3.19 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognised when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that the company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made out of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
Contingent assets are disclosed in the financial statements by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements by way of notes to accounts, unless possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.
3.20 Non-Current assets held for sale
Non-current assets (including disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised from the date when they are classified as held for sale. While designating the non-current assets as held for sale, the liabilities (if any) directly associated with these assets are identified and classified separately under "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale”.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as
held for sale are presented separately from the other assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed off or is classified as held for sale and:
• represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and;
• is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.21 Operating Segment
Operating segments reflect the company's management structure and the way the financial information is regularly reviewed by the company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM considers the business from both business and product perspective based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure.
Ind AS 108 operating segment requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resource. The standard also requires Management to make judgments with respect to recognition of segments. Accordingly, the company recognizes Generation of Power through Renewable Sources as its sole segment.
3.22 Operating Cycle for current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in notes to these financial statements. Based on the nature of products and services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
4. Critical accounting assumptions
The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Financial Statements pertain to:
4.1 Useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets
The company has estimated useful life of each class of assets based on the nature of assets, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating condition of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, etc. The Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided pro-rata for the periods of use on the Straight Line Method (SLM) on the basis of useful life of the property, plant and equipment mandated by Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 or the useful life determined by the company based on technical evaluation, whichever is lower, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, maintenance support, as per details given below:
4.2 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
At each Balance Sheet date, consideration is given to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the company's assets. If any indication exists, estimation is made for the asset's recoverable amount, which is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss, if any, is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount.
I mpairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, if any, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
4.3 Application of interpretation for Service Concession Arrangements (SCA)
Management has assessed applicability of Appendix A of Indian Accounting Standards 11. Service Concession Arrangements for the power purchase agreement which the company has entered into. In assessing the
applicability of SCA, the management has exercised significant judgement in relation to the underlying ownership of the assets, the attached risks and rewards of ownership, residual interest and the fact that secondary lease periods are not at nominal lease rentals etc. in concluding that the arrangements don't meet the criteria for recognition as service concession arrangements.
4.4 Determining whether an arrangement contain leases and classification of leases
The company enters into service / hiring arrangements for various assets / services. The determination of lease and classification of the service / hiring arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transfer of ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee's option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportion of lease term to the asset's economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased
asset and extent of specialized nature of the leased asset.
4.5 Employee Benefits - 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, medical cost trends, 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.
4.6 Events after the reporting period
Adjusting events are events that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements are adjusted for such events before authorization for issue.
Non-adjusting events are events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period. Non-adjusting events after the reporting date are not accounted, but disclosed if material.
