1 The corporate overview
Wonderla Holidays Limited (âthe Companyâ) was incorporated in the year 2002 with the Registered Office at Bangalore and is engaged in the business of amusement parks and resorts. In the year 2005, the Company started its first amusement park at Bangalore. In the year 2008, pursuant to a scheme of amalgamation, Veega Holidays and Parks Private Limited, an entity under common control, which was running an amusement park at Kochi since April 2000, merged with the Company. The Park at Hyderabad was commissioned in 2016. On 9 May 2014, the Company listed its shares on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. Overall, the Company operates three Amusement Parks along with a Resort at Bangalore Park (âthe Parksâ). The Company had signed an agreement with the Government of Odisha for leasing land of 50.63 acres towards development of amusement park project in Kumbarbasta Village, Khorda District, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, on 29 June 2022.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 are approved by the Companyâs Board of Directors on 24 May 2023.
2 Significant accounting policies
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as âInd ASâ) as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as amended from time to time.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, except for certain financial instruments and gratuity benefits which are measured at fair values, as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 f Act'') (to the extent notified). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
These financial statements have been prepared on going concern assumption.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
A number of the Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Further information about the assumptions made
in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
Note 32 - financial instruments;
Note 16.6 - share based payment arrangement;
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Accordingly, the Company exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period.
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of the Company''s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
The liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit
obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rate and past trends. (Refer note 2.16).
The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events, and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
The Company uses significant judgements 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 nonoccurrence 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 recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.
The Company generates revenue from providing amusement park service, resorts and others. Amusement park revenue includes ticket revenue, sale of merchandise and cooked food. Revenue from resorts include mainly room revenue, cooked food and sale of beverages.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
Revenue from sales of goods or rendering of services is net of Indirect taxes, returns and variable consideration on account of discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract.
The revenue recognition policy followed by the Company is:
⢠Entry charges are recognized at the time when entry tickets are issued to visitors for entry into the park.
⢠Income from rooms, restaurants and other services comprise room rentals, sale of food and beverages and other allied services relating to resort operations. Revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
⢠Sale of traded items are recognized when the control is transferred to the customers. Sales are recorded net of discounts and goods and service tax.
⢠Lease income represents share of revenue from shops and restaurants, which is recognized as per the terms of the agreement with the respective operators.
⢠Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and applicable rate of interest.
⢠Other income is recognized on accrual basis except when there are significant uncertainties.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed under âOther non-current assetsâ.
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net within other income/ expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset as determined
by the management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged. Depreciation is charged with reference to the estimated useful life of fixed assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, which is taken as the minimum estimated useful life of the asset. If the managementâs estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the managementâs estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Individual assets costing less than '' 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase / installation.
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Asset |
Useful life |
Buildings |
3-58 years |
Plant and equipment |
3-15 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
3-10 years |
Vehicles |
6-10 years |
Gardening and landscaping |
5 years |
Electrical equipment |
2-15 years |
Restaurant equipment |
8-15 years |
Office equipment |
3-10 years |
Depreciation is not recorded on capital work-in-progress until construction and installation is complete and the asset is ready for its intended use except for those rides where the carrying value is lower than the fair value, where the Company will write down and charge the difference over the period to the Statement of profit and loss.
Amount paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for intended use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. The capital-work-in progress is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental cost and attributable interest.
Intangible asset is recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the Company, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
Intangible assets acquired by the Company that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
Asset Useful life |
|
Technical know-how |
10 years |
Film rights |
2 years |
Computer software |
3 years |
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are initially
recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order 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.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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.
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
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. The Company 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.
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or CGUâs fair value less costs of disposal or its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed 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.
Raw materials, stock-in-trade, stores and spares and others are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, stock-intrade, stores and spares and others comprises cost of purchases. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost of stock-in-trade is ascertained on weighted average basis.
Cost of raw materials and stores and others are ascertained on weighted average basis.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and bank overdraft that are repayable on demand, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/ loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognised in the statement of profit and loss of the year.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are outstanding, as at the close of the reporting period are translated at the closing exchange rates and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (''the Gratuity Plan'') covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability / (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized as other comprehensive income. The effects of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of profit and loss.
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.
Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee''s salary. The Companyâs contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related services.
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was insubstance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account.
The employees of the Company are eligible to the Stock options awards granted by the Company. The Company accounts for these Stock Options using the fair value method in accordance with the IND AS 102 - Share-based Payments.
Lessor accounting to classify leases as finance or operating lease.
Lease payments associated with short-terms leases and leases in respect of low value assets are charged off as expenses on straight-line basis over lease term or other systematic basis, as applicable.
At commencement date, the value of "right of use" is capitalised at the present value of outstanding lease payments plus any initial direct cost and estimated cost, if any, of dismantling and removing the underlying asset and presented as part of Plant, property and equipment. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset''s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Liability for lease is created for an amount equivalent to the present value of outstanding lease payments and presented as lease liability. The Company discounted lease payments using the applicable incremental borrowing rate for meeting the lease liability. Subsequent measurement, if any, is made using cost model.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability created and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Statement of Profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Lease modifications, if any are accounted as a separate lease if the recognition criteria specified in the standard are met.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in OCI or directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in OCI or directly in equity respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
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 is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off corresponding current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the Company
The Company recognises a deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses or tax credits only to the extent that the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised by the entity.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Based on the âmanagement approachâ as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments viz. amusement parks & resort and others.
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on
the date of declaration by the Company''s Board of Directors. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees and are subject to applicable taxes.
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 Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent.

Mar 31, 2018
1 Significant accounting policies
1.1 Statement of compliance
In accordance with the notification issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (referred to as âInd ASâ) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 with effect from 1 April 2016. In accordance with Ind AS 101 First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, the Company has presented reconciliation of the financial statements under Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (âPrevious GAAPâ) to Ind AS of Shareholdersâ equity as at 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017 and of the comprehensive net income for the year ended 31 March 2017 (refer Note No.41).
1.2 Basis of preparation
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments and gratuity benefits which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (âActâ) (to the extent notified). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies ( Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
These financial statements are the companyâs first Ind AS financial statements. The company has adopted all the Ind AS standards and the adoption was carried out in accordance with Ind AS 101 First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. The transition was carried out from Indian Accounting Principles generally accepted in India as prescribed under Sec 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (IGAAP), which was the previous GAAP.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
The financial statements are approved by the Companyâs Board of Directors on 26 May 2018.
1.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Critical accounting estimates
1.4.1 Income taxes
The Companyâs tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions.
1.4.2 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an assetâs expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of companyâs assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
1.4.3 Employee benefits
The liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the postemployment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rate and past trends.
1.5 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts included in revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and indirect taxes.
The revenue recognition policy followed by the Company is:
- Entry charges are recognized at the time when entry tickets are issued to visitors for entry into the park.
- Income from rooms, restaurants and other services comprise of room rentals, sale of food and beverages and other allied services relating to resort operations. Revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
- Sale of traded items are recognized when the title to goods are transferred to the customers. Sales are recorded net of discounts and value added tax.
- Lease income represents share of revenue from shops and restaurants, which is recognized as per the terms of the agreement with the respective operators.
- Dividend is recognized when declared and interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and applicable rate of interest.
- Other income is recognized on accrual basis except when there are significant uncertainties.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment
1.6.1 Initial recognition
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date are disclosed under âOther non-current assetsâ.
1.6.2 Subsequent cost
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
1.6.3 Disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net within other income/ expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
1.6.4 Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset as determined by the management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged. Depreciation is charged with reference to the estimated useful life of fixed assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, which is taken as the minimum estimated useful life of the asset. If the managementâs estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the managementâs estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Individual assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase / installation.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
1.7 Intangible assets
1.7.1 Initial recognition
Intangible asset is recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the company, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the company and cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
Intangible assets acquired by the company that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
1.7.2 Subsequent measurement
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
1.7.3 Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
1.8 Financial instruments
1.8.1 Initial recognition
The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at amortized cost, except investments which are measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not at fair value through profit or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of financial assets are accounted for at trade date.
1.8.2 Subsequent measurement
1.8.2.1 Non-derivative financial instruments
(a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order 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.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets 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. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. Further, in cases where the company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
(d) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
1.8.2.1 Share capital
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
1.8.3 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 Companyâs balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
1.9 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
For all other financial instruments the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
1.10 Impairment of non-financial assets
The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset or cash generating unit (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or CGUâs fair value less costs of disposal or its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed 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.
1.11 Inventories
Raw materials, stock-in-trade, stores and spares and others are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, stock-in-trade, stores and spares and others comprises cost of purchases. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost of stock-in-trade is ascertained using the FIFO method.
Cost of raw materials and stores and others are ascertained on weighted average basis.
1.12 Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
1.13 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.
1.14 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.
1.15 Foreign currency transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognised in the statement of profit and loss of the year.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are outstanding, as at the reporting period are translated at the closing exchange rates and the resultant exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
1.16 Employee benefits
1.16.1 Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (âthe Gratuity Planâ) covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employeeâs salary and the tenure of employment with the Company.
Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan in its balance sheet as an asset or liability. Gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/(asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. The actual return of the portfolio of plan assets, in excess of the yields computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation is recognized other comprehensive income. The effect of any plan amendments are recognized in net profits in the statement of profit and loss.
1.16.2 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.
1.16.3 Provident fund
Eligible employees of the Company receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the eligible employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employeeâs salary. The Companyâs contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related services.
1.16.4 Compensated absences
The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the period in which the absences occur.
1.17 Share-based payments
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account.
The employees of the Company are eligible to the Stock options awards granted by the Company. The Company accounts for these Stock Options using the fair value method in accordance with the IND AS 102.
1.18 Leases
Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. When acquired, such assets are capitalized at fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases.
1.19 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.20 Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income. Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or the substantive enactment date. A deferred income tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilized. The company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Tax benefits of deductions earned on exercise of employee share options in excess of compensation charged to income are credited to share premium.
1.21 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/ loss for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
1.22 Segment reporting
Based on the âmanagement approachâ as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Ch-ief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Companyâs performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments viz. amusement parks, resort and others.

1 significant accounting policies
Company overview
Wonderla Holidays Limited (''the Company'') was incorporated in the year 2002 and is engaged in the business of amusement parks and
resorts. In the year 2005, the Company started its first amusement park at Bangalore. In the year 2008, pursuant to a scheme of
amalgamation, Veega Holidays and Parks Private Limited, an entity under common control, which was running an amusement park at
Kochi since April 2000, merged with the Company. The registered office of the Company is situated in Bangalore. On 9 May 2014,
the Company listed its shares on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange.
i. Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (''GAAP'') under the
historical cost convention on the accrual basis. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as prescribed under section 133 of
the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act'') 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). Accounting policies have been
consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting
standard required a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees in
lakhs and rounded off to nearest decimal of two.
ii. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses
and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Examples of such estimates include
provisions for doubtful debts, future employee obligations under employee retirement benefit plans, income taxes, useful lives of
fixed assets and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
iii. Current-non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
(a) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
(d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12
months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non- current financial assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
(iii) Current-non-current classification (continued) Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
(a) it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
(d) the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of
equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non- current financial liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Based on the nature of services and time between the acquisition of assets for processing and there realization in cash and cash
equivalent, the Company have ascertained less than 12 months as its operating cycle and hence 12 months being considered for the
purpose of current / non- current classification of assets and liabilities.
iv. Inventories
Inventories comprising of traded goods (readymade garments, packed foods and soft drinks), stores and spares, fuel (for
maintenance) and construction materials in hand, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories
comprises of all costs of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition.
Cost of traded goods is ascertained using the FIFO method.
Cost of food and beverages and stores and operating supplies are ascertained on weighted average basis.
v. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a
non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
vi. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can
be measured reliably. The revenue recognition policy followed by the Company is:
- Entry charges are recognized at the time when entry tickets are issued to visitors for entry into the park.
- Sale of traded items are recognized when the title to goods are transferred to the customers. Sales are recorded net of
discounts and value added tax.
- Share of revenue from restaurants is recognized as per the terms of the agreement with the restaurant operator.
- Income from rooms, restaurants and other services comprise of room rentals, sale of food and beverages and other allied
services relating to resort operations. Revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
- Dividend is recognized when declared and interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and applicable rate of interest.
- Other income is recognized on accrual basis except when there are significant uncertainties.
vii. Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated
impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its
intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset
is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.
Capital work in progress
Cost of assets not ready for use as at the balance sheet date are disclosed under capital work in progress.
(Vii) Fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided using the straight- line method over the estimated useful life of each asset as
determined by the management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged. Intangible
assets are amortised over the respective individual estimated useful lives on straight -line basis, commencing from the date the
asset is available to the Company for use. Depreciation is charged with reference to the estimated useful life of fixed assets
prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, which is taken as the minimum estimated useful life of the asset. If the
management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life
on a subsequent review is shorter than envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on
the management''s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. The table below lists down the estimated economic useful
lives for the respective asset category:
The estimated useful life of fixed assets is enumerated below:
1For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the management believes that, the useful lives as given above represent
the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the
useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Individual assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase/ installation. Depreciation on
assets acquired/ disposed off during the year is provided for from/ up to the month of such addition/ deletion.
viii. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interests and other costs incurred by the Company inconnection with borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs
directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the qualifying assets which are incurred during the period less income
earned on temporary investment of these borrowings 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.
ix. Impairment of assets
The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating
unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or
group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance
sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would
have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognized.
x. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended not to be held for more than 12 months are classified as current
investments. All other investments are classified as non-current investments.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost or fair value of each investment individually. Long-term investments are valued
at cost less provision for diminution, other than temporary, to recognize any decline in the value of such investments.
xi. Leases
Assets acquired under finance leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the
lease and the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charge and reduction of
outstanding liability. Finance charges are allocated over the lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the
outstanding liability. Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
leased asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of
profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
xii. Foreign exchange transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded using an average monthly rate that approximates the exchange rate at the date of
the transaction. Exchange differences arising on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and remaining unsettled as at the balance sheet date are
translated using the closing exchange rates on that date and the resultant net exchange difference is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss. 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.
xiii. Employee benefits
Contributions payable to the recognized provident fund, which is a defined contribution scheme, is made monthly at predetermined
rates to the appropriate authorities and charged to the statement of profit and loss on an accrual basis.
Gratuity, a defined benefit scheme, is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance-sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on an actuarial
valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each and period of service as giving rise to an additional
units of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The Company''s gratuity
scheme is administered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
Leave encashment, a defined benefit plan, is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The Company accrues for the expected cost of short-term compensated absences in the period in which the
employees renders services. Compensated absences are allowed to accumulate and carry forward by employees up to maximum of 120
leaves which can be encashed at the time of resignation.
Actuarial gain/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
xiv. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders for the year by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number of equity shares used in computing diluted
earnings per share comprises the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted
average number of equity shares, which would have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive
potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date. The
potentially dilutive equity shares have been adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at a fair
value. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the
earnings per share or increases loss per share are included.
xv. Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the year determined in accordance with the income tax law) and
deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for
the year).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent
there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or
carried forward business loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of
realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets/ liabilities 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 realized. The Company offsets,
the current (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where
it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis
xvi. Provisions, contingent liabilities and onerous contracts
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of an obligating event that probably requires
an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
A disclosure of a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it
is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in
which the change occurs.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower
than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract of meeting the future obligations under the
contract. The provision is measured at lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of
fulfilling the contract.
xvii. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to be cash
and cash equivalents.

in use. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees in
lakhs and rounded off to nearest decimal of two.
ii. Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the GAAP
requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that
affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements.
Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts,
future employee obligations under employee retirement benefit plans,
income taxes, useful lives of fixed assets and intangible assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision
to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and
future periods.
iii. Current-non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
(a) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or
consumption in, the Company's normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting
date; or
(d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial
assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
(a) it is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating
cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date;
or
(d) the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity
instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial
liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Based on the nature of services and time between the acquisition of
assets for processing and there realization in cash and cash
equivalent, the Company have ascertained less than 12 months as its
operating cycle and hence 12 months being considered for the purpose of
current / non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
iv. Inventories
Inventories comprising of traded goods (readymade garments, packed
foods and soft drinks), stores and spares, fuel (for maintenance) and
construction materials in hand, are valued at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises of all costs of
purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost of traded goods is ascertained using the FIFO method.
Cost of food and beverages and stores and operating supplies are
ascertained on weighted average basis.
v. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities of the Company are segregated.
vi. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
measured reliably. The revenue recognition policy followed by the
Company is:
- Entry charges are recognized at the time when entry tickets are
issued to visitors for entry into the park.
- Sale of traded items are recognized when the title to goods are
transferred to the customers. Sales are recorded net of discounts and
value added tax.
- Share of revenue from restaurants is recognized as per the terms of
the agreement with the restaurant operator.
- Income from rooms, restaurants and other services comprise of room
rentals, sale of food and beverages and other allied services relating
to resort operations. Revenue is recognized upon rendering of the
service.
- Dividend is recognized when declared and interest income is
recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and applicable rate of interest.
- Other income is recognized on accrual basis except when there are
significant uncertainties.
vii. Fixed assets and depreciation Tangible assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or
construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated
impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset
comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other
non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any
trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured
initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is
carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment loss.
Capital work in progress
Cost of assets not ready for use as at the balance sheet date are
disclosed under capital work in progress.
Depreciation
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided using the straight- line
method over the estimated useful life of each asset as determined by
the management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the
year is proportionately charged. Intangible assets are amortised over
the respective individual estimated useful lives on straight -line
basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company
for use. Depreciation is charged with reference to the estimated useful
life of fixed assets prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act,
2013, which is taken as the minimum estimated useful life of the asset.
If the management's estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the
time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a
subsequent review is shorter than envisaged in the aforesaid schedule,
depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the management's
estimate of the useful life/ remaining useful life. The table below
lists down the estimated economic useful lives for the respective asset
category:
The estimated useful life of fixed assets is enumerated below:
1For these class of assets, based on internal assessment, the
management believes that, the useful lives as given above represent the
period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the
useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as
prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Individual assets costing less than Rs 5,000 are depreciated in full in
the year of purchase/ installation. Depreciation on assets acquired/
disposed off during the year is provided for from/ up to the month of
such addition/ deletion.
viii. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are interests and other costs incurred by the Company
inconnection with borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition/construction of the qualifying assets
which are incurred during the period less income earned on temporary
investment of these borrowings 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.
ix. Impairment of assets
The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that
an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that
does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its
recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and
is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance
sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a
maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is reversed
only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed
the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment
loss had been recognized.
x. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended not to be held for
more than 12 months are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as non-current investments.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost or fair value of each
investment individually. Long-term investments are valued at cost less
provision for diminution, other than temporary, to recognize any
decline in the value of such investments.
xi. Leases
Assets acquired under finance leases are recognized at the lower of the
fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease and the
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned
between finance charge and reduction of outstanding liability. Finance
charges are allocated over the lease term at a constant periodic rate
of interest on the outstanding liability. Leases where the lessor
effectively retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement
of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
xii. Foreign exchange transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded using an average monthly
rate that approximates the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Exchange differences arising on settlement of foreign
currency transactions are recognized in the statement of profit and
loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and
remaining unsettled as at the balance sheet date are translated using
the closing exchange rates on that date and the resultant net exchange
difference is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
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.
xiii. Employee benefits
Contributions payable to the recognized provident fund, which is a
defined contribution scheme, is made monthly at predetermined rates to
the appropriate authorities and charged to the statement of profit and
loss on an accrual basis.
Gratuity, a defined benefit scheme, is accrued based on an actuarial
valuation at the balance-sheet date, carried out by an independent
actuary. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit
plan is determined based on an actuarial valuation using the Projected
Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each and period of service as
giving rise to an additional units of employee benefit entitlement and
measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The
Company's gratuity scheme is administered by the Life Insurance
Corporation of India.
Leave encashment, of defined benefit plan, is accrued based on an
actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The Company accrues for the expected cost of
short- term compensated absences in the period in which the employees
renders services.
Actuarial gain/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit
and loss and are not deferred.
xiv. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or
loss attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number
of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises
the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per
share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which
would have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the
beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
The potentially dilutive equity shares have been adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at a fair
value. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential
equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings
per share or increases loss per share are included.
xv. Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
year determined in accordance with the income tax law) and deferred tax
charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the year). The
deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where
there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward business loss under
taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a
virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets/
liabilities 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 realized. The Company offsets, the
current (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and
liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it
intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis
xvi. Provisions, contingent liabilities and onerous contracts
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation
as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure of a contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.
However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is
virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the
asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the
change occurs.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected
benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the
contract of meeting the future obligations under the contract. The
provision is measured at lower of the expected cost of terminating the
contract and the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract.
xvii. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks
and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or
less and that are readily convertible to be cash and cash equivalents.

requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that
affect the
application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates

consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
(c) it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting
date; or

materials in hand, is ascertained using the weighted average method.
Cost of food and beverages and stores and operating supplies are

construction less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated
impairment loss, if any. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset
comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other
non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of
bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any
trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price.

carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment loss.
Capital work in progress

Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method, over the estimated
useful life of each asset as determined by the management. The rates of
depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are
considered as the minimum rates. If the management''s estimate of the
useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or
of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than
envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a
higher rate based on the management''s estimate of the useful life/
remaining useful life. The table below lists down the estimated
economic useful lives for the respective asset category:
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Individual assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated in full
in the year of purchase/ installation. Depreciation on assets acquired/
disposed off during the year is provided for from/ upto the month of
such addition/ deletion.
viii. Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/construction
of the qualifying assets which are incurred during the period less
income earned on temporary investment of these borrowings 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.
ix. Impairment
The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that
an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be
impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the
recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that
does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its
recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and
is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance
sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a
maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is reversed
only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed
the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment
loss had been recognized.
x. Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended not to be held for
more than 12 months are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as non-current investments.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost or fair value.
Long-term investments are valued at cost less provision for diminution,
other than temporary, to recognize any decline in the value of such
investments.
xi. Leases
Assets acquired under finance lease are recognized at the lower of the
fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease and the
present value of minimum
lease payments, Lease payments are apportioned between finance charge
and reduction of outstanding liability. Finance charges are allocated
over the lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the
outstanding liability. Leases where the lessor effectively retains
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased
asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are
recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
xii. Foreign exchange transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded using an average monthly
rate that approximates the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Exchange differences arising on settlement of foreign
currency transactions are recognized in the statement of profit and
loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and
remaining unsettled as at the balance sheet date are translated using
the closing exchange rates on that date and the resultant net exchange
difference is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
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.
xiii. Employee benefits
Contributions payable to the recognized provident fund, which is a
defined contribution scheme, is made monthly at predetermined rates to
the appropriate authorities and charged to the statement of profit and
loss on an accrual basis.
Gratuity, a defined benefit scheme, is accrued based on an actuarial
valuation at the balance-sheet date, carried out by an independent
actuary. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit
plan is determined based on an actuarial valuation using the Projected
Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each and period of service as
giving rise to an additional units of employee benefit entitlement and
measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The
Company''s gratuity scheme is administered by the Life Insurance
Corporation of India.
Leave encashment, of defined benefit plan, is accrued based on an
actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an
independent actuary. The Company accrues for the expected cost of
short-term compensated absences in the period in which the employees
renders services.
Actuarial gain/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit
and loss and are not deferred.
xiv. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or
loss attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The number
of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises
the weighted average shares considered for deriving basic earnings per
share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which
would have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity
shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the
beginning of the year, unless they have been issued at a later date.
The potentially dilutive equity shares have been adjusted for the
proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at a fair
value. In computing the dilutive earnings per share, only potential
equity shares that are dilutive and that either reduces the earnings
per share or increases loss per share are included.
xv. Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
year determined in accordance with the income tax law) and deferred tax
charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the year). The
deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable
certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where
there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward business loss under
taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a
virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets/
liabilities 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 realized.
The Company offsets, the current (on a year on year basis) and deferred
tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right
and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net
basis.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 115JAA of the Income-tax
Act, 1961, the Company is allowed to avail credit equal to the excess
of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) over normal income tax for the
assessment year for which MAT is paid. MAT credit so determined can be
carried forward for set-off for ten succeeding assessment years from
the year in which such credit becomes allowable. MAT credit can be
set-off only in the year in which the Company is liable to pay tax as
per the normal provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and such tax is
in excess of MAT for that year. Accordingly, MAT credit entitlement is
recognized only to the extent there is convincing evidence that the
Company will pay normal tax during the specified period.
xvi. Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation
as a result of an obligating event that probably requires an outflow of
resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure of a contingent liability is made when there
is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably
will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.
However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is
virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the
asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the
change occurs.
xvii. Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash in
hand and balance in bank in current accounts. The Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of
purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to
known amount of cash to be cash equivalents.
