The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the
financial statements. Management believes that the estimates made in
the preparation of financial statement are prudent and reasonable. The
key estimates made by the Company in preparing these financial
statements comprise provision for expenses, retirement benefits,
provision for doubtful debts and income taxes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Any revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which such revisions are made.
3. Significant accounting policies
3.1. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment loss, if any. The cost includes purchase cost and all
incidental expenses to bring the assets to their present location and
condition.
Depreciation on fixed assets other than film productions and film
distribution rights is provided on straight line method at the rates
and in the manner specified under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act,
1956.
Depreciation on fixed assets added/disposed off/discarded during the
year has been provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of
addition/disposal/discarding.
Fixed assets having value lower than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated fully in
the year of purchase.
3.2. Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets comprising motion pictures produced and motion
picture rights which have been acquired and are controlled through
custody or legal rights are capitalised at cost, where they can be
reliably measured.
Where capitalised, intangible assets are regarded as having a limited
useful economic life and the cost is amortised over the lower of
economic useful life and period of the legal rights.
Where an assignment of rights is for a fixed fee or non refundable
guaranteed fee under a non cancellable contract which permits the
licensee to exploit those rights freely and the Company has no
remaining obligation to perform, the cost capitalised is fully
amortised in the year of sale of such rights.
At the expiry of the term of the distribution rights in motion pictures
the intangible asset related to the particular agreement is
derecognised.
3.3. Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to production of movies, and the
acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their
intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such
time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or
sale.
3.4. Impairment of Assets
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 asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of
assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss if any is
charged to Profit and Loss Account in the year in which an asset is
identified as impaired. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in
prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment
losses recognised for the assets no longer exist or have decreases.
3.5. Revenues
a) Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably
measured.
b) In case of distribution rights of films:
a) produced or rights acquired, revenue is recognised on accrual basis
on receipt of business statements from theatres / sub distributors,
etc.
b) in case of sale of such distribution rights of films, revenue is

c) In respect of films produced by the Company and distributed by
others, overflow of excess collection over minimum guarantee, net of
eligible expenses is recognised on intimation by distributor.
d) Revenue from sale of:
a) films satellite rights and video rights are recognised when it
arise, based on payment/delivery/telecast milestones specified in the
agreements/ arrangements entered with concerned parties.
b) other rights of films such as music rights and ring tone rights are
