Accounting Policies of Lakshmi Precision Screws Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2016

1.01 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these financial statements to comply with all material respects with the accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year except for the change in accounting policy explained below.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or noncurrent as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

1.02 Change in Accounting Policies

The Company has changed its system of accounting in respect of amortization of dies and tools. As of 1st January, 2016, inventories of dies and tools have been capitalized under fixed assets and depreciated prospectively as per rate and method prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In the earlier years, the same were amortized on the basis of their effective residual life based on technical assessment. The Company has changed its policy due to better and more appropriate presentation in accounts. In earlier years, the Company was unable to obtain technical assessment in respect of consumption of dies and tools as per the accounting policy of the Company resulting in charge of consumption of dies and tools to Statement of Profit and Loss on a non scientific basis. The Company has therefore capitalized dies and tools and depreciated them on the basis of their useful life as per Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013.

1.03 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Assets, Liabilities and the disclosure of Contingent Liabilities on the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Although these estimates are based on the management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in notes to accounts.

1.04 Inventories

a) Inventories other than scrap materials are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value after providing cost of obsolescence, if any. Cost has been ascertained in case of semi-finished goods at 66% less on the price-list and finished goods have been valued at 57% less on the pricelist and special items have been valued at 31% less in case of semi-finished goods and 22% less in the case of finished goods of selling price, based on overall cost data and gross margins; since exact cost is not ascertainable. Excise duty payable on finished goods and scrap materials are shown separately as part of manufacturing cost and is included in the valuation of finished goods and scrap materials. Inventories are consumed on FIFO (First in First out) basis.

b) Scrap material has been valued at net realizable value.

c) Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The cost comprises purchase price, taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses directly attributable and related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets and are further adjusted by the amount of CENVAT credit, VAT credit availed and subsidy directly attributable to the cost of fixed asset, wherever applicable. Interest and other borrowing costs during construction period to finance qualifying fixed assets is capitalized, if capitalization criteria are met.

b) The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. Similarly, when significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals or when a major inspection/ overhauling is required to be performed, such cost of replacement or inspection is capitalized (if the recognition criteria is satisfied) in the carrying amount of plant and equipment as a replacement cost or cost of major inspection/ overhauling, as the case may be and depreciated separately based on their specific useful life.

c) Subsequent expenditure related to fixed assets is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

d) Capital work-in- progress comprises cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use at the balance sheet date and are carried at cost comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses, other directly attributable costs and borrowings costs.

e) Preoperative expenditure and trial run expenditure accumulated as capital work- in- progress is allocated on the basis of prime cost of fixed assets in the year of commencement of commercial production.
