I. Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
Rain Commodities Limited (''the Company'') follows the accrual basis of
accounting. The financial statements are prepared on historical cost
basis and to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in
India, the Accounting Standards notified under Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956.
II. Significant Accounting Policies
a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles requires that the management
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
b) Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized on dispatch of goods to customers and upon
transfer of title in goods to customers. Gross sales include excise
duty and sales tax recovered and are net of trade discounts.
c) Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the Company''s right to receive
dividend is established.
d) Interest Income
Interest income is recognized using the time proportion method, based
on the transactional interest rates.
e) Fixed Assets, Depreciation and Impairment
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost
includes freight, installation cost, duties and taxes, interest on
specific borrowings utilized for financing the assets and other
incidental expenses.
Depreciation is provided on straight line method at the rates specified
in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 or based on the estimated
economic useful lives whichever is higher.
Individual assets costing Rs.5,000 or below are entirely depreciated in
the year of acquisition and put to use.
All Fixed assets are assessed for any indication of impairment, at the
end of each financial year. On such indication, the impairment loss,
being the excess of carrying value over the recoverable value of the
assets, is charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the respective
financial years. The impairment loss recognized in the prior years is
reversed in cases where the recoverable value exceeds the carrying
value, upon reassessment in the subsequent years.
f) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or below. Raw materials cost is computed
on the basis of weighted average cost per unit of measurement after
providing for obsolescence, if any. Finished goods and work in progress
are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis and comprises material, labour
and applicable overhead expenses. Stores and spares are valued at cost
determined on weighted average basis, or below.
Goods in transit are valued at cost or below. Traded goods are valued
at lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.
g) Earnings Per Share (EPS)
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company''s EPS comprises the
net profit after tax. The number of shares used in computing basic EPS
is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed to be converted as of the
beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
The number of shares used for computing the diluted EPS is the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year after considering
the dilutive potential equity shares.
h) Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined based on the amount of tax payable in respect
of taxable income for the year. Deferred tax is recognised on timing
differences being the differences between the taxable income and
accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of
reversal in one or more subsequent periods subject to consideration of
prudence. Deferred tax assets are not recognized unless there is
virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income
available to realize such asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
have been computed on the timing differences applying the enacted tax
rates.
i) Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the
prevailing year end rates. The resultant gain/ loss upon such
restatement along with the gain/loss on account of foreign currency
transactions are accounted in the Profit and Loss account.
j) Investments
Long term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution,
other than temporary, if any, in the value of such investments. Current
investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. |
