Accounting Policies of Metroglobal Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2024

1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

1.2.1Basis of preparation

a) Statement of Compliance with Ind AS

The Standalone Financial Statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance
with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time
to time and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India.

b) Historical cost convention

The Standalone Financial Statements have been
prepared and presented under the historical cost
convention with the exception of certain assets
and liabilities that are required to be carried at fair
value by Ind AS.

These Standalone Financial Statements of the
Company as at and for the year ended March 31,
2024 (including comparatives) were approved
and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors
of the Company on May 24, 2024.

The financial statements are presented in INR and
all amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest
thousand and indicated in lacs of rupees, unless
otherwise indicated.

1.2.2 Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with Ind AS requires management to make certain
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affects
the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the
accompanying disclosures. Future results could differ
due to these estimates and differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognized in the

period in which the results are known / materialized.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on
an ongoing basis.

The said estimates are based on the facts and events,
that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred
after that date but provide additional evidence about
conditions existing as at the reporting date.

Significant Estimates and assumptions are required in
particular for:

(i) Useful life of property, plant and equipment

This involves determination of the estimated
useful life of property, plant and equipment and
the assessment as to which components of the
cost may be capitalized. Useful life of these assets
is based on the life prescribed in Schedule II to
the Companies Act, 2013. Management reviews
its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable /
amortizable assets at each reporting date, based
on the expected utility of the assets.

(ii) Taxes

The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant
judgement are involved in estimating budgeted
profits for the purpose of paying advance
tax, determining the provision for income tax,
including amount expected to be paid / recovered
for uncertain tax position. Significant management
judgement is also required to determine the
amount of deferred tax assets that can be
recognized, based upon the likely timing and the
level of future taxable profit together with future
tax planning strategies, including estimates of
temporary differences reversing on account of
available benefits from the Income Tax Act, 1961.

(iii) Defined benefit plans (Gratuity Benefits)

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

1.2.3 Current & Non-Current Classification

Any asset or liability is classified as current if it satisfies
any of the following conditions:

(i) The asset/liability is expected to be realized/
settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;

(ii) The asset is intended for sale or consumption;

(iii) The asset/liability is held primarily for the purpose
of trading;

(iv) The asset/liability is expected to be realized/
settled within twelve months after the reporting
period;

(v) The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless it is
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle
a liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting date;

(vi) In the case of a liability, the Company does not
have an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting date.

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non¬
current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified
as non-current assets and liabilities respectively.

For the purpose of current/non-current classification of
assets and liabilities, the Company has ascertained its
normal operating cycle as twelve months.

1.3 Property, Plant and Equipment

Recognition and Measurement

Property, Plant and Equipment, including Capital
Work in Progress, are stated at cost of acquisition
or construction less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase
price (net of tax credits, wherever applicable), import
duty and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any
directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use.

Borrowing cost relating to acquisition/construction of
Property, Plant and Equipment which takes 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.

Depreciation/amortization:

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on straight
line method over the useful life of assets specified in
Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The management believes that the useful life as
given above the best represent the period over which
the management expects to use these assets. The
Company reviews the useful life and residual value at
each reporting date.

An item ofproperty, plant and equipment is derecognized
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from continued use of asset.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement
of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying
amount of the assets and is recognized in Statement of
Profit and Loss.

Derecognition:

An item ofproperty, plant and equipment is derecognized
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits
are expected to arise from continued use of the asset.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement
of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying
amount of the assets and is recognized in Statement of
Profit and Loss.

1.4 Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and Cheque
in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks
and other short-term highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash & which
are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company
reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets,
other than inventories and deferred tax assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those
assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the
asset is estimated in order to determine the extent
of the impairment loss. 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 individual
asset/cash generating unit is made.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference
between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable
amount. Losses are recognized in profit or loss. When
the Company considers that there are no realistic

prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant
amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment
loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can
be related objectively to an event occurring after
the impairment was recognized, then the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit
or loss.

1.6 Investment in Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled
Entities, Associates and Unincorporated
Entities

Investment in Subsidiary, Joint Controlled Entities
and Associates are measured at cost less impairment
in accordance with Ind AS 27 “Separate Financial
Statements”.

In case of unincorporated entities in the nature of a Joint
Operation, the Company recognizes its direct right and
its share of jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities,
contingent liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint
operations. These have been incorporated in these
financial statements under the appropriate headings.

1.7 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of
promised products or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration which the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those
products or services.

Sale of goods:

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when
the control of the goods has been passed to the
customer as per the terms of agreement and there is no
continuing effective control or managerial involvement
with the goods.

Dividend:

Revenue is recognized when the Company’s right to
receive the payment is established, which is generally
when shareholder approve the dividend.

Interest Income:

Interest income is recognized on a time proportionate
basis taking into account the amounts invested and the
rate of interest.

Profit or Loss on Sale of Investment:

Profit or loss on sale of investment is recognized on the
contract date.

1.8 Inventories

(i) Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value.

(ii) Cost of inventories have been computed to include
all costs of purchases, all non-refundable duties
& taxes and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.

(iii) Inventory of stores and spares, being not material,
are charged to consumption on procurement.

1.9 Financial Instruments

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.

1.9.1 Financial assets

(a) Initial recognition

Financial assets are recognized when the
Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments. Financial assets
other than trade receivables are initially
recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for
all financial assets not carried at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair
value, and transaction costs are expensed in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial assets depends on
their classification, as described below:

Measured at amortized cost:

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost, if
both the following conditions are met:

i) the asset is held within a business model
whose objective if of holding the assets to
collect contractual cash flows and

ii) The contractual cash flows are solely
payments of principal and interest on the
principal outstanding.

Amortized cost is calculated using the effective
interest rate (“EIR”) method by taking into account
any discount or premium on acquisition and fees
or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR

amortization is included in interest income in the
Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising
from impairment are recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, gain or loss,
if any, is recognized to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income:

A financial asset is measured at FVOCI, if both the
following conditions are met:

i) The asset is held with an objective to collect
contractual cash flows and selling such
financial asset and

ii) The contractual cash flows are solely
payments of principal and interest on the
principal outstanding.

It is subsequently measured at fair value with fair
value movements recognized in the OCI, except
for interest income which recognized using EIR
method. The losses arising from impairment are
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On
de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in the OCI is reclassified from the
equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss:

Investment in financial asset other than equity
instrument, not measured at either amortized
cost or FVOCI is measured at FVTPL. Such
financial assets are measured at fair value with all
changes in fair value, including interest income
and dividend income if any, recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.9.2 Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognized
at fair value net of transaction costs for all financial
liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and
other payables, loans and borrowings including bank
overdrafts and derivative instruments.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are
subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial
liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are
measured at fair value with all changes in fair value
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Guarantee Contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company
are those contracts that requires a payment to be made
or to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because
the specified debtors fails to make payment when
due in accordance with the term of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are recognized 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
recognized less cumulative adjustments.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments,
such as forward foreign exchange contracts, to hedge
its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial
instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the
date on which a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently measured at fair value, with changes
in fair value recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.10 Income Taxes

The tax expense for the period comprises current
tax expense and the net changes in the deferred tax
asset or liability during the year. Tax is recognized in
Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that
it relates to items recognized in the comprehensive
income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also
recognized in other comprehensive income or equity

i. Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are
measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities,
Current income tax (including Minimum Alternate
Tax (MAT)) is measured at the amount expected to
be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with
the Income-Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax
rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date.

ii. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet
approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for deductible and taxable temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements
and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit.

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 realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period. The carrying
amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets are
reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

1.11 Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments, such as,
derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or settle a liability in an ordinary 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
settle a 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
when 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 minimizing the
use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
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 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices

in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.

• Level 2 — other techniques for which all
input which have a significant effect on the
recorded fair value are observable, either
directly or indirectly.

• Level 3 — Inputs which are not based on
observable market data.

1.12Employee Benefit:

The Company has provides following post-employment

plans:

(a) Defined benefit plans such a gratuity and

(b) Defined contribution plans such as Provident fund
& ESIC

a) Defined-benefit plan:

The liability or asset recognized in the balance
sheet in respect of defined benefit plan is the
present value of defined benefit obligations at
the end of the reporting period less fair value of
plan assets. The defined benefit obligations are
calculated annually by actuaries through actuarial
valuation using the projected unit credit method.

The Company recognizes the following changes in
the net defined benefit obligation as an expense
in the statement of profit and loss:

(a) Service costs comprising current service
costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on
curtailment and non-routine settlements; and

(b) Net interest expense or income

The net interest cost is calculated by
applying the discount rate to the net balance
of the defined benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets. This cost is included in
employee benefit expenses in the statement
of the profit & loss.

Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains
and losses arising from

(a) Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses

(b) Return on plan assets, excluding amount
recognized in effect of asset ceiling

(c) Re-measurement arising because of change
in effect of asset ceiling are recognized in the
period in which they occur directly in Other
comprehensive income. Re-measurement is
not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent
periods.

Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in
relation to various assumptions including future pay
rises, inflation and discount rates and employee
and pensioner demographics. The Company
determines the assumptions in conjunction with
its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to
be in line with best practice, but the application of
different assumptions could have a significant effect
on the amounts reflected in the income statement,
other comprehensive income and balance sheet.
There may be also interdependency between
some of the assumptions.

b) Defined-contribution plan:

Under defined contribution plans, provident
fund, the Company pays pre-defined amounts to
separate funds and does not have any legal or
informal obligation to pay additional sums. Defined
Contribution plan comprise of contributions to the
employees'' provident fund with the government,
superannuation fund and certain state plans like
Employees'' State Insurance and Employees''
Pension Scheme. The Company''s payments to
the defined contribution plans are recognised as
expenses during the period in which the employees
perform the services that the payment covers.

c) Other employee benefits:

(a) Compensated absences which are not
expected to occur within twelve months
after the end of the period in which the
employee renders the related services are
recognized as a liability at the present value
of the obligation as at the Balance sheet date
determined based on an actuarial valuation.

(b) Undiscounted amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange
for the services rendered by employees
are recognized during the period when the
employee renders the related services.

1.13Leases

The Company assesses whether a contract contains
a lease, at the inception of the contract. A contract is,
or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether

a contract convey the right to control the use of an
identified asset, the Company assesses whether

(i) the contract involves the use of identified asset

(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic
benefits from the use of the asset through the
period of lease and

(iii) the Company has right to direct the use of the
asset.

1.14Foreign Currency Transactions

The financial statements are presented in Indian
Rupee (''), which is entity''s functional and presentation
currency.

a) Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are transacted into
the functional currency, for initial recognition, using
the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions.

b) Measurement of Foreign Currency Items at the
Balance Sheet Date

All foreign currency denominated monetary assets
and liabilities are transacted at the exchange
rates on the reporting date. Exchange differences
arising on settlement or translated of monetary
items are recognized in Statement of Profit and
Loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in
terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
not retranslated.

1.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the company reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. 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 individual asset/cash generating unit is made.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable amount. Losses are recognized in profit or loss. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

1.9 Financial Instruments

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.

1.9.1 Financial assets

(a) Initial recognition

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets other than trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial assets depends on their classification, as described below:

Measured at amortized cost:

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost, if both the following conditions are met:

i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective if of holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows and

ii) The contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

Amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in interest income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, gain or loss, if any, is recognized to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

A financial asset is measured at FVOCI, if both the following conditions are met:

i) The asset is held with an objective to collect contractual cash flows and selling such financial asset and

ii) The contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

I t is subsequently measured at fair value with fair value movements recognized in the OCI, except for interest income which recognized using EIR method. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the OCI is reclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss:

Investment in financial asset other than equity instrument, not measured at either amortized cost or FVOCI is measured at FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.9.2 Financial Liabilities Initial Recognition

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs for all financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and derivative instruments.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Guarantee Contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that requires a payment to be made or to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

110 Income Taxes

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax expense and the net changes in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Tax is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in the comprehensive income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity

i. Current Tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, Current income tax (including Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)) is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

ii. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of

assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

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 realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

1.11 Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or settle a liability in an ordinary 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 settle a liability takes place either:

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

• I n 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 when 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 minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized 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 — Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The defined benefit obligations are calculated annually by actuaries through actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

(a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements; and

(b) Net interest expense or income

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of the profit & loss.

Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from

(a) Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses

(b) Return on plan assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling

(c) Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling are recognized in the period in which they occur directly in Other comprehensive income. Re-measurement is not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

I nd AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates and employee and pensioner demographics. The Company

determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency between some of the assumptions.

b) Defined-contribution plan:

Under defined contribution plans, provident fund, the Company pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any legal or informal obligation to pay additional sums.

(a) Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the obligation as at the Balance sheet date determined based on an actuarial valuation.

(b) Undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognized during the period when the employee renders the related services.

113 Leases

1.18 Earnings per Share

Basic EPS is arrived at based on total comprehensive income available to equity shareholders to the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of potential dilutive equity shares unless impact is anti-dilutive.

Since Investing into marketable securities is one of the major business activity of the company, the EPS & Diluted EPS disclosed on the financial statements is after considering the other comprehensive income to disclose true & fair view of the financial statements. This approach has been historically adopted by the company.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Notified accounting standard by Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis and all the assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis of Valuation Report of an Approved Valuer at Net Realisable Value. The Company may not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business due to complete closure of manufacturing operations and inability to generate funds. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and except for the changes in accounting policy discussed more fully below, are consistent with those used in the previous year.

1.2 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 during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

1.3 Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, on the basis of the valuation report issued by the approved valuer.

1.4 Depreciation / amortization

No depreciation has been provided for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Depreciation on Land and site development represents expenses and premium on factory lease hold land which is amortized over the period of lease.

1.5 Capital Work in progress

Capital work in progress is stated at the cost less impairment losses as certified by approved valuer.

1.6 Impairment

The Company is no longer a Going Concern. Consequently, a valuation report is obtained from the Approved valuer certifying Net Realizable Value of various assets. Based on this valuation report, the assets are carried in the Balance Sheet at their Net Realisable Value. The difference between the book value of assets and Net Realisable Value is treated as Impairment loss in the books of accounts & written off during the year.

1.7 Inventories

Inventories are valued as follows:

Raw and packing materials, Lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).

consumables, Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

Stores, spares & consumables Net Realisable Value based on the Approved Valuers report.

The difference between book value & net realizable value is treated as written off during the year.

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.8 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.

Sale of Goods

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. It generally coincides with the dispatch of goods from the factory. Excise duty and Value added tax (VAT) deducted from turnover (gross) is the amount that is included in the amount of turnover (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Interest

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

1.9 Tax expense

Tax expense comprises of current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe benefit tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act. 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. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

1.10 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 numbers of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for events of share split.

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.

1.11 Government grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate. Where the grant or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the related asset.

1.12 Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; 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.

1.13 Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

2. Inventory of Raw Material, Packing material and Stores & Spares

The inventory has been valued at Net Realisable Value as per the Valuation Report of the Approved Valuer. Loss on account of valuation is recognised in the Profit & Loss Account through Decrease in inventories.

3. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

Consequent to full and final settlement of all the employees dues during the year 2008-09, there are no more employees with the company, hence, no employees benefits are payable during the year.

In view of the accumulated losses and discontinuation of operations, neither Deferred Tax Assets on carry forward loss and unabsorbed depreciation has been recognized, nor any deferred tax liability, as there is no virtual certainty that there would be future taxable profits to realize the above assets. Further, the Company does not have the requisite information to quantify the same.
