B) USE OF ESTIMATES The brparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in brparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise. C) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (e.g. on FIFO / specific identification method) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty. D) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS (FOR PURPOSES OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT) Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. E) CASH FLOW STATEMENT Cash flow are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of 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 based on the available information. F) DEbrCIATION Debrciation on Fixed Assets is provided on Straight Line Method at the rates brscribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, except 1) Wind Mill @ 8.33% 2) Plant & Machinery @ 10.34% and 3) Electricals @ 7.07% based on useful life ascertained for such asset through technical assessment by competent Professional. G) REVENUE RECOGNITION Sales are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers. Sales include excise duty but exclude sales tax and value added tax. Sale of Service and revenue from sale of windmill power are recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred. Dividend Income is recognised when right to receive the income is established. Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis (accrual basis) taking into account the amount outstanding and rate applicable. Export incentives are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and expected amount on realisation. H) FIXED ASSETS i) Fixed assets and intangibles are stated at cost less accumulated debrciation / amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes all costs relating to acquisition and installation of fixed assets including any incidental costs of bringing the assets to their working condition for their intended use. The Company has adopted the provisions of para 46 / 46A of AS 11. The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, and accordingly, exchange differences arising on J) restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency borrowings relating to acquisition of debrciable fixed assets are adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and debrciated over the remaining useful life of such assets. Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use is expected to be irregular are capitalised and debrciated over the useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its purchase / completion is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its brviously assessed standard of performance. ii) Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately. Capital orwk-in-progress iii) Projects under which tangible fixed assets are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest. I) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATIONS K) Initial Recognition : Transactions in Foreign Currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates brvailing on the date of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction or at the forward contract rate for the transaction. Measurement at the Balance Sheet Date : Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at the year-end rates. Non-monetary items of the Company are carried at historical cost. Treatment of exchange differences - when para l) 46 / 46A of AS 11 is adopted : Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Accounting for forward contracts : Premium / discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the balance sheet date. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract is recognised as income or as expense in the period in which such cancellation or renewal is made. GOVERNMENT GRANTS, SUBSIDIES AND EXPORT INCENTIVES Government grants and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants / subsidies will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire capital assets are brsented by deducting them from the carrying value of the assets. The grant is recognised as income over the life of a debrciable asset by way of a reduced debrciation charge. Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same. Government grants in the nature of promoters' contribution like investment subsidy, where no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof, are treated as capital reserve. Government grants in the form of non-monetary assets, given at a concessional rate, are recorded on the basis of their acquisition cost. In case the non-monetary asset is given free of cost, the grant is recorded at a nominal value. Other government grants and subsidies are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. INVESTMENTS Long term investments (excluding investment properties) are carried at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary in the value of such investments. Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value. Cost of investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Investment properties are carried individually at cost less accumulated debrciation and impairment, if any. Investment properties are capitalised and debrciated (where applicable) in accordance with the policy stated for Fixed Assets. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (a) Short Term Short term employee benefits are charged off at the undiscounted amount in the year in which the related service is rendered. (b) Long Term Post Retirement Post Retirement Benefits comprise of Provident Fund and Gratuity which are accounted for as follows: i) Provident unFd This is a defined contribution plan, and contributions made to the Fund are charged to Revenue. The Company has no further obligations for future provident fund benefits other than monthly contributions. ii) Gratuity unFd This is a defined benefit plan. The Company makes annual contribution to a Gratuity Fund administered by LIC. The liability is determined based on the actuarial valuation using projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period in which they occur. The Retirement Benefit obligation recognized in the Balance Sheet rebrsents the brsent value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost. iii) Leave caesnhment There is no scheme for encashment of unavailed leave. M) BORROWING COSTS Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such assets are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing cost is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying asset is interrupted. N) SEGMENT REPORTING The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocated revenue / expenses / assets / liabilities". O) LEASE Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. P) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period brsented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate. Q) TAXATION Current tax is determined on the basis of taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of applicable tax laws. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is highly probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed debrciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are unabsorbed debrciation and carry forward of losses and items relating to capital losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their realisability. Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in reserves are recognised in reserves and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss. R) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technical feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalised. The amount capitalised comprises expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and debrciated in accordance with the policies stated for Fixed Assets. S) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists. The recoverable amount of such asset is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their brsent value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except in case of revalued assets. T) PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS A provision is recognised when the Company has a brsent obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their brsent value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements. U) INSURANCE CLAIMS Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection. V) SERVICE TAX INPUT CREDIT Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying service received is accounted and when there is reasonable certainty in availing / utilising the credits. W) EXCISE DUTY The Company has opted to adopt for 'Exempted Route' under Central Excise Rules for local sales. Accordingly, CENVAT credit on inputs is not available to the Company and no excise duty is payable on sales of manufactured goods. X) OPERATING CYCLE Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current. 4 The brvious year figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary to conform to current year's classification.
