Accounting Policies of International Travel House Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2018

A. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment - Tangible Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost which represents the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets, if any. All upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring similar significant additional benefits.

An item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use which is generally on commissioning. Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated in a manner that amortises the cost of the assets after commissioning (or other amount substituted for cost), on a straight line basis, less its residual value, over their useful lives as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Property, Plant and Equipment residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, at each Balance Sheet date. Such changes are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Property, Plant and Equipment are subject to review for impairment if triggering events or circumstances indicate that this is necessary. Impairment loss, if any, to the extent the carrying amount of these assets exceed their recoverable amount is charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss as it arises.

Impairment losses recognised in prior years are reversed when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised no longer exist or have decreased. Such reversals are recognised as an increase in carrying amounts of assets to the extent that it does not exceed the carrying amounts that would have been determined (net of accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised in previous years.

(ii) Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets that the Company controls and from which it expects future economic benefits are capitalised upon acquisition and measured initially at cost comprising the purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable taxes) and directly attributable costs to prepare the asset for its intended use.

Internally generated assets for which the cost is clearly identifiable are capitalised at cost. Internally generated brands, websites and customer lists are not recognised as intangible assets.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Carrying value of intangible assets includes deemed cost which represents the carrying value of intangible assets recognised as at 1st April, 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP

Software is capitalised where it is expected to provide future enduring economics benefits. Capitalisation costs include licence fees and costs of implementation / system integration services. The costs are capitalised in the year in which the relevant software is implemented for use and is amortised across a period not exceeding 5 years. All other upgradation / enhancements are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless they bring similar significant additional benefits.

Useful lives are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and changes, if any, are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

(iii) Foreign Currencies Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the exchange rate prevailing on transaction date. Gains / losses arising on settlement as also on translation of monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value on initial recognition of such financial assets and financial liabilities.

Financial Assets

Recognition and Classification: Financial assets include Investments, Trade Receivables, Security Deposits and Cash and Cash Equivalents. Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired.

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified as those measured at:

- amortised cost, where the financial assets are held solely for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and/ or interest; and

- fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

As most of the loans and receivables of the Company are current in nature, subsequent measurement is at cost less appropriate allowance for credit losses. Where significant, non-current loans and receivables are accounted for at amortised cost using effective interest rate method less appropriate allowance for credit losses.

Impairment: The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets, measured at amortised cost, is impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss where there is an objective evidence of impairment based on reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and account receivable, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.

De-recognition: A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109.

Financial Liabilities

Borrowings, Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities are initially recognised at the value of the respective contractual obligations. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or on expiry.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(v) Revenue Recognition

The Company provides travel related services to corporate travellers in India and abroad. The revenue from rendering these services (other than Productivity Linked Bonus, which is accounted when ascertainable and collection is certain) is recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion. Stage of completion is measured by reference to time elapsed to date as a percentage of total time.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured and collection is certain. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

Revenue from all services i.e commission received from airlines, hotel reservation, tour & packages and other related services is recognised on net basis except for transport income for which the revenue is recognised on gross basis.

Other Income: Other income comprises interest income, dividend income, gain from fair valuation / sale of mutual fund investments and gain on sale of property, plant and equipment. Interest income from financial assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the Company’s right to receive payments is established and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

(vi) Dividend to Equity Holders

Interim dividends paid (including income tax thereon) are recognised in the financial statements when approved by the Board of Directors and final dividend (including income tax thereon) when approved by the shareholders.

(vii) Employee Benefits

The Company make contributions to both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. The defined benefit schemes are mainly administered through duly constituted and approved independent Trusts.

Provident Fund contributions are in the nature of defined contribution scheme. The provident fund is deposited with the Government and recognised as expense.

The Company also operates defined benefit pension, medical and gratuity plans. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit obligation is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Service costs and net interest expense or income is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gain or loss on account of re-measurements are recognised immediately through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur.

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated leave for which the Company records the liability based on actuarial valuation computed under projected unit credit method. These benefits are unfunded.

(viii) Employee Share-Based Compensation

The cost of employee share-based compensation is recognised based on fair value of the stock options granted under the applicable Stock Option Scheme to employees in the Company. Such cost is recognised over the vesting/service period on a straight line basis in the Statement of Profit and Loss with a corresponding credit to equity, net of reimbursements, if any.

(ix) Leases

Leases are recognised as a finance lease whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating lease.

Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Where relevant, straight lining of lease rentals is done across the term of the lease.

(x) Taxes on Income

Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date together with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 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 when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

(xi) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, net of any reimbursement.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

(xii) Contingent Liabilities

Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts are disclosed after a careful evaluation of the facts and legal aspects of the matter involved.

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.

2 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or they are recognised in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

(a) Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets:

As described in the significant accounting policies, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.

(b) Actuarial Valuation:

The present value of the gratuity, medical and pension are determined through independent actuarial valuations including determination of amounts to be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The assumptions include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Information about such valuation is provided in notes to the financial statements.

(c) Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.

(d) Expected Credit Loss Allowance:

The Company has provided allowances for credit losses on trade receivables based on historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.

2 Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. A discussion on the critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty is detailed below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or they are recognized in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Estimates and Assumptions

The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

(a) Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets:

As described in the significant accounting policies, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.

(b) Actuarial Val uation

The present value of the gratuity, medical and pension are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

(c) Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.
