BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a) Compliance with Ind AS
The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the relevant amendment rules issued thereafter. The presentation of the Financial Statements is based on Ind AS Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised, and future periods are affected. Key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of impairment of investments, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation of deferred tax assets, provisions and contingent liabilities and fair value measurement of financial instruments have been discussed below. Key source of estimation of uncertainty in respect of revenue recognition and employee benefits have been discussed in their respective policies.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or amortized cost.
d) Functional currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company. The Functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. All amounts are in Indian Rupees INR except share data, unless otherwise stated.
e) Operating cycle
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
I. Assets: An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i. It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the companyâs normal operating cycle.
ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded.
iii. It is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv. It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
II. Liabilities: A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i. It is expected to be settled in the companyâs normal operating cycle.
ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded.
iii. It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv. The company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
f) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Companyâs accounting policies, the management of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these 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 in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that the management has made in the process of applying the Companyâs accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
Provision and contingent liability
On an ongoing basis, Company reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Loss Contingencies that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies Liabilities likelihood, which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements. Gain contingencies are not recognized until the contingency has been resolved and amounts are received or receivable.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. As at March 31, 2023 management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Company. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.
g) Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets
I. Tangible asset and capital work-in-progress
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Direct costs are capitalized until such assets are ready for use. Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of fixed asset that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date.
Property, plant & equipment is eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss. The cost of the tangible assets not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date together with all related expenses are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such asset under carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss (if any).
III. Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the year is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on Property, Office Equipment are provided on straight line method over the useful lives of assets, at the rates and in the manner specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Act. Freehold land is not depreciated.
h) Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments. Non-current Investments are carried at cost less diminution in value other than temporary diminution determined separately for each individual investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is done separately in respect of each category of investment.
i) Measurement of fair values
Number of Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
⢠Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
⢠Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
⢠Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
a) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
⢠Sales are recognized on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer as per the terms of contract and no uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from sales of goods. It also includes goods and services tax and price variation based on the contractual agreement. It is measured at fair value of the consideration received.
⢠Income from services is recognized as they are rendered, based on agreement/arrangement with the concerned customers.
⢠Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive the income is established.
b) Provision for Current and Deferred Tax:
Current tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income for the current accounting period in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the rules framed there under.
Deferred tax is recognized using the Balance Sheet approach on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and these relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and are intended to settle current tax liabilities, and assets on a net basis or such tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
In the event of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses under tax laws, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize such assets.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except when the same relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax relating to such items are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
The basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
d) Leasesi) . Finance Lease: as a Lessee:
Leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are transferred to the Lessee, are classified as finance lease. The assets acquired under finance lease are capitalized at lower of fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease and disclosed as leased assets. Such assets are amortized over the period of lease or estimated life of such asset, whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on implicit rate of return. Lease management fees, lease charges and other initial direct costs have been capitalized.
ii) . Operating Lease: as a Lessee:
Leases, where significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases and lease rentals thereon are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the companyâs functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
f) Property, Plant and Equipment
Tangible asset and capital work-in-progress
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Direct costs are capitalized until such assets are ready for use. Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of fixed asset that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date.
Property, plant & equipment is eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss. Cost of the tangible assets not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date together with all related expenses are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress.
Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognized as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of incurrence.
g) Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the year is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on Property, Office Equipment are provided on straight line method over the useful lives of assets, at the rates and in the manner specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Act. Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of installation or acquisition and in case of Projects from the date of commencement of commercial production. Depreciation on de-ductions/disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis up to the date of deduction/disposal.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss (if any). Intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.
Computer software is amortized on straight line basis over a period of:
(a) The EQUIPPP Trademarkâs useful life is expected to be forty years from 2015, hence for the Company EQUIPPP Social lmpact Technologies Limited, introduced this Asset into the company in Jun 2021, hence it can use the said assets for next 34 yrs.
(b) The Newly trademarked EQUIPPP ix IPâs useful life is expected to be forty years from 2022, hence for the Company EQUIPPP Social lmpact Technologies Limited, it can use the asset for next 40 yrs.
The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortization period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortization period is revise to reflect the changes pattern, if any.
i) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with banks that are readily convertible into cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
j) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated and ultimately reconciled to the Closing cash and bank balance.
k) Employee benefitsi. Short-term Employee Benefits:
Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense on accrual basis.
ii. Defined Contribution Plan:
Contribution payable to recognized provident fund and approved superannuation scheme, which are substantially defined contribution plans, is recognized as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, as and when, they are incurred. The provident fund contribution (when applicable) as specified under the law is paid to the Provident Fund to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination/resignation is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of completed years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and Company makes annual contributions to the Group Gratuity cum Life Assurance Schemes administered by the LIC of India, a funded defined the most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity has not been carried out as at March 31st, 2023. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
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, is disclosed as a contingent liability.
Contingent liabilities are also 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.
Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
m) . Financial instrumentsi. Recognition and Initial recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issues of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition.A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
ii. Classification and Subsequent measurement Financial Assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
⢠amortized cost.
⢠FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
⢠The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: Business model assessment
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether managementâs strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets.
⢠How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Companyâs management.
⢠The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed.
⢠How managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
⢠The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for de-recognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Companyâs continuing recognition of the assets. Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest For the purposes of this assessment, âprincipalâ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. âInterestâ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
⢠Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows.
⢠Terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features.
⢠Pre-payment and extension features; and
⢠Terms that limit the Companyâs claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A pre-payment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the pre-payment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract.
Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual paramount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost:
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Classification, Subsequent measurement and gains and losses financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
iii. DerecognitionFinancial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not de-recognized.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are credit impaired. A financial asset is âcredit impairedâ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
⢠Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer.
⢠The restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise.
⢠It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
⢠The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured as 12 month expected credit losses:
⢠debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
⢠Other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
⢠Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the trade receivable does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
n) Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19
The Company has made detailed assessment of its liquidity position for the next year and the recoverability and carrying value of its assets comprising property, inventory and trade receivables. Based on current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The Company continues to evaluate them as highly probable considering the orders in hand. The situation is changing rapidly giving rise to inherent uncertainty around the extent and timing of the potential future impact of the COVID-19 which may be different from that estimated as at the date of approval of the financial results. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes arising of future economic conditions and impact on its business.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTSA) COMPLIANCE WITH IND AS
The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the relevant amendment rules issued thereafter. The presentation of the Financial Statements is based on Ind AS Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires the management of the Company to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods presented. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.
Key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of impairment of investments, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation of deferred tax assets, provisions and contingent liabilities and fair value measurement of financial instruments have been discussed below. Key source of estimation of uncertainty in respect of revenue recognition and employee benefits have been discussed in their respective policies.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value or amortised cost.
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company. Functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. All amounts are in Indian Rupees INR except share data, unless otherwise stated.
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the companyâs normal operating cycle;
ii. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii. it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i. it is expected to be settled in the companyâs normal operating cycle;
ii. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
iv. the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
F) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Companyâs accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the management of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities . The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these 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 in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements that the management has made in the process of applying the Companyâs accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
PROVISION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITY
On an ongoing basis, Company reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Loss Contingencies that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements. Gain contingencies are not recognized until the contingency has been resolved and amounts are received or receivable.
USEFUL LIVES OF DEPRECIABLE ASSETS
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting. As at March 31st, 2021 management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Company. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.
G) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETSI. TANGIBLE ASSET AND CAPITAL WORK-IN-PROGRESS
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Direct costs are capitalized until such assets are ready for use. Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of fixed asset that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date.
Property, plant & equipment is eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss. Cost of the tangible assets not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date together with all related expenses are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress.
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such asset under carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment.
III. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization for the year is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on Property, Office Equipment are provided on straight line method over the useful lives of assets, at the rates and in the manner specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Act. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments. Noncurrent Investments are carried at cost less diminution in value other than temporary diminution determined separately for each individual investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is done separately in respect of each category of investment.
Number of Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICESA) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
i. Sales are recognized on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer as per the terms of contract and no uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from sales of goods. It also includes goods and services tax and price variation based on the contractual agreement. It is measured at fair value of the consideration received.
ii. Income from services is recognised as they are rendered, based on agreement/arrangement with the concerned customers.
iii. Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive the income is established.
B) PROVISION FOR CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX:
Current tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income for the current accounting period in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the rules framed there under.
Deferred tax is recognized using the Balance Sheet approach on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and these relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and are intended to settle current tax liabilities, and assets on a net basis or such tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
In the event of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses under tax laws, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to realize such assets.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.
Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except when the same relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax relating to such items are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
The basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted EPS, profit after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
D) LEASESI) FINANCE LEASE: AS A LESSEE:
Leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item are transferred to the Lessee, are classified as finance lease. The assets acquired under finance lease are capitalised at lower of fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease and disclosed as leased assets. Such assets are amortised over the period of lease or estimated life of such asset, whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on implicit rate of return. Lease management fees, lease charges and other initial direct costs have been capitalised.
II) . OPERATING LEASE: AS A LESSEE:
Leases, where significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases and lease rentals thereon are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the companyâs functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
F) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTTANGIBLE ASSET AND CAPITAL WORK-IN-PROGRESS
Tangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Direct costs are capitalized until such assets are ready for use. Capital work-in-progress comprises the cost of fixed asset that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date.
Property, plant & equipment is eliminated from the financial statements on disposal or when no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss. Cost of the tangible assets not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date together with all related expenses are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress.
Subsequent costs are included in the assetâs carrying amount or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of incurrence.
Depreciation and amortization for the year is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Depreciation on Property, Office Equipment are provided on straight line method over the useful lives of assets, at the rates and in the manner specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Act. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on additions is provided on a pro-rata basis from the month of installation or acquisition and in case of Projects from the date of commencement of commercial production. Depreciation on de-ductions/disposals is provided on a pro-rata basis up to the date of deduction/disposal.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances) and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.Computer software is amortised on straight line basis over a period of Five years.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with banks that are readily convertible into cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit or loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
K) EMPLOYEE BENEFITSI. SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense on accrual basis.
II. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN:
Contribution payable to recognised provident fund and approved superannuation scheme, which are substantially defined contribution plans, is recognised as expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, as they are incurred.
The provident fund contribution as specified under the law is paid to the Provident Fund to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination/resignation is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of completed years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and Company makes annual contributions to the Group Gratuity cum Life Assurance Schemes administered by the LIC of India, a funded defined The most recent actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation for gratuity were carried out as at March 31, 2019. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
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, is disclosed as a contingent liability.
Contingent liabilities are also 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.
Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
L) PROVISIONSI. RECOGNITION AND INITIAL RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issues of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
II. Classification and Subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
1. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
2. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
FINANCIAL ASSETS: BUSINESS MODEL ASSESSMENT
The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
1. The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether managementâs strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets.
2. How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Companyâs management;
3. The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
4. How managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
5. The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Companyâs continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest For the purposes of this assessment, âprincipalâ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. âInterestâ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
1. contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
2. terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features;
3. prepayment and extension features; and
4. terms that limit the Companyâs claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract.
Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual paramount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of
FINANCIAL ASSETS: SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT AND GAINS AND LOSSES
Financial assets at FVTPL: These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST:
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Classification, Subsequent measurement and gains and losses financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
III. DERECOGNITIONFINANCIAL ASSETS
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are credit impaired. A financial asset is âcredit impairedâ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
-significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
-the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise;
-it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured as 12 month expected credit losses:
- debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition. Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
MEASUREMENT OF EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
PRESENTATION OF ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES IN THE BALANCE SHEET
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the trade receivable does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
Mar 31, 2015
(a) Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the 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 2013 Act") / Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956
Act"), as applicable. 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 the previous year.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
(c) Depreciation and amortization
In respect of fixed assets (other than freehold land and capital
work-in-progress) acquired during the year, depreciation/ amortization
is charged on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost of the
assets over the useful lives and for the assets acquired prior to 1
April, 2014, the carrying amount as on 1 April, 2014 is depreciated
over the remaining useful life based on an evaluation:
(d) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Exchange differences
arising on restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency
borrowings relating to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets are
adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and depreciated over the
remaining useful life of such assets. Subsequent expenditure relating
to fixed assets is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an
increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously
assessed standard of performance.
Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at
the lower of their net book value and net realizable value and are
disclosed separately in the balance sheet.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at
each balance sheet date and the cost of fixed assets not ready for
their intended use before such date, are disclosed as capital advances.
(e) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent
expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is
recognized as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits
in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in
which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.
(f) Inventories
Inventories of traded products are valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost comprises purchase price and all incidental
expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and
condition. The Company follows the first in first out (FIFO) method for
determining the cost of such inventories.
(g) Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) Credit entitlement:
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognized, as an Asset only when
and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will
pay normal income tax during the specified year. In the year in which
the Minimum Alternate tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be
recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendation contained
in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of
profit and loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement.Such Assets are
reviewed as at each Balance Sheet and written down to reflect the
amount that will not be available as a credit to be set off in future,
based on the applicable taxation law then in force
(h) Revenue recognition
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.
The revenue from sale of commodities is recognised when all significant
risks and rewards of ownership of goods are passed to the buyer (ie. On
Physical Delivery), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
contracts entered into by the Company with customers.
Brokerage income is recognised when customer orders are executed on the
commodity exchanges. Income from interest on deposits and interest
bearing securities is recognised on the time proportionate method using
the underlying interest rates.
(i) Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the net
profit after tax (including post tax effect of any extraordinary items)
for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. The Company does not have any potentially
dilutive equity shares as at the year-end.
(j) Taxes on income
Income tax expenses comprise of current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax
The current charge for the income taxes is calculated in accordance
with the relevant tax laws applicable to the Company.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax charge or benefit reflects the tax effects of timing
differences between accounting income and taxable income, which
originate during the year but reverse after the tax holiday period.
The deferred tax charge or benefit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where
there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of
realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and written-down or written-up to reflect the amount
that is reasonably / virtually certain to be realised. The break-up of
the major components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as at
balance sheet date has been arrived at after setting off deferred tax
assets and liabilities where the Company has a legally enforceable
right to set-off assets against liabilities and where such assets and
liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing
taxation laws.
(k) Leases
Assets acquired under lease, where the Company has assumed
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as
finance lease. Such leases are capitalised at the inception of the
lease, at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease
payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.
Assets acquired under lease, where a significant portion of the risks
and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are classified as
operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised
as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
(l) Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation
as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected
benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the
contract. The provision is measured at lower of the expected cost of
terminating the contract and the expected net cost of fulfilling the
contract.
(m) Retirement benefits
Provision for gratuity, which is a defined benefit scheme, is accrued
based on actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by
an independent actuary. The Company recognises the net obligation of
the gratuity plan in the balance sheet as an asset or liability
respectively in accordance with AS-15 "Employee Benefits".
Long term compensated absences is accrued based on actuarial valuation
at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary.
Contributions to the employees' provident fund are charged to the
statement of profit and loss. Such contributions are made to the
authorities administering the fund.
(n) Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
indication that any assets may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss. 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 reassessed recoverable amount subject to a maximum of
depreciated historical cost.
(o) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash
nature, any deferrals, or accruals of past or future operating cash
receipts or payments and item of expenses associated with investing or
financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Mar 31, 2014
Overview
Green Fire Agri Commodities Limited ("the Company") was incorporated as
Garden Style Private Limited on 11 June 1991. The name of the Company
was subsequently changed from Northgate Technologies Limited to Green
Fire Agri Commodities Limited on 20 July 2012. The company mainly
engaged in Commodities trading business.
(a) Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting and
comply with the Accounting Standards (''AS'') prescribed by the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (''the Rules'') and the provisions of
the Companies Act, 1956, ("the Act") to the extent applicable. These
financial statements have been prepared and presented in Indian rupees
Rs.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
(c) Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction
less accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets includes
non-refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses
related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of
those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use are capitalised.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at
each balance sheet date are disclosed as "capital advances" under Long
term loans and advances and the cost of fixed assets not ready for
their intended use before such date are disclosed as "capital
work-in-progress" under the head Fixed assets.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method
at rates specified/ estimated by management in compliance with the
rates specified under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.
Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of
installation till the date the assets are sold or otherwise disposed
off. Individual assets costing Rs. 5,000 or less are depreciated in
full in the year of acquisition. Leasehold improvements are amortised
over the primary period of the lease or estimated useful life of the

115 JA of the Income Tax Act 1961 ('IT Act'), in excess of the tax
payable, computed on the basis of normal provisions of the IT Act.
Such excess amount can be carried forward for set off against future
tax payments for ten succeeding years in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the It act. Since such credit represents a resource
controlled by the Company as a result of past events and there is
evidence as at the reporting date that the Company will pay normal
income tax during the specifed period, when such credit would be
adjusted, the same has been disclosed as "MAT Credit entitlement",
under "Loans and Advances" in balance sheet with a corresponding credit
to the profit and loss account, as a separate line item.
Such assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down
to refect the amount that will not be available as a credit to be set
off in future, based on the applicable taxation law then in force.
(m) Provisions and contingent liabilities
the Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation
as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources.Where there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected
benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the
unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract.
the provision is measured at lower of the expected cost of terminating
the contract and the expected net cost of fulflling the contract.
(n) Impairment of assets
the Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
indication that any assets may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognized in the profit and loss account. 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
refected at the reassessed recoverable amount subject to a maximum of
depreciated historical cost.
(o) Leases
Lease payments (excluding cost for services and maintenance) on
operating leases, are recognized as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease
term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to
take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the
lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or
without further payment and the exercise of such option at the
inception of the lease is reasonably certain.
(p) Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash
nature, any deferrals, or accruals of past or future operating cash
receipts or payments and item of expenses associated with investing or
fnancing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and
fnancing activities of the Company are segregated.

(a) Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting and
comply with the Accounting Standards (ÃAS) prescribed by the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (Ãthe Rules) and the provisions of
the Companies Act, 1956, ("the Act") to the extent applicable. These
financial statements have been prepared and presented in Indian rupees.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. actual results
could differ from these estimates. any revision to accounting estimates
is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
(c) Going concern
the Company has the year provided an amount of Rs. 943,310,554 towards
the decline in the value of its long-term investment in its wholly
owned subsidiary Northgate Investments Pte Limited (NIPL). This decline
refects the permanent diminution in the value of the underlying
investment in Axill Europe Limited (AEL) held by NIpl through its
subsidiary globe 7 pte limited. the underlying investment in AEL has
been written down to refect the recoverable values of the fixed asset
of AEL, consequent to the planned liquidation of the company. The
planned liquidation is part of the Groups ongoing restructuring
exercise which has resulted in significant scaling down of its internet
related operations.
Notwithstanding the write-down in investments in NIPL as fully
explained above, the Company believes that it has attained a
sustainable scale of operations in its internet-based operations, which
will continue to generate positive cash flows after meeting its regular
expenses. Hence, these financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis and do not contain any adjustments relating to
recoverability and classification of asset amounts or to amounts and
classifcation of liabilities.
(d) Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction
less accumulated depreciation. the cost of fixed assets includes
non-refundable taxes, duties, freight and other incidental expenses
related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of
those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use are capitalised.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at
each balance sheet date and the cost of fixed assets not ready for
their intended use before such date are disclosed under capital
work-in-progress.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method
at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956,
except for office equipments which are depreciated over a period of 7
years. Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of
installation till the date the assets are sold or otherwise disposed
off. Individual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated in
full in the year of acquisition.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the primary period of the
lease or estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is lower.
(e) Intangible assets and amortization
acquired intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for
their acquisition. Internally developed intangible assets are
capitalized at their cost of development, only if they meet the
recognition criteria of AS 26 "Intangible assets". Intangible assets
are amortised over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line
basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company
for its use.
(f) Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long term investments.
long-term investments are carried at cost less any other-than-temporary
diminution in value, determined separately for each individual
investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and
fair value. the comparison of cost and fair value is done separately in
respect of each category of investment.
(g) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably
measured.
revenue from Information technology services is billed on a Ãcost plus
mark up basis, on services performed and is recognized based on the
terms of the It services agreement with, globe 7 Pte limited,
Singapore.
Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive
the income is established. Interest on bank deposits and loans to
subsidiaries are recognised on the time proportion method using the
underlying interest rates.
(h) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates
prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions or at an average
monthly rate that approximates the actual rate at the date of
transaction. exchange difference arising on foreign currency
transactions settled during the year are recognised in the profit and
loss account.
Monetary Current assets and Current liabilities that are denominated in
foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the
date of the balance sheet. the resultant exchange differences are
recognised in the profit and loss account.
(i) Employee Benefuts
Contributions payable to an approved gratuity fund (a defined benefit
plan), determined by an independent actuary at the balance sheet date,
are charged to the profit and loss account.
provision for leave encashment cost is made on the basis of actuarial
valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent
actuary.
Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund and employee
state insurance scheme, which are defined contribution schemes, are
charged to the profit and loss account.
All actuarial gains and losses arising during the year are recognized
in the Profit and Loss Account of the year.
Short-term compensated absences are provided on an actual liability
basis.
(j) Employee stock option schemes
In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India
guidelines ("the Guidelines"), the excess of the market price of
shares, at the date of grant of options under the employee stock option
schemes, over the exercise price is treated as employee stock
compensation and amortised over the vesting period.
(k) Earnings Per Share
The basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the net
profit after tax for the year by the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating
diluted earnings per share, net profit after tax (including post tax
effect of any extraordinary items) for the year and the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, unless they are
anti-dilutive. the dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless they have been
issued at a later date. the diluted potential equity shares arising out
of employee stock options are issued, have been adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value
(i.e. the average market value of the outstanding shares).
(l) Taxes on Income
Income tax expense comprises current tax, deferred tax and fringe
benefit tax.
Current tax
the current charge for the income taxes is calculated in accordance
with the relevant tax laws applicable to the Company.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax charge or benefit refects the tax effects of timing
differences between accounting income and taxable income, which
originate during the year but reverse after the tax holiday period. the
deferred tax charge or benefit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where
there is reabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred
tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of
realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and written-down or written- up to refect the amount
that is reasonably / virtually certain to be realized. The break-up of
the major components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as at
balance sheet date has been arrived at after setting off deferred tax
assets and liabilities where the Company has a legally enforceable
right to set-off assets against liabilities and where such assets and
liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing
taxation laws.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit entitlement
Mat credit entitlement represents amounts paid in a year under Section
115 JA of the Income tax act 1961 (ÃIT Act), in excess of the tax
payable, computed on the basis of normal provisions of the IT Act.
Such excess amount can be carried forward for set off against future
tax payments for ten succeeding years in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the It act. Since such credit represents a resource
controlled by the Company as a result of past events and there is
evidence as at the reporting date that the Company will pay normal
income tax during the specified period, when such credit would be
adjusted, the same has been disclosed as "MAT Credit entitlement",
under "Loans and Advances" in balance sheet with a corresponding credit
to the profit and loss account, as a separate line item.
Such assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down
to refect the amount that will not be available as a credit to be set
off in future, based on the applicable taxation law then in force.
Fringe benefit tax
Before the same was abolished with effect from 1 April 2009, the
Company used to provide for and disclose Fringe Benefit Tax (ÃFBT) in
accordance with the provisions of Section 115 WC of the Income Tax Act,
1961 and guidance note on FBT issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI).
(m) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
the Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation
as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected
benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the
contract. the provision is measured at lower of the expected cost of
terminating the contract and the expected net cost of fulflling the
contract.
(n) Impairment of Assets
the Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
indication that any assets may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If
such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognized in the profit and loss account. 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
refected at the reassessed recoverable amount subject to a maximum of
depreciated historical cost.
(o) Leases
Lease payments (excluding cost for services and maintenance) on
operating leases, are recognized as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease
term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to
take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the
lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or
without further payment and the exercise of such option at the
inception of the lease is reasonably certain.
