a) Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting standards notified under Section 211(3C) [Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and the other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. b) Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, income taxes, the useful lives and provision for impairment of fixed assets and intangible assets. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ from these estimates. c) Tangible assets, intangible assets and capital work-in-progress Tangible assets and intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation/ amortisation and impairments, if any.Cost includes taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to acquisition. Capital work-in-progress comprises cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use at the year end. d) Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation on additions and disposals is provided pro-rata for the period of use. Depreciation is provided on straight line basis at higher of the rates based on useful lives of the fixed assets as estimated by the management and those stipulated in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Assets individually costing Rs. 5,000 or less are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition Leasehold land is amortised over the primary period of the lease e) Investments Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date, on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually. (f) Foreign currency translation Initial Recognition On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Subsequent Recognition As at the reporting date, 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. All non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are restated at the end of accounting period. Exchange differences on restatement of all other monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. g) Revenue recognition Income from Communications and information technology staffing support services comprise income from time and material and fixed price contracts. Revenue from ''time and material'' contracts is recognised, as and when related services are performed and accepted by the customer. Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised using the percentage of completion method of accounting, under which the sales value of performance, including the profit thereon, is determined by relating the actual man hours of work performed to date to the estimated total man hours for each contract. Provision for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable, based on current contract estimates. Unbilled receivables represent costs incurred and revenues recognised on contracts, to be billed in subsequent periods as per the terms of the contract. Interest and Other income are accounted for on accrual basis except where the receipt of income is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt basis. h) Employee benefits Contributions to the employees'' provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the Profit and Loss account in the year in which the contributions are due. Leave encashment costs are provided for, based on an actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at the balance sheet date. Gratuity costs, which are defined benefits, are based on an actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at the balance sheet date. i) Current and deferred tax Income tax payable in India is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit, which is equal to the excess of MAT (calculated in accordance with provisions of Section 115JB of the Income tax Act, 1961) over normal income-tax is recognised as an asset by crediting the Statement of Profit and Loss only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will be able to avail the said credit against normal tax payable during the period of ten succeeding assessment years. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognised on timing differences being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. In the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realise such assets. In other situations, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realise these assets. Advance taxes and provisions for current income taxes are presented in the balance sheet after off-setting advance tax paid and income tax provision arising in the same tax jurisdiction and the Company intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis. j) Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions: Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date and are not discounted to its present value. Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is termed as a contingent liability. k) Leases Assets given under operating lease are reflected in the financial statements under fixed assets. Further, lease income from such operating lease arrangements have been recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. l) Cash & cash equivalents In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. m) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company''s earnings per share is the net profit for the period after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. n) Stock based compensation Compensation cost relating to employee stock options granted by the Company has been accounted in accordance with the SEBI (Employees Stock Option Scheme and Employees Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India. Accordingly, the excess of the market price of the underlying equity share as at the date of grant of the option over the exercise price of the options on the date of grant has been recognized as employee compensation expense and is reflected as ''Employee Stock Options Outstanding'' under the head ''Reserves and Surplus''. |
