Accounting Policies of Sanghvi Movers Ltd. Company
(c) Material accounting policies
(i) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions and
translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are
translated into the functional currency
of the Company at the exchange
rates on the date of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into the functional
currency at the exchange rate at the
reporting date. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities that are measured at
fair value in a foreign currency are
translated into the functional currency
at the exchange rate when the fair value
was determined. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities that are measured based
on historical cost in a foreign currency
are translated at the exchange rate at
the date of the transaction. Exchange
differences are recognised in profit or
loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
that relate to borrowings and all other
foreign exchange gains and losses are
presented in the statement of Profit
and loss on net basis.
(ii) Financial Instruments
(a) Non derivative financial
instruments consist of:
⢠financial assets, which include
cash and cash equivalents,
trade receivables, unbilled
receivables, employee and
other advances, investments
in equity and eligible current
and noncurrent assets; and
⢠financial liabilities, which
include borrowings, trade
payables and eligible current
and noncurrent liabilities.
Non-derivative financial
instruments are recognised
initially at fair value. Subsequent
to initial recognition, non-derivative
financial instruments are measured
as described below:
Cash and cash equivalents.
The Company''s cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash on
hand and in banks and demand
deposits with banks, which can be
withdrawn at any time, without
prior notice or penalty on the
principal. For the purposes of the
statement of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, in banks and demand
deposits with banks, net of
outstanding bank overdrafts that
are repayable on demand and are
considered part of the Company''s
cash management system. In the
balance sheet, bank overdrafts
are presented under borrowings
within current financial liabilities.
Investments
Financial instruments measured
at fair value through profit or loss
("FVTPL"):
Instruments that do not meet the
amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria
are measured at FVTPL. Financial
assets at FVTPL are measured
at fair value at the end of each
reporting period, with any gains or
losses arising on re-measurement
recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. The gain or loss
on disposal is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
Interest income is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss for
FVTPL debt instruments. Dividends
on financial assets at FVTPL is
recognised when the Company''s
right to receive dividends is
established.
Investments in subsidiaries:
Investment in equity instruments
of subsidiaries are measured at
cost less impairment.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are
non-derivative financial assets with
fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active
market. These comprise trade
receivables, unbilled receivables,
employee and other advances and
eligible current and noncurrent
assets. They are presented as
current assets, except for those
expected to be realised later than
twelve months after the reporting
date which are presented as
non-current assets. All financial
assets are initially recognised
at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less
any impairment losses. However,
trade receivables and unbilled
receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component
are measured at the Transaction
Price.
Trade payables and other
liabilities
Trade payables are initially
recognised at transaction price,
and subsequently carried at
transaction price.
Other liabilities are initially
recognised at transaction price,
and subsequently carried at
amortised cost using the effective
interest method. For these
financial instruments, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value
due to the short-term maturity of
these instruments.
(b) Derecognition of financial
instruments
The Company derecognises
a financial asset when the
contractual rights to the cash
flows from the financial asset
expire or it transfers the financial
asset and the transfer qualifies for
derecognition under Ind AS 109. If
the Company retains substantially
all the risks and rewards of a
transferred financial asset, the
Company continues to recognise
the financial asset and recognises
a borrowing for the proceeds
received. A financial liability (or
a part of a financial liability) is
derecognised from the Company''s
balance sheet when the obligation
specified in the contract is
discharged or cancelled or expires.
(c) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial
liabilities are offset, and the net
amount presented in the Balance
Sheet when, and only when, the
Company currently has a legally
enforceable right to set off the
amounts and it intends either to
settle them on a net basis or to
realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
(iii) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and
equipment are measured at
cost (cash price equivalent),
which includes capitalised
borrowing costs, less accumulated
depreciation, and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. If
payment is deferred beyond
normal credit terms, the
difference between the cash price
equivalent and the total payment
is recognised as interest over the
period of credit.
If significant parts of an item of
property, plant and equipment
have different useful lives, then
they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of
property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of
an item of property, plant and
equipment is recognised in profit
or loss.
Capital work in progress is stated
at cost and includes the cost of the
assets that are not ready for their
intended use at the Balance Sheet
date.
PPE is derecognised upon disposal
or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use
or disposal. Any gain or loss arising
on derecognition is recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss in
the same period.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is
capitalised only if it is probable
that the future economic benefits
associated with the expenditure
will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost
of items of property, plant and
equipment less their estimated
residual values over their esti mated
useful lives using the straight-line
method and is generally recognised
in the statement of profit and loss.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on property, plant
and equipment is provided over the
useful life of assets as assessed by
the management are in line with
useful lives prescribed in Schedule
II to the Companies Act 2013, as
follows -
Depreciation method, useful lives
and residual values are reviewed
at each financial year-end and
adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions
(disposals) is provided on a
pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the
date on which the asset is ready
for use (disposed of).
(iv) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
are measured at cost of acquisition.
Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at
cost less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses, if any. The
amortisation of an intangible asset
with a finite useful life reflects the
manner in which the economic benefit
is expected to be generated. The
estimated useful life of amortisable
intangibles is reviewed and where
appropriate is adjusted, annually.
The estimated useful lives of the
amortisable intangible assets are
considered as 10 years.
(v) Discontinued Operations and Asset
classified as held for sale.
The Company classifies non-current
assets as held for sale if their carrying
amounts will be recovered principally
through a sale rather than through
continuing use.
Non-current assets held for sale are
measured at the lower of their carrying
amount and the fair value less costs to
sell. Assets and liabilities classified as
held for sale are presented separately
in the balance sheet.
Property, plant, and equipment once
classified as held for sale are not
depreciated or amortised.
Discontinued operation is a component
of the Company that has been
disposed of or classified as held for
sale and represents a major line of
business. The results of discontinued
operation are presented separately in
the Statement of Profit and Loss for all
the periods presented.
(vi) Investment property
Investment properties are measured
initially at cost, including transaction
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties will be stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss, if any.
The Company depreciates building
component of investment property
over 30 years from the date of original
purchase.
Though the Company measures
investment property using cost-
based measurement, the fair value
of investment property is disclosed in
the notes. Fair values are determined
based on an evaluation performed by
an accredited external independent
valuer applying a valuation model
recommended by the International
Valuation Standards Committee.
(vii) Impairment
i. Impairment of Financial assets
The Company applies the expected
credit loss model for recognizing
impairment loss on financial assets
measured at amortised cost, trade
receivables, unbilled receivables,
contract assets, and other financial
assets. Expected credit loss is the
difference between the contractual
cash flows and the cash flows
that the entity expects to receive
discounted using the effective
interest rate.
Loss allowances for trade
receivables, unbilled receivables,
contract assets are measured
at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit loss. Lifetime
expected credit losses are the
expected credit losses that result
from all possible default events
over the expected life of a financial
instrument. Lifetime expected
credit loss is computed based on
a provision matrix which takes
in to account risk profiling of
customers and historical credit loss
experience adjusted for forward
looking information.
ii. Impairment of non-financial
assets
The Company''s non-financial
assets such as property, plant
and equipment, inventories and
deferred tax assets, are reviewed
at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset''s recoverable
amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets
that do not generate independent
cash inflows are grouped together
into cash-generating units (CGUs).
Each CGU represents the smallest
group of assets that generates
cash inflows that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of
other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU
(or an individual asset) is the
higher of its value in use and its
fair value less costs to sell. Value
in use is based on the estimated
future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognised
if the carrying amount of an asset
or CGU exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount. Impairment
losses are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which
impairment loss has been
recognised in prior periods,
the Company reviews at each
reporting date whether there is
any indication that the loss has
decreased or no longer exists.
An impairment loss is reversed
if there has been a change in
the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. Such a
reversal is made only to the extent
that the asset''s carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation
or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised.
(viii) Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit
obligations are measured on
an undiscounted basis and are
expensed as the related service is
provided. A liability is recognised
for the amount expected to be paid
e.g. under short-term cash bonus,
if the Company has a present legal
or constructive obligation to pay
this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee,
and the amount of obligation can
be estimated reliably.
ii. Post-employment benefits
(defined benefit plans)
The Company provides for
retirement benefits in the form of
Gratuity. A defined benefit plan is
a post-employment benefit plan
other than a defined contribution
plan. The Company''s net obligation
in respect of defined benefit plans
is calculated separately for each
plan by estimating the amount of
future benefit that employees have
earned in the current and prior
periods, discounting that amount
and deducting the fair value of any
plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit
obligation is performed annually
by a qualified actuary using the
projected unit credit method.
When the calculation results in a
potential asset for the Company,
the recognised asset is limited
to the present value of economic
benefits available in the form of
any future refunds from the plan or
reductions in future contributions
to the plan (''the asset ceiling'').
In order to calculate the present
value of economic benefits,
consideration is given to any
minimum funding requirements.
Re-measurements of the net
defined benefit liability, which
comprise actuarial gains and
losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the
effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest), are recognised
in OCI. The Company determines
the net interest expense (income)
on the net defined benefit liability
(asset) for the period by applying
the discount rate used to measure
the defined benefit obligation at
the beginning of the annual period
to the then-net defined benefit
liability (asset), taking into account
any changes in the net defined
benefit liability (asset) during the
period as a result of contributions
and benefit payments. Net interest
expense and other expenses
related to defined benefit plans
are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are
changed or when a plan is curtailed,
the resulting change in benefit
that relates to past service (''past
service cost'' or ''past service gain'')
or the gain or loss on curtailment
is recognised immediately in profit
or loss. The Company recognises
gains and losses on the settlement
of a defined benefit plan when the
settlement occurs.
iii. Defined contribution plans
The Company makes defined
contribution to Government
Employee Provident Fund, and
Superannuation Scheme, which
are recognised in the Statement of
Profit and Loss on accrual basis.
A defined contribution plan is a
post-employment benefit plan
under which an entity pays fixed
contributions into a separate
entity and will have no legal or
constructive obligation to pay
further amounts. The Company
makes specified monthly
contributions towards Government
administered provident
fund scheme. Obligations
for contributions to defined
contribution plans are recognised
as an employee benefit expense in
profit or loss in the periods during
which the related services are
rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are
recognised as an asset to the
extent that a cash refund or a
reduction in future payments is
available.
(ix) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue
primarily from crane hiring services
and other ancillary services
associated with crane hiring.
The Company is also involved in
providing turnkey solutions of
equipment erection ("EPC").
Revenue is measured based on
the considerations specified in
a contract with a customer. The
Company recognises revenue
when it transfers control over
service to a customer.
The following table provides information
about the nature and timing of the
satisfaction of performance obligations
in contracts with customers, including
significant payment terms, and the
related revenue recognition policies.
(x) Income tax
Income tax comprises current
and deferred tax. It is recognised
in profit or loss except to the
extent that it relates to an item
recognised directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income
Tax on income for the current
period is determined on the basis
of taxable income and tax credits
computed in accordance with
the provisions of the Income Tax
Act,1961 and using estimates and
judgments based on the expected
outcome of assessments/appeals
and the relevant rulings in the areas
of allowances and disallowances.
Current tax assets and current tax
liabilities are offset only if there is
a legally enforceable right to set
off the recognised amounts, and it
is intended to realise the asset and
settle the liability on a net basis or
simultaneously.
Deferred income tax is provided
in full, using the balance
sheet approach, on temporary
differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and
the corresponding amounts used
for taxation purposes. Deferred
tax is also recognised in respect of
carried forward tax losses and tax
credits.
Deferred tax liabilities are
generally recognised for all
taxable temporary differences
except where the Company is
able to control the reversal of
the temporary difference and it
is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets - unrecognised
or recognised, are reviewed at
each reporting date and are
recognised/reduced to the extent
that it is probable/no longer
probable respectively that the
related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the
tax rates that are expected to
apply to the period when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled,
based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted
by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset if there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current
tax liabilities and assets, and they
relate to income taxes levied by
the same tax authority.
(c) Material accounting policies
(i) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated
into the functional currency of the Company
at the exchange rates on the date of the
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into the functional currency at the exchange
rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets
and liabilities that are measured at fair value
in a foreign currency are translated into the
functional currency at the exchange rate when
the fair value was determined. Non-monetary
assets and liabilities that are measured based
on historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Exchange differences are recognized
in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to
borrowings and all other foreign exchange gains
and losses are presented in the statement of
Profit and loss on net basis.
(ii) Financial Instruments
(a) Non derivative financial instruments
consist of:
⢠financial assets, which include cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables,
unbilled receivables, employee and
other advances, investments in equity
and eligible current and noncurrent
assets; and
⢠financial liabilities, which include
borrowings, trade payables and eligible
current and noncurrent liabilities.
Non-derivative financial instruments are
recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent
to initial recognition, non-derivative financial
instruments are measured as described below:
Cash and cash equivalents.
The Company''s cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash on hand and in banks and demand
deposits with banks, which can be withdrawn
at any time, without prior notice or penalty on
the principal. For the purposes of the statement
of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with
banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that
are repayable on demand and are considered
part of the Company''s cash management
system. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts
are presented under borrowings within current
financial liabilities.
Investments
Financial instruments measured at fair value
through profit or loss ("FVTPL"):
Instruments that do not meet the amortised
cost or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair
value at the end of each reporting period, with
any gains or losses arising on re-measurement
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss. Interest income is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss for
FVTPL debt instruments. Dividends on financial
assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company''s
right to receive dividends is established.
Investments in subsidiaries:
Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries
are measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments that
are not quoted in an active market. These comprise
trade receivables, unbilled receivables, employee
and other advances and eligible current and
noncurrent assets. They are presented as current
assets, except for those expected to be realised
later than twelve months after the reporting
date which are presented as non-current assets.
All financial assets are initially recognised at fair
value and subsequently measured at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any
impairment losses. However, trade receivables
and unbilled receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component are measured at
the Transaction Price.
Trade payables and other liabilities
Trade payables are initially recognised at
transaction price, and subsequently carried at
transaction price.
Other liabilities are initially recognised at
transaction price, and subsequently carried
at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. For these financial instruments, the
carrying amounts approximate fair value due to
the short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognises a financial asset
when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial asset expire or it transfers
the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for
derecognition under Ind AS 109. If the Company
retains substantially all the risks and rewards
of a transferred financial asset, the Company
continues to recognise the financial asset and
recognises a borrowing for the proceeds received.
A financial liability (or a part of a financial
liability) is derecognised from the Company''s
balance sheet when the obligation specified in
the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(c) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset,
and the net amount presented in the Balance
Sheet when, and only when, the Company
currently has a legally enforceable right to set off
the amounts and it intends either to settle them
on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
(iii) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are
measured at cost (cash price equivalent),
which includes capitalized borrowing
costs, less accumulated depreciation, and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. If
payment is deferred beyond normal credit
terms, the difference between the cash
price equivalent and the total payment
is recognized as interest over the period
of credit.
I f significant parts of an item of property,
plant and equipment have different
useful lives, then they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of
property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of
property, plant and equipment is recognized
in profit or loss.
Capital work in progress is stated at cost
and includes the cost of the assets that
are not ready for their intended use at the
Balance Sheet date.
PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when
no future economic benefits are expected
from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognition is recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
same period.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only
if it is probable that the future economic
benefits associated with the expenditure
will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items
of property, plant and equipment less
their estimated residual values over their
estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method and is generally recognized in the
statement of profit and loss. Freehold land
is not depreciated.
Depreciation on property, plant and
equipment is provided over the useful life
of assets as assessed by the management
are in line with useful lives prescribed in
Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013, as
follows -
Depreciation method, useful lives and
residual values are reviewed at each financial
year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is
provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up
to) the date on which the asset is ready for
use (disposed of).
(iv) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are
measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost
less accumulated amortization and impairment
losses, if any. The amortization of an intangible
asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner
in which the economic benefit is expected
to be generated. The estimated useful life of
amortizable intangibles is reviewed and where
appropriate is adjusted, annually.
The estimated useful lives of the amortizable
intangible assets are considered as 10 years.
(v) Discontinued Operations and Asset classified
as held for sale.
The Company classifies non-current assets as
held for sale if their carrying amounts will be
recovered principally through a sale rather than
through continuing use.
Non-current assets held for sale are measured
at the lower of their carrying amount and the
fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities
classified as held for sale are presented separately
in the balance sheet.
Property, plant, and equipment once classified as
held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.
Discontinued operation is a component of the
Company that has been disposed of or classified
as held for sale and represents a major line of
business. The results of discontinued operation
are presented separately in the Statement of
Profit and Loss for all the periods presented.
(vi) Investment property
I nvestment properties are measured initially at
cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, investment properties will be
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment loss, if any.
The Company depreciates building component of
investment property over 30 years from the date
of original purchase.
Though the Company measures investment
property using cost-based measurement, the fair
value of investment property is disclosed in the
notes. Fair values are determined based on an
evaluation performed by an accredited external
independent valuer applying a valuation model
recommended by the International Valuation
Standards Committee.
(vii) Impairment
i. Impairment of Financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit
loss model for recognizing impairment loss
on financial assets measured at amortized
cost, trade receivables, unbilled receivables,
contract assets, and other financial assets.
Expected credit loss is the difference
between the contractual cash flows and the
cash flows that the entity expects to receive
discounted using the effective interest rate.
Loss allowances for trade receivables,
unbilled receivables, contract assets are
measured at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit loss. Lifetime expected
credit losses are the expected credit
losses that result from all possible default
events over the expected life of a financial
instrument. Lifetime expected credit
loss is computed based on a provision
matrix which takes in to account risk
profiling of customers and historical credit
loss experience adjusted for forward
looking information.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company''s non-financial assets such as
property, plant and equipment, inventories
and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount
is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not
generate independent cash inflows are grouped
together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each
CGU represents the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows that are largely
independent of the cash inflows of other assets
or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual
asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair
value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on
the estimated future cash flows, 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
CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying
amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has
been recognized in prior periods, the Company
reviews at each reporting date whether there
is any indication that the loss has decreased or
no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed
if there has been a change in the estimates used
to determine the recoverable amount. Such a
reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s
carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment
loss had been recognized.
(viii) Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations
are measured on an undiscounted basis
and are expensed as the related service is
provided. A liability is recognized for the
amount expected to be paid e.g. under
short-term cash bonus, if the Company has
a present legal or constructive obligation to
pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employee, and the amount
of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Post-employment benefits (defined
benefit plans)
The Company provides for retirement
benefits in the form of Gratuity. A defined
benefit plan is a post-employment benefit
plan other than a defined contribution plan.
The Company''s net obligation in respect
of defined benefit plans is calculated
separately for each plan by estimating the
amount of future benefit that employees
have earned in the current and prior
periods, discounting that amount and
deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation
is performed annually by a qualified actuary
using the projected unit credit method.
When the calculation results in a potential
asset for the Company, the recognized asset
is limited to the present value of economic
benefits available in the form of any future
refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan (''the asset
ceiling'').
I n order to calculate the present value of
economic benefits, consideration is given
to any minimum funding requirements.
Re-measurements of the net defined
benefit liability, which comprise actuarial
gains and losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the
asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are
recognized in OCI. The Company determines
the net interest expense (income) on the
net defined benefit liability (asset) for the
period by applying the discount rate used
to measure the defined benefit obligation
at the beginning of the annual period to the
then-net defined benefit liability (asset),
taking into account any changes in the
net defined benefit liability (asset) during
the period as a result of contributions and
benefit payments. Net interest expense and
other expenses related to defined benefit
plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed
or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting
change in benefit that relates to past
service (''past service cost'' or ''past service
gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is
recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Company recognizes gains and losses
on the settlement of a defined benefit plan
when the settlement occurs.
iii. Defined contribution plans
The Company makes defined contribution
to Government Employee Provident Fund,
and Superannuation Scheme, which are
recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss on accrual basis.
A defined contribution plan is a post¬
employment benefit plan under which
an entity pays fixed contributions into
a separate entity and will have no
legal or constructive obligation to pay
further amounts. The Company makes
specified monthly contributions towards
Government administered provident fund
scheme. Obligations for contributions to
defined contribution plans are recognised
as an employee benefit expense in profit or
loss in the periods during which the related
services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an
asset to the extent that a cash refund or a
reduction in future payments is available.
(ix) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from crane hiring services and other ancillary services associated with crane
hiring. The Company is also involved in providing turnkey solutions of equipment erection ("EPC").
Revenue is measured based on the considerations specified in a contract with a customer. The company recognizes
revenue when it transfers control over service to a customer.
The following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in
contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies.
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the
corresponding amounts used for taxation
purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized
in respect of carried forward tax losses and
tax credits.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognized for all taxable temporary
differences except where the Company
is able to control the reversal of the
temporary difference and it is probable that
the temporary difference will not reverse in
the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets - unrecognized or
recognized, are reviewed at each reporting
date and are recognized/ reduced to
the extent that it is probable/ no longer
probable respectively that the related tax
benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates
that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is
settled, based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
(x) Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It
is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent
that it relates to an item recognised directly in
equity or in other comprehensive income
i. Current income tax
Tax on income for the current period is
determined on the basis of taxable income
and tax credits computed in accordance with
the provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961
and using estimates and judgments based
on the expected outcome of assessments/
appeals and the relevant rulings in the areas
of allowances and disallowances.
Current tax assets and current tax
liabilities are offset only if there is a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognized
amounts, and it is intended to realize the
asset and settle the liability on a net basis
or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full,
using the balance sheet approach, on
temporary differences between the
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
if there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the
same tax authority.
(xi) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
The Company estimates the provisions that have
present obligations as a result of past events,
and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligations. These
provisions are reviewed at the end of each
reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the
current best estimates.
The Company uses significant judgement to
disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent
liabilities are disclosed 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 will be required to
settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of
the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets
are neither recognized nor disclosed in the
standalone financial statements.
(xii) Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner
consistent with the internal reporting provided
to the chief operating decision maker. The Board
of directors monitors the operating results
of all segments separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment. Segment performance
is evaluated based on profit and loss and is
measured consistently with profit and loss in the
Summary Statements.
The operating segments have been identified on
the basis of the nature of services. Further:
i. Segment revenue includes sales and other
income directly identifiable with / allocable
to the segment. Expenses that are directly
identifiable with / allocable to segments
are considered for determining the
segment result.
ii. Expenses which relate to the Company as
a whole and not allocable to segments are
included under unallocable expenditure.
iii. Income which relates to the Company as a whole
and not allocable to segments is included in
unallocable income.
iv. Segment assets and liabilities include those
directly identifiable with the respective
segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities
represent the assets and liabilities that relate
to the Company as a whole and not allocable to
any segment.
Material accounting policies (i) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss,
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and all other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of Profit and loss on net basis.
(ii) Financial Instruments
(a) Non derivative financial instruments consist of:
⢠financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, employee and other advances, investments in equity and eligible current and noncurrent assets; and
⢠financial liabilities, which include borrowings, trade payables and eligible current and noncurrent liabilities.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below:
Cash and cash equivalents.
The Company''s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks, which can be withdrawn at any time, without prior notice or penalty on the principal. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company''s cash management system. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current financial liabilities.
Investments
Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"):
Instruments that do not meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in the statement of profit and loss. The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Interest income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividends on financial
assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company''s right to receive dividends is established.
Investments in subsidiaries:
Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These comprise trade receivables, unbilled receivables, employee and other advances and eligible current and noncurrent assets. They are presented as current assets, except for those expected to be realised later than twelve months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. All financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. However, trade receivables and unbilled receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the Transaction Price.
Trade payables and other liabilities
Trade payables are initially recognised at transaction price, and subsequently carried at transaction price.
Other liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
(b) Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and recognises a borrowing for the proceeds received. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company''s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(c) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(iii) Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost (cash price equivalent), which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment losses, if any. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognised as interest over the period of credit.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Capital work in progress is stated at cost and includes the cost of the assets that are not ready for their intended use at the Balance Sheet date.
PPE is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period.
i. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
ii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is generally recognised in the
(iv) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated. The estimated useful life of amortisable intangibles is reviewed and where appropriate is adjusted, annually.
The estimated useful lives of the amortisable intangible assets are considered as 10 years.
(v) Asset classified as held for sale.
The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use.
Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
Property, plant, and equipment once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.
(vi) Investment property
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties will be stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
The Company depreciates building component of investment property over 30 years from the date of original purchase.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost-based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee.
(vii) Impairment
i. Impairment of Financial assets
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, and other financial assets. Expected credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive discounted using the effective interest rate.
Loss allowances for trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets are measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Lifetime expected credit loss is computed based on a provision matrix which takes in to account risk profiling of customers and historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward looking information.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company''s non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(viii) Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g. under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Post-employment benefits (defined benefit plans)
The Company provides for retirement benefits in the form of Gratuity. A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is
calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (''the asset ceiling'').
In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
iii. Defined contribution plans
The Company makes defined contribution to Government Employee Provident Fund, and Superannuation Scheme, which are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis.
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay
further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(ix) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from crane hiring services and other ancillary services associated with crane hiring. The Company is also involved in providing turnkey solutions of equipment erection ("EPC").
Revenue is measured based on the considerations specified in a contract with a customer. The company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over service to a customer.
Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/reduced to the extent that it is probable/no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
(x) Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income
i. Current income tax
Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961 and using estimates and judgements based on the expected outcome of assessments/appeals and the relevant rulings in the areas of allowances and disallowances.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended
to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
1 Significant accounting policies
a. Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the company at the exchange rates on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss, except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognized in OCI:
- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
b. Financial Instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortized cost;
- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- FVPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investmentâs fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVPL.
Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and Interest
For the purposes of this assessment, âprincipalâ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. âInterestâ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows
- terms that may adjust the contractual rate, including variable interest rate features
- prepayment and extension features; and
- terms that limit the Companyâs claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual paramount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its Balance Sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit or loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
v. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with highly probable forecast transactions arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Company documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
Cash flow hedges
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and accumulated in the other equity under âeffective portion of cash flow hedgesâ. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognized in OCI is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item such as inventory, the amount accumulated in other equity is included directly in the initial cost of the non-financial item when it is recognized. For all other hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in other equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in other equity remains there until, for a hedge of a transaction resulting in recognition of a non-financial item, it is included in the non-financial itemâs cost on its initial recognition or, for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in other equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
c. Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
ii. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and is generally recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as assessed by the management, as follows -
* Based on single shift. Cranes owned by the Company usually work for more than a single shift and hence double shift and triple shift rates are considered, as applicable.
The useful lives assessed by the management is in line with the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).
iv. Reclassification to investment property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.
d. Investment property
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Upon initial recognition, an investment property is measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The management believes a period of 30 years represents the best estimate of the period over which investment properties are expected to be used. Accordingly, the depreciation on the same is provided over the period of 30 years. This is in line with the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognized in profit or loss.
The fair values of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair value is determined by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued.
e. Inventories
Inventories comprise of stores and spare parts and are valued at cost on first in first out (FIFO) basis, net of Goods and Service Tax credit.
f. Impairment
i. Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on:
- financial assets measured at amortized cost
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is âcredit impairedâ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
- Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- A breach of contract such as a default or being past due for a period exceeding credit term offered to the customer; and
- It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured as 12 month expected credit losses:
- bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 360 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is 720 days or more past due.
Measurement ofexpected credit iosses
Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the Balance Sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Companyâs non-financial assets, other inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognized in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
g. Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid e.g. under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Post-employment benefits (defined benefit plans)
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (âthe asset ceilingâ).
In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (âpast service costâ or âpast service gainâ) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
h. Revenue Recognition
Rendering of services
Revenue from hiring of equipmentâs (cranes and trailers) associated with the transaction is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period, when the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.
The revenue recognition criteria are applied to two or more transactions together when they are linked in such a way that the commercial effect cannot be understood without reference to the series of transactions as a whole.
Revenue from sale of power is recognised on the accrual basis in accordance with the provisions of Power Purchase Agreement entered with the regulatory commission of the respective state. Claims for delayed payment charges and any other claims, which the Company is entitled to under the Power Purchase Agreement, are accounted for in the year of acceptance.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method based on the underlying interest rates. Dividends
Revenue is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognised as part of revenue from operations in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease except where the rentals are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
i. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
j. Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income
i. Current income tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets - unrecognized or recognized, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
k. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
l. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
m. Leases
i. Assets held under leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned assets.
Assets held under leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (i.e. operating leases) are not recognized in the Companyâs Balance Sheet.
ii. Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are generally recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.
Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
n. Operating segments
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of providing cranes on rental basis. Further all the commercial operations of the Company are based in India. Performance is measured based on the management accounts as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Companyâs Chairman and Managing Director. Accordingly, there is no separate reportable segments.
o. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
- Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
- Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract
- Step 3: Determine the transaction price
- Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
- Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when âcontrolâ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of Ind AS 115 on accounting policies followed in its financial statements. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements in the period of initial application is not reasonably estimable as at present. However as per the management assessment the impact is not expected to be significant.
Transition
The Company plans to apply Ind AS 115 using the cumulative effect method , with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 April 2018) in retained earnings. As a result, the Company will not present relevant individual line items appearing under comparative period presentation.
Ind AS 21 - The effect of changes in Foreign Exchanges rates
The amendment has been incorporated in Ind AS 21 as Appendix B which clarifies on the accounting of transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The appendix is applicable for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018. The appendix explains that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
1 Significant accounting policies
a. Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss, except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognised in OCI:- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
b. Financial Instruments
i. Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investment; or
- FVPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cashflows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investmentâs fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVPL.
Financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and Interest
For the purposes of this assessment, âprincipalâ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. âInterestâ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows
- terms that may adjust the contractual rate, including variable interest rate features
- prepayment and extension features; and
- terms that limit the Companyâs claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
v. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss.
The Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with highly probable forecast transactions arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.
At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Company documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Company also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
Cash flow hedges
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in OCI and accumulated in the other equity under âeffective portion of cash flow hedgesâ. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognised in OCI is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When the hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non financial item such as inventory, the amount accumulated in other equity is included directly in the initial cost of the non financial item when it is recognised. For all other hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in other equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument is sold, expires, is terminated or is exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in other equity remains there until, for a hedge of a transaction resulting in recognition of a non financial item, it is included in the non financial itemâs cost on its initial recognition or, for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods as the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in other equity are immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
c. Property, plant and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
ii. Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1 April 2015, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment (see Note 26).
Hi. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
iv. Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and is generally recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipments is provided over the useful life of assets as assessed by the management, as follows-
The useful lives assessed by the management is in line with the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013.
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).
v. Reclassification to investment property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.
d. Investment property
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Upon initial recognition, an investment property is measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The management believes a period of 30 years represents the best estimate of the period over which investment properties are expected to be used. Accordingly, the depreciation on the same is provided over the period of 30 years. This is in line with the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss.
Fair value of the investment property is disclosed in the notes. Since the investment property has been acquired during the year from a third party in an armâs length transaction, the fair value of the same has been assumed to approximate the acquisition cost.
e. Inventories
Inventories comprise of stores and spare parts and are valued at cost on first in first out (FIFO) basis, net of cenvat credit.
f. Impairment
i. Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on:- financial assets measured at amortised cost
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. A financial asset is âcredit impairedâ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- a breach of contract such as a default or being past due for a period exceeding credit term offered to the customer; and
- it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;or The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, except for the following, which are measured as 12 month expected credit losses:
- bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
In all cases, the maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 360 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is 720 days or more past due.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Companyâs non-financial assets, other inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, 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 CGU (or the asset).
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
g. Employee benefits
i. Short term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g. under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
ii. Post-employment benefits (defined benefit plans)
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (âthe asset ceilingâ).
In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (âpast service costâ or âpast service gainâ) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
iii. Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
h. Revenue Recognition
Rendering of services
Revenue from hiring of equipments (cranes and trailers) associated with the transaction is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period, when the outcome of the transaction can be reliably estimated.
The revenue recognition criteria are applied to two or more transactions together when they are linked in such a way that the commercial effect cannot be understood without reference to the series of transactions as a whole.
Revenue from sale of power is recognised on the accrual basis in accordance with the provisions of Power Purchase Agreement entered with the regulatory commission of the respective state. Claims for delayed payment charges and any other claims, which the Company is entitled to under the Power Purchase Agreement, are accounted for in the year of acceptance.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the time proportion method based on the underlying interest rates.
Dividends
Revenue is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental income
Rental income from investment property is recognised as part of revenue from operations in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease except where the rentals are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.
g. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
h. Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
i. Current income tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised/reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority.
i. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
j. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
k. Leases
i. Assets held under leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned assets.
Assets held under leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (i.e. operating leases) are not recognised in the Companyâs Balance Sheet.
ii. Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.
Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
I. Operating segments
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of providing cranes on rental basis. Further all the commercial operations of the Company are based in India. Performance is measured based on the management accounts as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Companyâs Chairman and Managing Director. Accordingly, there is no separate reportable segments.
p. Recent accounting pronouncements
Standards issued but not yet effective
In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, âStatement of cash flowsâ and Ind AS 102, âShare-based payment.â These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, âStatement of cash flowsâ and IFRS 2, âShare-based payment,â respectively. The amendments are applicable to the company from April 1,2017.
Amendment to Ind AS 7:
The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.
The amendment affects disclosure only and has no impact on the companyâs financial position or performance.
Amendment to Ind AS 102:
The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes. Since the Company does not have any cash-settled awards, the amendment does not have any impact on the financial position, performance or disclosure requirements for the Company.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees rounded off to nearest Lakh.
2.2 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and reported amount of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
