NOTE 1 : SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation

a) Statement of Compliance:

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time). For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention except for certain items that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies. The financial statements are prepared on a ‘going concern’ basis under accrual method except for the cash flow information.

b) Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current:

All Assets and Liabilities have been classified as Current or Non-Current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of product & activities of the Company and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has determined its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of Current and Non-Current classification of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

c) Functional and Presentation Currency:

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (?) and all values are rounded to the nearest two decimal of lakhs (''00,000), except when otherwise indicated.

1.2 First-time adoption of Ind AS

Company has prepared the financial statements under Ind AS for the first time for the year ending 31st March 2018. The date of transition to Ind AS is 01.04.2016.

For periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principle in India (Indian GAAP). Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for period ending on March 31, 2018, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017. For the purpose, the Company prepared the opening balance sheet as of April 1, 2016 (the transition date), as per Ind AS. Company has applied the Standards only to items / transactions which are material.

1.3 Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its PPE as recognised in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., April 01, 2016.

PPE are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost of PPE includes interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying PPE up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. The cost is net of input tax credit availed. The Company identifies and determines the cost of each part of an item of PPE separately, if the part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of that item of PPE and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining item. Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other costs are recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred as repairs and maintenance. Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest (if any). Advances given towards acquisition of PPE outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-Current Assets. An item of PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

1.4 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase or completion is recognised 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 asset.

1.5 Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Depreciation is provided on straight line method based on the following useful lives / residual values as prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation is charged on a proportionate basis for all assets purchased and sold during the year. Extra Shift Depreciation has been charged, where applicable.

Consideration is given at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of an impairment to a tangible / intangible asset. If any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable value. The impairment loss is charged to statement of profit and loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.

1.6 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. However, materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges.

Work-in-progress and finished goods include an appropriate proportion of freight, overheads, direct costs and excise duty (where applicable).

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.8 Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contract that gives rise to financial assets and financial liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability.

a) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order 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.

b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Reclassification of Financial Instruments

The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.9 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses following hierarchy and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date.

Fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, as described hereunder:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

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 (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

1.10 Provisions and Contingencies

a) Provisions:

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

b) Contingencies:

Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts are treated as Contingent Liabilities. Provision in respect of contingent liabilities if any, is made when it is probable that a liability may be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Show cause notices issued by various Government authorities are not considered as contingent liabilities. However, when the demands are raised against such show cause notices after considering the Company’s views, these demands are either paid or treated as liabilities, if accepted by the company, and are treated as contingent liability, if disputed by the Company. Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of a note. Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in notes.

1.11 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for supply of goods or services net of returns, discounts, rebates and allowances.

a) Sale of Goods:

Sales of goods are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which generally coincides with the despatch of goods to customers. Sales include excise duty (where applicable), but exclude GST and Value Added Tax. Income from sale of electricity is recognized as and when electricity is generated and supplied to the grid.

b) Dividend Income and Interest Income:

Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive it is established. Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis.

c) Insurance claims:

Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.

1.12 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

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

Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

Non-monetary items are recorded at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is measured.

Premium / discount on forward exchange contracts if any are amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date.

1.13 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, gratuity fund and compensated absences.

a) Defined contribution plans:

The Company’s contribution to provident fund and superannuation fund are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

b) Defined benefit plans:

For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

c) Others:

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) comprising of actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability, based on actuarial valuation made by an independent actuary, at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are expected to be settled.

1.14 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. Borrowing costs on general borrowings are determined using a capitalisation rate which is computed as the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Other borrowing costs are accounted as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

1.15 Leases

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalised at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis in net profit in the Statement of Profit & Loss over lease term.

1.16 Taxes on income

a) Current Tax:

Provision for current tax is made after taking into consideration benefits admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and at the rates enacted by the statute on the Balance Sheet date. Assets and liabilities representing current tax are disclosed on a net basis where there is a legally enforceable right to set off and where the Management intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.

b) Deferred Tax:

The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/ virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. MAT is recognised as deferred tax assets in the Balance Sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity respectively.

1.17 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

1.18 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

1.19 Segment reporting

The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organization and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors.

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under “unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities”.

1.20 Cash dividend to equity shareholders of the Company

The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

1.21 Standards issued but not yet effective

The standards issued, but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt these standards as and when they become effective.

a) Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

Ind AS 115 introduces a five step model for the analysis of revenue transactions. The model specifies that revenue should be recognised when an entity transfer control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. The standard is notified on 28.03.2018 and it is applicable for the accounting periods commencing on or after 01.04.2018. Accordingly, this Standard is not applicable for preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31.03.2018. However, application of this standard from 01.04.2018 does not have any impact in the revenue recognition and measurement for the Company.

b) Appendix B to Ind AS 21 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration:

The Appendix clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The Appendix is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. The Company does not anticipate that the application of the new standard in future will have significant impact on the financial statement.

Future results could differ from those estimates. The effects of changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which results are known and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the financial statements.

1.3 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. However, materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges.

Work-in-progress and finished goods include an appropriate proportion of freight, overheads, direct costs and excise duty (where applicable).

1.4 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.5 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

1.6 Depreciation & amortisation

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on straight line method based on the following useful lives / residual values as prescribed in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation is charged on a proportionate basis for all fixed assets purchased and sold during the year. Extra Shift Depreciation has been charged, where applicable.

1.7 Revenue Recognition

Sales of goods are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which generally coincides with the despatch of goods to customers. Sales include excise duty (where applicable), but exclude sales tax and Value Added Tax.

Income from sale of electricity is recognized as and when electricity is generated and supplied to the grid.

Interest income is accounted on accrual basis. Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive it is established.

1.8 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. The cost is net of VAT and CENVAT credit availed.

Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase or completion is recognised 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 asset.

Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest (if any).

1.9 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

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

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the exchange rates on that date; the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

Premium / discount on forward exchange contracts are amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date.

1.10 Investments

Investments are either classified as current or long-term based on Management's intent at the time of making the investment. Current investments are carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments (excluding investment properties) are carried individually at cost less provision made to recognise any diminution, other than temporary, in the value of such investment. Cost of investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Provision is made to recognise any reduction in the carrying value of long-term investments and any reversal of such reduction is credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.11 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, gratuity fund and compensated absences. Defined contribution _plans

The Company's contribution to provident fund and superannuation fund are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an expense as they fall due based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.

Defined benefit plans

For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

Others

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include performance incentive and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability, based on actuarial valuation made by an independent actuary, at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are expected to be settled.

1.12 Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised. Borrowing costs on general borrowings are determined using a capitalisation rate which is computed as the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. Other borrowing costs are accounted as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

1.13 Segment reporting

The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organization and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company.

Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.

Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors.

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities".

1.14 Leases

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis. The Company has not entered into any finance lease arrangements.

1.15 Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

1.16 Taxes on income

Provision for current tax is made after taking into consideration benefits admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and at the rates enacted by the statute on the Balance Sheet date. Assets and liabilities representing current tax are disclosed on a net basis where there is a legally enforceable right to set off and where the Management intends to settle the asset and liability on a net basis.

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

1.17 Impairment

Consideration is given at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the company's fixed asset. If any indication exists, an asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable value. The impairment loss is charged to Statement of profit and loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.

1.18 Provisions and contingencies

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Show cause notices issued by various Government authorities are not considered as contingent liabilities. However, when the demands are raised against such show cause notices after considering the Company's views, these demands are either paid or treated as liabilities, if accepted by the company, and are treated as contingent liability, if disputed by the Company.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of a note. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

1.19 Insurance claims

Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
