l. Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent asset
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result
of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate
can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions
are discounted, if the effect of the time value of money
is material, using pre-tax rates that reflects the risks
specific to the liability. When discounting is used, an
increase in the provisions due to the passage of time
is recognised as finance cost. These provisions are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimates.
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. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed separately.
Show cause notices issued by various Government
authorities are considered for evaluation of contingent
liabilities only when converted into demand.
Contingent assets
Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, the
Company discloses a brief description of the nature
of the contingent assets at the end of the reporting
period, and, where practicable, an estimate of their
financial effect. Contingent assets are disclosed but
not recognised in the financial statements.
m. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits
with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances
with original maturity of less than 3 months, highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into
cash, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes
in value.
n. Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are presented using indirect method,
whereby profit / (loss) before tax is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any
deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments.
Bank borrowings are generally considered to be
financing activities. However, where bank overdrafts
which are repayable on demand form an integral part
of an entity's cash management, bank overdrafts are
included as a component of cash and cash equivalents
for the purpose of Cash flow statement.
o. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are computed by
dividing the net profit for the period attributable to
equity shareholders by the weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit after
tax by the weighted average number of equity shares
considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted
average number of equity shares that could have
been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are
deemed converted as of the beginning of the period,
unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity
shares are determined independently for each period
presented. The number of equity shares and potentially
dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares,
as appropriate.
(d) Rights, preferences and restrictions in respect of equity shares issued by the Company
The company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.10 each. The equity shares of the
company having par value of Rs.10 /- rank pari-passu in all respects including voting rights and entitlement to
dividend. The dividend proposed if any, by the Board of Directors, is subject to the approval of the shareholders
in the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of the equity
shares will be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company, after settling the dues of preferential
and other creditors as per priority. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by
the shareholders. During the current and previous year, no dividend has been proposed by the company to
equity shareholders.
35 Financial Instruments
Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going
concern, while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans and long-term
product and other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity.
For the purposes of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and
all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders.
Financial risk management objectives
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed to certain financial risks namely interest risk, credit risk
& liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to achieve better predictability of financial markets and seek to
minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
Interest rate risk management
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result
from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial
risks of changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it borrow funds at fixed
interest rates. The Company actively manages its interest rate exposures through a centralized treasury division
Credit risk management
Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty
does not meet its obligations under a customer
contract or financial instrument, leading to a financial
loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its
operating activities primarily trade receivables and
from its financing/ investing activities
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the
maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure is
the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks,
short term deposits with banks, trade receivables,
margin money and other financial assets excluding
equity investments.
(a) Trade Receivables
The Company has credit evaluation policy for each
customer and, based on the evaluation, credit limit
of each customer is defined. Wherever the Company
assesses the credit risk as high, the exposure is
backed by either bank, guarantee/letter of credit or
security deposits. As per simplified approach, the
Company makes provision of expected credit losses on
trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate
the risk of default in payments and makes appropriate
provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding
is for longer period and involves higher risk.
(b) Investments, Cash and Cash Equivalents and
Bank Deposits
Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits
with the banks/financial institutions is generally low
as the said deposits have been made with the banks/
financial institutions, who have been assigned high
credit rating by international and domestic rating
agencies. Investments of surplus funds are made only
with approved financial institutions/ counterparty.
Offsetting related disclosures
Offsetting of cash and cash equivalents to borrowings
as per the consortium agreement is available only to
the bank in the event of a default. Company does not
have the right to offset in case of the counter party's
bankruptcy, therefore, these disclosures are not
required.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot
meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity
risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity
and ensure that funds are available for use as per
requirements. The Company invests its surplus funds
in such items which carry minimal mark to market
risks. The Company also constantly monitors funding
options available in the debt and capital markets with
a view to maintaining financial flexibility. The Company
manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate
reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing
facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity
profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
