9. Revenue Recognition

Revenue form contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods is transferred to the customer which usually is on delivery of goods to the transporter at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitle in exchange for those goods. Revenue are measured at the fair value of the consideration receive or receivable and net of indirect taxes.

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of promise goods to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods transferred to the customer. If the company perform by transferring the goods to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognise for the earned consideration that is conditional. The Company does not have any contract assets as performance under right to consideration occurs with-in a short period of time and all rights to consideration are unconditional.

A contact liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer.

Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the company performs under the contract.

10. Impairment of non- financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a non-financial asset or a group of non-financial assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment loss. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the individual asset/cash generating unit is made.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable amount. Losses are recognised in profit or loss. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares

present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.

17. Borrowing Costs

All other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period for which they are incurred.

Impairment

I. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there are impairment indicators. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the WACC.

ii. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

iii. A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or decreased based on reassessment of recoverable amount, which is carried out if the change is significant. However the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no impairment

4. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include miscellaneous expenditures that are capitalized if specific criteria are met and are amortised over their useful life, generally not exceeding 5 years. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset that is not available for use or is being amortized over a period exceeding 5 years should be reviewed at least at each financial year end even if there is no indication that the asset is impaired.
