A. Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS")
under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are
measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act , 2013 (''Act'') (to the extent notified) and
guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind-AS are prescribed under
Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
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.
The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis except the following:
⢠certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) are measured at fair value;
⢠assets held for sale- measured at fair value less cost to sell;
⢠defined benefit plans- plan assets measured at fair value
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal
operating cycle, held primarily for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after
the reporting period and cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, it is held primarily for the
purpose of trading, it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period and there is no
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting
period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
(iv) The functional currency of the Company is the Indian Rupee. These financial statements are presented in
Rs. In thousands and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise stated.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind-AS requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application
of accounting policies and there ported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the period. Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and
subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed in note C
below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in
circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in
the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements.
The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for
income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/ recovered for uncertain tax positions.
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The
charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset''s expected
useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of
Company''s assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed
periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar
assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be
measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques.
The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible,
a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such
as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the
reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 26-28 for further disclosures.
Land (including Land Developments) is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and
equipment are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost historical less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and
borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and
maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost,
less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing
costs capitalized in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the
appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are
ready for their intended use.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment (excluding freehold land) are measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When significant parts of property, plant
and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Company recognizes such parts as individual
assets with specific useful lives and depreciation respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is
performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement cost
only if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and land
developments) less their residual values over the useful lives, using the straight- line method ("SLM").
Management believes that the useful lives of the assets reflect the periods over which these assets are
expected to be used, which are as follows:
Depreciation on additions/ deletions to fixed assets is calculated pro-rata from/ up to the date of such
additions/ deletions.
Assets individually costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual values, useful life and
depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period
of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the
future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or
retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between sale
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Intangible asset including intangible assets under development are stated at cost, net of accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured
on initial recognition at cost.
Intangible assets in case of computer software are amortised on straight-line basis over a period of 4 years,
based on management estimate. The amortization period and the amortisation method are reviewed at the
end of each financial year.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite
lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method
for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are
treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with infinite lives
is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of
another asset.
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible
and intangible) may be impaired. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of
assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from
other assets or groups of assets, is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an
estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/ cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value
exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognized in the profit or loss. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s or cash generating unit''s net
selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to
arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Assessment is also
done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for
an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. A reversal of an impairment
loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity. Financial Instruments are further divided in two parts viz. Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities.
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the
date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
A Financial Assets is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:
⢠The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash
flows, and
⢠Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are Solely Payments of
Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss.
The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.
A Financial Assets is classified as at the FVTOCI if following criteria are met:
The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows (i.e. SPPI) and
selling the financial assets.
Financial instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting
date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However,
the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss
in the statement of profit and loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the statement of profit and loss. Interest earned whilst
holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income using the EIR method.
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the
criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to designate a financial instrument, which otherwise meets amortized
cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a
measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ''accounting mismatch''). The Company has not
designated any financial instrument as at FVTPL.
Financial instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held
for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind-AS
103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an
irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The
Company makes such election on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial
recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all
fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of
the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the
cumulative gain or loss within equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at
fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Investment in subsidiaries is carried
at cost in the financial statements.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets)
is primarily de-recognised (i.e. removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:
⢠The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
⢠The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through''
arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,
but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass¬
through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.
When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor
transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of
the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The
transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations
that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the
lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Company could be required to repay.
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade
receivables and bank balance;
⢠Financial assets that are debt instruments and are measured as at FVTOCI
⢠Lease receivables under Ind-AS 17
⢠Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from
transactions that are within the scope of Ind-AS 18 (referred to as ''contractual revenue receivables'' in these
financial statements)
⢠Loan commitments which are not measured as at FVTPL
⢠Financial guarantee contracts which are not measured as at FVTPL
The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables
or contract revenue receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it
recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that
whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not
increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has
increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument
improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the
Company reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL. Lifetime ECL are the
expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument.
The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within
12 months after the reporting date.ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to
the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all
cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, the Company considers:
All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options)
over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the
financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the Company uses the remaining contractual term of
the financial instrument; and
⢠Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual
terms as a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance
on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates
over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every
reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking
estimates are analysed. On that basis, the Company estimates the following provision matrix at the reporting
date:
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in
the statement of profit and loss. This amount is grouped under the head ''other expenses''. The balance sheet
presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
⢠Financial assets measured as at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivables and lease receivables: ECL
is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the Balance
Sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company
does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.
⢠Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet,
i.e. as a liability.
⢠Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI: Since financial assets are already reflected at fair value, impairment
allowance is not further reduced from its value. Rather, ECL amount is presented as ''accumulated
impairment amount'' in the OCI.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the
basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to
enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.
The Company does not have any Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e.,
financial assets which are credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
The Company''s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as
appropriate.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are
classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This
category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated
as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are
also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss is designated as such
at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as
FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/
loss are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer
the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The Company
has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss.
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and
borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognised as well as through the EIR amortisation
process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs
that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit
and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date, are classified as liabilities under
borrowings. The dividends on these preference shares, if any are recognised in the profit or loss as finance
cost.
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made
to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in
accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a
liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the
guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined
as per impairment requirements of Ind-AS 109 and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.
A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there
is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts and interest rate
swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks, respectively.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial
assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
The purchase contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under Ind-AS 109 are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken
directly to profit or loss.
Inventories are valued at lower of cost on First-In-First-Out (FIFO) or net realizable value after providing for
obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of
purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of
purchased inventory is determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
Income from trading in securities are recognized on accrual basis on the date of sales and purchase and
determined based on the FIFO cost of the securities sold.
Sales are recognised when the substantial risk and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the
buyer as per the terms of the contract and are recognized net of trade discounts, rebates, sales taxes and
excise duties. Domestic sales are recognized on dispatch to customers. Exports sales are recognized on the
date of cargo receipts, bill of landing or other relevant documents, in accordance with the terms and
conditions for sales.
Interest income are recognised on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding are the
applicable interest rate except, where the recovery is uncertain, in which case it is accounted for on receipts.
Dividend: Dividend income is recognized when right to received dividend is established.
Interest: Interest income on fixed deposits with banks is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Gain/ loss on investment in share and securities are accounted for when the investment is sold on the day of
settlement of transaction.

A) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared to comply with the
Accounting Standards referred to in the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006 notified by the Central Government in exercise
of the power conferred under sub-section (1) (a) of section 642 and the
relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 read with the Rule 7 of
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 in respect of section 133 of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") and Accounting Standard-30 'Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India to the extent it does not contradict any
other accounting standard referred to in section 133 of the Act. The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under
the historical cost convention on accrual basis. The accounting
policies have been consistently applied by the Company unless otherwise
stated.
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 Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based
on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of
assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash
equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12
months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of
assets and liabilities.
B) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be
made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual
results and estimated are recognised in the period in which the results
are known / materialised.
C) Fixed assets Tangible Fixed Assets:
Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes
all incidental expenses related to acquisition and attributed to cost
of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from
disposal of fixed assets which are carried at cost are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible Fixed Assets:
Intangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
D) Depreciation and amortisation
Tangible Fixed Assets:
Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the Straight Line Method
(SLM) unless otherwise mentioned, pro-rata to the period of use of
assets, based on the useful lives as specified in Part C of Schedule II
to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on assets acquired/ sold
during the year is provided on prorata basis.
As per the provisions of Note 7 of Para C of Schedule II of the
Companies Act, 2013, the carrying amount of the existing assets as on
April 1,2014:
- will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset as
per this Schedule;
- in cases where the remaining useful life of an asset is nil, the
residual value has been transferred to the statement of profit and loss
Intangible Fixed Assets:
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives on
straight line method over a period of four years. Amortisation on
additions/ deletions to intangible assets is calculated pro-rata from/
up to the date of such additions/ deletions.
E) Revenue recognition
Income from services
Revenues from Web-hosting services are recognised when services are
rendered in accordance with the terms of the agreements and the revenue
is measurable and there is no uncertainty as to ultimate collection.
Sales of Shares
Income from trading in securities are recognised on accrual basis on
the date of sales and purchases and determined based on the FIFO cost
of the securities sold.
F) Other income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. Dividend:
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend is
established.
Gain/ Loss on Investments in shares and securities are accounted for
when the Investment is sold on the day of settlement of transaction.
G) Cash flow statement
Cash flows 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.
H) Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in
hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
I) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date, on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at
cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are
carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise
a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such
reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.
J) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost (on FIFO) or net reusable value. Cost
includes all charges in bringing the inventories to the point of sale,
including other levies.
K) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus
shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have
changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating
diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
L) Accounting for Taxation of Income
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax,
are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the
period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to
the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in
the respective jurisdictions.
Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to
the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the
extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
can be realised. 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. At each Balance Sheet date, the
group reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there
is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities
representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the
deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same
governing taxation laws.
M) Provision and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions: Provisions are recognised when there is a present
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance
sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there
is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one
or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it
is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
N) Impairment
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is
any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable
group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that
are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups
of assets, is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such
indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the
asset/cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value
exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset's or cash generating
unit's net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the
present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to
whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for
an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have
decreased.

A) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical
cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been
prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting
standards notified under Section 211(3C) [Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and the other relevant provisions
of the Companies Act, 1956.
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 Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956.
Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of
assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash
equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12
months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of
assets and liabilities.
B) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be
made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the
date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual
results and estimated are recognised in the period in which the results
are known / materialised.
C) Fixed assets
Tangible Fixed Assets:
Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes
all incidental expenses related to acquisition and attributed to cost
of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from
disposal of fixed assets which are carried at cost are recognised in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Intangible Fixed Assets:
Intangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any
D) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation on Tangible assets has been provided on the straight-line
method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956. Depreciation on assets acquired/sold during the year is
provided on prorata basis. Assets individually costing Rs. 5,000 or
less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives on
straight line method over a period of four years. Amortisation on
additions/ deletions to intangible assets is calculated pro-rata from/
up to the date of such additions/ deletions.
E) Revenue recognition
Income from services
Revenues from Web-hosting services are recognised when services are
rendered in accordance with the terms of the agreements and the revenue
is measurable and there is no uncertainty as to ultimate collection.
F) Other income
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. Dividend:
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend is
established.
G) Cash flow statement
Cash flows 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.
H) Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in
hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
I) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date, on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at
cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are
carried at cost. However, provision for diminution is made to recognise
a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such
reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.
J) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus
shares, other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have
changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating
diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
K) Accounting for Taxation of Income
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax,
are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the
period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to
the tax authorities in accordance with the taxation laws prevailing in
the respective jurisdictions.
Deferred tax is recognised for all the timing differences, subject to
the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets are recognised and carried forward only to the
extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
can be realised. 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. At each Balance Sheet date, the
group reassesses unrecognised deferred tax assets, if any.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there
is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities
representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the
deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same
governing taxation laws.
L) Provision and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions: Provisions are recognised when there is a present
obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance
sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there
is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one
or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the
company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it
is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
M) Impairment
Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is
any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable
group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that
are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups
of assets, is considered as a cash generating unit. If any such
indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the
asset/cash generating unit is made. Assets whose carrying value
exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to the recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset''s or cash generating
unit''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the
present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life. Assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date as to
whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for
an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have
decreased.

1.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (''the Act''),
and the accounting principles generally accepted in India and comply
with the accounting standards prescribed in the Companies (Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2006 issued by the Central Government, in
consultation with the National Advisory Committee on Accounting
Standards, to the extent applicable.
The Revised Schedule VI has become effective from 1 April, 2011 for the
preparation of financial statements. This has significantly impacted
the disclosure and presentation made in the financial statements.
Previous year''s figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever
necessary to correspond with the current year''s classification /
disclosure.
These financial statements are presented in Indian rupees and rounded
off to nearest thousands unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Use of estimates
The preparation 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 preparation 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.
1.3 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on FIFO basis) 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, transit
insurance and receiving charges.
1.4 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. Cash and cash
equivalents includes fixed deposits which are freely remissible but
excludes interest accrued on fixed deposits.
1.5 Cash flow statement
Cash flows 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.
1.6 Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method as per the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.
Depreciation on assets acquired/sold during the year is provided on
prorata basis
The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation
period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the
amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.
1.7 Revenue recognition
Sale of goods
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
exclude value added tax.
Income from services
Revenues from services rendered are recognised when services are
rendered and when the revenue is measurable and there is no uncertainty
as to ultimate collection
Other Income
Interest income is accounted on accrual basis. Dividend income is
accounted for when the right to receive it is established.
1.8 Fixed assets
Tangible assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest
on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up
to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other
incidental expenses incurred up to that date. Exchange differences
arising on restatement / settlement of long-term foreign currency
borrowings in any in near future relating to acquisition of depreciable
fixed assets will be adjusted to the cost of the respective assets and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets in that
respective financial year. Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed
assets is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase
in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed
standard of performance.
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 in the Balance Sheet.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises
its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and
any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent
expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is
recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such
expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits
in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such
expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in
which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.
1.9 Foreign currency transactions and translations
Foreign currency transactions will be accounted at the exchange rates
ruling on the date of the transactions. At the year end all monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency will be restated
at the closing exchange rates.
Treatment of exchange differences arising out of actual payment /
realisations and from the year end restatement referred to above will
be adjused to profit and loss account, subject to transaction.
1.10 Investments
Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried
individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than
temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are
carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of
investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties.
1.11 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 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 presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are
adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as
appropriate.
1.12 Taxes on income
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the
year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax
Act, 1961 .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 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 substantially enacted as at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences.
Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry
forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty
that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to
realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing
differences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty
exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which these can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
offset 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.
1.13 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 assets is estimated and
impairment is recognised, if tbe 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 present 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.
1.14 Provision and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present 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 present 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.

All fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated
depreciation. Cost includes all incidental expenses related to
acquisition.
D. Impairment of Fixed Assets:
At the end of each year, the Company determines whether a provision
should be made for impairment loss on fixed assets by considering the
indication that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with
Accounting Standard 28 on "Impairment of Assets". Where the recoverable
amount of any fixed assets is lower than its carrying amount, a
provision for impairment loss on fixed assets is made.
E. Depreciation
i) Depreciation on Fixed Assets has been provided on Straight Line
Method as per the rates specified in Scheduled XIV of the Companies
Act, 1956.
ii) Depreciation on acquired/sold during the year is provided on
prorata basis.

demands, if any are shown as advances.
L. Accounting for Taxation of Income:
Current taxes
Provision for current income-tax is recognized in accordance with the
provisions of Indian Income- tax Act, 1961 and is made annually based
on the tax liability after taking credit for tax allowances and

Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to timing differences that result between the
profits offered for income taxes and the profits as per the financial
statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the
tax rates and the tax laws that have been enacted or substantially
enacted at the balance sheet date. The effect of a change in tax rates
on deferred tax and assets or liabilities are recognized in the period
that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax Assets are recognized
only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be
realized in the future. Deferred Tax Assets are reviewed as at each
Balance Sheet date.
