Mar 31, 2018

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

1.0 Operating Cycle and Current versus non-current classification

The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current/ non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities.

1.1 Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (‘^) which is also the functional and presentation currency of the Company.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the functional currency spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the functional currency closing spot exchange rates at the reporting date.

Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.

1.2 Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value upon initial recognition. 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.

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, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

- Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

- Leve 1 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

- Level 3 — Val_uatian techeiiques far which the lawest level input that is significant tea the fair value measurement in unobservable

Far assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categarisatian (based on the lciwest level input thet is ligniftcant ta fhe fair value mesrurement as a whale) at ihe end ot each reparting periad.

Far the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities an the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

1 .3 Revenue recognition

Revenoe is recognized, when it is probable that econamic beneSits associated with a transaction flaws ta the Company in the course of its ordinary activities and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account contractually defined terms of papwent and excluding the taxes ar dueies calle cte d on behalf a f government.

leitrtn Income

Intirest income is accrued an a time basis, by reference ta the principle 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 ta that asset’s grass carrying amount an initial recognition. Interest income is included in other income in the Statement of Profit and La ss.

Dividend

Dividends are recognised in profit or lass only when the right ta receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flaw ta the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

1.4 Taxes

income tax expense comprises ad current tex expense and deferred tax expenses. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in Statement of Profit and Lass, except when they relate ta items that are recognized in other comprehensive in came or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in ether camprshensive income or direcrly in equity, respectively.

Cumnt income tax

Current tax is the amount of tax payable an the taxable income far the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act of the respective jurisdiction. The current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted, at the repddtiog date.

Defend tax

Dtferred fax is eecognized using the Balance Sheet approach an temporary diffecences arising between the tax basrs oS aesets and liabilities and their carrying; amounts. Deeerred laxHabilities tte recognised far all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are rccogniscd for all deductibie temporary differences, the cgrry forward of unusef lox credifs ann any unused tax: lasses. Deferred tox assets acc retagnised to the extent tont it is praoablr that dcxable profit will be available against which thn deductible temporary clifferences, and the cany doioiiard aounused tax credits and unused tax lasses can be utilised, except when the deferred tax asset relating ta the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or lass.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent it is reasonably certain that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

Dividend distribution tax (DDT)

Dividend distribution tax arising out of payment of dividends to shareholders under the Indian Income tax regulations is not considered as tax expense for the Company and all such taxes are recognised in the statement of changes in equity as part of the associated dividend payment.

1.5 Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Cost of property, plant and equipment comprises purchase price, non-refundable taxes, levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Subsequent to initial recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if, 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. Costs in nature of repairs and maintenance are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the written down value method, computed on the basis of useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., 1 April 2016.

1.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. The Company amortises intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over 5 years.

The Company lias elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., 1 April 2016.

1.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesse s wliether thane is anyRs. indication that an asset may b e impaired, based on internal or external factors. If⁷ any such indicetion exiits, the Company estimates the recovcrable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit If such r ec overable amourt of the asse t o r cash geoerating unit to whith the ossat bakings is less than ids carpying amouns, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. Ths reduction is nreated as an impairmeno loss and is recognized in the Statemenn o° Profit and Lots. If, at she reporting data there is an indication that e previously astessod impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount. Impairment losses previously recognized are acco rdingly reversed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.8 Leases

Th e de termination of⁷ whethe r an arrangnmen is ton contain^ a leafe ^fs bared an the substan ce of⁷ the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explieitfy specified in an arrangement.

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership) to the C ompany is da^iSnd as a ⁿnance lease.

Finance leases ere capitalise⁰ at the rommencement of thf lease at the mception date fair value of the loafe^a property or, if lower, at tiff presann value of⁷ the minimum lease payments. Leane payments are apportione° between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and ⁴oss.

A leased asset is deprecieted ovea nhe useful life oⁿ the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated ^ehd liff o^e the asset and the lease nerm.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis as ascalation in lease arrangements are for expected inflationary cost.

1.9) Provisions and contingencies

Pmvitwm

Provision! for legaⁿ claims, cha^ebacks and sales returns are recogmsed when the Company has a present legal or conttructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

P rovisions are mearured at the pre sent: value of⁷ management’s best estimate of the eapenditure re quired So settle thf prf sene obligetion at the end of the reporting period. ''The discount rate used to deierm^lne the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

Contingencies

Contingent liability is disclosed for:

- Possible obligatio ns which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or

- Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the; obligation or a reliable estimate of the amnunt of the obligation cannot bt made.

Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed, unless inflow of economic benefits is probable. However, when realization of income is virtually certain, related asset is recognized.

1.10 Employee benefit s

Defined contribution pirn

The Company’s contribution to provident fund and employee stafe insurance schemes is charged to the S tatement of Protit and Loar. The Company’s contributions towards Provident Fund are deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner under a defined contribution plan. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective fund.

Defined benefitpfcn

The Company has unfunded gratuity as defined benefit plan where the amount that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee’s length of service and final salary. The liability recognised in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans as the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting dfte. Management eitimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independsnt actuaries Actuarial eains/losses resulting from re-measurements of the liability aee included in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits comprise of employee costs such as salaries, bonus etc. is recognized on an undiscounted and aetrual basic during; the period when the employee tendert serike o f the b enefit.

1.11 Investments in subsidiaries

The Company has elected to recognise its investments in equity instruments in subsidiaries at cost in accordance with the option available in Ind AS 27, ‘Separate Financial Statements’.

1.12 Finem^d instrumetits Financial instruments

A pinancial ins trument it any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financed assets

Initial recognition and geatusement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regulat way tcades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

- Debt instruments at amortised cost

- Debt instruments at fair value thtough other comprehensive inc ome (FVTOCI)

- Itebt instruments hnd equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and

- Equity instruments measured at FVTOCI

Debit instruments at amortised cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortised cosi if both the following condkions are met:

- The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

- Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, financial asrets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest tate (EIR) method. Amortised cost ie calculated by taking into account any disceunt or piemium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising;; trom impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

De-recohnitton

The Company de-recognices a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferreg nor retained substantially ali of the ris ks and rewards of the asset, nor trancferred control hf -lie asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of this original carrying imount of the asset and the maximum amount o f c onsideration that the Company couid bi required to repfy.

Impairment of fid atiaial awsets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of⁷ tmpatrment loss:

a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, and bank balance and

b) Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for rtcognition of impairment loss aUowance on other receivables. The application of simplifieg approach does noC require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider —

- All contractual terms of⁷ the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.

- Cash flows from the sale of⁷ collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at fair value on initial recognition. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payablee and othes financial instruments.

Subsequent measu rement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabiltries et fair value through profit or ioss include financi! liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.

Frade nnd other pay ables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided So the Ctmpane pfior to the end of financial year which nre unpaid. ''The amounts are unsecured and are usually pa!d as per agreed tsrms. Trsde and nther payablos are paeasnted as currant liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 montht aftea the reportings period. They are recognised initiaUy at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

DeinmgnitSm

A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing; fioancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of⁷ an existing liability are substsntialiy modified, euch an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

1.13 Contributed equity

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

1.14 Earnings per equity share (EPES)

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.

For the purpose of⁷ calculating diluted earnings per share, (he net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects af (ll dilutive potential equity shares.

1.15 Cash and cash equivalent

Caih and carh equivrlent represenn cash and bank balances and fixed deposits with banks with original maturity of⁷ lesc thtn fhaee months. Cash and cash equivalent are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.16 Cash flow statement

The cash flow statameni is prepared as pier the indirect Method. Cash Flow Statements present the cash flows by operating, financing and investing activities of the Company. Operating cash flows are arrived by adjusting profit or loss before tax for the effects of transactions of a non- cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flow/s.

1.17 Cash divide nd

The Company recognises a liability to make cash dividend to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the Act, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.

In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance note issued by the ICAI, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement profit and loss and shown as MAT credit entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

(n) Earnings per equity share

Basic earnings per equity share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per equity share, the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.

(o) Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on management estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. 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. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

(p) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

(a) Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared under historical cost convention in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India ('Indian GAAP') and comply in all material respects with the mandatory Accounting Standards ('AS') prescribed in the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 ('the Rules'), with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 ('the Act'), pronouncements of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI') and other relevant provisions of the Act. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis and the accounting policies applied by the Company are consistent with those used in the previous year.

Pursuant to the amendment to the Schedule VI to the Act, effective 1 April 2011 the Company has adopted revised Schedule VI for preparation and presentation of the financial statements and have reclassified previous year figures to conform to this year's presentation and classification. Except accounting for dividend on investment in subsidiaries, the adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and measurement principles followed for preparation of financial statements. However, it significantly impacts presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements, particularly presentation of balance sheet.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of such estimates include completeness of contracts, cost estimate to complete contracts, provision for doubtful debts and loans and advances, diminution in the value of long-term investments, income taxes, future obligation under employee benefit plans, unbilled revenue and estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.

(c) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Finance costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready for its intended use.

Gain or losses arising from derecognition of an fixed asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

Assets under installation or under construction as at the balance sheet date are shown as 'capital work-in-progress'.

(d) Depreciation on tangible assets

Depreciation is provided using the written down value method as per the useful lives of the fixed assets estimated by management, or at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Act whichever is higher. The rates used by the Company are:

Leasehold improvements are depreciated on written down value over the lease period of three to five years or useful lives as estimated by management, whichever is lower.

(e) Intangible 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. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development cost, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which is expenditure is incurred.

Research and development cost

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate all the following:

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

- its intention to complete the asset

- its ability to use or sell the asset

- how the asset will generate future economic benefits

- the availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset

- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and the accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized on straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project i.e. the estimated useful life of 10 years. Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

(f) Impairment

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets 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 weighted average cost of capital.

(g) Leases

If there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

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

(h) Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of

cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Sale of goods and services

Revenue from the sale of user licenses for software applications is recognized on delivery or subsequent milestone schedule as per the terms and contract with the customers.

Revenue from services on fixed-priced and fixed time frame contracts is recognized on completion and delivery of services to the customers when the outcome of the contract cannot be assessed with reasonable certainty or on proportionate completion method when there is no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from rendering the services.

Costs and earnings in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue while billings in excess of costs and earnings are classified as unearned revenue. Provision for estimated losses on contracts/engagements is made in the year in which such loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Interest

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rates applicable.

Dividends

Income from mutual fund dividend is recognized when the Company's right to receive payment is established by the reporting date.

Rental income

Rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The excess of market value of the stock on the date of grant over the exercise price of the option is recognized as deferred employee stock compensation and is charged to statement of profit and loss on straight-line method over the vesting period of the options. The unamortized portion of cost is shown under stock options outstanding.

(m) Income taxes

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets and recognizes it to the extent it has become reasonably certain that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
