2.3 Current-non current classification

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.

Assets

An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

a. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;

b. it is held for the purpose of being traded;

c. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating cycle

Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalent.

The operating cycle of the Company is less than 12 months.

2.4 Intangible fixed asset and amortisation

Intangible fixed assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it relates. Intangible assets are amortised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over their useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the assets. Accordingly, at present, these are being amortised on straight line basis over a period of 3 years.

Amortisation method and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. If the useful life of an asset is estimated to be significantly different from the previous estimates, the amortisation period is changed accordingly. If there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of economic benefits from the asset, the amortisation method is changed to reflect the changed pattern.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use and disposal. Losses arising from retirement and gains or losses arising from disposal of intangible assets which are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.5 Impairment of assets

In accordance with Accounting Standard 28 - Impairment of Assets (AS 28), the carrying amounts of the Company''s assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indications exist, the assets'' recoverable amount is estimated, as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. If at the Balance Sheet date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount, subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.

2.6 Investments

Investments that are not readily realisable and intended to be held for more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as non-current investments.

Long term investments are carried forward at cost less other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined separately for each individual investment.

2.7 Revenue recognition

a) Product sales

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are passed onto the customers. The amount recognised as revenue is exclusive of sales tax/ value added tax and is net of returns, trade discounts, quantity discounts and rebates.

b) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amount invested and the rate applicable.

c) Other

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises.

2.8 Foreign exchange transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the respective transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the year end exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.9 Taxation

Income-tax comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the year determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the year).

The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the asset can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation and carried forward losses under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of the assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonable/ virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is recognised as current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The credit available under the Act, in respect of MAT paid is recognised as asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set- off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists.

2.10Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity and equivalent dilutive equity shares outstanding during the year, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

A disclosure by way of a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or present obligation that may, but probably will not; require an outflow of economic resources. Where there is a possible obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of economic resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
