Note 2: Summary of significant accounting policies
This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.
The policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
a. Basis of preparation
i. Compliance with Ind AS
The financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of
Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] as amended
from time to time and other relevant provision of the
Act.
The Financial Statements are presented in INR
and all values are rounded off to the nearest lakhs
(INR 00,000), unless otherwise stated. The financial
statements have been prepared on a historical cost
basis, except certain financial instruments which
have been measured at fair value.
ii. Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in
the balance sheet based on current/ non-current
classification. An asset is treated as current when it
is:
- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or
consumed in normal operating cycle
- Held primarily for the purpose of trading
- Expected to be realised within twelve months
after the reporting period, or
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from
being exchanged or used to settle a liability for
at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
- It is expected to be settled in normal operating
cycle
- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after
the reporting period, or
- There is No unconditional right to defer the
settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non¬
current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as
non-current assets and liabilities.
b. Operating Segment
The company is primarily engaged in the business
of providing cranes on rental basis. Further all the
commercial operations of the company are based in India.
Accordingly, there are no separate reportable segments.
c. Fair value measurement
The Company measures financial instruments at fair
value at each balance sheet date.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured
or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows,
based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole:
- Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable
- Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable
d. Revenue recognition
Rendering of services
Revenue from hiring of equipment (cranes & trailers)
associated with the transaction is recognised when
the Company satisfies a performance obligation by
transferring a promised services. When a performance
obligation is satisfied, the Company recognise as revenue
the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to
that performance obligation.
Interest income
Interest income for debt instruments is recognised
using the effective interest rate method. The effective
interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future
cash receipts through the expected life of the financial
asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the company
estimates the expected cash flows by considering
contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not
consider the expected credit losses.
Dividends
Dividend is recognised when the Company''s right to
receive the payment is established, which is generally
when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental Income
Rental Income from Investment Property is recognised
as part of revenue from operations in profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease except where
the rentals are structured to increase in line with general
inflation.
e. Income Taxes
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is
recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to an items recognised directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income.
Current income tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or
receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year
and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in
respect of the previous years. It is measured using tax
rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted
by the reporting date. Current tax assets and current tax
liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable
right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended
to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or
simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried
forward tax loss and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible
temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax
credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are
recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused
tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on the laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is
legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they to income taxes levied by the same
tax authority.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss,
except when they relate to items that are recognised
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity,
in which case, the current and deferred tax are also
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity respectively.
The recognition of deferred tax assets has been deferred
due to the absence of virtual certainity regarding sufficient
future taxable profits against which these losses can
be utilizied. Further, the company has substantial carry
forward business losses and unabsorbed depreciation
hence, the company will continue to assess the
recoverablity of this deferred tax assets in future periods.
f. Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at
cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
loss, if any. Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment
comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade
discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of
bringing the item to its working condition for its intended
use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the
item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant
and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable
that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the company.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of items of property,
plant and equipment less their estimated residual values
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method, and is generally recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is
provided over the useful life of assets as assessed by the
management as follows-
*Based on single shift. Cranes owned by the company
usually work for more than single shift and hence double
shift are considered (only wherever applicable).
The useful lives assessed by the management are in
line with the useful lives prescribed in schedule II to
the companies Act 2013. Depreciation on additions
(disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto)
the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed off).
Reclassification to investment property
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied
to investment property, the property is reclassified as
investment property at its carrying amount on the date of
reclassification.
g. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals
and/or for capital appreciation (including property
under construction for such purposes), but not for sale
in ordinary course of business or for administrative
purpose. Investment properties are measured initially at
cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property is
recognised in profit and loss.
h. Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint
Ventures:
Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint
Ventures are carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists,
the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and
written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, associates
and joint venture, the difference between net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss.
i. Leases
The Company, as a lessee, recognises a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability for its leasing arrangements,
if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset. The contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset, if it involves the use of an
identified asset and the Company has substantially all
of the economic benefits from use of the asset and has
right to direct the use of the identified asset. The cost of
the right-of-use asset shall comprise of the amount of the
initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any
lease payments made at or before the commencement
date plus any initial direct costs incurred. The right-of-
use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any
accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment
losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of
the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated
using the straight-line method from the commencement
date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-
of-use asset.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present
value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments
are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease,
if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot
be readily determined, the Company uses incremental
borrowing rate.
For short-term and low value leases, the Company
recognises the lease payments as an operating expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
j. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment
are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any
indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss when the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that
a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists,
the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is
reflected at the recoverable amount but limited to the
carrying amount that would have been determined (net
of depreciation / amortisation) had no impairment loss
been recognised in prior accounting periods.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can reliably be estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to net present value using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective funds.
Gratuity /Leave encashment
The obligation of assets recognised in the balance sheet in respect to defined benefit / leave encashment value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets .The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
Change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit of loss as past service cost.
Re-measurement gain and losses arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retain earning in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
n. Foreign currencies
The Company''s financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company''s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company into functional currency at the exchange rate on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
o. Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings per share (EPS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
p. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company''s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
Difference between actual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialised.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate.
For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
j. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount but limited to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation / amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior accounting periods.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees. b Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Management believes that the estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods c Current / Non-current classification
Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities. d Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. e Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is included under the head "other income" in the statement of profit and loss. f Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset 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 fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized. g Investments
Long term investments have been accounted at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long term investments is made only if such a decline, in the opinion of the management, is other than temporary, h Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets (including investment property) except leasehold improvements is provided on straight line method in the manner and rates prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased / sold during the year.
Assets purchased costing less than Rs. 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method (SLM) as per the useful life prescribed under Schedule II of the Act. As per the requirement of Schedule II of Act effective from 1 April 2014, the company has charged depreciation based on revised estimated useful life. Consequently, depreciation charge for the year ended 31 March 2015 is lower by '' 10,31,16,834/- due to change in the estimated useful life of certain assets with a corresponding increase in written down value of fixed assets. Further, depreciation of Rs. 30,30,421(Net of deferred tax of Rs. 15,60,431) on account of assets whose useful life is already exhausted as on April 1, 2014 has been adjusted to retained earnings." i Inventories
Stores and spares are written off in the year of purchase.
j Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective funds.

Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation at the year end. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account and are not deferred. k Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rate of the exchange prevailing on the date of transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are reported using closing rate of exchange at the end of the year.
The resulting exchange gains/losses are adjusted to :
a. Cost of fixed assets/Capital WIP, if exchange differences are on long term monetary items in relation to acquisition of fixed assets.
b. Profit and Loss Account, in other cases.
l Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. Deferred income tax reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liability or asset are recognized using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent of there is reasonable certainty that the asset can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/ virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized. m Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period 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. n Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. o Impairment of assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the profit and loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. p Provisions
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. q Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
