the outcome and quantum of which is not ascertainable and determined; subject to reconciliations referred to above, the debtors and Loans and advances to the extent as stated are considered good in the Balance Sheet.
Investments:
The Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the Balance Sheet date are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments
On initial recognition, all investments are recognized at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and quoted/fair value, computed category wise. Long term investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management.
Revenue Recognition:
Contract Revenue
The Company follows the percentage completion method, based on the stage of completion at the Balance Sheet date, taking into account the contractual price and revision thereto by estimating total revenue including claims/ variations, Construction Contracts, and total cost till completion of the contract and the profit so determined proportionate to the percentage1.7d by Company and are based on technical and other estimates and experience gain.
The Company’s claim for extra work and escalation in rates relating to execution of contracts are accounted as income in the year of receipt of arbitration award or acceptance by client or evidence of acceptance received.
Contract Receipts - Sub-Contract Revenue
Proportionate Consolidation method of accounting and reporting is followed in respect of Joint venture entered into by the Company. The Income from such joint venture is recognized proportionately, in the profit sharing ratio, and on the basis of Bills submitted, certified and sanctioned by the appropriate authorities. The actual expenses for such Project in Joint Venture are also accounted on the basis of the Profit sharing ratio for the consolidation purposes.
Accounting for Claims
Amounts recoverable in respect of the price and other escalation, bonus claims adjudication and variation in contract work required for performance of the contract to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue. The same is unbilled and is accounted as work in progress and in debtors for which arbitration proceedings are initiated.
Other Income
a. Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and the applicable Effective Interest Rate (EIR).
Other items of income are accounted as and when right to receive such income arises and it is probable that the economic benefits wil flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Post-Employment Benefits
The company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) Defined benefit plans and
(b) Defined contribution plans
Defined benefit plans - Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension and gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets.
This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Defined contribution plans - Provident fund
The company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, wages, performance incentives etc. are recognised as expenses at the undiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period in which the related service is rendered.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares).
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the period. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax
Current income tax is recognised based on the estimated tax liability computed after taking credit for allowances and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is determined by applying the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
