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 cost.

Segment revenue, Segment expenses, Segment assets and Segment 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."

A. Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis and in line with accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as applicable, and the provisions of Companies Act, 1956. The Company is currently facing a dilemma of reviving from liquidity crunch caused mainly due to the global meltdown and honoring its substantial debt obligation. The Management believes this to be only a temporary mismatch between the timing of the fund flows which would be resolved once the Company''s production cycle reboots itself entailing completion and delivery of its vessels under construction. Considering the same, its case was referred to CDR Mechanism which is a voluntary non statutory system comprising of certain major Banks and Financial Institutions and the CDR Cell, for the Company''s financial restructuring. A financial restructuring scheme has been drawn up and commenced to be implemented for helping the Company in achieving its objective of revival and that of continuing its operations as a normal business entity. Considering the magnitude and far-reaching effects of this restructuring scheme, it would be safe to say that successful and complete implementation of this scheme in form and in substance is a newly evolved assumption for considering the Company to be a going concern.

b. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of income and expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates are provision for income taxes and accrued income.

c. Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes all expenses incurred to bring the assets to its present location and condition.

d. Capital Work in progress

Capital work in progress includes the cost of fixed assets that are not ready to use at the balance sheet date and advances paid to acquire the same before the balance sheet date.

e. Depreciation

i) Depreciation on Fixed Assets has been provided on Straight - Line Method at the rates and in the manner prescribed in schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

ii) Depreciation on revalued amount has been charged to Revaluation Reserve.

iii) Depreciation on additions /deletions is calculated on pro-rata basis from /to the date of such additions / deletions.

iv) Assets costing less than Rs.5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

v) Fixed assets under construction are shown as Capital Work-in-Progress and are not depreciated.

f. Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

g. Investments

Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in value. Current investments comprising mutual funds are stated at the lower of cost and fair value, determined on a portfolio basis.

h. Inventories

i) Raw materials are valued at cost or market price whichever is lower. Cost is taken on FIFO basis.

ii) Stock in process is valued at amount of work done as percentage of contract value duly certified by Chartered Engineer.

iii) In continuation to point no. (a) Basis of preparation w.r.t successful implementation of the restructuring scheme, the said factor plays an important role even for valuation of Inventories which has been presently done considering the Company to be going concern. This is especially applicable to the Company''s Stock which achieves its complete value only upon its use in manufacturing process and subsequent completion, which in turn becomes recoverable from its Owner/Buyer (the Company''s customer). This process validates the accounting practice of debiting the ongoing construction cost to the Stock-in-progress as against accounting it a loss which cannot be recovered due to reasons such as non-completion of vessel.

i. Employee Benefits

Short term benefits

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits.

The present value of any obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Project Unit Completion Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.

When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account.

The scheme drawn up in this regard by the Ministry of Shipping, India specifies that the subsidy due on vessels constructed by Private Shipyards such as the Company itself would be payable only upon completion and delivery of eligible vessels as defined by the scheme. However, since the Company follows accrual concept of accounting, the subsidy recognized in Profit & Loss account is also comprises of vessels under construction. Reference is once again be made to point no. I(a) Basis of preparation, which places reliance on the successful implementation of the restructuring scheme for completion and delivery of the vessel to have an unambiguous understanding of the basis for recognizing the Government subsidy.
