54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

DIVIDEND

The Board has recommended a dividend of 12% or Rs.1.20 per

Equity share of Rs.10/- each for the year ended March 31, 2014.

The Board has further proposed a transfer of Rs.15.00 Lac to

“General Reserve”.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

Despite continued slowdown and subdued business confidence,

your Company’s Total Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014

grew by 25 % from Rs. 21155.50 Lac in previous year to

Rs. 26404.98 Lac. However continuing impact of higher inflation,

higher interest costs, rising input costs, and sudden depreciation

of INR versus USD during the year had an adverse impact on

operating margins. Operating Profit was marginally higher at

Rs. 1501.61 Lac as against Rs. 1407.50 Lac in previous year. Profit

before Tax was lower at Rs. 677.40 Lac as against

Rs. 832.33 in previous year. Profit earned in 2012-13 was higher

mainly due to onetime write back of provision made towards

payment of interest against loan taken for purchase of shares in

the joint venture of the Company, M/s. Transafe Services Limited

(“TSL”) amounting to Rs. 294.50 Lac.

STEEL DRUM CLOSURE DIVISION-Mumbai

The domestic demand continued to be robust. Improvement in

exports helped the Company to sustain operations at higher level.

Stable steel prices and depreciation of Rupee versus USD helped

to post higher sales and improved margins. The Division achieved

increased sales of Rs. 7656.48 Lac and Profit before Tax of Rs.

355.00 Lac as against Rs. 6744.82 Lac and Rs. 188.58 Lac

respectively in the previous year.

PLASTIC CONTAINER DIVISION-Mumbai

With the commencement of production of Large Blow Moulded

drums at Dehradun, some of the north based Customers earlier

serviced by Mumbai Plant were shifted to Dehradun. However local

demand remained buoyant and capacity vacated due to shifting

was fully absorbed. Sales revenue of Plastic Container Division,

Mumbai grew from Rs. 11038.52 Lac to Rs. 14057.76 Lac during

current year.

Constant increase in polymer prices, unfavorable exchange rates

and increase in power cost, had severe negative impact on the

margins. The Division suffered an exchange loss of Rs. 278.13 Lac

during the year and posted a marginal loss of Rs. 35.99 Lac as

against the profit before tax of Rs. 225.10 Lac in the previous

year.

Balmer Lawrie-Van Leer LimitedPLASTIC CONTAINER DIVISION-Chennai

Power issue continue to affect normal production and consequent

use of D.G. set for production to keep the operations going impacted

the operational costs. Severe Competition and shrinkage of demand

lead to lower value addition. This together with sharp Rupee

depreciation against USD had an adverse impact on margins and

financial performance of the Division. The Division suffered a loss

of Rs. 28.54 Lac on account of exchange. The Company has plans

to turnaround the performance of the Division by improving

productivity, change in marketing strategy and conversion of more

customers to V200 drums.

While Sales during the current year increased from Rs.2235.86

Lac to Rs. 2618.76 Lac, the Division suffered a loss of Rs. 163.93

Lac as against loss of Rs. 159.89 Lac incurred in the previous

year.

PLASTIC CONTAINER DIVISION-Dehradun

This Division performed better both in terms of productivity and

sales. During the year 2013-14 the Division commenced commercial

production of Large Blow Moulded drums and has received a good

response from the market. Sales Income of this Division grew from

Rs. 1136.30 Lac to Rs. 2071.98 Lac and the Division made a profit

before tax of Rs. 90.95 Lac as against Rs. 53.69 Lac earned in

the previous year.

CLARIFICATION ON QUALIFICATION IN AUDIT REPORT

The statutory auditors M/s. Walker Chandiok & Co. LLP has

qualified their report on Company’s Accounts for non-provisioning

of interest expenses amounting to Rs. 163.61 Lac on a loan from

M/s. Balmer Lawrie & Co. Limited (BL) in accordance with terms

of such loan agreement. According to Statutory auditors there is

overstatement of profit to the extent of Rs. 163.61 Lac.

The statutory auditors M/s. Walker Chandiok & Co. LLP has further

qualified their report on Company’s Accounts for non-provisioning

for diminution in value of investment amounting to Rs. 1817.92 Lac

in Equity shares of Transafe Service Limited (TSL) despite complete

erosion of net worth of Transafe Services Limited as per their

audited accounts as at 31st March, 2013 and 31st March, 2014.

The Company had made a strategic investment by acquiring

11,361,999 Equity Shares of TSL in 2009 by availing 100% loan

from BL. Subsequent to this investment, TSL has continuously

reported losses. Consequent to losses and erosion of net worth,

the value of the investment held by the Company has also reduced.

However the Company is of the view that the Company’s financial

interests are protected even in the unlikely event of net worth of

TSL being not restored as clause 1.3 of the Loan Agreement dated

July 31, 2009 executed between Company as “Borrower” and BL

as “Lenders” confirms that erosion in value of investment will have

no financial impact on the Company.

A legal opinion was sought and the Company was advised that as

per the clause 1.3 of the Loan Agreement the loan availed by the

Company from BL is a non recourse loan and therefore there will

be no loan repayment liability on the Company after the expiry of

period of 60 months as per the terms of loan agreement.

The Company had made a provision for interest amounting to

Rs. 294.50 Lac on the said loan for the period from 1st April, 2010

to 31st March, 2012.

During 2012-13 the Company after written communication to BL

wrote back Rs. 294.50 Lac being interest accrued and due but not

paid pertaining to period 2010-11 and 2011-12 and has also stopped

accruing any further interest on this loan. BL as lender has not

raised any claim for interest so far.

Since the loan is a non recourse, the Company is neither liable for

re-payment of loan/interest nor provide for diminution in value of

investment. Both Investment in shares and Loan liability should get

offset at the end of loan period.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

During the current year the Company acquired the remaining 1078

Equity shares of Rs. 1000/- each in Proseal Closures Limited from

original promoters for a total consideration of Rs. 2200.00 Lac

based on business valuation by an independent valuation agency.

The entire investment was financed through share application

money received from promoters pursuant to preferential allotment

of shares. After this acquisition Proseal Closures Limited has

become 100% subsidiary of your Company with effect from 23rd

January, 2014. The Audited Annual Accounts for the year ended

on 31st March, 2014 together with Auditors’ and Directors’ Reports

of the Company’s subsidiary, M/s. Proseal Closures Ltd., are

attached herewith. The subsidiary company has reported Total

Income of Rs. 8139.28 Lac as against Rs. 6436.53 Lac in previous

year and a Profit before tax of Rs. 1220.75 Lac as against Rs.

705.28 Lac in the previous year.

Since the Equity shares of the Company are not listed on any

of the stock exchanges in India as on 31st March, 2014 the

Accounting Standard-21 of the Institute of Chartered

Accountants of India is not applicable and the Consolidated

Financial Statements are not attached herewith.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Company operates in two main segments viz., Steel Drum

Closures and Plastic Containers.

Steel Drum Closures:

Market for Steel Drum Closures is primarily dependent on demand

and growth rate of Steel Drum Manufacturer which is steadily

Page 7: 54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014 Report-2013-14.pdf · 13. Pursuant to the Provisions of Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management & Administration)

6

54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014growing in alignment with growth in the economy. Despite overall

economic slow-down inflationary pressures, and subdued exports,

the performance of Steel drum segment has remained robust.

The FOB value of exports was Rs. 4388.68 Lac as against

Rs. 4222.94 Lac.

Plastic Containers/Drums:

Indian packaging industry and Plastic Container industry in particular

has displayed a reasonable growth rate over the last few years.

Plastic Containers as an alternative to Steel Drums by virtue of

cost differential continue to enjoy preference and have wider

application base both for consumer and industrial applications.

Your Company’s products are well accepted in the market and

Company continue to be preferred supplier to most of the large

corporate engaged in Lube & Oil, Organic and Inorganic Chemicals,

Printing Inks, Construction Chemicals, Leather Chemicals, Spice

Oil and Food and Beverages. During the year the Company

achieved highest ever production and sales of large sized drums

at Mumbai.

Your Company has also initiated an action to get its manufacturing

facility at all locations compliant with Global GFSI Standard to meet

the specific requirement of Food and Beverage segment.

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS AND

CONCERNS:

The phase of uncertainty in economy, lack of business confidence,

high inflation, increase in government spending and borrowings,

high fiscal deficits and rising fuel prices is showing the sign of

cooling down. In recent time developed economy like US and some

countries of Europe have started showing sign of positive growth.

Indian economy during last two year suffered due to rise in fiscal

deficit, widening of gap in balance of trade causing sharp depreciation

of rupee vs. USD and high commodity prices. This impacted

domestic industries earnings badly. However Export oriented

industries could post impressive performance due to wild fluctuations

in exchange rate.

OPPORTUNITIES

“Trisure” make Steel Drum Closures is a brand recognised world

over. Many of the large users of steel drums in India categorically

specify the use of “Trisure” Closures as pre-condition for all drums

procured by them. The Company expects to retain the dominant

position in the domestic market and continue to reap benefits of

organic and expansionary growth of these sectors and Customers.

The Company’s “Valerex’” brand drums with its aesthetic appearance

and the best possible strength to weight ratio continue to be

preferred as premium packaging in various segments like Lubricants,

Food, Construction and other Speciality Chemicals.

BUSINESS THREAT

Reduction in exports can pose a serious challenge to sustainability

of Steel Drum Closures business due to under utilization of

capacities.

With rising polymer prices the cost differential between steel drums

and plastic drums has narrowed and some of the customers may

shift to steel drums if the trend continues.

The proliferate growth in the number of competitors especially in

large sized Blow moulded drums is a threat to value addition which

can only be compensated by higher volumes, improved efficiency

and better customer service.

RISKS & CONCERNS

Your Company recognizes that risk is inevitable and is an integral

part of any business. In today’s dynamic market conditions the

business complexity has been multifold. It is therefore imminent to

identify, review and take corrective remedial action on time. The

Impact can be minimized if at least not eliminated. Company has

identified and classified the business risks as Business cyclical

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of

Balmer Lawrie-Van Leer Limited, (the “Company”), which

comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2014, and the

Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the

statements, that give a true and fair view of the financial

position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company

in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted

in India, including the Accounting Standards notified under the

Companies Act, 1956 (the “Act”) read with the General Circular

15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate

Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

This responsibility includes the design, implementation and

maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and

presentation of the financial statements that give a true and

fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial

statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in

accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the

Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards

require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether

the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

4. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial

statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’

judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud

or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation

and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to

design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

opinion on the effectiveness of Company’s internal control. An

audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting

policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the

overall presentation of the financial statements.

sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.

Balmer Lawrie-Van Leer LimitedSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER EXPLANATORY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDEDMARCH 31, 2014.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Indiaunder the historical cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been prepared to comply in all materialaspects with the accounting standards notified under Section 211(3C) and the other relevant provisions of the Companies Act,1956, of India (the “Act”). All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s operatingcycle and other criteria set out in the Revised Schedule VI to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time betweenthe acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained itsoperating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current – non current classification of assets and liabilities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that the management of the Company make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, the reported balances of assets andliabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Examples of such estimatesinclude the useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets, provision for doubtful debts/advances, future obligations in respectof retirement benefit plans, provision for inventory obsolescence, etc. Difference, if any, between the actual results and estimatesis recognised in the period in which the results are known.

1.2 Fixed Assets (including Capital Work-in-Progress)

(a) Tangible assets

Tangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition inclusive of all attributable cost of bringing the same to their workingcondition, net of cenvat credit, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of tangible asset are added to its book value only if they increase the futurebenefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Items of tangible assets that have been retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of theirnet book value and net realisable value and are shown separately in the financial statements. Any expected loss isrecognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of tangible assets which are carried atcost are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company provides pro-rata depreciation on additions and disposals made during the year. Tangible Assets aredepreciated in accordance with rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Act, based on straight-line method. In the caseof tangible assets where the technological progress and upgradation is faster, the Company has provided accelerateddepreciation at rates higher than the rates specified in schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. Accordingly, the usefullife of such assets has been recomputed and depreciation has been provided including the following:

— Leasehold land is being amortised over the period of lease;

— Enabling Assets are being amortised over a period of five years; and

— Second hand Plant and Equipment at Dehradun Plant is being depreciated over a period of fifteen years based on theuseful life estimated by a Chartered Engineer.

Depreciation in respect of Valerex division is in accordance with Schedule XIV of the Act, based on rates applicable forcontinuous process plant as per the legal opinion obtained by the Company.

Assets individually costing Rs. 5,000 or less are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition.

(b) Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of cenvat credit, accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairmentlosses, if any. Intangible assets i.e. Computer Softwares are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated usefullife of four years. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an intangible asset are determined as thedifference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognised as income or expensein the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(c) Capital Work-in-Progress

Assets acquired but not ready for use are classified under Capital work-in-progress.

1.3 Borrowing Costs

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of qualifying assets, which are assetsthat 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 as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as anexpenses in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014

1.4 Impairment

Assessment is done at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible)may be impaired. For the purpose of assessing impairment, the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflowsfrom continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets, is considered asa cash generating unit. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset/cash generating unitis made. Assets whose carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount are written down to their recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is thepresent value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at theend of its useful life. A previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances.However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by chargingusual depreciation if there was no impairment.

1.5 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date, on which suchinvestments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments.Current investments are carried at cost or fair value, whichever is lower. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However,provision for diminution is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reductionbeing determined and made for each investment individually.

1.6 Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials, stores, spares and packing materials isdetermined at weighted average cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. The cost of finished goods and work in progresscomprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realisable value is the estimatedselling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary tomake the sale.

1.7 Foreign Currency Translations

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of such transactions. Monetary assetsand liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the Balance Sheet.Gains and losses arising on account of differences in foreign exchange rates on settlement/ translation of monetary assets andliabilities are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost.

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge an existing asset/ liability,is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract are recognised inthe Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

NOTE 39:

The Company had purchased 11,361,999 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each of Transafe Services Limited (“TSL”), an unlisted Company,from ICICI Venture Funds Management Company Limited @ Rs. 16 per share during the year ended March 31, 2010 at the totalconsideration of Rs. 181,791,984. The investment was made by availing a 100% loan from Balmer Lawrie and Company Limited (“BL”)under the loan agreement with BL dated July 31, 2009. As per the said loan agreement, the Company is liable to pay interest on theoutstanding principal amount @ 9% per annum or the prevailing bank rate, whichever is higher, annually by September 30 each year.

Post investment, TSL has reported losses during financial years ended March 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, March 31,2013 and March 31, 2014. Consequent to the losses and erosion in the net worth, the fair value of investment held by the Companyhas come down. The Company has made no provision in the accounts for such notional diminution in the value of the investment byvirtue of the provision in clause 1.3 of the aforesaid loan agreement executed with BL.

Page 40: 54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014 Report-2013-14.pdf · 13. Pursuant to the Provisions of Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management & Administration)

39

Balmer Lawrie-Van Leer Limited

As per a legal opinion from a reputed firm of Solicitors and Advocates on the above mentioned clause 1.3 of the loan agreement, theloan is a non recourse loan and the loan amount is secured by pledge of all the TSL shares in favour of BL. This clause providesthat in case the Company defaults in repayment of the outstanding loan amount at the end of 60 months, BL’s recovery will be limitedto the collateral of the said TSL shares. On transfer of such shares, neither the Company nor BL shall have any further claims onthe other. Investment in TSL will therefore get neutralised against the loan taken from BL having no impact on the profit of the Company.

In the event the Company desires to sell all or part of the TSL shares within the period of 60 months, the same can be done by obtainingprior approval from BL and there shall be an obligation on the Company to repay the loan to BL from the proceeds of such sale ofTSL shares and also execute a satisfactory interim security as mutually agreed. Also, in the event of termination of the agreement,the Company shall be liable to repay the entire loan amount along with the interest due thereon to BL.

During the previous year, the Company had expressed its inability to BL to pay accrued interest amounting to Rs. 29,450,302 (netof TDS) for the financial years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012. As the Company had never earned any income from thisinvestment and the interest expense being disallowed under the Income tax Act, 1961, the Company has stopped accruing any furtherinterest. Accordingly, during the financial year ended March 31, 2013, the Company had written back the interest accrued and payableamounting to Rs. 29,450,302 and has not accrued the interest expense of Rs. 16,361,279 for the financial year ended March 31, 2013.During the current year also, Company has not accrued interest expense of Rs. 16,361,279 for the financial year ended March 31,2014 based on the written communication to BL.

NOTE 40:

Based on the tax consultant’s opinion/ advice obtained by the Company, the Management is of the opinion that there may not be anytax liability on account of transfer pricing of its transactions with associated enterprises referred to in Section 92 to 92 F of the Income-tax Act, 1961, of India.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 211(3C)of the Companies Act, 1956 which continue tobe applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been preparedon accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statementsare consistent with those followed in the previous year.

2.2: Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptionsconsidered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses duringthe year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Futureresults could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periodsin which the results are known/materialise.

2.3: Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescenceand other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroiand other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion ofoverheads and, where applicable, excise duty.

2.4: Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effectsof transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows fromoperating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

2.6: Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956,based on the technical estimates that indicate the useful lives of the assets that would be comparable with or higher than those arrivedat using the rates prescribed in the schedule above.

Annual Report 2013 - 2014

2.7: Revenue recognition

Sale of goods

Revenue from export sales is recognised on the basis of the shipping bills for exports. Revenue from domestic sales is recognised

based on the passage of title to goods which generally coincides with dispatch. Sales include excise duty and are stated net of discounts,

other taxes, and sales returns.

Export incentives are accrued for based on fulfillment of eligibility criteria for availing the incentives and when there is no uncertainty

in receiving the same. These incentives benefits under Duty Entitlement Pass Book and Duty Drawback Schemes.

2.8: Other income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

2.9: Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes interest

on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use and other incidental

expenses incurred up to that date that are attributable to the asset purchased. Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is

capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard

of performance.

Fixed assets acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the project cost till

commissioning of the project.

Capital work-in-progress:

Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising

direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.

2.10: Foreign currency transactions and translations

Initial recognition

Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company and its integral foreign operations are accounted at the exchange rates

prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.

Measurement of foreign currency monetary items at the Balance Sheet date

Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of the Company outstanding at the Balance Sheet date are restated

at the year-end rates.

Treatment of exchange differences

Exchange differences arising on settlement/restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company

are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Accounting of forward contracts

Premium/discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, are amortised over the

period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date. Refer Notes 2.19 for accounting for

forward exchange contracts relating to firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions.

2.11: Employee benefits

Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity fund and compensated

absences .

57

Proseal Closures LimitedNOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Defined benefit plans

For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit method,

with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of

Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already

vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement

benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for

unrecognised past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited

to past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.

Short-term employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees

are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include performance incentive and compensated

absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related

service. The cost of such compensated absences is accounted as under :

(a) in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase their entitlement of future

compensated absences; and

(b) in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.

Long-term employee benefits

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders

the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation as at the Balance Sheet date less

the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are expected to be settled.

2.12: Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign currency

borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to

the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure

of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities

relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the

assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when

active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

2.13: Segment reporting

The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation

and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which

operating profit/loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in deciding how to allocate resources and in

assessing performance.

The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue,

segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the

operating activities of the segment.

Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable

basis have been included under “unallocated revenue/expenses/assets/liabilities”.

2.14: Leases

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised

as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis.

2.15: Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any)

by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the

Page 59: 54th Annual Report 2013 - 2014 Report-2013-14.pdf · 13. Pursuant to the Provisions of Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 20 of the Companies (Management & Administration)

58

Annual Report 2013 - 2014

profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges

to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for

deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion

of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would

decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as

at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the

proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive

potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive

equity shares are adjusted for share splits/reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.

2.16: Taxes on income

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of theIncome Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income thatoriginate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax ratesand the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences.Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certaintythat there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timingdifferences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available againstwhich these can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the samegoverning tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each BalanceSheet date for their realisability.

Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit andLoss.

2.17: Impairment of assets

The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each Balance Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication ofimpairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of theseassets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Valuein use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When thereis indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased,such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

2.18: Provisions and contingencies

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflowof resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirementbenefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation atthe Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingentliabilities are disclosed in the Notes.

2.19: Derivative contracts

The Company enters into derivative contracts in the nature of forward contracts with an intention to hedge its existing assets andliabilities, firm commitments and highly probable transactions. Derivative contracts which are closely linked to the existing assets andliabilities are accounted as per the policy stated for Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations.

All other derivative contracts are marked-to-market and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains arising onthe same are not recognised, until realised, on grounds of prudence.

2.20: Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation incash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assetsand liabilities as current and non-current.

27.8 The detailed Transfer Pricing regulations (‘regulations’) for computing the income from “domestic transactions” with specifiedparties and international transactions between ‘associated enterprises’ on an ‘arm’s length’ basis is applicable to the Company.These regulations, inter alia, also require the maintenance of prescribed documents and information including furnishing a reportfrom an Accountant which is to be filed with the Income tax authorities.

The Company has undertaken necessary steps to comply with the Transfer Pricing regulations. The Management is of theopinion that the transactions with associated enterprises and domestic transactions are at arm’s length, and hence theaforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and thatof provision for taxation.

27.9 Previous year’s figures have been regrouped/reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current year’s classification/disclosure.
