The assets have been shown at the net value after deducting the amortisation, impairment and depreciation funds. The difference between depreciation on revalued amount and that calculated on original cost of assets revalued is transferred from revaluation reserve to the Statement of Profit and Loss. ii) Depreciation on additions to the assets during the year is being provided on pro-rata basis at their respective rate with reference to the month of acquisition | installation as required by Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. iii) Depreciation on assets sold, scrapped or discarded during the year is being provided at their respective rates up to the month in which such assets are sold, scrapped or discarded, as required by Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. iv) Depreciation is adjusted in subsequent periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount after the recognition of an impairment loss on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. F. Impairment of Assets: The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal | external factors. An impairment loss will be recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.The recoverable amount is 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 the present value by using weighted average cost of capital. A previously recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. G. Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs in relation to acquisition and construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of cost of such assets up to the date when such assets are ready for intended use. Other borrowing costs are charged as expense in the year in which these are incurred. H. Investments: Investments that are intended to be held for more than a year, from the date of acquisition, are classified as long-term investments and are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value of investments is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments. I. Inventories: i) Raw materials, packing materials and fuel are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower. Cost is arrived at on FIFO basis. ii) Stores and spares other than specific spares for machinery are valued at cost.
