Introduction
Significance of Accounting Policies
Accounting policies are very important for the proper understanding of the information provided
in the financial statements. An entity should clearly state the accounting policies it has used
while preparing the financial statements. Disclosure of accounting policies is important because
many accounting standards allow alternative treatments for a same transaction or item. Users of
financial statements will not be able to compare the financial information with other entities if
the accounting policies are not cleared outlined.

Property, plant and equipment Owned assets

a) Cost

Operating fixed assets except freehold land, building and roads and plant & machinery are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Freehold land is stated at
revalued amount, whereas building & roads and plant & machinery are stated at revalued
amount less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluation is carried out by
independent expert. The Company carries out triennial revaluations, considering the change in
circumstances and assumptions from prior year. Capital work-in-progress and major spare parts
and standby equipment are stated at cost. Cost in relation to certain plant and machinery items
include borrowing cost related to the financing of major projects during construction phase.

Subsequent cost, if reliably measurable, are included in the asset's carrying amount or
recognized as separate amount as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the cost will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of any
replaced parts as
extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to
statement of profit or loss.

Depreciation on operating assets is calculated using the reducing balance method to allocate
their cost over their estimated useful life .

Depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged from the date asset is
available for intended use till date of disposal.

The gain or loss on disposal of an asset, calculated as difference between the sale proceed and
carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in statement of profit or loss account for the year

Assets subject to finance lease

At its inception, a lease is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Finance
leases transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 5


Page |6

Finance leases are capitalized at the lease commencement at the lower of the fair value of the
leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is
apportioned between the liability and finance charges using the effective interest method.
Rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in liabilities in the statement of financial
position.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss account on a straight-line
basis over the term of the relevant lease. Minimum lease payments receivable under operating
leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Impairment of non-
financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example land, are not subject to
amortisation or depreciation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are
subject to depreciation/ amortisation are reviewed for impairment at each statement
of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised
for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Reversals of the impairment losses are restricted to the extent that assets carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net
of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. An
impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit
or loss account

Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiary is initially recognised at cost. At subsequent reporting date,


recoverable amounts are estimated to determine the extent of impairment loss, if any,
and carrying amount of investment is adjusted accordingly. Impairment losses are
recognised as expense in the statement of profit or loss. Where impairment loss is
subsequently reversed, the carrying amounts of investment are increased to its
revised recoverable amount, limited to the extent of initial cost of investment.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 6


Page |7

Reversal of impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss


account.

The profits or losses of subsidiaries are carried forward in their financial statements
and are not dealt within these financial statements except to the extent of dividend
declared by the subsidiaries. Gains and losses on disposal of investment are included
in other income. When the disposal on investment in subsidiary results in loss of
control such that it becomes an associate, the retained investment is carried at cost.

Investment in associates

Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities are initially recognised at cost.
At subsequent reporting date, the recoverable amounts are estimated to determine
the extent of impairment losses, if any, and carrying amounts of investments are
adjusted accordingly. Impairment losses are recognised as expense in the statement of
profit or loss. Where impairment losses are subsequently reversed, the carrying
amounts of these investments are increased to the revised recoverable amounts but
limited to the extent of initial cost of investments. A reversal of impairment loss is
recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The profits and losses of associates and
jointly controlled entities are carried forward in their financial statements and are not
dealt within these financial statements except to the extent of dividend declared by
the associates and jointly controlled entities. Gains and losses on disposal of
investments are included in the statement of profit or loss account.

Stores and spares

Stores and spares are stated at cost less allowance for obsolete and slow moving
items. Cost is determined using weighted average method. Items in transit are valued
at cost comprising invoice value and other related charges incurred up to the date of
the statement of financial position date.

Stock-in-trade

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 7


Page |8

Sugar and Ethanol are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
determined using the average manufacturing cost method. The cost of finished goods
and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and
related production overheads.

Cost of own produced molasses, a by product, is determined on the basis of average


cost of molasses purchased from third parties.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less cost of completion and costs necessary to be incurred to make the sale.

Trade debts

Trade debts are recognised and carried at the original invoice amounts, being the fair
value, less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, if any. As explained in note 4.19 to
these financial statements, for measurement of loss allowance for trade debts, the
Company applies IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure the expected credit losses,
previously loss allowance was measured under incurred loss model of IAS 39.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost. For the purpose of statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with banks in current, deposit and
saving accounts, bank overdrafts and cash / running finance. Bank overdrafts are
shown in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

Borrowings and borrowing cost

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.
Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the
proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss account over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 8

Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or


production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All
other borrowing costs are charged to statement of profit or loss account.

Employee retirement benefits

The Company operates a provident fund and an unfunded gratuity scheme for its
employees per details below:

Defined contribution plan

The Company operates a recognized contributory provident fund for its permanent
employees. Equal monthly contributions are made, both by the Company and the
employees to the fund at the specified rate of basic salary and charged to statement
of profit or loss account.

Defined benefit plan

The Company operates an unfunded gratuity scheme covering eligible employees


under their employment contract. The liability for gratuity is recognized on the basis of
actuarial valuation using Projected Unit Credit Method. The latest actuarial valuation
was conducted on September 30, 2019.

Trade and other payables

Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable including payable to related parties are
carried at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in future for
goods and/or services received, whether or not billed to the Company.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of
financial position date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. 4.12 Taxation

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 9


P a g e | 10

Income tax comprises of current and deferred tax.

(i) Current

Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income for the year determined in
accordance with prevailing law for taxation on income at the applicable rates of
taxation after taking into account tax credits and tax rebates, if any. Income tax
expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

(ii) Deferred

Deferred income tax is recognised using the statement of financial position liability
method on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts appearing in the financial statements. Deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax asset is
recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable
that deductible temporary differences will reverse in the future and taxable income
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses
and tax credit can be utilised.

Deferred tax asset and liability is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to
the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that
have been enacted. Deferred tax is charged or credited to income except in the case of
items credited or charged to equity in which case it is included in equity.

Dividend and revenue reserve appropriation

Dividend and movement in revenue reserves are recognised in the financial


statements in the period in which these are approved.

Foreign currency transactions and translation

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the rupees using the exchange rate
prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 10


P a g e | 11

in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the exchange rate
prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at
year-end exchange rates are recognized in the statement of profit or loss account.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognises revenue at point of time when control of product is


transferred to customer. Control is considered to be transferred in case of local sales
when the finished goods are directly uplifted by customer from the warehouse or
when it is delivered by the Company at customer premises. In case of export sales,
control is considered to be transferred when the finished goods are shipped to the
customer.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration agreed with a customer and


excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Revenue is disclosed net of
discounts, rebates and returns.

Development expenditure

Expenditure incurred on development of sugar cane is expensed in the year of


incurrence.

Operating Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker,
who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic
decisions. The management has determined that the Company has two reportable
segments i.e. sugar and ethanol.

Earnings per share

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 11


P a g e | 12

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary
shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial
position when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. All the financial assets are derecognized at the time when the Company
losses control of the contractual rights that comprise the financial assets. All financial
liabilities are derecognized at the time when they are extinguished that is, when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expires. Any gains or
losses on de-recognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities are taken to the
statement of profit or loss account.

a) Financial assets

Classification

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following
measurement categories:

i) amortized cost where the effective interest rate method will apply; ii) fair value
through profit or loss; iii) fair value through other comprehensive income.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial
assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in statement
of profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investment in equity instruments
that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 12


P a g e | 13

irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity
investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The Company
reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing
those assets changes.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the
date on which the Company commit to purchase or sell the asset. Further financial
assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets
have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measure a financial asset at its fair value plus, in
the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction
costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in statement of profit or loss.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business


model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are
three measurement categories into which the Company can classifies its debt
instruments:

a) Amortised cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where the contractual
terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that represent
solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest
income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective
interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 13


P a g e | 14

statement of profit or loss account and presented in other income together with
foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line
item in the statement of profit or loss account.

b) Fair value through other comprehensive income ( FVTOCI )

Debt securities, where the contractual cashflows are solely principal and interest and
the objective of the Company's business model is achieved both by collecting
contractual cashflows and selling financial assets are measured at FVTOCI. Movements
in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of
impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses
which are recognised in statement of profit or loss account. When the financial asset is
derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified
from equity to statement of profit or loss account and recognised in other income.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the
effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in
other income and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the
statement of profit or loss account.

c) Fair value through profit and loss ( FVTPL )

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at
FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and presented in finance income/cost in
the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the
Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity
investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and
losses to statement of profit or loss account following the derecognition of the
investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in statement

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 14


P a g e | 15

of profit or loss account as other income when the Company’s right to receive
payments is established.

Impairment of financial assets

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company assess on a historical as well as forward-


looking basis, the expected credit loss (ECL) as associated with its debt instruments,
trade debts, short term investment and deposits and other receivables carried at
amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk.

Following are financial instruments that are subject to the ECL model:

- Trade debts

- Loans and advances

- Trade deposits, prepayments and other receivables - Cash and bank balances

i) General approach for loans and advances, trade deposits, prepayments and other
receivables and cash and bank balances.

The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default,


loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure
at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based
on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information (factors that are specific to
the counterparty, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current
as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time
value of money where appropriate). As for the exposure at default for financial assets,
this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date. Loss
allowances are forward looking, based on 12 month expected credit losses where
there has not been a significant increase in credit risk rating, otherwise allowances are
based on lifetime expected losses.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 15


P a g e | 16

Expected credit losses are a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. The
probability is determined by the risk of default which is applied to the cash flow
estimates. In the absence of a change in credit rating, allowances are recognised when
there is reduction in the net present value of expected cash flows. On a significant
increase in credit risk, allowances are recognised without a change in the expected
cash flows, although typically expected cash flows do also change; and expected credit
losses are rebased from 12 month to lifetime expectations.

Significant increase in credit risk

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis
throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in
credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the instrument as
at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It
considers available reasonable and supportable forward-looking information.

The following indicators are considered while assessing credit risk

- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or


economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the debtor’s
ability to meet its obligations;

- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the debtor;

- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same


debtor; and

- significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in


the quality of thirdparty guarantees, if applicable.

Definition of default

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 16


P a g e | 17

The Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal
credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables
that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable.

- when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or

- information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates


that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Company, in full (without
taking into account any collaterals held by the Company).

Irrespective of the above analysis, in case of trade debts, the Company considers that
default has occurred when a the debt is more than 365 days past due, unless the
Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more
lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Credit - impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental
impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the
following events:

- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;

- a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;

- the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to


the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that
the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;

- it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other


financial reorganisation; or - the disappearance of an active market for that financial
asset because of financial difficulties.

ii) Simplified approach for trade debts

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 17


P a g e | 18

The Company recognises life time ECL on trade debts, using the simplified approach.
The measurement of ECL reflects:

- an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating


a range of possible outcomes;

- reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date


about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Trade debts balance are separately assessed for ECL measurement. All other trade
debts are grouped and assessed collectively based on shared credit risk characteristics
and the days past due. The expected credit losses on these financial assets are
estimated using a provision matrix approach based on the Company’s historical credit
loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic
conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of
conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.

Where lifetime ECL is measured on a collective basis to cater for cases where evidence
of significant increases in credit risk at the individual instrument level may not yet be
available, the financial instruments are grouped on the following basis:

- Nature of financial instruments;

- Past-due status;

Nature, size and industry of debtors; and - external credit ratings where available.

Recognition of loss allowance

The Company recognizes an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss
for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount
through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are
measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve, and

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 18


P a g e | 19

does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of
financial position.

Write-off

The Company writes off financial assets, in whole or in part, when it has exhausted all
practical recovery efforts and has concluded there is no reasonable expectation of
recovery. The assessment of no reasonable expectation of recovery is based on
unavailability of debtor’s sources of income or assets to generate sufficient future cash
flows to repay the amount.

The Company may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement
activity. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off will result in
impairment gains.

b) Financial Liabilities

Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

- fair value through profit or loss; and - other financial liabilities.

The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial


recognition. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in case of
other financial liabilities also include directly attributable transaction costs. The
subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as
follows:

a) Fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held-
for-trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as being at fair
value through profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability
upon recognition as being at fair value through profit or loss.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 19


P a g e | 20

b) Other financial liabilities

After initial recognition, other financial liabilities which are interest bearing
subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Gain and losses are recognized in profit or loss for the year, when the liabilities are
derecognized as well as through effective interest rate amortisation process.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when and only when the Company's
obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the
statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Fair value measurement

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to
sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the
asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market is accessible by the Company. The fair
value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 20


P a g e | 21

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market


participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and
best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and
for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of
relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial
statements are categorized 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; and

- Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on
a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between
levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.

The Board determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value
measurement and for nonrecurring measurement. External valuers may be involved
for valuation of significant assets and significant liabilities. For the purpose of fair value
disclosures, the Company determines classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of
the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair
value hierarchy, as explained above.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 21

Other Income

The Company recognises following in other income:

(i) Income on deposit / saving accounts using the effective yield method.

(ii) Dividend income when the right to receive dividend is established.

(iii) Income from other non-recurring goods and services is recognised when the
control is transferred and performance obligations are fulfilled

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented,
unless otherwise stated.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses except freehold land, factory building, non-factory buildings and plant and
machinery which are stated at revalued amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the entity and its cost can be reliably measured. Cost incurred to replace
a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised and the asset so
replaced is retired from use. Normal repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of
profit or loss account during the period in which they are incurred.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 22


P a g e | 23

Major spare parts qualify for recognition as property, plant and equipment when an entity
expects to use them during more than one year. Transfers are made to relevant operating
assets category as and when such items are available for use.

Depreciation is charged to statement profit or loss account using reducing balance method at
the rates given in note

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss account in
the year in which the asset is derecognized.

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying
amount of these assets exceed their recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in
the statement of profit or loss account.

Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of buildings and plant and machinery is
recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity
except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously
recognised in statement of profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to statement
of profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. Any decrease in carrying
amount arising on the revaluation of land, buildings and plant & machinery is charged to
statement of profit or loss account to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the
surplus on revaluation relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. The surplus on
revaluation to the extent of incremental depreciation charged is transferred to
unappropriated profit. The surplus realized on disposal of revalued fixed assets is credited
directly to retained earnings.

Capital work in progress is stated at cost less impairment if any, and consists of expenditure
incurred and advances made in respect of property, plant and equipment in the course of

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 23


P a g e | 24

their construction and installation. Transfers are made to relevant asset's category as and
when assets are available for intended use.

Intangible Assets

An intangible asset is recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to


the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of such asset can be measured reliably. Costs
directly associated with identifiable software that will have probable economic benefits
exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as an intangible asset. Direct costs include
the purchase cost of software and other directly attributable costs of preparing the software
for its intended use.

Computer software acquisition or development cost is stated at cost less accumulated


amortisation and impairment losses, if any, and is amortised on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life.

Financial assets

Classification and initial measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following three categories:

(a) financial assets measured at amortized cost.

(b) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);

(c) fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it is held within business model


whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows, and its contractual
terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on principal amount outstanding.

Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue thereof.

P a g e | 25

(b) Financial assets at FVOCI

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income


when either:

(i) it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both


collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and its contractual terms
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding; or

(ii) it is an investment in equity instrument which is designated as at fair value


through other comprehensive income in accordance with the irrevocable election
available to the Company at initial recognition.

Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue thereof.

(c) Financial assets at FVTPL

A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at
amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as aforesaid.

Such financial assets are initially measured at fair value.

Subsequent measurement

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost (determined using the effective
interest method) less accumulated impairment losses.

Interest / markup income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses arising
from such financial assets are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

(b) Financial assets at FVOCI

These are subsequently measured at fair value less accumulated impairment losses.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 25


P a g e | 26

A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
in accordance is recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or
losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognised or
reclassified. When the financial asset is derecognised the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a
reclassification adjustment (except for investments in equity instruments which are
designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income in whose case the
cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is not so
reclassified). Interest is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised in
statement of profit or loss account.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Net gains or losses arising from remeasurement of such financial assets as well as any interest
income accruing thereon are recognized in the statement of profit or loss account.

Impairment

The Company applies the IFRS 9 'Simplified Approach' to measuring expected credit losses
which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. The Company
measures expected credit losses on trade receivables in a way that reflects an unbiased and
probability-weighted amount, time value of money and reasonable and supportable
information at the reporting date about the past events, current conditions and forecast of
future economic conditions. The Company recognises in the statement of profit or loss
account, as an impairment loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is
required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date.

De-recognition

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial
assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially
all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 26


P a g e | 27

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or 'at fair value through profit
or loss' (FVTPL). A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading,
it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL
are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are
recognized in the statement of profit or loss account.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the contractual obligations are discharged or
cancelled or have expired or when the financial liability's cash flows have been substantially
modified.

Off-setting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of
financial position, if the Company has a legally enforceable right to setoff the recognized
amounts and the Company intends to settle either on a net basis or realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

Stores, spares and loose tools

Stores and spares excluding items in transit are valued at lower of average cost and net
realizable value. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice values plus other
charges incurred thereon accumulated to the reporting date.

Net realizable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions are made in the financial statements for obsolete and slow moving inventory based
on management's best estimate regarding there future usability.

Stock-in-trade

These are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises
all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories
to their present location and condition. Cost is determined as follows.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 27


P a g e | 28

Net realizable value is determined on the basis of estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less costs necessary to be incurred for its sale.

Finished goods : at lower of average manufacturing cost and net realizable value

Work in process : at average raw material cost and overheads Molasses


: at net realizable value

Trade debts and other receivables

Trade debts and other receivables are carried at their initial transaction price less the lifetime
expected credit loss allowance.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost. For the purpose of cash flow statement cash
and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances and short term borrowing.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity and recognized at their face value. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of tax, from the proceeds.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been
acquired in ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as
current if payment is due within one year or less (or in normal operating cycle of business, if
longer), if not, they are classified as non current liabilities. Liabilities for trade and other
amounts payable are carried at amortized cost.

Short tem borrowing

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings
are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 28


P a g e | 29

transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of profit or loss
account over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Provisions

Provision is recognized when, as a result of past event, the Company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Subsequently, provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate.

Staff retirement benefits - Defined contribution plan

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays
fixed contribution and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts.
Obligations for the defined contributions plans are recognized as an employee benefit
expense in statement of profit or loss account when they are due.

The Company operates a recognized provident fund for all its eligible permanent employees.
Equal monthly contributions are made by the Company and employees to the fund at the rate
of 12% of basic salary. The Company's contribution are charged to statement of profit or loss
account.

P a g e | 30

All remeasurement gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from local sale (sugar & molasses) is recognized when the customer obtains control
of the goods being when the goods are delivered to the customer and there is no unfulfilled
obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the
goods have been dispatched from the Company's premises and either the customer has
accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have
elapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been
satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered to customers in case of local sales as
this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of
time is required before the payment is due.

The Company does not expect to have contracts where the period between the transfer of the
promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year.
As a consequence, the Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effect of time
value of money.

Interest income

Return on bank deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis on the principal amount
outstanding and at the rate applicable.

Taxation

Tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the
statement of profit or loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In that case, the tax is also recognized in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 30


P a g e | 31

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rate
enacted by or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to the tax
payable in respect of previous year. Provision for current tax is based on higher of the taxable
income at current rates of taxation in Pakistan after taking into account tax credits, rebates
and exemptions available, if any or minimum tax u/s 113 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 after
taking into account tax credits or Alternative Corporate Tax u/s 113C of the Income Tax
Ordinance, 2001. However, for income covered under final tax regime, taxation is based on
applicable tax rates under such regime. The amount of unpaid income tax in respect of the
current or prior periods is recognized as a liability. Any excess paid over what is due in respect
of the current or prior periods is recognized as an asset.

Deferred

Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary
differences, at the reporting date, between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and
deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward
of unused tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and /or carry forward of
unused tax losses or tax credits can be utilized.

The carrying amount of all deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 31


P a g e | 32

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Pak Rupees which is the Company’s
functional and presentation currency using the exchange rates approximating those prevailing
at the date of the transaction. All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are
translated into Pak Rupees using the exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary
assets are translated using exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translations at the year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are taken to the statement of profit or loss account.

Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which these are incurred except
to the extent of borrowing cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of a qualifying asset. Such borrowing costs, if any, are capitalized as part of the
cost of that asset.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company become party to the
contractual provision of the instrument.

12.2 Initial measurement


All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost which is the fair value of the
consideration given or received. These are subsequently measured at fair value or amortised
cost as the case may be.

12.3 Classification of financial assets


The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The
classification of instruments (other than equity instruments) is driven by the Company’s
business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow
characteristics. A financial asset is initially measured at fair value plus, transaction costs that
are directly attributable to its acquisition.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:

- at amortised cost.
- at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL),
- at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI),

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are classified as financial assets at
amortised cost:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI:

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 54


P a g e | 55

- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by
both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

By default, all other financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL."

12.4. Classification of financial liabilities


Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or 'at fair value through profit
or loss' (FVTPL). A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading,
it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.

12.5 Subsequent measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost


These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. In case of financial assets the amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses.
Interest / mark-up income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized
in the statement of profit or loss. Any gain or loss on de-recognition is also recognized in the
statement of profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)


These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in
the statement of profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the
cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive
income. On derecognition of an debt instrument classified as at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain
or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to
statement profit or loss.

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 55


P a g e | 56

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
These are subsequently measured at fair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses
arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL and
any interest / mark-up or dividend income are included in the statement profit or loss. Where
management has opted to recognise a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with
the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss).

12.6 Derecognition of Financial Instruments


The Company derecognises financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows
from the financial assets expire or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all
the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. The Company derecognises
financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged,
cancelled or expired. Any gain or loss on derecognition of financial asset or liability is also
included to the statement profit or loss.

12.7 Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities


All financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
statement of financial position if the Company has a legal enforceable right to set off the
recognized amounts and intends either to settle on net basis or to realize the assets and settle
the liabilities simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future
events and must be enforceable in normal course of business and in the event of default,
insolvency or winding up of the company or the counter parties.

13. Impairment

a) Financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with
its financial assets. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been
a significant increase in credit risk. The Company applies the simplified approach to recognise

Issue and Controversies in Financial Accounting 56


P a g e | 57

lifetime expected credit losses for trade and other receivables, if any. When determining
whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition
and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information
that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort.

b) Non-Financial assets
The carrying amount of non-financial assets is assessed at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the
recoverable amount of such assets is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the
carrying amount of a specific asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that
largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognized in
statement of profit or loss.

fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognized on following basis:

buyer, usually on dispatch of the goods to customers.
- Return on bank deposits is recognized on a time proportion basis on accrual basis at
applicable rate.
- Mark-up on grower loan is accounted for in line with the recovery of the respective loan due
to exigencies involved in such matters. Recognition of mark-up on loans considered doubtful is
deferred.
- Share of the profit or loss of associates is taken to profit & loss account under equity method
and dividend is credited to investment in associate in the period when the Company's right to
receive the payment is established.

determined. Exchange differences on foreign currency translations are included in statement of profit
or loss.

For the purpose of cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents comprises cash in hand, balances
with banks on current, savings and deposit accounts.
