Accounting Policies of Speciality Restaurants Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2018

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Ind ASs notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

Upto the year ended 31 March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the Company''s first Ind AS financial statements. The date of transition to Ind AS is 1 April, 2016. Refer Note 3 for the details of firsttime adoption exemptions availed by the Company.

The Company has not early applied the following IND AS that has been issued but is not yet effective:

IND AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018.

IND AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. IND AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including IND AS 18 Revenue, IND AS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.

Under IND AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ''control'' of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the impact of the above standard on the financial statements.

b) Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given at the date of the transaction, in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Assets acquired under finance leases are accounted for at the inception of the lease in accordance with Ind AS 17 on Leases at the lower of the fair value of the asset and present value of minimum lease payments.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Leasehold land is amortised over the duration of the lease.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lower of the lease period and the management''s estimate of the useful life of the asset.

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation has been provided on Written Down Value (WDV) Method. The estimated useful life which is in line with Schedule II to the Act is set out herein below.

The Company has assessed the estimated useful life of furniture and fixtures as 10 years based on past experience and technical evaluation.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as of 1 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

d) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at their cost of acquisition, less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. An intangible asset is recognised, where it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and where its cost can be reliably measured. The amortisable amount of intangible assets is allocated over the best estimate of its useful life on a straight-line basis.

The Company capitalises software costs where it is reasonably estimated that the software has an enduring useful life. Software is amortised over the management''s estimate of its useful life of five years.

Patents and Trademarks are amortised uniformly over a period of five years.

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

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as of 1 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

e) Capital work-in-progress:

Projects under which property, plant and equipment are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising direct cost and related incidental expenses.

f) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets:

An asset is considered as impaired in accordance with Ind AS 36 on Impairment of Assets when at the balance sheet date there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the asset''s net selling price and value in use). The carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount and the reduction is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

g) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is earned and no significant uncertainty exists as to its realisation or collection.

Revenue from restaurant and sweet shop sales (food and beverages) is recognised upon rendering of service. Sales are net of discounts. Indirect tax is reduced from sales.

The Company also operates through franchise arrangements with third parties in terms of which the third parties are permitted to use the Company''s established trademarks :

- Initial Access Premium Fee charged to franchisees, in consideration of being considered as competent to open a restaurant under a Company owned trademark, is recognised on formalisation of franchisee agreement. The Initial Access Premium Fee is non - refundable, regardless of whether the restaurant outlet under the franchisee agreement commences operations or not.

- Royalty and Management Fee charged to franchisees for use of the trademarks is calculated as a percentage of monthly sales of the restaurant and accrued for in line with sales.

Revenue from displays and sponsorships are recognised based on the period for which the products or the sponsor''s advertisements are promoted/displayed.

h) Other income:

Interest income is accounted on accrual basis. Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive it is established.

i) Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of materials is determined by the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Cost of inventories comprises of all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

j) Employee Benefits

Compensation to employees for services rendered is measured and accounted for in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard 19 on Employee Benefits.

Employee Benefits such as salaries, allowances, non-monetary benefits and employee benefits under defined contribution plans such as provident and other funds, which fall due for payment within a period of twelve months after rendering service, are charged as expense to profit or loss in the period in which the service is rendered.

Employee Benefits under defined benefit plans such as gratuity which fall due for payment after completion of employment are measured by the projected unit credit method, on the basis of actuarial valuations carried out by third party actuaries at each balance sheet date. The Company''s obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of obligations as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.

Actuarial Gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest) are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised 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.

k) Foreign currency transactions and translations

The functional currency of the Company is the Indian Rupee. The treatment of foreign currency transactions and translations are as under:

Initial recognition

Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction or using rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.

Measurement at the balance sheet date

Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at the year-end rates

Treatment of exchange differences

Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of profit and loss.

l) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

m) Taxation

Income-tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with income tax laws) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effect of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the year).

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 Comprehensive Income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using applicable tax rates that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the end of the reporting period and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other tax laws, as applicable.

Deferred tax

The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however when there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

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

Current and Deferred Tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity respectively.

n) Earnings Per Share

The Company reports basic and diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) in accordance with IND AS 33 on Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, except where the results are anti-dilutive.

o) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases

Finance lease

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Operating lease

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease, Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor''s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Interest free lease deposits are remeasured at amortised cost by the effective interest rate method. The difference between the transaction value of the deposit and amortised cost is regarded as prepaid rent and recognised as expense uniformly over the lease period. Interest income measured by the effective interest rate method is accrued.

p) Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement is prepared by the indirect method set out in IND AS 7 on Cash Flow Statements and presents the cash flows by operating, investing and financing activities of the Company.

Cash and Cash equivalents presented in the Cash Flow Statement consist of cash on hand and unencumbered bank balances.

q) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised 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 recognised 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).

A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

r) Employee share based payments

Equity settled share based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of Equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company''s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the Equity settled employee benefits reserve.

s) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. 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 (FVTPL)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition):

- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

- the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of 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 an 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 recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) criteria are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL 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 remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ''Other income'' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company''s right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

Investment in Joint venture

Investment in joint venture is carried at cost in the separate financial statements.

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, trade receivables and other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

For trade receivables and any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that 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.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting period.

For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

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

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes 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. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company''s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

3 First-time adoption:

Overall principle

The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as at 1 April, 2016 (the transition date) as per Ind AS by recognising all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognising items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS required under Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in measurement of recognised assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subject to the exemption availed by the Company as per IND AS 101 detailed below.

3.1 Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment, and intangible

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its plant and equipment and intangible assets recognised as of 1 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

4 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In application of the Company''s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

The following is the critical judgement, apart from those involving estimations that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company''s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

4.1.1 Classification of Mainland China Restaurant (LLC) as a joint venture

Mainland China Restaurant (LLC) is a limited liability company whose legal form confers separation between the parties to the joint arrangement and the Company itself. Furthermore, there is no contractual arrangement or any other facts and circumstances that indicate that the parties to the joint arrangement have right to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement. Accordingly, Mainland China Restaurant (LLC) is classified as a joint venture of the Company.

4.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

4.2.1 Impairment of equity investment and receivables from joint venture company

During the year, the directors considered the recoverability of equity investments and receivables from joint venture company "Mainland China Restaurant LLC" in Qatar. The joint venture company has stopped commercial operations on account of continuing losses and accordingly the Company has recognised an impairment loss of '' 101.41 million for diminution in value of company''s investment in equity shares and receivables from the joint venture company. The impairment loss has been disclosed as an "Exceptional item" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

4.2.2 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. During financial years ended 31 March 2018, 2017 and 2016, there were no changes in useful lives of property plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The company at the end of each reporting period, based on external and internal sources of information, assesses indicators and mitigating factors of whether a restaurant (cash generating unit) may have suffered an impairment loss. If it is determined that an impairment loss has been suffered, it is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

4.2.3 Impairment of trade receivables

The Company estimates the probability of collection of accounts receivable by analysing historical payment patterns, customer status, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.

4.2.4 Deferred tax asset

The Company reviews the carrying value of Deferred tax asset (DTA) at the end of each reporting period. Since the expected revenues and profits were not achieved in the current year, the Management on a prudent basis concluded that sufficient taxable profits are not available for the DTA to be recovered in the near future and accordingly the same has been fully provided in the financial statements.

4.2.5 Contingencies

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigations and other claims against the company. There are certain obligations which management have concluded based on all available facts and circumstances are not probable of payment and such obligations are treated as contingent liabilities and disclosed in the notes but are not provided for in the financial statements.
