FROM THE DESK OF CEO
My Fellow Members, It is my honour and privilege to interact with you as the Chairman of the Board. On behalf of Board it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to 24th Annual General
Meeting of your Company “RIDINGS CONSULTING ENGINEERS INDIA LIMITED”. It has been a tumultuous year for us. The sudden demise of my father and our Managing Director, Mr. Sain Ditta Baveja, was a shock to all of Ridings family. He was the energy source of the Company which was fuelling its ambitions to reach the zenith. His passing created a void which impacted the Company from top to bottom, none had expected such incident to occur especially me. As the saying goes “the show must go on”, we at Ridings are trying our level best to come out of this shock and fulfill my father’s dream to make us leaders in Geospatial Data Creators. The pillars of our strong foundation includes technological advancements, geographical expansion, optimally scalable operations and strong customer relationship. The aim is to recognize our accomplishments during the
Financial Year 2018-19 and to share with you our outlook
and plans for the future. I am gratified with the continued
growth of market share in the arena of SMART CITY &
AMRUT city project. I am more excited about the pace and
scale of execution that our Company is undertaking to fulfill
our unwavering aim of creating long-term shareholder value.
In a state of flux in the economies across the world, we
maintained capability to demonstrate a strong performance
on the strength of our in-house innovation and engineering
capabilities with constant cost discipline.
We closed the financial year 2018-19 with a negative bottom
line and a flat top line taking the hit due to risings cost and
extra provisioning on account of various provisions and
costing.
India’s Geospatial Industry is highly diverse and with the
emphasis on SMART CITIES, AMRUT CITIES and
Infrastructure development in general. The allocation of
funds in Union Budget for development of SMART cities has
paved way for opportunities which we were anticipating after
introduction of the SMART city concept. This concept is still
in its nascent stage across the nation and the foundation of
which requires our expertise. The SMART CITIES Board
have fast tracked their approach towards the pending
projects pan India and with government sticking to its aim of
making 99 such cities on priority basis it should be a boost
for the ailing industry and shall generate employment at a
rapid pace.
With ever slowing economic growth, no concrete reforms in
sector in reference to statutory approvals and controls, ever
changing GST rules and regulations regime, further fall in
customer and investor sentiments, increased cost specially
finance costs and no credible pick-up in sales, financial year
2020 is going to be very tough and challenging for the
company. We hope to achieve profitable results this financial
year amid these rising challenging and bring back the
Company on track to profitability.
I would like to thank our wonderful team for their sincere
efforts, consistently, to help us achieve the earmarked
growth targets. We believe that our team is the driving force
behind our success story and our pursuit of excellence
across functions and departments. We have been investing
in our human capital to inculcate and improve leadership
qualities for individuals as well as organizational growth.
In the year ahead, the business environment will continue to
remain challenging and competitive intensity is likely to
remain high. With our purpose driven products, passionate
employees and your continued support, I am confident that
we will continue to deliver growth that is consistent,
competitive, profitable and responsible. I express my
gratitude to all the stakeholders for their continued trust in
our long-term growth story. I look forward to your continuous
support to scale new heights of success in future as well.
Before I conclude, I am thankful to all our Stakeholders, our
Bankers, our Investors, our vendors and most importantly
our customers for their trust and faith and looking forward to
your continued support and best wishes.
Thank You, Praveen Kumar Baveja CEO & Whole Time Director

reviewed periodically by the Board and the Audit
Committee. Pursuant to section 134 (3) (n) of the
Companies Act, 2013 & Regulation 17 of SEBI

account of any unforeseen hike in

issue for the coming years.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
Industry structure and developments
Geospatial industry is in the midst of a major
technology change driven by digitization and
interconnectivity and is being heavily influenced
by Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Internet of
Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing- the key
elements of the 4th Industrial Revolution. In turn,
the location component embedded in applications
and solutions provided through various platforms,
is not only impacting economies, but also
societies. India has achieved a lot in the past few
decades, both as an economy and in terms of
social development milestones, however, the full
potential of geospatial data, tools, technologies
and solutions is yet to be channelized in the
country. Optimum utilization of geospatial
technologies can fast track the development
taking place in the country, leading to geospatial
readiness which is key to digital innovation
contributing significantly to overall GDP growth.
Keeping this in mind, the geospatial information
and technology solutions are critical to effective
planning and implementation of programs under
New India Vision (Vision 2022). The India
Geospatial industry is strong in service domain
generally into servicing geospatial data capturing,
data processing and integration, applications and
solutions development, services across multiple
sectors, along with few global leaders establishing
their global R & D centers in India. There is a
broad consensus that Indian Geospatial industry
is capable of delivering more on the export front
adding further value to its international clientele
and simultaneously generating employment
opportunities as well as spillover effects for the
Indian economy.
The domestic geospatial market in India is
expected to grow at a healthy 13.8% CAGR till FY
2010-21. This is due to both expansion and
advancement of the market in value terms.
However, the Indian market continues to be
challenging for the Indian geospatial industry be it
in terms of a challenging policy environment,
budget constraints, technology integration
constraints at user end, low awareness or
appreciation for benefits of geospatial solutions,
competition from government data / service
providers, procurement practices and payment
issues. The infrastructure sector leads the Indian
Geospatial market with an estimated share of
22.1%. It will maintain its pole position with
projected growth at 16.6% CAGR till FY 2020-21,
followed by other application areas such as urban
development, utilities, water resources, etc.
However, a look at the advancement in geospatial
adoption revels that more often than not,
geospatial is used to perform functions like map-
based visualization and geo tagging based
38
decision support systems. Geospatial
technologies are still not being used as an
analytical tool or getting integrated with other
enterprise level systems and processes to
improve enterprise wide efficiencies.
Opportunities and threats
The recent shift of paradigm towards development
of smart cities throughout the developing countries
across the world has sprung open a wide array of
opportunities for the GIS industry. The
opportunities have multiplied a lot and the
Company is looking forward to cater to as many
opportunities within its ambit to grow itself and in
turn provide value to its stakeholders. With the
opening of new opportunities in the industry like
the smart cities and AMRUT cities projects, the
crown jewel of Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi
development plan for India, the competition has
also grown. Although the new entrants in the
industry lacks the experience and the knowledge,
their entry has reduced the pricing of the projects
which in turn might have effect on the profitability
of the Company.
Product wise performance
The services offered by companies are diverse
however together they form a complete solution
towards creation of a smart network. The
Company provides a variety of services/surveys
like Topographical survey, Base map creation,
Consumer Indexing, Property survey,
Underground utility survey, Point of Interest (POI)
collection, ABD (As-Built drawing), Building
Footprint Digitization. The performance of each
product during a financial year depends on the
stage of project the Company is entering or
executing irrespective of the ongoing projects the
management and its core team works towards
acquiring as much projects as they can.
Outlook
There is a lot of potential for growth in the turnover
of the Company because of the rising demand of
the services provided by the Company and the
demand will be increasing many folds in the
coming time. The smart city and AMRUT projects
are beings aggressively pursued by the
Government of India which are creating major
employment and revenue generation for the GIS
industry, the Company’s CEO Mr. Praveen Kumar
Baveja is of the mindset that if the energy and
efforts of the Company are invested in this
direction the Company can achieve new heights in
terms of growth both as a brand and revenue.
Risks and concern
Your Company continuously ascertains risk and
concerns in the Geospatial industry affecting its
present operations, future performances and
business environment. In order to overcome such
risk and concerns your Company adopts
preventive measures as considered expedient
and necessary. The current geospatial market in
the country derives its revenue from the
government and regulatory bodies and at times
the payment of the projects gets delayed which
impacts the ongoing projects. Management has
come out with different options to reduce such
impacts and maintain a good cash flow for each
project.
Internal control systems and their adequacy
The Company has adequate internal control
system, commensurate with the size of its
operations. Adequate records and documents are
maintained as required by laws. The Audit
committee reviews adequacy and effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control environment and
monitors the implementation of audit
recommendations. The Audit Committee gives
valuable suggestions from time to time for
improvement of the Company’s business
processes, systems and internal controls. All
efforts are being made to make the internal control
systems more effective.
Discussion on financial performance with
respect to operational performance
The Financial performance of the Company has
been satisfactory despite some delay in
payments and your Company is doing well on
fulfilling its objectives of growth, profitability and
maximization of shareholder’s wealth. During the
39
year the Company made net loss of Rs.
(50,122,277.00)/-.
Material development in Human Resources /
Industrial Relations front, including number
of people employed
The Company always believes that its growth is
closely linked with the growth and overall
development of its employees. The Company is
committed to upgrade the skill of its employees
and to create an environment where excellence is
recognized and rewarded. The target is to place
right people at right position and to enhance the
working efficiency, speed, competency and time
management skill of its employees. The
Company’s endeavor is to create an environment
where people can use all of their capabilities in
promoting the business of the Company. Number
of people employed by the Company as on March
31, 2019 are 132.

Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to the financial
statements:
(i) Note 38 of the accompanying Statement wherein the
management has explained certain discrepancies
identified by it in the previous year balances i.e.
opening balances as on April 1, 2018. The
Management has rectified the said discrepancies while
preparing audited financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2019 without restating the opening
balances.
(ii) Note 17 of accompanying statement wherein the
management has explained reasons for considering old
outstanding receivables as good and fully recoverable.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with
Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in
section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial
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 specified under section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules
issued thereunder. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for
ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial statements. As part
of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible
for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the
operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made
by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the
going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the
related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we
have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits
of such communication.

ended March 31, 2018 were audited by another firm of
Chartered Accountants who vide their report dated May

1. Background Ridings Consulting Engineers India Limited (‘the Company’) was incorporated in India on December 28, 1995 to serve the growing needs for high-quality geospatial data generation & GIS solutions for the various Industries. It is a company at the leading edge of technology providing an entire range of services in the field of Underground Survey by Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Geospatial data creation using Remote Sensing & Satellite image and Topographical Surveying, Nationally & Internationally. The Company’s shares have been listed with SME platform of Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) consequent to a public offer of shares by the Company. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
(i) Basis for preparation of Financial Statements: The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act”), read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year. 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 the Schedule III to the Act.
(ii) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the reported date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision in accounting estimate is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
(iii) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue from services Revenue in respect of services is recognised after rendering of services. Revenue is recorded at invoice value, net of discounts and taxes, if any. Other Income Interest Revenue from interest on time deposits is recognised on the time proportion method taking into consideration the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rates.
(v) Property, Plant & Equipment Items of property, plant & equipment are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes (wherever applicable), less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant & equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing property, plant & equipment, including day to day repair and maintenance and cost of replacing parts are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year during which such expenses are incurred. Property, plant & equipment retired from active use and held for disposal are stated at lower of book value and net realisable value as estimated by the Company and are shown separately in the financial statements under other current assets. Loss determined, if any, is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss, whereas profit and sale of such assets is recognised only upon completion of sale thereof.
(vi) Intangible assets An intangible asset is recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and
81
where its cost can be reliably measured. Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any cost attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for its intended use. Losses arising from the retirement of, and gain or losses arising from disposal of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of asset and recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(vii) Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation has been calculated on Straight Line Method at the useful lives, which are equal to useful lives specified as per schedule II to the Act. Amortisation has been calculated on straight line method at the useful lives, based on management estimates and in accordance with Accounting Standard-26 “Intangible Asset”. Depreciation and amortisation on addition to property, plant & equipment and intangible assets respectively is provided on pro-rata basis from the date the assets are ready for intended use. Depreciation and amortisation on sale/discard from property, plant & equipment and intangible assets respectively is provided for up to the date of sale, deduction or discard of the assets as the case may be. Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end, and changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively. The useful lives of the assets are as under:
(v) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment, depreciation/amortisation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
(vi) Leases: Where the Company is lessee Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs of lease are capitalised. A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset as determined by the management or the useful life envisaged in Schedule II to the Act, whichever is lower. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, the capitalised asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset, the lease term and the useful life envisaged in Schedule II to the Act. Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Where the Company is the lessor Leases in which the Company transfers substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as finance leases. Assets given under finance lease are recognised as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. After initial recognition, the Company apportions lease rentals between the principal repayment and interest income so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the finance lease. The interest income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income on an operating lease is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation, are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(vii) Employee Benefits Short term employee benefits: All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, and bonus etc are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the employee renders the related service. Long term employee benefits:
i. Defined contribution plan: Provident fund All employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate as per the provisions of The Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. These contributions are made to the fund administered and managed by the Government of India. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
ii. Defined Benefit Plan: Gratuity The Company provides for retirement benefits in the form of Gratuity. Benefits payable to eligible employees of the company with respect to gratuity, a defined benefit plan is accounted for on the basis of an actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date. In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the plan provides for lump sum payments to vested employees on retirement, death while in service or on termination of employment in an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of

service. The present value of such obligation is determined by the projected unit credit method and adjusted for past service cost and fair value of plan assets as at the balance sheet date through which the obligations are to be settled. The resultant actuarial gain or loss on change in present value of the defined benefit obligation or change in return of the plan assets is recognised as an income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The expected return on plan assets is based on the assumed rate of return of such assets.
iii. Other long-term benefits: Leave encashment Benefits under the Company’s leave encashment scheme constitute other employee benefits. The liability in respect of leave encashment is provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date. Actuarial gain and losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(viii) Foreign exchange transactions Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date, not covered by forward exchange contracts, are translated at year end rates. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non- monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at the rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Translation of integral and non-integral foreign operations The Company classifies its foreign operations as either “integral foreign operations” or “non-integral foreign operations”. The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operations have been those of the Company itself. The assets and liabilities (except share capital which is taken at historical cost) both monetary and non-monetary, of the non-integral foreign operation are translated at the closing rate. Income and expense items of the non-integral foreign operation are translated at average rates at the date of transaction. All resulting exchange differences are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of the net investment, at which time the accumulated amount is recognized as income or as expense. When there is a change in the classification of a foreign operation, the translation procedures applicable to the revised classifications are applied from the date of the change in the classification.
(ix) Taxation Tax expense for the year comprising current tax, deferred tax charge or benefit and MAT credit entitlement is included in determining the net profit for the year. Current tax Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the year. The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and are
written-down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised. The break-up of the major components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as at Balance Sheet date has been arrived at after setting off deferred tax assets and liabilities where the entity has a legally enforceable right to set-off assets against liabilities and where such assets and liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws. Minimum alternate tax Minimum alternate tax (MAT) under the Income Tax Act, 1961, payable for the year is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the period in which the Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the “Income-tax Act, 1961”, the said asset is created by way of credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement.” The Company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
(x) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provision The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Contingent liabilities A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
(xi) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(xii) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated 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 period. The weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, share split or consolidation of shares. For calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted into equity shares as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date.
(xiii) 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.
83
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. Inter-segment revenue is accounted on the basis of transactions which are primarily determined based on market / fair value factors. 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”.
(xiv) Share issue expenses
Share issue expenses are adjusted against the securities premium account as permissible under Section 52 of the Act, to the extent balance is available for utilization in the securities premium account. The balance of share issue expenses in excess of securities premium account, if any, are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
(xv) Material Events Material events occurring after the balance sheet date are taken into cognizance. ...Space intentionally left blank...
