Demand for oil seeds has on the other hand been However there are few factors that threatens to growing rapidly in India at the rate of 6.5 percent a derail India's growth story. One of them is year.

Schedule '19' – Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to Accounts A. Significant Accounting Policies 1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements The Financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") under the historical cost convention on accrual basis and are in accordance with the applicable accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) & prescribed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These Accounting policies have been consistently applied, except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted by the Company. Management evaluates the effect of accounting standards issued on a going concern basis and ensures that they are adopted as mandated by the ICAI. 2. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and reported amount of income and expenses during the year. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, employee benefits and provision for income tax. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively in the year of revision. 3. Fixed Assets (a) Tangible Assets Fixed assets are stated at their original cost of acquisition inclusive of inward freight, duties, taxes and incidental expenses relating to acquisition and installation net of grants received if any. The cost of assets under installation or under construction plus direct expenses as at the Balance Sheet date are shown as capital work-in-progress. (b) Intangible Assets The cost of Brands acquired comprises its purchase price, including any duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities) and any directly attributable expenditure on acquisition of the same. 4. Depreciation/Amortization (a) Depreciation is provided on the Straight Line Method, at the rates specified in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. (b) In respect of assets added/sold, discarded, demolished or destroyed during the year, depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis with reference to the month of addition/disposal. In the case of additions, it is charged for the full month if addition took place in first half of the month and if it is purchased in second half of the month it is charged for half of the month and in the case of sales it is charged upto the month preceding the date of sale. (c) Assets below Rs. 5,000/- are depreciated at the rate of 100%. (d) Intangible asset i.e. brands are amortized over a period of 10 years subsequent to its purchase. 5. Impairment The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to ascertain if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized 46 Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd. 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 cost of capital. 6. Inventories 1. Stock of raw materials and finished goods are valued at cost or at market value, whichever is lower. 2. Stores, spares and loose tools are valued at cost. 3. In the case of finished goods, cost is determined by taking material, labour and related factory overheads including depreciation and fixed production overheads. 4. Work in process is valued at raw material cost. Cost for the purpose of inventory valuation is calculated on the moving weighted average method and in respect of trading goods at the last month weighted average price. 7. Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of respective transaction or at the forward contact rate agreed with the bank, as the case may be. Monetary current assets and monetary current liabilities that are denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevalent on the date of the Balance Sheet. The resulting difference is also recorded in the Profit & Loss Account. 8. Revenue Recognition (a) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers and is stated inclusive of excise duty. (b) Interest revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. 9. Retirement and Other 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. The benefits like salaries, wages, short term compensated absences etc. and the expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. (b) Post-Employment Benefits (i) Defined Contribution Plans: The State governed provident fund scheme, employee state insurance scheme, employee pension scheme and the Company's approved superannuation scheme are defined contribution plans. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service. (ii) Defined Benefit Plans: Defined benefit plans of the company comprise employees gratuity fund schemes managed by Trust/LIC and Employees Provident Fund managed by trust. The Provident Fund Trust set up by the Company is treated as defined benefit plan since the minimum interest payable by the Provident Fund Trust to the beneficiaries is notified every year by the Government and the Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return on respective investments of the trust and the notified interest rate. 47 Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd. Accordingly, the contribution paid or payable and the interest shortfall, if any, is recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are rendered by the employee. Wherever applicable, 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 yields on Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Profit & Loss Account. In case of funded plans, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans to recognize the obligation on net basis. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of any defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. Past service cost is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. (c) Long Term Employee Benefits Entitlements to annual leave, casual leave and sick leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. Sick leave and casual leave can only be availed while earned leave can either be availed or encashed subject to restriction on the maximum number of accumulation of leaves. The Company determines the liability for such accumulated leaves using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuation being carried out at each Balance Sheet date in the similar manner as in the case of defined benefit plans as mentioned in (b) (ii) above. (d) The Company does not encash leave which have been accumulated up to specified period. Such Leaves have been classified as Long Term Employee Benefits. Such Leaves accumulated at each accounting period are carried forward to next accounting period. Leaves other than specified leaves are encashable. There are no other en-cashable short term benefits. The other staff benefit schemes will be provided according to respective laws in respect of employees as and when these schemes will become applicable to Company. 10. Research and Development Expenditure Revenue expenditure relating to research and development is charged to revenue and capital expenditure is treated as forming part of fixed assets. The expenditure on research projects is charged to the Profit & Loss Account in the year of incurrence. 11. Taxes on Income The current charge for income tax is ascertained on the basis of assessable profits computed in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Minimum Alternative Tax ("MAT") paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an Asset if there is convincing evidence that Company will pay normal tax in future. MAT Credit entitlement can be carried forward and utilized for a period of ten years from the year in which the same is availed. Accordingly, it is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably. 48 Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd. Deferred tax is recognized subject to the consideration of prudence, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable incomes and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences that result between taxable profits and accounting profits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets on timing difference are recognized only if there is a reasonable certainly that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. However, deferred tax assets on the timing differences when unabsorbed depreciation and losses carried forward exist, are recognized only to the extent that there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each Balance Sheet date. 12. Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle and are reviewed regularly and adjusted wherever necessary to reflect the current best estimates of the obligation. Where the Company expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate Asset, only when such reimbursement is virtually certain. Contingent Liabilities are disclosed after an evaluation of the facts and legal aspects of the matters involved. Contingent Assets are neither recognized, nor disclosed. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date. 13. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of cost of such asset till the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. 14. Earnings Per Share In determining earnings per share, the Company considers the net profit after tax and includes the post-tax effect of any extraordinary / exceptional item. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. 15. Cash Flow Statement Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. The Cash Flow statement is separately attached with the financial statements of the Company. 49 Amrit Banaspati Company Ltd. B. Notes to Accounts 1. Contingent liabilities .
