-6.15 (-1.29%)| Accounting Policy | Year : Mar '12 | ||||
(a) Basis of Accounting The financial statements are prepared as per historical cost convention and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India, the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, and the applicable Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. All income and expenditure having material bearing on the financial statements are recognised on accrual basis. (b) Use of Estimates: The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Such estimates and assumptions are based on management''s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of financial statements. The actual outcome may diverge from these estimates. (c) Fixed assets and depreciation: - Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets acquired by the Company are reported at acquisition value, with deductions for accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The acquisition value includes the purchase price (excluding refundable taxes) and expenses directly attributable to the asset to bring it to the site and in the working condition for its intended use. Examples of directly attributable expenses included in the acquisition value are delivery and handling costs, installation, legal services and consultancy services. Where the construction or development of any such asset requiring a substantial period of time to set up for its intended use, is funded by borrowings, the corresponding borrowing costs are capitalised up to the date when the asset is ready for its intended use. Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis at rates and in the manner specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, unless the use of a higher rate or an accelerated charge is justified through technical estimates. Accordingly, certain electronic items are depreciated at 33.33%. Assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. Extra shift depreciation is applied to applicable items of plant and machinery for days additional shifts are worked. (d) Impairment of fixed assets: Consideration is given at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company''s fixed assets. If any indication exists, an asset''s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is greater of the net selling price and value in use. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately as income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. (e) Deferred Revenue Expenditure: Monthly pension costs are amortised over the period of payment. (f) Taxes on Income: Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the period. Deferred tax is calculated to correspond to the tax effect arising when final tax is determined. Deferred tax corresponds to the net effect of tax on all timing differences which occur as a result of items being allowed for income tax purposes during a period different from when they were recognised in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised with regard to all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible timing differences can be utilised. When the Company carries forward unused tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax assets can be realised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced by the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or a part of the aggregate deferred tax asset to be utilised. (g) Investments: Investments are either classified as current or long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and market value. Long-term investments are carried at cost of acquisitions, net of diminution in value, if any, which is other than temporary. (h) Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of the cost and the net realisable value. In the case of raw materials, packing materials and stores and spare parts, cost is determined in accordance with the moving weighted average principle. Costs include the purchase price, non-refundable taxes and delivery and handling costs. Cost of finished goods is determined using the absorption costing principles. Costs include the cost of materials consumed, labour and a systematic allocation of variable and fixed production overheads. Excise duties at the applicable rates are also included in the cost of finished goods. Net realisable value is estimated at the expected selling price less estimated completion and selling costs. (i) Revenue Recognition: Sales include products and services, net off trade discounts and exclude sales tax, state value added tax and service tax. With regard to sale of products, income is reported when practically all risks and rights connected with ownership have been transferred to the buyer. This usually occurs upon dispatch, after the price has been determined and collection of the receivable is reasonably certain. Revenue from dividend on securities is recognised when the right to receive such dividend is established. Interest on securities is recognised evenly over the period of the instrument. (j) Financial Income and Borrowing Cost: Financial income and borrowing cost include interest income on bank deposits and interest expense on loans. Interest income is accrued evenly over the period of the instrument. Borrowing cost are recognised in the period to which they relate, regardless of how the funds have been utilised, except where it relates to financing of construction or development of assets requiring a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended future use. Interest is capitalised up to the date when the asset is ready for its intended use. The amount of interest capitalised (gross of tax) for the period is determined by applying the interest rate applicable to appropriate borrowings outstanding during the period to the average amount of accumulated expenditure for the assets during the period. (k) Foreign Currency Transactions: Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the reporting currency based on the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on settlement thereof during the year are recognised as income or expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Cash and bank balances, receivables and liabilities (monetary items) in foreign currencies as at the year end are translated at closing-date rates, and unrealised translation differences are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss. (l) Employee Benefits: (a) Short-term Employee Benefits Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid over the period of services rendered by the employees to the Company. (b) Long-term Employee Benefits The Company has both defined-contribution and defined-benefit plans, of which some have assets in special funds or securities. The plans are financed by the Company and in the case of some defined contribution plans by the Company along with its employees. (i) Defined-contribution plans Annual contribution payable to the Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund (based on the percentage of salary) are charged as an expense as they fall due, that is, in the same period as the employment gives rise to the contribution. Company also contributes to an established Provident Fund for certain employees where it is obliged to meet the interest shortfall, if any. (ii) Defined-benefit plans Expenses for defined-benefit gratuity and pension are calculated as at the Balance Sheet date by independent actuaries in a manner that distributes expenses over the employee''s working life. These commitments are valued at the present value of the expected future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount rate corresponding to the interest rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on government bonds with a remaining term that is almost equivalent to the average balance working period of employees. Actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. (c) Other Employee Benefits Compensated absences which accrue to employees and which can be carried to future periods but are expected to be encashed or availed in twelve months immediately following the year end are reported as expenses during the year in which the employees perform the services that the benefit covers and the liabilities are reported at the undiscounted amount of the benefits after deducting amounts already paid. Where there are restrictions on availment of encashment of such accrued benefit or where the availment or encashment is otherwise not expected to wholly occur in the next twelve months, the liability on account of the benefit is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. (m) Provisions and Contingencies: A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to its present value and are determined based 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. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statement. (n) Operating Lease: Assets acquired on lease where significant portion of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are effectively retained by the lessors are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease period. The Company has only one class of shares referred to as equity shares having a par value of Rs 10. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. However, no such preferential amounts exist currently. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
