The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention
on accrual basis and in accordance with the requirements of Companies
Act, 1956 and Accounting Standards specified in Rule 3 of the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the
accounting standards generally accepted in India requires the
management to make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of
the financial statement and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost of
assets comprises of purchase cost (net of cenvat credit, if any) and
other costs attributable to bringing the assets to working condition
for the intended use.
Intangible Assets
Trademark and computer software are classified as intangible assets.
Acquisition cost of trademark comprises of purchase cost and other
expenses incurred in connection with its registration. Cost of software
comprises of purchase cost (net of cenvat credit, if any) and other
costs attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for the
intended use.
Impairment of Assets
Impairment is ascertained at each Balance Sheet date in respect of the
Company''s fixed assets. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in
use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value, based on an appropriate discount
factor. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the
Profit and Loss Account.
Borrowings Costs
Borrowing costs attributable to acquisition or construction of
qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of assets up to
the date such assets are ready for their intended use. Other borrowing
costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are
incurred.
Depreciation/Amortisation
Depreciation on fixed assets, other than moulds and patterns & dies, is
provided under Straight Line Method at the rates specified in Schedule
XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. Moulds and Patterns & Dies are
depreciated over their useful life of 5 years, as estimated by the
Management. Depreciation on addition is provided from the month the
asset is put to commercial use and on deletion upto the month of sale.
Assets costing less than Rs.5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year
of purchase.
Trademark and Computer Software are amortized over a period of ten
years and five years respectively. Leasehold land is amortized under
straight-line method over the period of lease.
Investments
Long term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution,
other than temporary, in their value. Current Investments are stated at
lower of cost and market/fair value.
Inventories
Manufactured goods are valued at lower of cost, including excise duty
payable at the time of removal of goods wherever applicable, and net
realizable value. Cost is computed under weighted average method and
includes attributable direct costs and production overheads.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
is computed at weighted average purchase price including applicable
taxes and freight directly attributable to the purchase of traded
goods.
Stock-in-process is valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost includes attributable direct costs and production overheads
incurred up to the respective stage of completion.
Other items of inventory are valued at lower of cost, computed under
weighted average method, and net realizable value.
Excise Duty
Excise duty is accounted on removal of finished goods from the factory
and provision is made for excise duty payable on stock of finished
goods in hand at the balance sheet date.
Employee Benefits
Post-employment Benefit Plans
Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are
recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling
them to contributions.
For defined benefit schemes, the cost of providing benefits is
determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial
valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains
and losses are recognised in full in the profit and loss account of the
period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognized immediately
to the extent that the benefits are already vested,and otherwise is
amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the
benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet
represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as
adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair
value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is
limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in
future contributions to the scheme.
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised
during the period when the employees render the service. These benefits
include compensated absences such as paid annual leave and performance
incentives.
Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within the twelve
months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the
related services are recognised as liability at the present value of
the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.
Research & Development
Expenditure on research and development is charged to profit and loss
account. Assets acquired for research and development are capitalised
and depreciated in the same manner as other fixed assets.
Revenue Recognition
Sales revenue is recognised on transfer of title to the goods to the
buyer. Dividend income is accounted for when right to receive dividend
is established. Interest income is accounted on time proportion basis.
Foreign Exchange Transactions
Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency are translated at year-end rates.
Exchange gain/loss, if any, is credited / charged to the profit and
loss account.
Segment Reporting
The accounting policies used for segment reporting are in line with the
accounting policies of the Company. Revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their
relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, which relate to the enterprise as a
whole, and are not allocable to segments on a reasonable basis, have
been included under ''Unallocated Corporate Revenues, Expenses, Assets
and Liabilities'' respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share is computed in accordance with
Accounting Standard 20 – ''Earnings Per Share'', specified in rule 3 of
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or contracts to issue equity shares were exercised or
converted during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding at year end.
Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of
taxable income for the period as per the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961.
Deferred tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence,
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 are
recognised and carried forward only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such asset items can be realised.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A Provision is recognized, in terms of Accounting Standard 29 –
''Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'', specified
in Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, when there is a
present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation,
which can be reliably estimated. Provision is not discounted to its
present value and is determined based on the best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best
current estimate.
Contingent Liabilities are recognised only when there is a possible
obligation arising from past events, due to occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly
within the control of the Company, or where any present obligation
cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources, or where a
reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are
assessed on an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable
outflow of resources are provided for.
Contingent Assets are not recognised in the financial statements.
