i. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The Financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respect with the mandatory Accounting Sta/idards notified by companies
(Accounting Standards) rules, 2006 (as amended) & the relevant
provisions of the companies act 1956. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis
in case of assets for which provisions for impairment is made and
revaluation is carried out. The accounting policies have been
consistently applied by the company & are consistent with those used in
the previous year.
ii. Use of estimates
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with the
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets &
liabilities & disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of
financial statements & the results of operations during the reporting
period. Although these estimates are based upon managements best
knowledge of current events & actions, actual results could differ from
these estimates.
iii. Fixed assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation &
impairment losses (if any). Cost comprises the purchase price & any
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working conditions for
its intended use. Borrowing cost relating to the acquisition of the
fixed asset which takes 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.
In respect of accounting periods commencing on or after 7th December,
2006, exchange difference arising on reporting of the long-term foreign
currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the period, or reported in the previous
financial statements are added to or deducted from the cost of the
asset and are depreciated over the balance life of the asset, if these
monetary items pertain to the acquisition of a depreciable fixed asset.
iv. Expenditure During Construction Period
a) The expenditure incurred for the project is accounted under the head
preoperative expenditure and shall be capitalized on completion of the
project.
b) Advances paid, towards acquisition of the fixed assets which have
not been installed or put to use and the cost of the assets not put to
use before the period end are disclosed under capital work-
in-progress.
v. Depreciation & Amortization
Depreciation on Fixed Assets is provided on Straight Line Method as per
the useful lives of the assets estimated by the management or at the
rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever
is higher except for goodwill which will be amortised over a period of
five years after the commencement of commercial production of the power
project. Depreciation on additions is charged proportionately from the
date of acquisition. Assets individually costing less than or equal to
rupees Five thousand has been fully depreciated in the year of
purchase.
The depreciation has been provided on the following basis:
vi. Impairment of Assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
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. The recoverable amount is
the greater of the assets net selling price & value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed
depending upon changes in circumstances. However the carrying value
after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would
have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no
impairment.
vii. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable & intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investment. All other
investments are classified as long term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost & fair value determined on an
individual investment basis. Long term investments are carried at cost.
However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize the
decline other than te-.iporary in the value of investments.
viii. Foreign Currency transactions
Foreign Currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate
prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency denominated
asset and liabilities (monetary items) are translated into reporting
currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the Balance Sheet date.
Exchange difference arising on settlement of foreign currency
transactions or restatement of foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities (monetary items) are capitalized if related to the project
or recognized in the profit and loss account.
ix. Employee benefits
Employee benefits such as salaries, allowances, non-monetary benefits
which fall due for payment within a period of twelve months after
rendering service, are charged as expense to the profit and loss
account in the period in which the service is rendered.
Employee benefits under defined benefit plans, such as leave encashment
and gratuity which fall due for payment after a period of 12 months
from rendering serviced or after completion of employment, are measured
by the projected unit credit method, on the basis of actuarial
valuation carried out by the third party actuaries at each balance
sheet date. The Companies obligations recognized in the Balance sheet
represents the present value of obligations as reduced by the fair
value of plan assets, where applicable.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the profit and
loss account.
x. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing cost which are 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 respective asset. All other borrowing
cost are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing cost consists of
interest & other cost that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds. In determining the amount of borrowing cost
eligible for capitalization during a period, any income earned on the
temporary investments of those borrowings is deducted from the
borrowing costs incurred.
xi. Leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as
operating lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
xii. Earning Per Share
Basic earnings per share are 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. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue
to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net
profit or loss for the year by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares, except where the results are
anti-dilutive.
xiii. Taxation :
(i) 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 and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing
taxation laws. 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, all deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
(ii) At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognised
deferred tax assets. It recognizes, unrecognised deferred tax assets
to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually
certain, as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will
be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of a 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 asset can be
realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available
xiv. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as
a resultof past event; 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 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.
xv. Contingent Liabilities
Contingent Liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the Notes on Accounts.
Provision is made in the accounts in respect of those contingencies
which are likely to materialize into liabilities after the year end
till the approval of the accounts by the Board of Directors and which
have material effect on the position stated in the Balance Sheet.
xvi. Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is prepared by indirect method set out in
accounting standard 3 on Cash Flow Statement and presents the cash
flow statement by operating investing and financing activities of the
Company. Cash and cash equivalents presented in the cash flow statement
consists of cash on hand and balance in current accounts.
