1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies and measurement bases summarised below. These were used throughout all periods presented in the financial statements, except where the Company has applied certain accounting policies and exemptions upon transition to Ind AS.
1.1 Current - non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the normal operating cycle of the company;
- it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
- it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or
- 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 period.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle of the Company;
- it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
- it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
- the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 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 the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
Based on the nature of operations and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle being a period of 12 months for the purpose of classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
1.2 Functional and presentation currency
The management has determined the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates i.e., functional currency, to be Indian Rupees (â). The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the Companyâs functional and presentation currency. All amounts have been rounded to nearest lakhs upto two decimal places, unless otherwise stated.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction to the foreign currency account.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities remained unsettled on reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on reporting date. Gains/(losses) arising on account of realisation/settlement of foreign exchange transactions and on translation of monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Foreign exchange gains/(losses) arising on translation of foreign currency monetary loans are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on net basis.
1.3 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, regardless of when the payment is being made.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts. Revenue is recorded provided the recovery of consideration is probable and determinable.
(i) Revenue from sale of goods/value added construction material is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of goods. The Company collects all relevant applicable taxes etc. on behalf of the Statutory Authorities and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
(ii) Revenue from equipment renting services (including relevant manpower and supervision) is recognized when services are performed usually on a time proportion basis as per the terms of the contract. The Company collects applicable taxes on behalf of Statutory Authorities and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
(iii) Revenue from management and maintenance services are recognized on pro-rata basis over the period of contract as and when services are rendered. The Company collects applicable taxes on behalf of Statutory Authorities and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
(iv) Income from construction, advisory and other related services is recognized on an accrual basis.
(v) Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and rate applicable.
(vi) Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established, at the balance sheet date.
(vii) Profit on sale of investment is recognized on the date of its sale and is computed as excess of sale proceeds over its carrying amount as on date of sale.
1.4 Investments in subsidiaries
Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries are stated at cost as per Ind AS 27 âSeparate Financial Statementsâ.
1.5 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing cost includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises: (a) its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates; (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
The cost of improvements to assets, if recognition criteria are met, has been capitalised.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment) is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss when property, plant and equipment is derecognised. The carrying amount of any component accounted as a separate component is derecognised, when replaced or when the property, plant and equipment to which the component relates gets derecognised.
Subsequent costs
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.
Capital work-in-progress
Cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for use as at the reporting date are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values and is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
Depreciation on all tangible assets is provided on straight line method at the rates computed on the basis of useful life provided in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/ sold during the year. All fresh capitalisations are depreciated on a pro-rata basis from the date the asset is ready to put to use subject to transitional provisions of Schedule II.
1.7 Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired are recognised only if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of assets can be measured reliably. The other intangible assets are recorded at cost of acquisition including incidental costs related to acquisition and installation and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
Gain or losses arising from de-recognition of an other intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the other intangible asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure on other intangible assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, as incurred.
Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful life from the date the assets are available for use, as mentioned below:
Description of asset : Estimated life Computer software : 4 years
Land-Leasehold : 11 years (as per terms of agreement)
1.8 Operating leases
Company is lessee
Lease payments in respect of assets taken on operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.
1.9 Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method and includes purchase price, and all direct costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
1.10 Impairment of non-financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication of impairment exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash generating units (CGUs).
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
1.11 Fair value measurement
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured and disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
1. Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
2. Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e.., as prices) or indirectly (i.e.., derived from prices)
3. Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
1.12 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
I. Financial assets
i) Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value and transaction costs that is attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets is also adjusted.
ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of both:
(a) business model for managing the financial assets, and
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
(ii) 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.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and
(ii) 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.
A Financial Asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and on 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.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of trade receivables, the Company follows the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments- for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk of trade receivable. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises an associated liability.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the assetâs carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
II. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value minus, in the case of financial liabilities not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the liability.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities other than classified as FVTPL, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
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 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 the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
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 assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
1.13 Stock based compensation
Share based compensation benefits are provided to employees via Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOSs). The employee benefits expense is measured using the fair value of the employee stock options and is recognised over vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity. The vesting period is the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. On the exercise of the employee stock options, the employees of the Company will be allotted equity shares of the Company.
1.14 Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefit liabilities such as salaries, wages and bonus, etc. that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employeesâ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Post-employment benefit plans
Defined contribution plans
The Company pays provident fund contributions to the appropriate government authorities. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefits expense when they are due.
Defined benefit plans
The Company has unfunded gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employeeâs length of service and final salary. The liability recognised in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans as the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date. Management estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. Actuarial gains/losses resulting from re-measurements of the liability are included in other comprehensive income.
Other long-term employee benefits
i. Compensated absences
The benefits under compensated expenses are accounted as other long-term employee benefits. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of compensated absences is the amount of benefit to be settled in future, that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous years. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurements are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
ii. Others
The Companyâs net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of benefit to be settled in future, that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and previous years. The benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The obligation is measured on the basis of an actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurements are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
1.15 Income tax
Tax expense recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax except the ones recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year and is computed in accordance with relevant tax regulations. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and corresponding amount used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets on unrealised tax loss are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss will be utilised against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the Companyâs forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside Statement of Profit or Loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).
Minimum alternate tax (âMATâ) credit entitlement is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period. In the year in which MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. This is reviewed at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent it is not reasonably certain that normal income tax will be paid during the specified period.
1.16 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Board of Directors of the Company who makes strategic decisions and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
1.17 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
Product warranties: The Company gives warranties on certain products and services, undertaking to repair/replace products, which fail to perform satisfactorily during the warranty period. Provision made represents the amount of the expected cost of meeting such obligation on account of repair/replacement. The timing of outflows is expected to be within a period of two years from the date of balance sheet.
Contingent liability is disclosed for:
- Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or
- Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed. However, when realization of income is virtually certain, related asset is recognized.
1.18 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
1.19 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.20 Share issue expenses
Share issue expenses are adjusted against securities premium account to the extent of balance available and thereafter, the balance portion is charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss, as incurred.
1.21 Cash and cash equivalent
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.22 Share capital
Issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as equity share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
1.23 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the related disclosures.
Significant management judgements
Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the Companyâs future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.
Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets - The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.
Recoverability of advances/receivables - At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the management assesses the expected credit losses on outstanding receivables and advances.
Fair value measurements - Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.
Provisions - At each balance sheet date basis the management judgment, changes in facts and legal aspects, the Company assesses the requirement of provisions against the outstanding contingent liabilities. However, the actual future outcome may be different from this judgement.
Significant estimates
Useful lives of depreciable/amortisable assets - Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/ amortisable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utilisation of assets.
Defined benefit obligation (DBO) - Managementâs estimate of the DBO is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Warranty
The Company periodically assesses and provides for the estimated liability on warranty given on sale of its products based on past performance of such products.
Mar 31, 2015
I) Fixed Assets Recognition /measurement
(a) Tangible Assets:
Tangible assets are stated at cost, net of tax / duty credits availed,
wherever applicable, less accumulated depreciation / impairment losses,
if any. Cost includes original cost of acquisition, including
incidental expenses related to such acquisition and installation.
(b) Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of tax / duty credits
availed, wherever applicable, less any accumulated amortisation /
impairment losses, if any. Cost includes original cost of acquisition,
including incidental expenses related to such acquisition.
(c) Capital work in progress
Cost of fixed assets under construction are disclosed under capital
work-in-progress. Advances paid towards acquisition or construction of
fixed assets or intangible assets is included as capital advances under
long term loans and advances.
ii) Depreciation / Amortisation
a) Till the year ended March 31, 2014, depreciation rates prescribed
under Schedule XIV of Companies Act, 1956 were used for charging
depreciation. From the current year, schedule XIV has been replaced by
Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013. Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013
prescribed the useful lives of fixed asset which, in many cases, are
different from lives prescribed under Schedule XIV.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on the straight-line method,
computed on the basis of useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013, on a pro-rata basis from the date the asset is
ready to put to use subject to transitional provisions of Schedule II.
b) Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful life from
the date the assets are available for use, as mentioned below:
Description of asset : Estimated life
Computer softwares 4 years
iii) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired, based on internal or external
factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit. If such
recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit to which the
asset belongs 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 reporting date there is an indication that a previously
assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.
Impairment losses previously recognized are accordingly reversed in the
statement of profit and loss.
iv) Investments
Investments are classified as non-current or current investments, based
on management's intention. Investments that are readily realizable and
intended to be held not more than a year are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as non-current
investments.
Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value
determined on an individual investment basis. Non-current investments
are stated at cost less provision for diminution in their value, other
than temporary, if made in the financial statements.
v) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized :
a) Revenue from sale of goods/value added construction material is
recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of goods.
The company collects all relevant applicable taxes etc. on behalf of
the Statutory Authorites and, therefore, these are not economic
benefits flowing to the company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
b) Revenue from equipment hiring services (including relevant manpower
and supervision) is recognised when services is performed ,usually on a
time proportion basis as per the terms of the contract. The Company
collects applicable taxes on behalf of Statutory Authorities and,
therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the company.
Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
c) Revenue from Facility Maintenance Services and other related
activities are recognised pro-rata over the period of contract as and
when services are rendered. The Company collects applicable taxes on
behalf of Statuory Authorities and, therefore, these are not economic
benefits flowing to the company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
d) Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and rate applicable.
e) Dividend income on equity shares is recognized when the right to
receive the dividend is unconditionally established.
f) Profit on sale of investments is recognized on the date of the
transaction of sale and is computed as excess of sale proceeds over its
carrying amount as at the date of sale.
vi) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is
lower. Cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average
cost method and includes purchase price, and all direct costs incurred
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
vii) Foreign Currency Transactions
a) Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the
foreign currency at the date of the transaction to the foreign currency
account.
b) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are converted to reporting currency
using the closing rate. Non monetary items denominated in a foreign
currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items
which are carried at fair value or any other similar valuation
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates
that existed when the values were determined.
c) Exchange Rate Differences
Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or
restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at
which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss in the year in which they arise except those arising
from investments in non-integral operations.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that in substance forms
part of the Company's net investment in a non-integral foreign
operation are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve in
the financial statements until the disposal of the net investment, at
which time they are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
ix) Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined as the tax payable in respect of taxable
income for the year and is computed in accordance with relevant tax
regulations.
Deferred tax resulting from timing differences between taxable income
and accounting income is accounted for at the current rate of
tax/substantively enacted tax rates as at reporting date, to the extent
that the timing differences are expected to crystallize.
Deferred Tax Assets are recognised where realisation is reasonably
certain whereas in case of carried forward losses or unabsorbed
depreciation, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a
virtual certainty of realisation backed by convincing evidence that
such deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred Tax Assets are
reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at
each reporting date.
x) Deferred Employee Stock Compensation Cost
Stock based compensation expense are recognized in accordance with the
guidance note on 'Accounting for employee share based payments' issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'), which
establishes financial accounting and reporting principles for employee
share based payment plans. Employee stock compensation costs are
measured based on intrinsic value of the stock options on the grant
date. The compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the options.
xi) Leases
Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as expense in the
Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease term.
xii) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the
undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in
which the related service is rendered. The Company's contribution to
Employee Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Schemes (defined
contribution schemes) is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Post employment and other long term employee benefits for its eligible
employees are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and
Loss, for the year in which the employee has rendered services. The
Company has unfunded defined benefit plans, namely compensated absences
and gratuity the liability for which is determined on the basis of
actuarial valuation, conducted on annual basis, by an independent
actuary, in accordance with Accounting Standard 15 (Revised 2005) -
"Employee Benefits" the expense is recognized at the present value of
the amount payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques.
