Mar 31, 2018

1. Significant accounting policies

i) Basis of preparation of financial statements

(a) Compliance with Ind AS The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act. The financial statements up to year ended March 31, 2017 were prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (“Previous GAAP or IGAAP”). The Financial statements for the financial year 2017-2018 are the first financial statement of the Company under Ind AS. In accordance of Ind AS 101, First time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standard the Company has given an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position and financial performance (Refer Note 45).

(b) Historical Cost Convention:- These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below:

- Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value; and

- Defined Benefit Plans - plan assets measured at fair value.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current / non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

ii) Summary of Significant accounting policy

(a) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

(b) Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

A. Tangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The cost of assets under installation or under construction also includes direct expenses incurred till the Balance Sheet date and is shown as capital work-in-progress.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at April 1, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value:

I. Depreciation is provided on the straight line method, as per the useful life of the assets specified in Schedule II of the Act or based on technical estimate made by the Company.

II. Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately based on technical estimate made by the Company. The significant assets identified are depreciated separately.

III. In respect of assets added/ sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed during the year depreciation on such assets is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of such additions or as the case may be, up to the date on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.

IV. The Company has estimated the residual value @ 5% of original cost for all assets. Estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed annually, taking into account commercial and technological obsolescence as well as normal wear and tear and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. The Management estimates the useful lives for the assets as follows:

*Based on internal technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets are different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(c) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of brands acquired comprises its purchase price, including any duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure on their acquisition.

In the case of computer software, the cost of software purchased, comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure on making the software ready for its use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost. Intangible assets i.e. computer software is amortized over a period of 36 months subsequent to its purchase on straight line basis.

Transition to Ind AS:

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of intangible assets recognised as at April 1, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of intangible assets.

The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Expenditure on research is recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless all the criteria for capitalization as set out on Paragraph 21 and 22 of Ind AS 38 have been met by the Company.

(d) Impairment of assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying value of assets for any possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined as higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting period may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had previously been recognised.

(e) Inventories

(i) Finished Good

(a) Stock of manufactured finished goods is valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. In the case of finished goods, cost is determined by taking material, labour and related factory overheads including depreciation and fixed production overheads, which are apportioned on the basis of normal capacity.

(ii) Work-in-progress

(a) Work in progress is valued at raw material cost plus cost directly incurred till the date of balance sheet.

(b) Property Development and construction-related work -in -progress is valued at cost of land plus cost directly incurred till the date of balance sheet.

(iii) Raw material, stores, spares and loose tools are valued at cost. Cost is determined by using the yearly weighted average method.

(iv) Stock in trades are valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. The cost in such cases is valued at the purchase cost using FIFO method.

(f) Foreign exchange transactions and translation

T ransactions in foreign currencies i.e. other than the Company’s functional currency of Indian Rupees are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

(g) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use while pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in active markets are determined on the basis of quoted price for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined on the basis of net asset value as per last available audited financial statements.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the fair value is determined using discounted cash flow method with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of the counter-party.

The fair value of trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities is considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these items due to their short-term nature.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

External valuer’s are involved for valuation of significant assets, liabilities, such as, Gratuity etc.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarizes accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

(h) Financial Assets:

(i) Initial recognition and measurement

The financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. T ransaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

- those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through profit & loss.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

- Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

- Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest revenue which are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

- Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through Profit or Loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

(iii) Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognised only when:

- the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or

- the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows to one or more recipient.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(i) Financial Liabilities

i. Classification as liability or equity: Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

ii. Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit or loss.

iii. Subsequent measurement: Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iv. Derecognition: A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are usually unsecured. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event 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 are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best management estimate required to settle the obligation at each Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best management estimates.

Contingent Liability

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(j) Revenue recognition

i. Sale of goods

Revenue is at the fair value of the consideration that can be reliably measured including excise duty and net of returns, trade discounts, volume based incentives, cost of promotional programs, GST and other indirect taxes as may be applicable, when all significant risk and rewards in the ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer and it is probable that the future economic benefit will flow to the entity as per the terms of the contract, which usually co-inside with the delivery of the goods.

ii. Interest income

Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. While calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.

iii. Rental income

Rental income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

iv. Dividend Income

Dividends from investments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.

(k) Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

(a) Short Term Employee Benefits

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(b) Post-Employment Benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans: The State governed provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme and employee pension scheme under the PF Act are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans: Defined benefit plans of the company comprise employee’s gratuity fund schemes managed by aTrust/SBI Life and Employees Provident Fund for senior employees managed by the T rust. The Provident Fund T rust set up by the company is treated as defined benefit plan since the minimum interest payable by the Provident Fund T rust to the beneficiaries is notified every year by the Government and the company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return on respective investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employee.

Wherever applicable, the present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Remeasurement of defined benefit plans, comprising of actuarial gains or losses are recognised immediately in balance sheet with corresponding debit or credit to other comprehensive income. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on net basis.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

(c) Long Term Employee Benefits

Entitlements to annual leave, casual leave and sick leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. Sick leave and casual leave can be availed during the period while earned leave can be availed or encashed once it exceeds maximum number of accumulation of leave. The company determines the liability for such accumulated leave using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each Balance Sheet date in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b) (ii) above.

(d) The company does not en-cash leave which has been accumulated up to specified period. Such leaves have been classified as long term employee benefits. Such leave accumulated at each accounting period are carried forward to the next accounting period. Leave other than specified leave is encashable. There are no other en-cashable short term benefits. The other staff benefit schemes will be provided according to respective laws in respect of employees as and when these schemes will become applicable to the company.

(I) Income taxes

(i) Current tax

Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT”) paid in accordance with tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal tax in future. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the year in which it is availed. Accordingly, it is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the company and the asset can be measured reliably.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences could be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax for the year

Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(m) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(n) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net 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 regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The cash flow statement is part of financial statements of the company.

(o) Earnings Per share

i. Basic Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit attributable to owners of the Company.

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.

ii. Diluted Earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

- the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(p) Segment Reporting

(i) Operating Segments

Based on the guiding principles given in Ind-AS-108, the Company’s reportable segments include milk/milk products (i.e. manufacture and distribution of dairy milk & milk products), real estate & hospitality and services. The Company’s organizational structure and governance process are designed to support effective management of multiple business segments while retaining focus on each of them. The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Corporates Review Committee which is the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

(ii) Geographical Information

Since the company’s activities/operations are within the country and considering the nature of products it deals in, the risks and returns are the same and as such, there is only one geographical segment.

(iii) Segment Accounting Policies

In addition to significant accounting policies applicable to the business segments, the accounting policies in relation to segment accounting are as under:

a. Segment revenue and expenses

The revenue and expenses of segments are directly attributable to the segments.

b. Segment assets and liabilities

Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist principally of operating cash, debtors, inventories and fixed assets net of allowances and provisions which are reported as direct offsets in the balance sheet. Segment liabilities include all operating liabilities and consist principally of creditors and accrued liabilities. Segment assets do not include income tax assets and interest bearing assets. Segment liabilities do not include interest bearing liabilities and income-tax liabilities.

(q) Leases As a Lessee

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as lessee, has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings or other financial liabilities as appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability 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.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Statement of Profit and 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 lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

Inventories are hypothecated to Punjab National Bank aganist working capital (cash credit) borrowings.

Valuation of Inventories

(i) Finished Goods:

(a) Stock of manufactured finished goods is valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. In the case of finished goods, cost is determined by taking material, labour and related factory overheads including depreciation and fixed production overheads, which are apportioned on the basis of normal capacity.

(ii) Work in Progress

(a) Work in progress is valued at raw material cost plus cost directly incurred till the date of balance sheet.

(b) Property Development and construction-related work-in-progress is valued at cost of land plus cost directly incurred till the date of balance sheet.

(iii) Raw material, stores, spares and loose tools are valued at cost, cost is determined by using the yearly weighted average method.

(iv) Stock in trades are valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. The cost in such cases is valued at the purchase cost using FIFO method.


Mar 31, 2016

(a) Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 and the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified). 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.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and reported amount of income and expenses during the year. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, employee benefits and provision for income tax. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision in accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the year of revision.

(c) Fixed Assets

(i) Tangible Assets

Fixed assets are stated at their original cost of acquisition inclusive of inward freight, duties, taxes and incidental expenses relating to acquisition and installation net of grants received, if any.

The cost of assets under installation or under construction plus direct expenses as at the Balance Sheet date is shown as capital work-in-progress.

(ii) Intangible Assets

The cost of brands acquired comprises its purchase price, including any duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure on their acquisition.

In the case of computer software, the cost of software purchased for internal use or main software comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure on making the software ready for its use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the cost.

(d) Depreciation/Amortization

(i) Depreciation is provided on the straight line method, as per the useful life of the assets specified in Schedule II of the Act.

(ii) In respect of assets added, sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed during the year depreciation on such assets is calculated on a pro-rata basis from the date of such additions or as the case may be, up to the date on which such asset has been sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed.

(iii) Intangible assets i.e. computer software is amortized over a period of 36 months subsequent to its purchase on straight line basis.

(e) Impairment

The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to ascertain if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset''s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted cost of capital.

(f) Inventories

(i) Finished Good:

(a) Stock of manufactured finished goods is valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. In the case of finished goods, cost is determined by taking material, labour and related factory overheads including depreciation and fixed production overheads, which are apportioned on the basis of normal capacity.

(b) Unsold real estate inventory is valued at lower of cost or market value.

(ii) Work-in-process:

(a) Work in process is valued at raw material cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower.

(b) Property development and construction-related work-in-progress is valued at cost till such time the outcome of the work cannot be ascertained and thereafter at lower of cost or net realizable value.

(iii) Raw material, stores, spares and loose tools are valued at cost or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Cost is determined by using the yearly weighted average method.

(iv) Stock in trades are valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. The cost in such cases is valued at the purchase cost using FIFO method.

(g) Foreign Exchange Transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences are recorded in the profit & loss accounts when the amount actually is paid on import of goods are converted into Indian Rupees. Accordingly, exchange differences arising on foreign exchange differences settled during the period are recognized in the profit and loss account of the period.

Monetary current assets and monetary current liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the balance sheet. The resulting difference is also recorded in the profit & loss account.

Exchange differences arising on foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.

(h) Investment

Investments are classified into current and long term investments. Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are stated at the lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual basis. Long term investments, including interests in joint-venture companies, are carried at cost. A provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of long term investments.

Profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss on disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds, net of expenses. When disposing of a part of the holding of an individual investment, the carrying amount to be allocated to that part is determined on the basis of the average carrying amount of the total holding of the investment.

(i) Revenue Recognition

(i) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers. Revenue from the sale of goods is stated at net of trade discount & value added tax (VAT). Consignment sales are booked to the extent of consignment sales notes received from consignees. The revenue on sale of residential/commercial plots and constructed units are recognized on completion and execution of sale/conveyance deeds and on reasonable expectation of collection of the sale consideration from the customer. The estimates relating to sale value, estimated cost etc., are revised and updated periodically by the management and necessary adjustments are made in the current year''s account.

(ii) Interest revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

(iii) Dividend income is recognized if the right to receive the payment is established by the Balance Sheet date.

(j) Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

(a) Short Term Employee Benefits

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(b) Post-Employment Benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans: The State governed provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and the company''s approved superannuation scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans: Defined benefit plans of the company comprise employee''s gratuity fund schemes managed by a Trust/SBI Life and Employees Provident Fund managed by the Trust. The Provident Fund Trust set up by the company is treated as defined benefit plan since the minimum interest payable by the Provident Fund Trust to the beneficiaries is notified every year by the Government and the company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return on respective investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employee.

Wherever applicable, the present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on net basis.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

(c) Long Term Employee Benefits

Entitlements to annual leave, casual leave and sick leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. Sick leave and casual leave can only be availed while earned leave can either be availed or encashed subject to restriction on the maximum number of accumulation of leave. The company determines the liability for such accumulated leave using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each Balance Sheet date in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b) (ii) above.

(d) The company does not encash leave which has been accumulated up to specified period. Such leaves have been classified as long term employee benefits. Such leaves accumulated at each accounting period are carried forward to the next accounting period. Leave other than specified leave is encashable. There are no other encashable short term benefits. The other staff benefit schemes will be provided according to respective laws in respect of employees as and when these schemes will become applicable to the company.

(k) Research and Development Expenditure

Revenue expenditure whenever incurred on research is expensed as incurred and such expenditure incurred during the research phase is directly charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss. The expenditure incurred during development stage (if any) is capitalized.

(l) Taxes on Income

Minimum Alternate Tax ("MAT") paid in accordance with tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal tax in future. MAT credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the year in which it is availed. Accordingly, it is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the company and the asset can be measured reliably.

Deferred tax is recognized subject to the consideration of prudence, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable incomes and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences that result between taxable profits and accounting profits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets on timing difference are recognized only if there is a reasonable certainly that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. However, deferred tax assets on the timing differences when unabsorbed depreciation and losses carried forward exist, are recognized only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each Balance Sheet date.

(m) Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle and are reviewed regularly and adjusted wherever necessary to reflect the current best estimates of the obligation. Where the company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, only when such reimbursement is virtually certain. Contingent liabilities are disclosed after an evaluation of the facts and legal aspects of the matters involved. Contingent assets are neither recognized, nor disclosed. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

(n) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of such asset till the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(o) Earnings Per Share

In determining earnings per share, the company considers the net profit after tax and includes the posttax effect of any extraordinary / exceptional item. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(p) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net 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 regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The cash flow statement is separately attached with the financial statements of the company.

(q) Leases

(i) Assets acquired under leases where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

(ii) Assets taken on lease under which lessor effectively retains all significant risks & rewards of ownership have been classified as operating lease. Lease payments made under operating lease are recognized as expense in the profit & loss account on straight line basis over the primary term of the lease as mentioned in the lease agreement on accrual basis.

(iii) Assets given under a finance lease are recognized as receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognized over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

MAT Credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the year in which the same is availed. Accordingly, it is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the company and the asset can be measured reliably.

Deferred tax assets on timing difference are recognized only if there is a reasonable certainly that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. However, deferred tax assets on the timing differences when unabsorbed depreciation and losses carried forward exist, are recognized only to the extent that there is virtual certainly that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each balance sheet date.

10. Leases

(i) Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

(ii) Assets taken on lease under which lessor effectively retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been classified as operating lease. Lease payments made under operating lease are recognized as expense in the profit & loss account on straight line basis over the primary term of the lease as mentioned in the lease agreement on accrual basis.

(iii) Assets given under a finance lease are recognized as receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognized over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

(iv) Assets leased out under operating leases are capitalized. Rental income is recognized on accrual basis over the lease term.

(v) Initial direct costs relating to assets given on finance leases are charged to Profit & Loss Account.

(a) In the case of gratuity liability, the present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.
