1. BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost
convention in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles in India including the mandatory accounting standards issued
by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and referred
to in Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 (The Act). The
significant accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the
financial statements are as follows:
a. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from projects is recognized based on percentage completion
method, which is determined on the basis of the stage of completion of
ongoing projects on the Balance Sheet date. The stage of completion is
determined based on progress of the work and estimation of the
architects.
b. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition minus the accumulated
depreciation. Advances paid towards acquisition of the fixed assets
which have not been installed or put to use and the cost of the assets
not put to use, before the year end, are disclosed under advance for
purchase of assets.
c. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes all
applicable overheads in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition.
d. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition and
construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the cost
of the assets.
Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which
they are incurred.
e. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax asset or liability has been determind in pursuant to the
AS-22-Accounting for taxes on Income.
f. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating financing and
investing activities of the company are segregated.
g. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets
and liabilities and disclosure relating to contingent liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and
expenses during the year. Examples of such estimates include
accounting for contract cost expected to be incurred, contract
revenues, stage of completion, provisions, income taxes, useful lives
of fixed assets etc. actual results could be different from those
estimates.
h. Impairment of Assets
At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of
its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that
those assets suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to
determine the extent of the impairment loss. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset''s net selling price and value in use. In
assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected
from the continuing use of the asset and from its ultimate disposal are
discounted to their present values using a pre-determined discount rate
that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money
and risks specific to the asset.
2. DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight line
method, based on the useful life as estimated by the management.
Depreciation is charged on pro-rata basis for assets purchased / sold
during the year. The management''s estimates of useful life for various
fixed assets are given below:
Furniture & Fixtures - 6 Years
Computer Equipments - 3 Years
3. INVESTMENT
Current Investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value. The long
term Investments are stated at cost after deducting provisions made for
permanent diminution in the rate of exchange if any.
4. PROVIDENT FUND
The benefits of Provident Fund are received by the eligible employees,
which is defined in contribution plan. Both the employees and the
Company are making monthly contribution to this Provident Fund equal to
specified percentage of the covered employees'' salary.
5. SEGMENT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The company has only one segment of operation i.e. Infrastructure
activity in local market. So segment wise Income/ Expenditure/ Assets
and Liabilities are not presented.
6. OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other accounting policies are consistent with generally accepted
accounting policies.
