0 | Accounting Policy | Year : Mar '12 | ||||
a) Basis of preparation of Accounts The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the accounting standards notified by the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis, except for insurance and other claims which are accounted for on acceptance/actual receipt basis. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those used in the previous year, except for ''b'' below. b) Change in accounting policy Presentation and disclosure of financial statements During the year ended 31 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 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 Revised Schedule VI requirements applicable in the current year. Change in Method of Valuation of Raw Material, Construction Material and Stores & Spares Parts During the year, the Company has implemented a new ERP system and thus changed its method of valuation of raw materials, construction materials and stores & spares parts inventories from First in First out to Weighted Average basis. Further, the management believes that such change in the method of valuation of inventories will result in a more appropriate presentation of these inventories and will give a systematic basis of charge for raw materials, construction materials and stores & spares parts consumption and would be more representative of the time pattern in which the economic benefits will be derived from the use of such inventories. Had the Company continued to use the earlier basis of valuation, the charge to statement of profit and loss for the year would have been lower by Rs 30.26 lacs and raw materials, construction materials and stores & spares parts inventories would have been higher by Rs 30.26 lacs. Foreign Currency Transactions Pursuant to the Companies (Accounting Standards) (Second Amendment) Rules, 2011 vide GSR 914(E) dated 29th December, 2011, the Company has exercised the option of capitalizing exchange differences, in respect of accounting periods commencing from 1st April, 2011, on long-term foreign currency monetary items which were hitherto recognized as income or expense in the period in which they arose. As a result, such exchange differences so far as they relate to the acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. For this purpose, the company treats a foreign monetary item as long-term foreign currency monetary item, if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination. Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account and amortized over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item Had the Company continued to use the earlier basis of recognizing exchange differences as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise, the charge to statement of profit and loss for the year on account of Foreign Exchange (Gain)/Loss would have been higher by Rs 43.62 lacs and Gross Block and Net Block of Tangible Fixed Assets would have been lower by Rs 43.62 lacs and Rs 39.06 lacs respectively. c) 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 disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon 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 and liabilities in future periods. d) Tangible Fixed Assets Tangible Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Cost is inclusive of duties (net of CENVAT/VAT), taxes, incidental expenses, erection/commissioning expenses etc. incurred upto the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Machinery Spares which can be used only in connection with a particular item of Fixed Assets and whose use, as per the technical assessment, is expected to be irregular are capitalized and depreciated proportionately over the residual life of the respective assets From accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, the company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset. e) Intangible Fixed Assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Computer softwares not being part of the hardware operating system are assessed to have a useful life of 3 years and are capitalized as intangible fixed assets. f) Depreciation & Amortization Tangible Fixed Assets i. The classification of Plant and Machinery into continuous and non-continuous process is done as per technical certification and depreciation thereon is provided accordingly. ii. Depreciation on tangible fixed assets except as mentioned below, is provided using the Straight Line Method at the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 or at rates determined based on the useful life of Assets estimated by the management, whichever is higher. - Tangible fixed assets acquired up to March 31, 1991 and tangible fixed assets of the Wind Power Unit are depreciated at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 using written down value method. - Steel Shutterings are depreciated over a period of five years on straight line method from the year of addition. iii. Depreciation on Insurance Spares/standby equipments is provided over the useful lives of the respective mother assets. iv. Depreciation on fixed assets added/disposed off during the year, is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the month of addition/disposal. Intangible Fixed Assets i. Computer softwares capitalized as intangible fixed assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life of 3 years. g) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the greater of the asset''s net selling price and value in use. In assessing the 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 risks specific to the assets. h) Leases Finance Leases, which effectively transfer to the Company, substantially, all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of the minimum lease payment at the inception of lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. i) Borrowing costs 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 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 as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. j) Investments Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date on which such investments are made are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Long term investments are considered at cost, unless there is an other than temporary decline in value thereof, in which case, adequate provision for diminution is made in the financial statements. Current Investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value on an individual investment basis. k) Inventories (i) Closing stock of stores and spares and raw materials (except for those relating to construction activities) are valued at lower of cost computed on ''Weighted Average'' basis and net realizable value. However, materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost includes expenses incidental to procurement thereof. (ii) Finished goods and work in progress (except for those relating to construction activities) are valued at the lower of cost (computed on weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Costs in respect of finished goods include direct material, labour and an appropriate portion of overhead costs and excise duty. (iii) Construction work in progress is valued at cost. However, in case of contracts where losses are likely to occur, the stock is considered at net ealized d value. Costs include materials, labour and an appropriate portion of construction overheads. (iv) Stores, components, etc. and construction materials at sites to be used in contracts are valued at cost which is ascertained on ''Weighted Average'' basis. (v) Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. l) Revenue recognition (i) Construction contracts Revenue on contracts is recognised on percentage completion method based on the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is determined as a proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed upto the reporting date bears to the estimated total costs. When it is probable that the total contract cost will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately. For this purpose, total contract costs are ascertained on the basis of actual costs incurred and costs to be incurred for completion of contracts in progress, which is arrived at by the management based on current technical data, forecasts and estimate of expenditure to be incurred in future including contingencies, which being technical matters have been relied upon by the auditors. Revisions in projected profit or loss arising from change in estimates are reflected in each accounting period which, however, cannot be disclosed separately in the financial statements as the effect thereof cannot be accurately determined. Overhead expenses representing indirect costs that cannot be directly aligned with the jobs, are distributed over the various contracts on a pro-rata basis. (ii) Sale of Goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on passage of title thereof to the customers, which generally coincides with delivery. Sales are net of taxes, returns, claims, trade discounts etc. Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods get passed to the buyer. (iii) Income from Services Revenues from operation and maintenance contracts are recognised on rendering of services as per the terms of contract. (iv) Interest Interest is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. m) Foreign currency translations (i) Initial Recognition Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. (ii) Conversion Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. (iii) Exchange Differences Exchange differences, in respect of accounting periods commencing from 1st April 2011, arising on reporting of long- term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset (except for that part of exchange difference which is regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, and in other cases, such exchange differences are accumulated in a Foreign Currency Monetary Items Translation Difference Account and amortised over the balance period of such long-term asset/liability. Exchange differences arising on the settlement or reporting of monetary items, not covered above, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognized as income or expenses in the period in which they arise. (iv) Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation purposes. The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts is amortized as expenses or income over the life of the respective contracts. Exchange differences on such contracts, except the contracts which are long term foreign currency monetary items, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense for the year. Any gain/loss arising on forward contracts which are long term foreign currency monetary items is recognized in accordance with paragraph 2 (m) (iii) above. (v) Derivatives Instruments: As per ICAI announcement, accounting for derivative contracts, other than those covered under AS-11, are marked to market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss after considering the offsetting effect on the underlying hedge item is charged to the statement of profit and loss. Net gains are ignored. (vi) Translation of Integral foreign operations The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been those of the company itself. (vii) Translation of Non-integral foreign operations Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance, forms part of the company''s net investment in a non-integral foreign operation is accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of the net investment. On the disposal of such net investment, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences which have been deferred and which relate to that investment is recognized as income or as expenses in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. n) Retirement and other employee benefits Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund being a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year when the contributions to the funds are due. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the fund. Gratuity (funded) being defined benefit obligations and long term compensated absences (unfunded) are provided for based on actuarial valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expenses. o) Income Taxes: Tax expense comprises of current and deferred income tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 realised. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised against future taxable profits. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date. The company writes down the carrying amount of the 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 assets can be realised. Any such write down is reversed to the extent it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available. p) Employee Stock Compensation Cost Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis. q) Segment Reporting Identification of Segments The Company has identified that its business segments are the primary segments. The Company''s businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of activity, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate. Inter segment Transfers The Company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices. Allocation of common costs Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case basis applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case. Revenue and expenses, which relate to the enterprise as a whole and are not allocable to segment on a reasonable basis, have been included under the head Unallocated - Common Segment Policies The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with those of the Company. r) Earning Per Share Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss 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. 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. s) Provisions A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions made in terms of Accounting Standard 29 are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on management estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and appropriately adjusted to reflect the current management estimates. Provision for warranties cost is based on the claims received upto the year end as well as the management estimates of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period. t) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents as indicated in the Cash Flow Statement comprise of cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. u) Accounting for interests in joint ventures In respect of joint ventures entered into with other parties in the form of ''integrated joint ventures'', the accounting treatment is done as below in terms of Accounting Standard 27 notified by the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 (as amended) : (i) Company''s share in profits and losses is accounted for on determination of profits or losses by the Joint Ventures; (ii) Investments are carried at cost, net of the Company''s share of profits or losses, recognized in the accounts. v) Measurement of EBIDTA As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the company has elected to present earnings before finance costs, tax expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit from continuing operations. In its measurement, the company does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, finance costs and tax expenses. * 200,000 (1,593,000) Compulsorily Convertible Preference shares of Rs 140/- each have been converted in to 200,000 (1.593.000) Equity Shares of Rs 10/- each at a premium of Rs 130/- per equity share. ** Nil (200,000) Compulsorily Convertible Preference shares of Series A of Rs 160/- each have been converted in to Nil (200.000) Equity Shares of Rs 10/- each at a premium of Rs 150/- per equity share. *** 575,000 (1,775,000) convertible share warrants of Rs 140/- (600,000 convertible share warrants of Rs 140/- and 1.175.000 convertible share warrants of Rs 160/-) each have been converted into 575,000 (1,775,000) equity shares of Rs 10/- each fully paid up at a premium of Rs 130/- per share (of Rs 130 on 600,000 equity shares and of Rs 150/- on 1.175.000 equity shares) upon exercise of the option by the warrant holders. |
