NOTF 1.1 Company has only one class of share referred to as equity share with voting right. NOTE 2 The Company is engaged in the production/ making of cinematic and television content, which requires various types, qualities and quantities of raw materials and inputs in different denominations. Due to the multiplicity and complexity of the items it is not practicable to maintain the quantitative record/ continuous stock register, as the process of making content is not amenable to the same. Hence quantitative details are not maintained. Physical stock of finished content is taken at the end of year. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide its Notification dated February 8, 2011 has granted exemption from giving quantitative details of para 3(ii)(a)(I) & (2) of Part II, Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 to manufacturing Companies like our Company. The Board has given the consent required under the aforesaid notification. NOTE 3 Arbitration proceedings initiated by the Company against Prasar Bharati on account of wrongful encashment of bank guarantees of Rs. 75,050,000 were ongoing before former Chief Justice YV Chandrachud. The parties completed the pleadings before the Arbitrator but unfortunately he passed away in July 2008 while the cross examinations were on. The Company had filed a petition before the Hon. High Court at Bombay for appointment of a sole Arbitrator in place and stead of Justice Chandrachud in January 2009. The Bombay High Court appointed Justice BN Srikrishna, former Judge of Hon. Supreme Court of India as Sole Arbitrator vide order dated November 27, 2009 and the arbitration proceedings are ongoing. Opinion obtained by the Company from Justice AM Ahmadi, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, supports the Company''s stand that the amount is fully recoverable. In view of this, the management of the Company does not consider it necessary to make a provision there against in the accounts. The Company is showing amount withheld by Prasar Bharti as Long Term Loans and Advances. NOTE 4 Accounting Standard (AS) 26 on Intangible Assets states that in the absence of persuasive evidence there is a presumption that intangible assets have a useful life of 10 years. In respect of cinematic content, the Company has persuasive evidence that the useful life of cinematic content is over 20 years. The management has considered the following factors viz. the expected usage of the asset by the enterprise, typical product life cycles, technical, technological or other types of obsolescence, expected actions by competitors or potential competitors, the level of maintenance expenditure required to obtain the expected future economic benefits from the asset, the period of control over the asset, the useful life of the asset and for reasons viz. shelf lives of movies have substantially increased since 2000, getting better value for longer lease in excess of ten years, emergence of channels dedicated only for featuring content more than ten years old, growth in the numbers of distribution channels, rapid multiplication of remaking, animation and other new versions etc. is of the view that the useful life of the cinematic content is over 20 years. Hence, amortisation of t 46,444,466 is not required to be made. The Company is in line with International Accounting Practices and this is a step towards complying with IFRS norms which will become mandatory from 2014. There is no individual content that is material to the financial statements of the Company as a whole. There is no content whose title is restricted. The cinematic content of carrying value of Rs. 413,771,841 is pledged to Yes Bank Ltd as security for working capital loan of Rs. 50,000,000. The total cost of content as at March 31, 2012 is Rs. 443,437,138. Based on a review of estimates of future realisations taken as a whole, the management is of the view that future recoverable amount from content rights to be more than its carrying unamortised cost of content. Hence, no impairment/ write down is considered necessary on this account. NOTE 5 As per Accounting Standard (AS) 28 on Impairment of Assets, the Company has assessed whether there is any indications that any assets has impaired. Since the carrying amount is less than the recoverable amount, there is no necessity for making any provision for impairment.
