j) Provisions and Contingencies
The Company recognizes provisions when a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event exists and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle such obligation and the amount of such obligation can be reliably estimated.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
k) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement comprise cash and cheques in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks where the original maturity is three months or less and other short term highly liquid investments.
l) Employee Benefits
Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.
Post-Employment Benefits:
Defined Benefit plans:
i) Provident Fund scheme:
Contribution as required by the statute made to the Government provident fund is debited to Profit and Loss statement.
ii) Gratuity scheme:
The cost of providing defined benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each reporting date. The defined benefit obligations recognized in the Balance Sheet represent the present value of the defined benefit obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if applicable. Any defined benefit asset (negative defined benefit obligations resulting from this calculation) is recognized representing the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
All expenses represented by current service cost, past service cost, if any, and net interest on the defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on the plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability/asset), are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. Such remeasurements are not reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the subsequent periods.
The Company presents the above liability/(asset) as current and non-current in the Balance Sheet as per actuarial valuation by the independent actuary.
m) Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.
Borrowing costs, if any, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized, if any. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.
n) Segment Reporting
The Chairman and Managing Director of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by IND AS 108, "Operating Segments". The Company operates in one segment only i.e. "HDPE Tarpaulin products". The CODM evaluates performance of the Company based on revenue and operating income from "HDPE Tarpaulin products". Accordingly, segment information has not been separately disclosed.
o) Events after Reporting date
Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the financial statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.
p) Earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated in accordance with Ind AS - 33 "Earning per Share" by dividing the profit / loss for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with Ind AS - 33 "Earning per Share" by dividing the profit / loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
q) Recent accounting pronouncements Ind AS 116 Leases:
On March 30, 2019 Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 116, Leases. Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases Standard, Ind AS 17 Leases, and related Interpretations. The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of Profit & Loss. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind As 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17.
The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 116 is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The standard permits two possible methods of transition:
1. Full retrospective - Retrospectively to each prior period presented applying Ind AS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in accounting estimates and errors
2. Modified retrospective - Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application.
Under modified retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset either as:
> It's carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted at lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application or
> An amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to the lease recognized under Ind AS 17 immediately before the date of initial application.
Effective April 01, 2019, the company has adopted Ind As 116 'Leases' using modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the financial results.
Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. According to the appendix, companies need to determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that the companies have used or plan to use in their income tax filing which has to be considered to computer the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.
The standard permits two possible method of transition:
1. Full retrospective approach - under this approach, Appendix C will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, without using hindsight
2. Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying Appendix C recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without adjusting comparatives
Effective April 01, 2019, the company has adopted Ind AS 12 Appendix C using Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying Appendix C recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without adjusting comparatives. The adoption of the standard did not have any material impact on the financial results.
2.4 Key accounting estimates and judgements
The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously evaluated by the Company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the Company believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Difference between actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialized.
The said estimates are based on the facts and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting date.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainly 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:
a. Income taxes
The Company's tax jurisdiction is India, Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions
b. Defined benefit obligation
The costs of providing post-employment benefits are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Ind AS 16 'Employee benefits' over the period during which benefit is derived from the employees' services. The costs are assessed on the basis of assumptions selected by the management. These assumptions include salary escalation rate, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and mortality rates.
c. Fair vale measurement of Financial Instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involve various judgements and assumptions.
d. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.
(8) Contingent Liabilities and commitments:
a) Contingent liabilities:
Outstanding guarantees and counter guarantees to various banks, in respect of the guarantees given by those banks in favor of various government authorities for performance of the order Rs. 24.91 lacs
b) Tax demand against the company not acknowledged as payable:
Rs. 14.05 lacs refer note no. 12.
(9) As per Ind AS - 23 "Borrowing Costs", the borrowing cost has been charged to profit and Loss statement. None of the borrowing costs have been capitalized during the year.
(10) Licensed and Installed capacity of unmachined and machined production of tarpaulin and woven sacks is 4000 M. T. This being the technical aspect not verified by the auditors as it is certified by the directors.
(11) Confirmation letters have not been obtained from some of the Debtors, Creditors, Loans and Advances. Hence the, balances of these accounts are subject to confirmation, reconciliation and consequent adjustments, if any.
(12) During the year 2021-22, Deputy state tax commissioner passed an reassessment order for the F. Y. 2011-12 raising the total demand of Rs. 7.75 lacs including tax of Rs. 2.74 lacs, interest of Rs. 4.45 lacs and penalty of Rs. 0.56 lacs and F. Y. 2012-13 raising the total demand of Rs. 6.30 lacs including tax of Rs. 2.43 lacs and interest of Rs. 3.87 lacs. The company has not accepted the above demand and has filed an appeal with the respective authority. There is no progress in the above cases during the year.
(13) Previous year's figures have been regrouped/reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current Year's classifications/ disclosure.
