          (i)       Method of Accounting

                   The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as a going concern and on accrual basis.

(ii)              Fixed Assets and Depreciation

(a)   All Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of purchase price, levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working condition for the intended use. In case of borrowed funds and liabilities in foreign currencies for the acquisition of fixed assets from a country outside India, the exchange differences are adjusted to the cost of such asset.

(b)   When an asset is scrapped or otherwise disposed off, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the books of account and resultant profit (including capital profit) or loss, if any, is reflected in the Profit and Loss Account.

(c)   Free hold land is stated at cost. Cost of leasehold land is amortized over the period of lease.

(d)   Depreciation on assets is calculated on Straight Line Method at the rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

 

(iii)     Investments

Investments held as long-term investments are stated at cost comprising of acquisition and incidental expenses less permanent diminution in value, if any.

Investments other than long-term investments are classified as current investments and valued at cost or fair value whichever is less.

                  

(iv)     Inventories

Inventories are stated at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower.

A.       Cost is arrived at

(a)    In case of Raw Material & Die Steel on actual basis.

(b)    In case of stores & spares on a weighted average method.

(c)    In case of WIP & FGs it includes material cost, labour, where appropriate, manufacturing overheads & excise duty.

 

B.      Cost of Dies includes cost of die steel and appropriate labour and manufacturing overheads and cost of renewal. The cost of dies is amortised over a period of two years.

 

(v)            Foreign Currency Transactions

(a)    Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Realised gains and losses and also exchange differences arising on translation at year end exchange rates of current assets and current liabilities outstanding at the end of the year are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

(b)    In the case of monetary items incurred for the acquisition of fixed assets from a country outside India, the exchange differences are adjusted to the cost of such assets.

           

          (vi)     Intangible Assets :

All Intangible Assets are initially measured at cost and amortised so as to reflect the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed. 

 

(vii)    Revenue recognition

Sales of products and services are recognised when the products are despatched or services rendered. Sales are exclusive of sales tax and net of sales return and trade discounts.

(viii)   Export Benefits

Export Incentives in respect of exports made are recognized at a point of reasonable certainty of ultimate collection.

          (ix)     Retirement Benefits

Retirement Benefits in respect of gratuity and leave encashable at retirement/cessation are provided for based on valuations, as at the Balance Sheet date, made by independent actuaries.

 

(x)      Taxation

          Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable income for the year. Deferred tax is recognised, subject to consideration of prudence, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future tax income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

 

2.       In accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement and Demerger which was approved by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on March 21, 2006, the business undertaking of Chakan unit of Amforge Industries Ltd., herein after referred to as demerged undertaking has been demerged and vested in the Company with effect from the appointed date i.e. April 1, 2005. The Scheme has accordingly been given effect to in these accounts.

 

This demerged undertaking is engaged in carrying on the business of manufacture and sale of forging components and related activities.

Pending allotment of these shares, have been disclosed under the head “Share Capital Suspense” in the Balance Sheet.

 

Consequent upon giving effect to the Scheme of Demerger, an amount of Rs.8,692.65 lakhs arising as Goodwill, being the difference between the aggregate value of equity shares and preference shares to be allotted and net book value of assets and liabilities of the Chakan undertaking as on April 1, 2005, has been disclosed under “Goodwill”.
