a) Change in accounting policy Presentation and disclosure of financial statements During the year ended March 31, 2012, the revised schedule VI notified under the Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The adoption of revised schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the requirements applicable in the current year. b) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. 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 amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. c) Tangible fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. 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. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset 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 year during which such expenses are incurred. Assets individually costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition. d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management, or those prescribed under the Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is higher. e) Intangible assets Software acquired is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and is amortised using the straight line method over a period of six years. f) Expenditure incurred during construction period Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is capitalized. Indirect expenditure incurred during construction period is capitalized as part of the indirect construction cost to the extent to which the expenditure is related to construction or is incidental thereto. g) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are prepared separately for each of the Company''s cash-generating units to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. h) Investments Long term investments are stated at cost and provision for diminution is made if the decline in value is other than temporary in nature. Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss. i) Inventories a. Raw Materials, Packing Materials, Stores & Spares and Work in process are stated at weighted average cost. b. Stock in Transit is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. c. Finished goods are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. j) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it 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: Revenue from sales Revenue from sales is recognised on dispatch to customers and is recorded net of trade discount and returns. Other operating revenue Other operating revenue includes income from export incentives receivable in the form of VKGUY and Duty Draw Back. The income is recognised only after dispatch of goods and receipt of bill of lading. Interest Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is included under the head other income in the statement of profit and loss. Dividends Dividend income is recognized when the unit holder''s right to receive dividend is established by the reporting date. k) Retirement and other employee benefits Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The contributions to the provident fund are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contributions are due. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company operates defined benefit plan for its employees towards gratuity and leave encashment. The cost of providing benefits under these plan is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Actuarial valuation is carried out for the plans using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for the defined benefit plan is recognized in full in the period in which it occurs in the statement of profit and loss. Gratuity and Accumulated leave, which are expected to become payable as a result of staff turnover within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such staff turnover on the basis of past experiences. l) Foreign Currency Transactions / Exchange Fluctuations: i) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are normally recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transaction. ii) Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement or on transaction is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. iii) In case of monetary items, which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the exchange rate on the date of such contracts and the year-end rate is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Any profit/loss arising on cancellation of forward exchange contract is recognized as Income or Expense of the year. Premium/Discount arising on such forward exchange contracts is amortized as Income/Expense over the life of contract. m) Income taxes Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or subsequently enacted, at the reporting date. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or subsequently enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes- down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. n) 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. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. o) 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 and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. p) Contingent liabilities 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 in financial statements but discloses its existence in the financial statements as a notes to accounts. q) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. r) Amalgamation The amalgamation has been accounted for under the Pooling Interest Method as prescribed by Accounting Standard (AS-14) Accounting for Amalgamation issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. s) The previous year figures have been re-grouped/re-classified, wherever necessary to confirm to the current year presentation. |
