SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Statement of compliance

The company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 as applicable. The financials for the year ended March 31, 2018 of the company are the first financial statements prepared in compliance with Ind AS. The date of transition to Ind AS is April 1, 2016. The financial statements up to the year ended March 31,2017, were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (“l-GAAP”) and other relevant provisions of the Act. Reconciliations and description of the effect of the transition to Ind AS from Indian GAAP is given in NoteNo.34.

2. Basis of accounting

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis as stated in the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act’). The Ind AS are prescribed under Sectionl 33 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given i n exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fairvalue measurementin its entirety:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at measurement date;

- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or in directly; and

- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs forthe valuation of assets/liabilities

3. Presentation of financial statements

The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). The statement of cash flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash flows”. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards.

4. Operating cycle for current and non-current classification

Operating cycle forthe business activities of the company covers the duration of the specific project/contract/product line/service including the defect liability period wherever applicable and extends up to the realization of receivables (including retention monies) within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.

5. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized based on nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and recovered with reasonable certainty. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

- Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have been passed, provided all the following conditions are satisfied:

a) Significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer;

b) The company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the good sold;

c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and

e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

- Revenue from sale of software products is recognized when the sale is completed with the passing of title to the customers and revenue from software development on the time-and-material basis is recognized based on software developed and billed to clients as perthe terms of contracts.

- Revenue from Technical Services is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period in which such services are rendered.

- For contracts where progress billing exceeds the aggregate of contract costs incurred to-date and recognised profits (or recognised losses, as the case may be), the surplus is shown as the amount due to customers. Amounts received before the related work is performed are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as a liability towards advance received. Amounts billed for work performed but yet to be paid by the customer are disclosed in the Balance Sheet as trade receivables. The amount of retention money held bythe customers isdisclosed as part of other current assets and is reclassified as trade receivables when it becomes due for payment

- Revenue from Maintenance Contracts is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period in which such services are rendered.

- 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, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life ofthe financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

- Revenue from Projects Division is recognized on pro-rate basis as per the terms of the contract over the life of the project.

- Other operational revenue represents income earned from the activities incidental to the business and is recognised when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms ofthe contract.

6. Exceptional Items

Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature duringthe ordinary course of business but lead to i ncrease / decrease i n profit / loss for the year.

7. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

PPE is recognised when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment, if any. Property, plant and equipment acquired on hire purchase basis are recognised at their cash values. Cost includes professional fees related to the acquisition of PPE and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the company’s accounting policy.

For transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to adopt as deemed cost, the carrying value of PPE measured as per l-CAAP less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment on the transition date of April 1, 2016. In respect of revalued assets, the value as determined by values as reduced by accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment is taken as cost on transition date.

PPE not ready for the intended use on the date ofthe Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”. (Also refer to policies on leases, borrowing costs, impairment of assets and foreign currency transactions infra).

Depreciation is recognised using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation method is reviewed at each financial year end to reflect the expected pattern of consumption ofthe future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful life and residual values are also reviewed at each financial year end and the effect of any change in the estimates of useful life/residual value is accounted on prospective basis.

Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life ofthe remaining asset, useful life of thatsignificant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

8. Investment property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16’s requirement for cost model. An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition ofthe property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

9. Intangible assets

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost.

Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets are amortized on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortization and useful life is being reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

10.lmpairment of assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment:

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized fortheassetin prioryears.

11 .Employee Benefits

Shortterm employee benefits:

Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia and performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Post-employment benefits:

Provident Fund

The company makes contribution to Provident Fund administered by the Central Government under The Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and recognised the same as an expense in the profit and loss account.

Gratuity

For defined post-employment benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement ,comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

12.Leases

The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of inception.

(i) Finance leases

a) Leases where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets are classified as finance leases. Assets under finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

b) Assets given under a finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognised over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

(ii) Operating leases:

The leases which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases.

a) Lease rentals on assets under operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

b) Assets leased out under operating leases are continued to be shown under the respective class of assets. Rental income is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

13.Financial Instruments

Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are 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 as the case may be, the fair value of such assets or liabilities, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

13.1 Financial assets

A. Financial asset is

1. Cash/ Equity Instrumentof another Entity,

2. Contractual rightto:

a) Receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or

b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the Entity.

A. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortized cost or at fair value depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:

i) Investments in debt Instruments that are designated as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - at fair value.

ii) Other investments in debt instruments at amortized cost, subject to following conditions:

- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

- The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

iii) Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (unless the same are designated as fair value through profit or loss)

- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

- The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

iv) Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiary, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment.

v) Investment in preference shares of the subsidiary companies are treated as equity instruments if the same are convertible into equity shares or are redeemable out of the proceeds of equity instruments issued for the purpose of redemption of such investments. Investment in preference shares not meeting the aforesaid conditions are classified as debt instruments at FVTPL.

vi) Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading and the company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest, dividend and exchange difference (on debt instrument) is recognised in profit or loss and changes in fair value (other than on account of such income) are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in other equity. On disposal of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other equity is reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of investments.

B. A financial asset is primarily derecognised when:

i) The right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or

ii) The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amounts measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

C. Impairment of financial assets: The Company recogn ises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, which involves use of a provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted under Ind AS 109. Impairment loss on investments

13.2 Financial liabilities

Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to

a) Deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or

b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the Entity.

Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at the amount of impairment loss allowance or the amount recognised at inception net of cumulative amortisation, whichever is higher. All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.

Financial liability is derecognised when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.

13.3 Fair value of financial instruments

In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value and such value may or may not be realized.

13.4 Fair value measurement

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

a) In the principal market forthe asset or liability, or

b) In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the assetor liability.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizingthe use of unobservable inputs.

14. Inventories

Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:

a) Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

b) Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods.

Assessment of net realisable value is made in each subsequent period and when the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realisable value because of changed economic circumstances, the write-down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower ofthe cost and the revised net realisable value.

15.Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being subject to more than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.

16. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventoried as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

17. Foreign currencies

i) The functional currency and presentation currency of the company is Indian Rupee.

ii) Transactions in currencies other than the company’s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported usingthe closing rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

a) exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings; and

b) exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

18.Taxes on income

Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax

Current Tax

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or 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.

19.Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognised only when:

a) the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provision is measured usingthe cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows.

Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.

20.Statementof Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities based on the available information. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the net profit for the effects of:

i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;

ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates; and

iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

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.

21 .Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per equity share is computed bydividingthe net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equ ity shares outstandi ng du ri ng the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.

22.Critical Accounting Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could resultin outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities affected in future periods. The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.

Revenue recognition

The Company uses the stage of completion method using survey method and /or on completion of physical proportion of the contract work to measure progress towards completion in respect of construction contracts. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, recognized revenue and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable.

key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerningthe future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Depreciation/ amortisation and Useful life of Property, Plant and equipment

The company reviews the estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates. During the current year, there has been no change in life considered for the assets.

Recoverability of trade receivables

Judgements are required in assessingthe recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered to determine the provision include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non payment.

Estimation of net realizable value of inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair value. In estimating the net realisable value / Fair value of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of future selling prices and costs necessary to make the sale.

Provision for employee benefits

The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting period. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

23. First time adoption of Ind AS

The company has prepared opening Balance Sheet as per Ind AS as of April 1,2016 (transition date) by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, derecognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted to be recognised by Ind AS, reclassifying items from l-GAAP to Ind AS as required, and applying Ind AS to measure the recognised assets and liabilities. The exemptions availed by the company under Ind AS 101 are as follows:

i) The company has adopted the carrying value determined in accordance with l-CAAP for all of its property plant & equipment as deemed cost of such assets at the transition date.

ii) The estimates as at April 1, 2016 and at March 31, 2017 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with l-GAAR 12.1 5,82,420 shares are pledged (previous year 5,82,420 shares) in favour of Canara Bank as per terms and conditions of their sanction letters

2. USE OF ESTIMATES:

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Difference between the actual and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialized.

2. Fixed Assets & Depreciation:

i. Fixed assets are stated at the cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises purchase price, duties, levies and any other costs relating to the acquisition and installation of the assets.

4. Expenditure:

Expenses are accounted on the accrual basis and provisions are made for all known losses and liabilities. The cost of software purchased for use in software development and services is charged to revenue in the same year. Provisions for deductions towards under performance of service level deliverables on services are estimated by the management, determined on the basis of past experience.

5. Inventories:

Items of inventories are measured at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprise of all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other cost incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and condition. Raw materials and the finished goods are valued on the basis of First in First out (FIFO) method.

6. Investments:

i. Long-Term Investments are carried at cost, and provision is made to recognize any decline, other than temporary, in the value of such investment.

ii. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and quoted/fair value, computed category wise.

7. Impairment of Assets:

An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.
