Differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognized prospectively in the year in which the results are known / materialized. iii. Fixed assets and intangible assets Fixed assets are assets held with the intention of being used for the purpose of producing goods or rendering of services and are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. The cost of fixed assets comprise the purchase price including import duties and other non refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost to bring the asset to working condition for intended use. Further, any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost. Intangible assets are identifiable nonmonetary assets, without physical substance, held for use in producing goods or rendering of services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes. The intangible assets are separately acquired and the costs of such intangible assets are capable of being measured reliably. The cost of intangible assets comprise the purchase price including import duties and other non refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost for making the asset ready for intended use. iv. Debrciation and amortization Debrciation on fixed assets is provided based on useful life of the assets, on straight line method in accordance with the rates brscribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Intangible assets are amortized over a period of 5 years on straight line basis. v. Investments Investments are classified into long-term and current investments based on the intention of the management at the time of acquisition. Long-term investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value other than temporary, if any. Current investments are carried at cost or fair value whichever is lower. vi. Earnings per share (‘EPS’) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as Basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of potential dilutive equity shares unless the effect of the potential dilutive equity shares is anti-dilutive. vii. Revenue recognition a) Sales are accounted on the basis of despatches in accordance with the terms of sale when significant risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. b) Sales include equipment billed but despatch of which is withheld at the request of the customer. c) Revenue from services is recognized in accordance with the specific terms of contract on performance. d) Revenue from construction contracts is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the reporting date of the financial statements on the basis of percentage of completion method. The stage of completion of contracts is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs for each contract. e) Expected loss, if any, on the construction / project related activity is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is foreseen, irrespective of the stage of completion of the contract. While determining the amount of foreseeable loss, all elements of costs and related incidental income not included is taken into consideration. f) In respect of construction contracts revenues include taxes and duties. g) Other Income i) Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable ii) Dividend income is recognized when the company’s right to receive dividend is established. viii. Inventories Raw materials and stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, these items are considered to be realizable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost. Workin- progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Finished goods and work-in-progress include cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their brsent location and condition.

Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates brvailing on the date of transaction. Monetary items are translated at the rates brvailing on the reporting date. The exchange difference between the rate brvailing on the date of transaction and on the date of settlement and also on translation of monetary items at the reporting date is recognized as income or expense, except in case of long term liabilities, where they relate to acquisition of fixed assets, in which case they are adjusted to the carrying cost of such assets. 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; and nonmonetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. For forward contracts which are entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding on the date of entering into that forward contract, the brmium or discount on such contracts is amortized as income or expense over the life of the contract. Any profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of forward contracts is recognized as an income or expense for the period. The exchange difference on such a forward exchange contract is calculated as the difference between : a) the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and b) the same foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. x Cash flows Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash on deposit with scheduled banks, other than margin money deposits.

The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated. xi. Income-taxes Tax expense comprises of current tax and deferred tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed debrciation or carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits. Minimum alternate tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal incometax during the period in which the company is allowed to carry forward the MAT credit as per the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘specified period’). The company reviews the same at each reporting date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit asset to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period. xii.

The liability is recognized on the basis of the brsent value of the future benefit obligations as determined by actuarial valuation. d) All actuarial gains/losses in respect of post employment benefits and other long term employee benefits are charged to the statement of profit and loss. xiv. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use.

Finance charges are charged directly against income. The costs identified as directly attributable to activities performed for a finance lease are included as part of the amount recognized as leased assets. If there is no reasonable certainty that the company will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, capitalized leased assets are fully debrciated over the lease term or their useful life, whichever is shorter.
