Accounting Policies of Lakshmi Finance & Industrial Corporation Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2024

3. Material Accounting policies:

a) Significant accounting estimates, assumptions, and judgements:

The preparation of Company’s financial statements requires management to make accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures of contingencies at the end of the reporting period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

Estimates and Assumptions:

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The assumptions and estimates made by the Company are based on parameters available/prevailing when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market change or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

i. Business Model Assessment

Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the SPPI and the business model test. The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed. Monitoring is part of the Company’s continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate whether there has been a change in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets.

ii. Defined Benefit Plans:

The present value of the gratuity obligation is determined using actuarial valuation. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, rate of increment in salaries and mortality rates. Due to complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All the assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

iii. Fair Value measurement:

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities on reporting date cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques i.e., the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets.

iv. Contingencies:

Management judgement is required for estimating the possible inflow/outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claims/litigations against the Company/by the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

v. Property, Plant and Equipment:

Based on internal technical assessment, the management has adopted the useful life and residual value of its Property, Plant and Equipment. Management believes that the assigned useful lives and residual value are reasonable.

vi. Income Taxes:

Management judgment is required for the calculation of provision for income taxes and deferred tax assets/liabilities. The Company reviews at each balance sheet date the carrying amount of deferred tax assets/liabilities. The factors used in estimates may differfrom actual outcome which could lead to significant adjustment to the amounts reported in the financial statements.

vii. Lifetime Expected Credit Loss on Trade and Other Receivables:

Trade and Other Receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their transaction value as

reduced by lifetime expected credit losses (“LTECL”). Management has evaluated LTECL for different class of its trade and other receivables as follows:

b) Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.

The Company adopted cost model as its accounting policy in recognition of the property, Plant and Equipment and recognises the transaction value as the cost.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.

Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant, and equipment under installation/under development as at the balance sheet date.

An item of Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Property, Plant and Equipment which are found to be not usable or retired from active use or when no further benefits are expected from their use are removed from the books of account and the carrying value if any is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.

c) Investment Property:

Property that was held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When a part of investment property is replaced, the original carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Where applicable, Investment properties are depreciated using the written down value method over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of buildings, classified as investment property, is considered as 60 years as estimated by the Management.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their use. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit and loss in the period of derecognition.

d) Impairment of non-financial assets:

i. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

ii. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exists or have decreased. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

e) Leases:

The determination of whether an agreement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

a. Operating lease:

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases.

b. Finance Lease:

A lease is classified as a financial lease where the lessor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the leased item.

Accounting of Operating leases:

a. Where the Company is the lessee:

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for Cancellable leases. For remaining leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. In case the escalation in operating lease payments is in line with the expected general inflation rate then the lease payments are charged to statement of profit and loss instead of straight-line method.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the borrowing rates. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments

have been classified as financing cash flows.

b. where the Company is the lessor:

Lease income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis overthe lease term. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc., are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term.

f) Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured and there exists reasonable certainty of its recovery. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable as reduced for estimated customer credits and other similar allowances

Specifically, the following basis is adopted for various sources of income:

i. Interest Income

Interest Income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

ii. Dividend Income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established and no significant uncertainty as to collectability exists.

iii. Income from Investments

Profit/loss earned on sale of investments is recognised on a settlement date basis. Profit or loss on sale of investments is determined on the basis of weighted average cost method. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

g) Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

h) Retirement and other employee benefits:

i. Employer’s contribution to Provident Fund, which is in the nature of defined contribution scheme, is expensed off when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations otherthan the contribution payable to the fund.

ii. The Company operates a gratuity plan which is in the nature of defined benefit obligation. The Company’s liability is provided based on independent actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial yearas perthe requirements of Ind AS 19on “Employee Benefits”.

iii. Gratuity liability is considered as post-employment benefit expense as per Ind AS -19. Accordingly, re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in the retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

iv. Accumulated leaves, which are expected to be utilised within the next twelve months, are treated as

short-term employee benefits. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Company treats accumulated leaves expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.

i) Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

a. Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the "results of operations dining the reporting period". Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

b. Tangible Fixed Assets:

Fixed assets are stated at cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be), less accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost to bring the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

c. Depreciation on Tangible Fixed Assets:

Depreciation is provided considering the useful lives of respective assets, as provided and prescribed under schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Fixed Assets costing rupees Five thousand or less are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

d. Inventories:

Stock in Trade is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

e. Prior period items:

All items of income/expenditure pertaining to prior period, which are material, are accounted through "prior period adjustments" and the others are shown under respective heads of account in the statement of Profit and Loss.

f. Revenue Recognition :

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Specifically the following basis is adopted:

Sale of Commodities:

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.

Interest:

Revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Dividends:

Dividend is recognised when the right to receive the same is established.

g. Investments:

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a 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 lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value of each long term investment is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in nature.

An investment in land or buildings, which is not interded to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the company, is treated as investment property. Investment properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation on buildings is provided on written down value method, in accordance with Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

h. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits:

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for or the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year.

The Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the profit and loss account of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective trusts.

Short term compensated absences are provided on an estimated basis. Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuaral valuation on project unit credit method carried by an actuary as at the end of the year.

Actuarial gains/losses are immedately taken to profit and loss account and are not defened.

i. Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs that are directly attrbutable to the acquisition, construction or production of Fixed Assets, which take substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalized. Other Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the yea; in which they are incurred.

j. Leases:

Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases.

Where the Company is the lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account on straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where the Company is the lessor

Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognized in the profit and loss account. Costs, including depreciation are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account.

k. Earnings per Share (Basic and Diluted):

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

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 are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

l. Taxes on Income:

Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act 1961 enacted in India. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. If the Company has carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation and tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only, if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realised against future taxable profits.

m. Impairment:

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on intemal/extemal 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 average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset are no longer exist or have decreased.

n. Provisions:

A provision is recognised when there is 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 its present value and are determined based on 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.

o. Contingent Liabilities:

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence 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.

p. Earnings per Share (Basic and Diluted):

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

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 are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

q. Cash Flow Statement:
