Accounting Policies of Spice Islands Apparels Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2015

A) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenditure for the year. Although these estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

b) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible 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 and all pre-operative expenses till the commencement of commercial production are capitalized.

Intangible fixed assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

c) Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided for on the straight line method as per the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of installation till the date the tangible assets are sold or disposed.

Intangible fixed assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized as under:

Computer softwares 3YEARS

d) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Consideration is given at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company's assets. If any indication exists, an asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater ofthe net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.

Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. However, the increase in carrying amount of an asset due to reversal of an impairment loss is recognised to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation), had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

e) Investments

Investments are either classified as current or long-term based on the management's intention at the time of purchase. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments are carried at cost and provisions recorded to recognize any decline, other than temporary, in the carrying value of each investment.

f) Valuation of inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:

Raw Materials and accessories : First in first out (FIFO)

Work-in-progress and finished goods (Manufactured) : FIFO and including an appropriate share of Production overheads.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards in respect of ownership of products are transferred to customers.

Revenue from product sales is stated exclusive of returns, sales tax and applicable trade discounts and allowances.

Service income is recognized as per the terms of contracts with customers when the related services are performed, or the agreed milestones are achieved.

All other items of income are accounted on accrual basis except interest on Income Tax refund and dividend income which are accounted on receipt basis.

Export entitlements/incentives are recognized as income when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the relevant scheme is established in respect of the exports made and where there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

Profit on sale of investments is recorded on transfer of title from the company and is determined as the difference between the sales price and then carrying value of the investment.

h) Employee Benefits

Liability for employee benefits, both short and longterm,for present and past services which are due as per the terms of the employment are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 15 " Employee Benefits" notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.

A. Gratuity:

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering all eligible employees of the Company. The plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment in an amount equivalent to 15 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. Contributions to Gratuity fund are made to recognized funds managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Company accounts for the liability for future gratuity benefits on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.

Contributions payable to the recognised provident fund, which is defined contribution scheme, are charged to the profit and loss account.

B. Short Term Employees Benefits:

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the profit and loss account of the year in which the related service is rendered. These benefits include leave travel allowance, bonus/performance incentives and leave encashment.

i) Income tax expense

Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax charge or credit.

Current tax:

The current charge for income taxes is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to the Company.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e, the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward.

In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on accounting for credit available in respect of Minimum Alternate Tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit & loss and shown as "MAT credit Entitlement".

The company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

Deferred tax:

Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are written-down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized.

j) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are recorded using the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the profit and loss account.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at year-end rates. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the profit and loss account. Non-monetary assets are recorded at the rates prevailing on the date of the transaction.

k) Leases

Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of liability. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs of lease are capitalized.

A leased asset is depreciated on straight line basis using the rates and in the manner prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the company will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, the capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of lease term or the useful life envisaged in Schedule II to Companies Act, 2013.

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

m) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

n) Provisions and contingent liabilities

The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past 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 possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent Assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

o) Earnings per share

In determining earnings per share, the company considers the net profit after tax and includes the post tax effect of any extraordinary/exceptional item. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per Share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. 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 dilutive potential equity shares 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).

p) Accounting policies, which are not specifically referred to, are consistent with generally accepted accounting policies.

(B) USEOFESTIMATES

The preparation of the 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 revenues and expenditure for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.

(C) FIXED ASSETS

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on an appropriated is count factor.

Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. However, the increase in carrying amount of an asset due to reversal of an impairment loss is recognized to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation), had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

(F) INVESTMENTS

Investments are either classified as current or long-term based on the management's intention at the time of purchase. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value.
