a. Change in Accounting Policy Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements During the year ended the 31st March 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 these 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 generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialized. c. Revenue Recognition Income is accounted for on accrual basis in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 9 - Revenue Recognition. a) Interest Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. b) Dividend Dividend income on investments is accounted for when the right to receive the dividend is established. d. Investments 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. e. Tangible Fixed Assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less provision for impairment losses, if any and depreciation. f. Depreciation on Tangible Fixed Assets Depreciation on tangible 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. The Company has used the following rates / useful life to provide depreciation on its fixed assets. i) Computer hardware systems are depreciated uniformly over a useful life of 3 years. ii) Assets costing up to Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. g. Impairment of Assets Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount being the higher of the asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating units). After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. Previously recognized impairment losses are reversed where the recoverable amount increases because of a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment was recognized. A reversal of an asset''s impairment loss is limited to its carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization), had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. h. Tax on Income i) Current corporate tax is provided on the results for the year after considering applicable tax rates and laws. ii) Deferred tax is provided on timing differences between tax and accounting treatments that originate in one period and are expected to be reversed or settled in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted / substantively enacted tax rates and laws for continuing operations. Deferred tax assets in the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws, that exceed the deferred tax liability, are recognized only where there is virtual certainty of realization. Deferred tax assets on other accounts are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realization. iii) MAT credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period. i. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized for present obligations, of uncertain timing or amount, arising as a result of a past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. j. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the period 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 number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of 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 and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. k. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. |
