1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This note provides a list of significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
(i) Compliance with Ind AS
The standalone financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)(Amendment) Rules, 2016 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2017 and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The accounting policies are applied consistently to all the periods presented in these financial statements.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments); and
- Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value.
(iii) Operating Cycle
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 products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained, on an average its operating cycle for the purpose of current - non-current classification of assets and liabilities to be 24 months.
(iv) Use of estimates and judgement
The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the financial statements are continually evaluated by the Company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the company believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/materialized.
The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.
The said estimates are based on the facts and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting date.
(b) Segment reporting
The Company is primarily engaged in Engineering, Procurement and Construction business (EPC). Information reported to and evaluated regularly by the Chief Operational Decision Maker (CODM) i.e., Managing Director and CFO for the purpose of resource allocation and assessing performance focuses on the business as a whole. The CODM reviews the Company''s performance on the analysis of profit before tax at an overall level. Accordingly, there is no other separate reportable segment as defined by Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments".
(c) Foreign currencies
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period. For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in ''Other income''. The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
(i) Functional currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (''the functional currency''). The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is MBECL''s functional currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in statement of profit and loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains / (losses).
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 was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
(d) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, and value added taxes.
The company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company.
(i) Sale of Goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.
(ii) Revenue from construction contracts
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized by reference to percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred upto the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.
Variation in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent agreed to with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.
(iii) Dividend and Interest Income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder''s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).
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 of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(e) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
(i) Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
(ii) 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 till 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 utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
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 deferred tax asset to be utilised.
(f) Leases
A lease is classified at the inception date as a financial lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Company as a lessee:
Lease rentals are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where-
(i) Another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits the leased asset is derived; or
(ii) The payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases.
Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Company as a lessor:
Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where-
(i) Another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished; or
(ii) The payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases.
(g) Impairment of non-financial assets
Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposits , other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
(i) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment.
(j) Inventories
Inventories consists of raw materials, bought out components and loose tools.
Raw materials,bought out components and loose tools are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises costs of purchases. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of raw materials and stores on weighted average basis, and to bought out components on specific identification on individual cost basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Due allowance is estimated and made for obsolete items, wherever necessary.
(k) Financial liability
Financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
(i) Classification
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities at amortised cost, as required by Ind AS 109. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of liabilities measured at amortised cost net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
(l) Investments and other financial assets
Financial assets are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss, and
- Those measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will be recorded in statement of profit and loss. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
(ii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in statement of profit and loss.
Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are recognized at cost as per Ind AS 27.
(a) Debt instruments measured at amortized cost
-Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
(b) Equity instruments at Fair value through Profit and loss (FVTPL) - The Company subsequently measures all equity investments other than in subsidiaries and joint venture at fair value through profit and loss. Dividends from such investments are recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Company''s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gain/(losses) in the statement of profit and loss. The Company has not selected the irrevocable option of classifying investments to be carried at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for all financial assets is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The Company provides for expected credit loss allowance by taking into consideration historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the company operates. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
For trade receivables and due from customers, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.
(iv) Derecognition of financial asset
A financial asset is derecognized only when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.
(m) Derivatives that are not designated as hedges
Derivatives are initially recognsied at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in other gains / losses. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
(n) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business
(o) Property, plant and equipment
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if:
i. it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and
ii. the cost of an item can be measured reliably.
All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 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. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Spare parts are capitalized when they meet the definition of PPE, i.e., when the company intends to use these during more than a period of 12 months.
(i) Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives.
The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation done by the management''s expert which in a case is different than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013, in order to reflect the actual usage of the assets as given below. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets'' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Management believes that useful lives of these assets reflect the periods over which these assets are expected to be used.
An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount and an impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in statement of profit and loss within other gains/losses.
(p) Intangible assets
(i) Computer Software
Costs incurred on computer software resulting in future economic benefits are capitalized as Intangible Assets.
Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Costs associated with maintaining software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. Cost of purchased software are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is available for use.
(ii) Amortisation methods and periods
Computer software are amortized on a straight line basis over a period of three years.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in statement of profit and loss within other gains/ losses.
(q) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 24 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(r) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit and loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities. The dividends on these preference shares are recognized in statement of profit and loss as finance cost.
Borrowing are derecognised from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as other gains/ losses.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 24months after the reporting period.
(s) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset. . A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(t) Provisions and Contingent liabilities
Provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre - tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the liability. The discount rate does not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure for contingent liability is made.
(u) Employee benefits
(i) Short - term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including compensated absences which are expected to be availed or encashed within 24 months after the year end and non - monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 24 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The obligations are presented as non-current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not expect actual settlement will occur within the operating cycle after the reporting period.
Employees'' State Insurance Scheme: Contribution to Central Government of India administered Employees'' State Insurance Scheme for eligible employees is recognized as charge in Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they are accrued.
(ii) Other long term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave, sick leave and long service award are not expected to be settled wholly within 24 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the yield on government securities at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Re-measurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least the operating cycle after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
The Company operates defined benefit plans such as Gratuity, Post - employment medical obligations and Provident Fund (administered by independent Trust).
The Company provides for gratuity covering eligible employees in accordance with Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment. The gratuity fund is administered by independent Trustees. Plan assets are managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI).
The Company provides for post - retirement medical benefits to eligible retired employees. The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as used for defined benefit plans.
The company has a provident fund benefit plan which is administered by the independent Provident Fund Trust. Aggregate contributions along with interest thereon are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment. The Company make monthly contributions at specified percentage of the employees'' salary to such Provident Fund Trust. The Company has an obligation to fund any shortfall in return on plan assets over the interest rates prescribed by the authorities from time to time. In view of the Company''s obligation to meet the shortfall, it is categorized as a defined benefit plan.
The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of above defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation denominated in INR 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 and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized 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.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss as past service cost.
(v) Contributed equity
Equity shares are classified as equity
The issue expenses of securities which qualify as equity instruments are written off against securities premium account.
(w) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
(x) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
- Profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company
- By the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares. . (note 37)
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in their determination of basic earnings per share to take into account
- The after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity share, and
- The weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and note have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the company''s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
In the process of applying the company''s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
1. Estimation of defined benefits obligation (Note 14)
2. Recognition of deferred tax assets for carried forward tax losses (Note 7)
3. Impairment of trade receivables and due from customers (Note 26)
4. Useful life of property, plant and equipment
5. Expected cost of completion of contracts
6. Decommissioning obligations
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated on an ongoing basis. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognised in the period in which the results are known.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. Pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, till the standards of accounting or any addendum thereto are prescribed by the Central Government in consultation and recommendation of the National Financial Reporting Authority, the existing Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 shall continue to apply. Consequently, these financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 211 (3C) [Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Companyâs normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 24 months for the purpose of current - non current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.2 Tangible Assets, Intangible Assets and Depreciation
(a) Tangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes inward freight, duties and taxes and expenses incidental to and directly attributable to acquisition and installation of fixed assets. Own manufactured assets are capitalized at cost including an appropriate share of directly attributable overheads. Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
(b) Depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis using straight line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. The estimates of useful lives have undergone a change with effect from April 1, 2014, based on technical evaluation and are same as the lives prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, except for certain items of Plant and Machinery with lower useful life as given below: Scaffolding Material: 4 years
(c ) Gains or losses arising from disposal of fixed assets carried at cost are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(d ) Intangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization period is changed accordingly. Computer software is amortized over a period of three years.
2.3 Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.4 Impairments
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an assetâs or cash generating unitâs net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.
2.5 Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date, on which such investment are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognize a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.
2.6 Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using Weighted Average method. Cost comprises of expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing such inventories to their location and condition. Obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks are identified at the time of physical verification of stocks and where necessary, provision is made for such stocks. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.7 Foreign currency translation
Initial Recognition: On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Subsequent Recognition: As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary current assets and monetary current liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the balance sheet. The resulting difference is also recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Forward Exchange Contract: The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge an existing asset / liability, is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.
2.8 Derivative Contracts
