The financial statements have been brpared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the brparation of financial statements are consistent with those of brvious year. b) Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements Assets & liabilities have been classified as current & non - current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of activity carried out by the company and the period between the procurement and realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 5 years for the purpose of Current - Non Current classification of assets & liabilities. c) Use of Estimates: The brparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the brparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. d) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated debrciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation, other br operation expenses and interest in case where the asset takes a substantial period of time to be ready for its intended use. The carrying amount of cash generating units / assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated as the net selling price or value in use, whichever is higher. Impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Debrciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on pro-rata basis, on the straight-line method as per the useful life brscribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except for certain assets as indicated below: Lease hold improvements are amortised over the period of lease/estimated period of lease. Plant & Machinery includes Plant and Machinery used in civil construction - Others and amortised over a period of 5 years. Vehicles used by employees are debrciated over the period of 48 months considering this period as the useful life of the vehicle for the Company. Sales office and the sample flat/ show unit cost at site is amortised over 5 years or the duration of the project (as estimated by management) whichever is lower. e) Intangible Assets: All Intangible Assets are initially measured at cost and amortised so as to reflect the pattern in which the assets' economic benefits are consumed. Software expenses are treated as an intangible asset and amortised over the useful life of the asset. The maximum period for such amortization is 36 months f) Investments: Investments are classified into Non-Current and Current Investments. Non-current investments are carried at cost less diminution other than temporary. Provision for diminution, if any, in the value of each long-term investment is made to recognize a decline, other than of a temporary nature. Current Investments are carried individually at lower of cost and fair value and the resultant decline, if any, is charged to revenue. g) Inventories: Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of construction material is determined on the basis of weighted average method. Construction Work-in-Progress includes cost of land, brmium for development rights, construction costs and allocated interest & manpower costs and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. h) Revenue Recognition: Income from Projects Income from real estate sales is recognised on the transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyers and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration. However if, at the time of transfer substantial acts are yet to be performed under the contract, revenue is recognised on proportionate basis as the acts are performed, i.e. on the percentage of completion basis. Up to 31st March, 2012, revenue from real estate projects is recognized only when actual project cost incurred is atleast 25% of the total estimated project costs including land and when atleast 10% of the sales consideration is received. In accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Real Estate Transactions (Revised 2012) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, in case of projects commencing on or after 1st April 2012 or in case of projects which have already commenced but where revenue is being recognised for the first time on or after 1st April 2012, revenues will be recognized from these real estate projects only when i. the actual construction and development cost incurred is at least 25% of the total construction and development cost (without considering land cost) and ii. when at least 10% of the sales consideration is realised and iii. where 25% of the total saleable area of the project is secured by contracts of agreement with buyers. Income from long term contracting assignments is also recognised on the percentage of completion basis. As the long term contracts necessarily extend beyond one year, revision in costs and revenues estimated during the course of the contract are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Any expected loss on a project is recognised in the year in which costs incurred together with the balance costs to completion are likely to be in excess of the estimated revenues from project. Unbilled costs are carried as construction work-in-progress. Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Income from sale of land and other rights Revenue from sale of land and other rights are considered upon transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership of such real estate/property as per the terms of the contract entered into with the buyers, which generally with the firmity of the sale contracts/agreements. Income from Project Management Project Management Fees receivable on fixed period contracts is accounted over the tenure of the contract/agreement. Where the fee is linked to the input costs, revenue is recognised as a proportion of the work completed based on progress claims submitted. Where the management fee is linked to the revenue generation from the project, revenue is recognised on the percentage of completion basis. Income from operation of commercial complexes is recognised over the tenure of the lease/service agreement. Interest and dividend income Interest income is accounted on an accrual basis at contracted rates except where there is uncertainty of ultimate collection. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive the same is established. i) Employee benefits: (i) Defined contribution Plans Company's contributions paid/payable during the year to Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. (ii) Defined Benefit Plan Company's liabilities towards gratuity and leave encashment are determined on actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method, which consider each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. Past services are recognised on straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. Actuarial gain and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account as income or expense. Obligation is measured at the brsent value of estimated future cash flow using a discount rate that is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on government bonds where the currency and terms of the government bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated terms of the defined benefit obligation. (iii) In view of the past trends of leave availed, the amount of employee benefit in the form of compensated absences, being in the nature of short term benefit, is accounted for on accrual basis at an undiscounted value. j) Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to long-term project management and development activities are capitalised as part of project cost. Other borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of project cost when the activities that are necessary to brpare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Borrowing costs are suspended from capitalisation on the project when development work on the project is interrupted for extended periods. k) Provision for taxation: Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for future tax consequences attributable to the timing differences between taxable income and accounting income that are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods and are measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred Tax assets are not recognised unless, in the management judgment, there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized except in case of deferred tax asset arising from unabsorbed debrciation, brought forward tax losses and items relating to capital losses wherein deferred tax asset is only recognized when there is virtual certainty. The carrying amount of deferred tax is reviewed at each balance sheet date. l) Segment Information: The Company operates in two main segments; namely ''Projects, Project Management and Development activities'' and ''Operating of commercial complexes''. The segments have been identified and reported taking into account the differing risks and returns and the internal business reporting systems. Revenues and expenses have been identified to the segments based on their relationship to the business activity of the segment. Income/expenses relating to the enterprise as a whole and not allocable on a reasonable basis to business segments are reflected as unallocated corporate income/expenses. m) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities Provisions are recognized in the financial statements in respect of a brsent obligation arising from a past event, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence is confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. n) Employee stock compensation costs Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by ICAI. The company measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis. The figures for brvious year have been regrouped wherever necessary to conform to current year's classification. As per our Report attached hereto For and on behalf of B. K. Khare & Co.
