1.3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a) Recognition of Income &Expenditure:
Income and Expenditure are recognised on accrual basis.
b) Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount 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 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 property, plant and equipment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Property, plant and equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital work-in-progress”.
Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis on the straight line method based on estimated useful life prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
• Assets costing ' 5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Leasehold land: Cost of Leasehold Land and installation and other expenses incurred on Machineries taken on lease are amortized over the period of the respective lease.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
c) Intangible Assets:
Separately purchased intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite orindefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortized on a straight-linebasis over the period of their expected useful lives. Estimated useful livesby major class of finite-life intangible assets are as follows:
Computer software - 3 years
The amortization period and the amortization method for finite-lifeintangible assets is reviewed at each financial year end and adjustedprospectively, if appropriate.
Indefinite life intangibles mainly consist of patents. Theassessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whetherthe indefinite life continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectivelybasis revised estimates
d) Inventories:
Inventories are stated at 'cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower'. Cost comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost formulae used are 'Weighted Average Cost'.
e) Financial Instruments:
Financial Assets:
Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case offinancial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss(FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit andloss. In other cases, the transaction cost is attributed to the acquisitionvalue of the financial asset.
Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at
• amortized cost
• fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model formanaging financial assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term (twelve months or less from thedate of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertibleinto cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Investments:
Long Term Investments are carried at cost and Provision for impairment is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value oflong term investments, script wise.
Trade Receivables and Loans:
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate(EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate thatdiscounts estimated future cash income through the expected life offinancial instrument.
Debt Instruments:
Debt instruments are initially measured at amortized cost, fair valuethrough other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profitor loss (‘FVTPL’) till derecognition on the basis of (i) the entity’s businessmodel for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flowcharacteristics of the financial asset.
a) Measured at amortized cost:
Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortization of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
Financial assets that are held within a business model whoseobjective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collectingcontractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal andinterest, are subsequently measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in theother comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured usingthe EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in theStatement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain orloss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity toother income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
c) Measured at fair value through profit or loss:
A financial asset notclassified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL.Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changesin fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Instruments:
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets areinitially measured at fair value; the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL.The Company makes such election on an instrument-by¬ instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument are recognised as other incomein the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has electedto measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excludingdividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognized in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified tothe Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments inequity instruments are recognised as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition:
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rightsto the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.
Impairment of Financial Asset:
Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequentto initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL category.For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, theCompany recognises 12 month expected credit losses for all originatedor acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of thefinancial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition.The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit lossesif the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initialrecognition. The Company’s trade receivables do not contain significantfinancing component and loss allowance on trade receivables is measuredat an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profitand Loss.
Financial Liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a partyto the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities areinitially measured at the amortized cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of tradepayables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, theseliabilities are held at amortized cost, using the effective interest method.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost usingthe EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit orloss and are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised inthe Statement of Profit and L
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in thecontract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
