1. System of Accounting
The Company adopts the accrual concept in the preparation of the
Accounts. The preparation of financial statements requires the
management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as
of the date of the financial statements and reported income and
expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the
estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent
and reasonable. Future results could differ from the estimates.
2. Revenue Recognition
Revenue from services are recognised as and when the services are
performed. Sales are stated at selling price inclusive of all taxes.
Expenditure on software purchase and developed/customised during the
year is treated as revenue expenditure. Interest income: Interest
income is recognised on a time proportion basis.
3. Foreign Currency Transactions
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) Exchange Differences: Exchange differences arising on the
settlement of monetary items or on reporting companys monetary items
at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded
during the year or reported in previous financial statements are
recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise.
iii) 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 denominated in a foreign currency
are reported using the exchange rates, that existed when the values
were determined.
4. Inventories
Raw materials: Raw materials are valued at cost or net realisable
values, whichever is lower on FIFO basis.
Project division: Work-in-progress is valued at the contract rates less
profit margin/estimates. Finished goods are Valued at cost.
5. Fixed Assets
i. Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and
any attributable cost of bringing asset to its working condition for
its intended use. Borrowing cost relating to acquisition of fixed
assets which take a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period
till such assets are ready to be put to use.
ii. Intangible Fixed Assets and amortisation:
Intangible assets have finite useful lives and are measured at cost and
amortised over their expected useful economical lives as follows:
Research and development cost are expensed, except for certain
development cost which are capitalised from the time commercial and
technological feasibility criteria are met. Expenditure already charged
to the profit & loss account is not restated. The capitalised cost is
amortised on completion of the project over 5 years on a straight line
basis.
6. Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation on tangible Fixed Assets is provided using the straight
line method, at the rates prescribed under schedule XIV of the
Companies Act, 1956. Depreciation on additions during the year is
provided on a pro-rata basis. Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 each are
written off in the year of capitalisation.
Temporary sheds are amortised over the period of the project on project
–to-project basis
7. Income Taxes
Tax expense comprises of Current & Deferred tax. Current tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Indian Income tax Act. Deferred income tax reflects
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 assets and liabilities are measured based on tax rates and
laws 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. If
the company has carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and 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. At each balance
sheet date, the company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets of earlier years are re-assessed and
recognised to the extent that it has become reasonable certain that
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax
assets can be realised.
8. Deferred Revenue Expenditure
FCCB issue expenses are being written off in proportion to conversion
of FCCBs into Equity Shares or repayment of such FCCBs (as the case may
be) as and when such conversion/repayment takes place.
9. Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. Current
investments are measured at cost. All other investments are classified
as long term investments. Long term investments are measured at cost,
however provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a
decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
10. Employee Benefits- Retirement benefits
Employee Benefits like Provident Fund and Gratuity are charged to the
profit and loss account of the year when the contributions to the
respective accounts are due. There are no other obligations other than
the contributions payable to the respective authority / account.
11. Earning per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity share holders by the
weighted average number of equity shares out standing during the period
and is adjusted for the events of conversion of FCCBs.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity share holders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, if
any.
12. Provisions
A provision is recognised when the company has a potential obligation
as a result of past event and it is provable that an out flow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to
its present value and are determined on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.
13. Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash at
bank, Cash in hand, Fixed deposits and Un-claimed dividend a/c
14. Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of
financial statements and the results of operation during the reporting
period end. Although these estimates are based upon management best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
from these estimates.
15. Segment report policies
Identification of segments: The companys operating businesses are
organised and managed according to the nature of products and services
provided to offer similar products serving similar markets.
16. Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs include interest and commitment charges on borrowings,
amortisation costs incurred in connection with arrangement of
borrowings. Costs incurred on borrowings directly attributable to
project development, which take a substantial period of time to
complete, are capitalised within such time development / producing the
asset for each cost center.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the profit and loss account
in the period in which they are incurred.
