O. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Basis of accounting

The Company maintains its accounts on accrual basis following the historical cost convention in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (’GAAP’) and in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the Accounting Standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 notified by the Central Government. Further, the guidance notes/ announcements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India are also considered, wherever applicable.

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

2. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised based on the nature of activity when consideration can be reasonably measured and there exists reasonable

certainty of its recovery.

a. Sales include excise duty and adjustments made towards discount, if any, given to customers.

b. Revenue from the sale of manufactured and traded goods is recognised when the substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.

c. Revenue from service related activities is recognised using the proportionate completion method.

d. Commission income is recognised as and when the terms of contract are fulfilled.

e. Interest income is accrued at applicable interest rate.

f. Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises.

3. Research and development a. Revenue expenditure on research is expensed under respective heads of account in the period of which it is incurred.

b. Development expenditure on new products is capitalised as intangible asset, if all of the following can be demonstrated:

i. The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

ii. The Company has intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

iii. The Company has ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

iv. The manner in which the probable future economic benefits will be generated including the existence of a market for output of the intangible asset or intangible asset itself of if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of intangible assets.

v. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset and

vi. The Company has ability to measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development reliably.

The development expenditure capitalised as intangible asset is amortised over its useful life.

Other development costs that do not meet above criteria are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

4. Employee benefits

a. Short-term employee benefits All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits.

Benefits, such as, salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, etc., and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

b. Post employment benefits i. Defined contribution plans: The Company’s superannuation scheme, provident fund scheme, employees’ state insurance

scheme and employees’ pension scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognised during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

ii. Defined benefit plans: The employees’ gratuity fund schemes and post-retirement medical care benefit plan are the Company’s defined benefit plans. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yield on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods equivalent to the weighted average maturity profile of related obligations.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The interest element in the actuarial valuation of defined benefits plans, which comprises the implicit interest cost and impact of changes in discount rate, is classified under finance costs. The balance charge is recognised as employee benefit expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognise the obligation on net basis.

Gains and losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

c. Long-term employee benefits The obligation for long-term employee benefits, such as, long-term compensated absences, long service award, etc., is recognised

in the same manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b) (ii) above.

d. Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

d. Fixed assets are eliminated from financial statements either on disposal or when retired from active use.

e. Own manufactured assets are capitalised at cost including an appropriate share of overheads.

6. Leases a. Assets acquired under leases where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance

leases. Such assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of fair value or present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

b. Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis.

7. Depreciation a. Depreciation on assets is provided on written down value method on assets added upto 30th September,1986 and on straight-line

method on assets added after that date, at the rates and in the manner specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, as amended from time to time, except for computers, the depreciation is provided at the rate of 33.33%, which is higher rate, in line with their estimated useful life.

c. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated on a straight-line method over the lease term.

8. Intangible assets and amortisation a. Intangible assets are stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated amortization and cumulative

impairment. Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are amortised as follows:

i. Leasehold land: Over the period of lease.

ii. Specialised software: Over a period of three years.

b. Administrative and other general overhead expenses that are specifically attributable to acquisition of intangible assets are allocated and capitalised as a part of cost of the intangible assets.

c. Intangible assets not ready for the intended use on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as ‘Intangible assets under development’.

9. Impairment of assets a. As at each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of assets is tested for impairment so as to determine:

i. the provision for impairment loss, if any; and

ii. the reversal of impairment loss recognised in previous periods, if any.

b. Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

c. Recoverable amount is determined:

i. in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of net selling price and the value in use; and

ii. in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of cash generating unit’s net selling price and value in use.

(Value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.)

10. Investments a. Investments, which are readily realizable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition, are

classified as current investment. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

a. Materials, stores, spares and loose tools, at lower of weighted average cost and net of realisable value.

b. Work-in-progress and finished goods, at lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value.

c. Cost include directly related to production cost and systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads.

d. Finished goods are inclusive of excise duty paid/payable on such goods.

Basis used to determine the overall expected return:

The Investments of Provident Fund and Gratuity Fund are managed by separate Trusts. Expected rate of return on investment is determined based on the assessment made by the Company at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated incremental investments to be made during the year. Yield on the portfolio is calculated based on suitable mark-up over the benchmark Government securities of similar maturities.

f. Principal actuarial assumptions at the Balance Sheet date (expressed as weighted averages):

1. Discount rate as at 31.03.2013 8.05%

2. Expected return on plan assets as at 31.03.2013 7.50%

3. Annual increase in healthcare costs (see note below)

4. Salary growth rate:

Gratuity scheme 6.00%

g. Attrition rate:

a. For post-retirement medical benefits, the attrition rate varies from 1% to 2% for various age groups.

b. For gratuity scheme, the attrition rate varies from 1% to 2% for various age groups.

h. The estimates for future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

i. The obligation of the Company under the post-retirement medical benefit plan is limited to the overall ceiling limits. At present healthcare cost, as indicated in the principal actuarial assumption given above, has been assumed to increase at 5% p.a.

j. A one percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates from the central rate assumed in this valuation would have the following effects on the aggregate of the service cost and interest cost and defined benefit obligation:
