Accounting Policies of Sankhya Infotech Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2018

Note No 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of preparation of financial statements

The Company has adopted accounting policies that comply with Indian Accounting standards (IND AS or Ind AS) notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification dated 16 February 2015 under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

First-time Adoption of Ind AS

The opening financial statements have been prepared in accordance with "Indian Accounting Standard 101 (First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards). The opening financial statements comprise Balance Sheet, Statement of Change in equity and its related notes.

The adopted accounting policies comply with each IND AS effective at the end of its first IND AS reporting period i.e. 31st March 2017, except as specified in paragraphs 13-19 and Appendices B-D of IND AS 101. In the opening financial statements:

(i) All assets and liabilities have been recognized as required by Ind AS.

(ii) All assets and liabilities have been derecognized which are not permitted by Ind AS.

(iii) All assets, liabilities or components of equity have been reclassified in accordance with Ind AS.

(iv) All assets and liabilities have been measured in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies used by the Company in its opening financial statement may differ from those previously used in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or the previous GAAP. The resulting adjustments, which have arisen for events and transactions before the date of transition to Ind AS, have been directly recognized in retained earnings at the date of transition to Ind-AS i.e. April 1, 2016 (or, if appropriate, another category of equity) at the date of transition to Ind ASs.

The Company estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind ASs are consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

The Company has explained how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind ASs has affected its reported Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss. Accordingly, the Company''s first Ind AS financial statements includes:

(a) Reconciliation of its equity reported in accordance with previous GAAP to its equity in accordance with Ind ASs for both of the following dates:

i) The date of transition to Ind ASs; and

ii) The end of the latest period presented in the Company''s most recent annual financial statements in accordance with previous GAAP.

(b) Reconciliation of its total comprehensive income in accordance with Ind ASs for the latest period in the Company''s most recent annual financial statements. The starting point for that reconciliation is the profit or loss under previous GAAP.

The Company''s first Ind AS financial statements includes three Balance Sheets, two Statements of Profit & Loss, two Statements of Cash Flows and Two Statements of Changes in Equity and related notes, including comparative information for all statements presented.

The Company''s first financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Ind AS prescribed. The preparation of the Company''s first financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Company to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. It also requires the use of accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are assessed on an ongoing basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and presented under the historical cost convention on accrual basis of accounting.

However, in preparing these Ind AS financial statements, the company has availed certain exemptions and exceptions in accordance with Ind AS 101. Any resulting differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities according to Ind AS 101 as of April 1, 2016 compared with those presented in the Indian GAAP Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2016, were recognized in equity under retained earnings within the Ind AS Balance Sheet.

An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the company''s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

A) Exemption and exceptions availed

In the Ind AS Opening Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2016, the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities from the Indian GAAP as at 31 March 2016 are generally recognized and measured according to Ind AS in effect as on March 31, 2018. For certain individual cases, however, Ind AS 101 provides for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to the general principles of retrospective application of Ind AS. The Company has used the following exemptions and exceptions in preparing its Ind AS Opening Balance Sheet:

A.1 Ind AS optional exemptions

A.1.1 Property, plant and equipment & Intangible assets

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets. Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.

A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions

A.2.1 Estimates

The Company''s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.

A2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires the company to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as at the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted on amortised cost basis on fact and circumstances existing as at the date of transition, if retrospective application is impracticable.

Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as at the date of transition. Measurement of financial assets has been done retrospectively except where the same is impracticable.

A2.3 Dereognition of financial assets and liabilities

As per Ind AS 101 an entity should apply de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 prospectively for transaction occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS.

B) Transition to Ind AS -Reconciliation

The following reconciliations provide a quantification of the effect of significant differences arising from the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS in accordance with Ind AS 101;

* The previous GAAP figures have been reclassified to conform to Ind AS presentation requirements for the purposes of this note.

* The company had not recognised MAT credit in the Books by omission, the same is considered and adjusted with retained earnings subsequently.

Notes to first-time adoption:

a) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an agreed transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

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

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

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

Level 3— Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

b) Financial Instrument

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial asset is any assets that is Cash;

An equity instrument of another entity;

A contractual right:

(i) To receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or

(ii) To exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity; or A contract that will or may be settled in the entity''s own equity instruments and is:

(i) A non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity''s own equity instruments; or

(ii) A derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity''s own equity instruments.

Financial assets include current and non-current investments, loan to employees and body corporate, security deposits, trade receivables and other eligible current and non-current assets

Financial Liability is any liabilities that is

A contractual obligation :

(i) To deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or

(ii) To exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity; or

A contract that will or may be settled in the entity''s own equity instruments and is:

(i) A non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity''s own equity instruments; or

(ii) A derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity''s own equity instruments. For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity''s own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro-rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments.

Financial liabilities include Loans, trade payable and eligible current and non-current liabilities.

Transitional provisions in opening balance sheet as per Ind AS 101

The Company designates a previously recognized financial asset/financial liability as a financial asset/ financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind ASs.

The Company has assessed whether a financial asset meets the conditions w.r.t. classification criteria on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind ASs, practically feasible.

Classification

The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of both:

(i) The entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and

(ii) The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

(i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

(ii) 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.

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

(i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting ontractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

(ii) 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.

A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or fair value through profit or loss.

Recognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when and only when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Initial Measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss). Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) as the case may be.

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets which are classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.

c) Employee benefits :

Both under Indian GAAP and Ind-AS, the company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to the statement of profit or loss. However, Under Ind-AS, remeasurements [comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability] are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

As a result, profit for the year ended March 31, 2018 decreased by Rs. 2.10 (net of tax) with corresponding increase in Other comprehensive income during the year.

For the year ended March 31, 2017, profits increased by Rs. 6.10 (net of tax) with corresponding decrease in Other comprehensive income during the year.

d) Trade receivables :

As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts. As the company does not have trade receivables with aging above 6 months, the ECL has not been provided for in the books of accounts.

e) Deferred taxes

The above changes increased (decreased) the deferred tax asset as follows based on a tax rate of 33.03 per cent:

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind-AS 12 "Income Taxes" requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind-AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.

f) Retained earnings :

Retained earnings as at April 1, 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

g) Other comprehensive income

Under Indian GAAP, the Company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Items that have been reclassified from statement of profit and loss to other comprehensive income includes remeasurement of defined benefit plans (net of tax). Hence, Indian GAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

h) Statement of cash flows

The transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS has not had a material impact on the statement of cash flows.

2. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind ASs requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

3. Revenue recognition

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

Revenue from Services:

- Time and material contracts- Revenues are recognized on the basis of time spent duly approved by the respective customers.

- Fixed price contracts - Revenues are recognized on the basis of approval received from the respective customers in accordance with the "Percentage of Completion" method.

- Internal timesheets or timesheets submitted by vendors for time and material contracts and for fixed price contracts based upon assessment of work done.

Other Income - In other income such as income from interest is recognized using the time proportion method, based on rates implicit in the transaction.

4. Expenditure

All software development and services purchased are charged to cost of revenue in at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise the year of acquisition. Provisions are made for all known losses and liabilities. Where ever applicable leave encashment liability is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation.

5. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Direct costs are capitalized until fixed assets are ready for use. "Cost means" cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment are capitalized as per IND AS 16 as notified by the Chartered Accountants of India. Capital work in progress comprises of the expenditure incurred in the process of developing the intangible assets for the time being and the assets are not yet ready for their intended use as at the date of Balance sheet.

Depreciation is required to be provided on the basis of the useful lives of the assets as estimated by management in the manner prescribed under Section 123 read with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the company has adopted the Depreciation Policy for Tangible Assets in line with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The Company has availed the exemption provided in IND AS 101- "First Time Adoption of IND AS" and has stated the PPE at existing cost as deemed cost.

6. Intangible Fixed Assets and amortization

Intangible assets other than goodwill are valued at cost less amortization. These generally comprise of costs incurred to acquire computer software licenses and implement the software for internal use (including software coding, installation, testing and certain data conversion) as well as costs paid to acquire studies for obtaining approvals from registration authorities of products having proven technical feasibility. Research costs are charged to earnings as they arise. Costs incurred for applying research results or other knowledge to develop new products, are capitalized to the extent that these products or registrations are expected to generate future financial benefits. Other development costs are expensed as and when they arise. Intangible assets are reported at acquisition value with deductions for accumulated amortization and any Impairment losses. Amortization is provided on a written down value basis over the asset''s anticipated useful life.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Amortisation is recognized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

The useful life is determined based on the period of the underlying contract and the period of time over which the intangible asset is expected to be used and generally does not exceed 10 years. An impairment test of intangible assets is conducted annually or more often if there is an indication of a decrease in value. The impairment loss, if any, is reported in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

7. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication based on internal/ external factors that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

8. Retirement and other employee benefits

i) Retirement benefit costs

Payments to retirement benefit plans such as provident fund are recognized as an expense.

For retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period.

Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows:

- Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

- Net interest expense or income; and

- Re-measurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item ''Employee Benefits Expense''. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

ii) Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service. These benefits include bonus/incentives and compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Short term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid over the period of services rendered by the employees to the Company.

The Company has both defined-contribution and defined-benefit plans, of which some have assets in special funds or securities. The plans are financed by the Company and in the case of some defined contribution plans by the Company along with its employees. The contributions as specified under the law are paid to the Provident Fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company or to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company is generally liable for annual contribution and any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return. Such contributions and shortfall, if any, are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an expense in the year incurred.

Expenses for gratuity and supplemental payment plans are calculated as at the balance sheet date by independent actuaries in a manner that distributes expenses over the employee''s working life. These commitments are valued at the present value of the expected future payments, with consideration for calculated future salary increases, using a discount rate corresponding to the interest rate estimated by the actuary having regard to the interest rate on government bonds with a remaining term that is almost equivalent to the average balance working period of employees

The contributions to Gratuity are made to fund administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensate absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accrued compensated absence and utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment for the unutilized accrued compensated absence. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Long term compensated absences is accrued based on actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date carried out by an independent actuary.

9. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing adjusted net profit after tax by the aggregate of weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares during the year.

Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease earning per share from continuing operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

10. Income Taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

i) Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The current tax is calculated using applicable tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted upto the end of the reporting period.

Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company operates.

ii) Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, 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 arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

In the case of unused tax losses probability is evaluated considering factors like existence of sufficient taxable temporary differences, convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets and, the Company recognizes a previously unrecognized Deferred Tax Asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the Deferred Tax Asset to be recovered.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognises MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e. the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognises MAT credit as an asset in the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss as disclosed as ''MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the ''MAT Credit Entitlement'' asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable Company and the same taxation authority.

iii) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

11. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognized and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

12. Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

13. Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current

14. Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the Company does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

15. Trade payables

Trade payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period or not paid/payable within operating cycle. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

16. Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

17. Compound financial instruments

The component parts of compound financial instruments (convertible instrument) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company''s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recognized as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument''s maturity date.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to other component of equity. When the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to retained earnings. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortized over the lives of the convertible instrument using the effective interest method.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between with a lender of debt instruments substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

18. Unbilled Revenue

The work in progress is the unbilled amount for the contracts that are in execution stage and the client deliverables are either in testing phase or certification/ acceptance stage, Therefore revenue is not recognized. The same is accounted for at Cost.

19. Investments

Long Term Investments in wholly owned subsidiary are at cost less impairment. Current Investment are valued at the lower of cost and fair value.

20. Research and development

Capital Expenditure incurred on research and development is depreciated over the estimated life of related assets and the revenue expenditure is expensed as incurred.

21. Foreign currency transactions Initial Recognition

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company''s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period-

(i) Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

(ii) Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

(iii) Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of transaction.

Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and nonmonetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.

Exchange Differences

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates difference from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial expenses in the year in which they arise.

Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation purposes

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the year.

Translation of foreign branch

The financial statements of an integral foreign operation at France are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been those of the company itself.

22. Earnings per share

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

23. Cash and cash equivalents (for the purpose of Cash Flow Statement)

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flows are reported taking the indirect method, wherein net profit before tax is adjusted for the transactions of noncash nature and others or other accruals of past or future receipts and / or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.

24. Segment Reporting

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment Revenue, Segment Expenses, Segment Assets and Segment Liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis, have been included under "Unallocated Revenue / Expenses / Assets / Liabilities".

25. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and all are considered as current subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

26. Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.

When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.

For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset and that transactions are within the scope of Ind AS 18, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

De-recognition of financial assets

The Company de-recognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for proceeds received.

On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset''s carrying and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had recognizted in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss, such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognized in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. On de-recognition of a financial asset, other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognized in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
