Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will berequired to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisionsare not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of theexpenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to theliability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised asinterest expense.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise frompast events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence ofone or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or whereany present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources orwhere a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Anentity shall not recognize contingent asset unless the recovery is virtually certain.
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ constructionof qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of timeto get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such timethe assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs arerecognised as an expense in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which theyare incurred.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economicbenefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstandingand at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discountsestimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to thatasset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Dividends are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right toreceive payment is established.
Short term employee benefits are recognised as expenditure at the undiscountedvalue in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service isrendered.
The Company’s contribution to Provident Fund and Employees StateInsurance Scheme is determined based on a fixed percentage of the eligibleemployees’ salary and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrualbasis. The Company has categorised its Provident Fund, labour welfare fundand the Employees State Insurance Scheme as a defined contribution plansince it has no further obligations beyond these contributions.
The Company’s liability towards gratuity, being a defined benefit plan areaccounted for on the basis of an independent ‘actuarial valuation based onProjected Unit Credit Method.
Service cost and the net interest cost is included in employee benefit expensein the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses compriseexperience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptionsand are recognised immediately in ‘other comprehensive income’ as incomeor expense.
iii) Compensated absences
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed orencashed within 12 months from the end of the year are treated as shortterm employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured atthe expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additionalamount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as atthe year end. The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using theProjected Unit Credit method)
Income tax expense comprises current tax, deferred tax charge or credit. The deferredtax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liability and assets arerecognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted on theBalance Sheet date.
Deferred Tax assets arising from unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward lossesare recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such amounts. Otherdeferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty ofrealization in future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date toreassess their reliability.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits with any qualifyingfinancial institution repayable on demand or maturing within three months from the dateof acquisition and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calcualted by dividing the net profit or loss for the yearattributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted averagenumber of equity and dilutive equity equivatent shares outstanding during the year.
When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number ofjudgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement ofassets, liabilities, income and expenses. Uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each assetor cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rateto discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operatingresults and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of theassets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews theestimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determinethe amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful livesand residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similarassets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation forfuture periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivablesand determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factorsconsidered include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing ofanticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate therisk of non-payment.
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable thatthere will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events andthe amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition andquantification of the liability require the application of judgement to existing facts andcircumstances, which can be subject to change. Since the cash outflows can take placemany years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewedregularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlyingassumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipationof future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact theDBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financialinstruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financialassets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with howmarket participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptionson observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that casemanagement uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary fromthe actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reportingdate.
In preparing financial statements, management has made an assessment of Company’sability to continue as a going concern. Financial statements are prepared on a goingconcern basis. The Management is aware, in making its assessment, of materialuncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company evaluates the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on periodicbasis using the best and most relevant data available.
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise borrowings, trade and otherpayables. The main purpose of the significant portion of these financial liabilities is tofinance the dues towards arrears of electricity charges, demurrage charges and otherroutine expenditure of the Company. The Company’s principal financial assets includesecurity deposits, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
The Company is exposed to market risk and liquidity risk. Company’s seniormanagement oversees the management of these risks. It is Company’s policy thatno trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Boardof Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, which aresummarised below.
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair value orin future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financialinstrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changein the interest rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific marketmovements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financialinstrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Companydoes not have significant exposure to the risk of changes in market interest ratesas Company’s long-term debt obligations is at fixed interest rates.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle ormeet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidityrisk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities - borrowings, tradepayables and other financial liabilities.
Company’s treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well assettlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risksare overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s netliquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of Company’s financial liabilitiesbased on contractual undiscounted payments.
Credit risk arises from cash and bank balances, current and non-current financialassets, trade receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost.
To manage credit risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliabilityof other counterparties, taking into account the financial condition and currenteconomic trends. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
Bank balances are held with only high rated banks. However, the balances heldwith banks are not material.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
#Borrowings for the above purpose includes non-current borrowings, currentborrowings, current maturities of non current borrowings and Interest accrued butnot due on borrowings.
The amount considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share constitutesthe net profit after tax and includes post tax effect of any exceptional items. The numberof shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average numberof shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares used in computing dilutedearnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered forderiving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of shareswhich could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential shares.
24 The figures of the previous year have been reworked, regrouped, rearranged andreclassified, wherever necessary to conform to the current year presentation.
