(f) Provisions (other than employee benefits), Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present legal 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 reliable estimate can be made. Provisions 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.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements. A contingent asset is not recognised; disclose when inflow is probable; recognise only when virtually certain.
(g) Revenue Recognition 1. Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, volume rebates and taxes or duties collected on behalf of the Government.
Where the inflow of consideration is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the fair value of consideration is determined by discounting the future receipts using an imputed rate of interest, where the effect of such discounting is material. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount of consideration is recognised as interest income over the credit period.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
a. the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
b. the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
c. the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
d. it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
e. the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
In case of sale of Chemical and Nutrition products, transfer of significant risks and rewards generally occurs in accordance with the agreed terms of sale, usually when the products are delivered to and accepted at the customer's premises or warehouse. The Company recognises revenue at such point in time, provided collectability is reasonably assured and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration or possible return of goods.
Trade discounts, volume rebates, price concessions and returns, if any, are estimated at the time of sale and reduced from revenue. Generally, the Company's products do not carry a right of return, except where specifically agreed under the terms of contract or required under applicable law.
2. Rendering of services:
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date, provided that the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably.
The outcome of a service transaction is considered to be estimated reliably when:
a. the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
b. it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company;
c. the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date can be measured reliably; and
d. the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
The stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed, surveys of work performed, proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs, or such other method that reliably measures the services rendered, depending upon the nature of the service arrangement.
Where the outcome of a service transaction cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of expenses recognised that are recoverable. Where it is not probable that the costs incurred will be recovered, revenue is not recognised and the costs are recognised as an expense.
(h) Recognition of dividend income, interest income
Dividend on Financial Instruments is recognized when right to receive is established, economic benefits are probable and amount can be measured. Interest is recognized on accrual basis.
(i) Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or to an item recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
1. Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
2. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognized in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Therefore, in case of a history of recent losses, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realized. Deferred tax assets - unrecognized or recognized, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the way the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on net basis or their tax assists and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and cheques in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value where original maturity is three months or less.
(k) Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost are interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized as part of cost of asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(l) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit after tax for the year attributable to Equity Shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of Equity Shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per Share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to equity Shareholders (after adjustment for diluted earnings) by average number of weighted equity shares outstanding during the year plus potential equity shares.
(m) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method whereby the profit before tax is adjusted for the effect of the transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past and future operating cash receipts or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated.
(n) Commitments and contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company faces claims and assertions by various parties. The Company assesses such claims and assertions and monitors the legal environment on an ongoing basis, with the assistance of external legal counsel, wherever necessary. The Company records a liability for any claims where a potential loss is probable and capable of being estimated and discloses such matters in its financial statements, if material. For potential losses that are considered possible, but not probable, the Company provides disclosure in the financial statements but does not record a liability in its accounts unless the loss becomes probable.
The following is a description of claims and assertions where a potential loss is possible, but not probable. The Companybelieves that none of the contingencies described below would have a material adverse effect on the Company'sfinancial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
