Accounting Policies of Sea TV Network Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2015

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.2 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include provision for doubtful debts; future obligations under employees retirement benefit plans, income taxes, post sales customer support and the useful lives of fixed tangible and intangible assets. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could results in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in future periods. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in notes to accounts.

1.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is primarily derived from carriage fee, time and space selling and income from LCO. Revenue is recognized as the related services are performed/ provided to the clients.

The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in its statement of Profit and Loss.

Profit from sale of investments is recorded on transfer of title from the Company and is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying cost of the investment.

Lease rentals are recognized rateably on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, based on rates implicit in the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company's right to receive dividend is established.

1.4 Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by the best estimate of the outflow of economic benefits requires to settle the obligation at the reporting date. Where no reliable estimate can be made, a disclosure is made as contingent liability. A disclosure for a contingent liability is also 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 in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

1.5 Tangible assets 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 assets that are not yet ready for their intended use at the reporting date.

1.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition of such assets and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment.

1.7 Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of assets as per schedule II of the companies Act, 2013 except in case of set top boxes useful lives as estimated by the management. Depreciation for assets purchased/ sold during the period is proportionately charged. The Management estimates the useful lives for the fixed assets as follows:

- For these classes of assets, based on manufacturer's technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above represent the period over which the management expects to use these assets. Hence the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013

Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis commencing from the date of assets is available to the company for its use.

1.8 Impairment

The management periodically assesses, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that an assets may be impaired. If any indications exist, the recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

1.9 Retirement benefits to employees Gratuity

The employees' gratuity scheme is a Defined Benefit Plan (DBP). The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method on the balance sheet date, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The Company recognizes the net liability of the gratuity in the Balance sheet and expenses in statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 15, "Employee Benefits".

Provident Fund

Eligible employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund equal to a specified percentage of salary.

Leave encashment

The obligation for leave encashment is provided on the basis of earned leave standing to the credit of the employees. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method on the balance sheet date, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The Company recognizes the net liability of the leave encashment in the Balance sheet and expenses in statement of Profit and Loss in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 15, "Employee Benefits"

Provisions are recorded when it is estimated that a liability due to disallowances or other matters is probable.

ii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax after certain period and the resultant asset can be measured reliably.

b) Deferred tax

The differences that result between the profit considered for income taxes and the profit as per the financial statements are identified, and thereafter a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recorded for timing differences, namely the differences that originate in one accounting period and reversed in another, based on the tax effect of the aggregate amount of timing difference. The tax effect is calculated on the timing differences at the end of the an accounting period based on enacted or substantively enacted regulations. Deferred tax assets in situation where unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward business loss exists, are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets, other than in situation of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward business loss, are recognized only if there is reasonable certainty that they will be realized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each reporting date.
