Accounting Policies of Khandwala Securities Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2015

Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statement of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India to comply with Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act 2013. The Financial Statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in previous year.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.

Revenue recognition

Income from capital market operations (non-delivery based transactions) is accounted for on sale of securities. Income from Merchant Banking services, Brokerage and income from corporate advisory services are accounted for as and when the relevant services are rendered except where the recovery is uncertain in which case it is accounted for on receipt. Interest income is accounted for on accrual basis except where the recovery is uncertain, in which case it is accounted for on receipt. Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive dividend is established.

Fixed assets (Tangible & Intangible) and depreciation/ Amortisation

Till the year ended March 31, 2014, Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, prescribed requirements concerning depreciation of fixed assets. From the current year, Schedule XIV has been replaced by Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The applicability of Schedule II has resulted in the following changes related to depreciation of fixed assets. Unless stated otherwise, the impact mentioned for the current year is likely to hold good for future years also.

Till the year ended March 31, 2014, depreciation rates prescribed under Schedule XIV were treated as minimum rates and the company was not allowed to charge depreciation at lower rates even if such lower rates were justified by the estimated useful life of the asset. Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful lives for fixed assets which, in many cases, are different from lives prescribed under the erstwhile Schedule XIV However, Schedule II allows companies to use higher/lower useful lives and residual values if such useful lives and residual values can be technically supported and justification for difference is disclosed in the financial statements.

Considering the applicability of Schedule II, the management has re-estimated useful lives and residual values of all its fixed assets. The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly refl ect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, though these rates in certain cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II. Hence, this change in accounting policy did not have any material impact on financial statements of the company.

Depreciation on tangible assets is calculated on a straight- line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the management, or those prescribed under the Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, whichever is higher.

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life. The management follows a rebuttable assumption that the useful lives of the assets would not exceed 6 years.

The company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its non-current assets.

Investments

Investments are classified into current investments and non- current investments. Investments, which are intended to be held for one year or more, are classified as non-current investments and investments, which are intended to be held for less than one year, are classified as current investments.
