1.10 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. An entity shall not recognize contingent asset unless the recovery is virtually certain.
1.13 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.
1.14 Recognition of income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Dividends are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established.
1.15 Employee benefits
a) Short term employee benefits
Short term employee benefits are recognised as expenditure at the undiscounted value in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.
b) Post employment benefits
i) Defined contribution plan
The Company’s contribution to Provident Fund and Employees State Insurance Scheme is determined based on a fixed percentage of the eligible employees’ salary and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis. The Company has categorised its Provident Fund, labour welfare fund and the Employees State Insurance Scheme as a defined contribution plan since it has no further obligations beyond these contributions.
ii) Defined benefits plan
The Company’s liability towards gratuity, being a defined benefit plan are accounted for on the basis of an independent ‘actuarial valuation based on Projected Unit Credit Method.
Service cost and the net interest cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and are recognised immediately in ‘other comprehensive income’ as income or expense.
iii) Compensated absences
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end. The Company’s liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method)
1.16 Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current tax, deferred tax charge or credit. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liability and assets are recognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted on the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred Tax assets arising from unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such amounts. Other deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization in future. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to reassess their reliability.
1.17 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits with any qualifying financial institution repayable on demand or maturing within three months from the date of acquisition and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
1.18 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calcualted 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. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivatent shares outstanding during the year.
1.19 Significant management judgements in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
1.20 Impairment of non-financial assets
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
1.21 Depreciation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
1.22 Recoverability of trade receivable
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
1.23 Provisions
Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Since the cash outflows can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
1.24 Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
1.25 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available) and non-financial assets. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not always available. In that case management uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.
1.26 Material uncertainty about going concern:
In preparing financial statements, management has made an assessment of Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Valuation process
The Company evaluates the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities on periodic basis using the best and most relevant data available.
18. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of the significant portion of these financial liabilities is to finance the dues towards arrears of electricity charges, demurrage charges and other routine expenditure of the Company. The Company’s principal financial assets include security deposits, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
The Company is exposed to market risk and liquidity risk. Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. It is Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The Board of Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
a) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair value or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of change in the interest rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Interest rate sensitivity
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company does not have significant exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates as Company’s long-term debt obligations is at fixed interest rates.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities - borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk management
Company’s treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.
c) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and bank balances, current and non-current financial assets, trade receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost.
Credit risk management
To manage credit risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of other counterparties, taking into account the financial condition and current economic trends. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
Bank balances are held with only high rated banks. However, the balances held with banks are not material.
Capital management
Risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
#Borrowings for the above purpose includes non-current borrowings, current borrowings, current maturities of non current borrowings and Interest accrued but not due on borrowings.
20 Earnings per share (EPS)
The amount considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share constitutes the net profit after tax and includes post tax effect of any exceptional items. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential shares.
24 The figures of the previous year have been reworked, regrouped, rearranged and reclassified, wherever necessary to conform to the current year presentation.
