1 SEMINAR ON COMPANY LAW THE CHAMBER OF TAX CONSULTANTS JOINTLY WITH TRIMBAK STUDY CIRCLE OF NASHIK SCHEDULE II, CASH FLOW & EXEMPTIONS TO PRIVATE LIMITED & OTHER COMPANIES 1 Abhay Mehta Partner Mehta Chokshi & Shah 25 th July, 2015
2 DEPRECIATION (SCHEDULE II) 2
3 WHAT IS DEPRECIATION? Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the Depreciable Amount of an asset over its Useful Life. Depreciation includes amortization. Depreciable Amount : It is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost less its residual value. Useful Life : It is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity, or the number of production or similar units. 3
4 JOURNEY FOR DETERMINING USEFUL LIVES Initially, Schedule II prescribed two different treatments for different class of companies: Prescribed class of companies whose Financial Statements comply with the Accounting Standards prescribed for such class of companies. Useful life and residual value shall not be different from that as indicated in Part C, unless the justification for the same is disclosed. Other Companies Useful life of an asset and the residual value shall be lower and higher respectively than that prescribed in Part C. 4
5 NOTIFICATION DATED 31 ST MARCH, 2014 The useful life of an asset shall not be longer than the useful life specified in Part C and the residual value shall not be more than 5% of the Original Cost. Provided that where a company uses a useful life or residual value of an asset which is different from the above limits, justification for the difference shall be disclosed in its Financial Statements. 5
6 NOTIFICATION DATED 29 TH AUGUST, 2014 The useful life of an asset shall not ordinarily be different from the useful life specified in Part C and the residual value of an asset shall not be more than 5% of the Original Cost of the asset. Provided that where a company adopts a useful life different from what is specified in Part C or uses a residual value different from the limit specified above, the Financial Statements shall disclose such difference and provide justification in this behalf which shall be duly supported by technical advice. 6
7 FINAL ANALYSIS The final notification provided flexibility of determining the useful life and residual value of the asset, with the condition that where the useful life and residual value differs from that stated in Schedule II, reasons justifying such adoption should be provided. A level playing field has been provided to the Indian Companies vis-àvis the International practices in this regard. 7
8 INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets : Amortization shall be as per the provisions of the Accounting Standard 26. Exception to the above Rule: The Accounting Standards shall not apply in case of intangible assets created under Build, Operate & Transfer, Build, Own, Operate & Transfer or any other form of public private partnership route in case of road projects. 8
9 Amortization is calculated as follows: Amortization Rate = Amortization Amount X 100 Cost of Intangible Assets Amortization Amount = Cost of Intangible Asset X Actual Revenue for the year Projected Revenue from Intangible Asset (till the end of the concession period) 9
10 ILLUSTRATION Here we understand the concept with the help of an illustration on Toll Road. Following are the assumptions to the Illustration : Cost of Creation of Toll Road = Rs. 800 Crore Total period of Agreement = 17 years Time for creation of Toll Road = 2 years Balance years for amortization of Toll Road = 15 years Total Revenue to be generated Out of Toll Road = Rs Crore The year wise generation of revenue shall be as follows : 10
11 Year No. Revenue (In Crores) Total
12 Year Revenue (In Crores) Computation Charged to P & L Amortization Rate 1 6 6/1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % /1000* /800* % 12 Total
13 EXTRA SHIFT DEPRECIATION No separate rates are prescribed for extra shift depreciation. Useful Lives of assets working on shift basis have been specified in the Schedule based on Single Shift Working. In case the assets are used for any time during the year for Double Shift, the depreciation will increase by 50% for that period. In case of Triple Shift, the depreciation shall be calculated on the basis of 100% for that period. 13
14 DEFINITION OF THE TERM SHIFT The term Shift is not defined in the Companies Act, 1956 as well as Companies Act, As per Section 2(r) of the Factories Act, 1948, the definition of the term shift is as follows: Where work of the same kind is carried out by two or more sets of workers working during different periods of the day, each of such sets is called group or relay and each of such period is called Shift. 14
15 Formula for arriving at Extra Shift Depreciation (EAC Opinion 31.13) = Depreciation for S.S Working + (Depreciation for D.S. /T.S. Working Depreciation for S.S. Working) X No. of Days Worked in D.S. / T.S. Normal Working Days during the year 15
16 ILLUSTRATION Assumptions to the Illustration Cost of Plant and Machinery = Rs. 30 Crore Residual Value = Rs. 1.5 Crore Depreciable Amount = Rs Crore Useful Life as per Schedule II = 15 years Normal Working Days = 300 Days Working Days for Double Shift = 60 Days Therefore, Depreciation amount as per SLM Basis = Rs. 30 Crore Rs. 1.5 Crore 15 years = Rs. 1.9 Crore = Depreciation for Single Shift Working 16
17 Now, Depreciation amount for Double Shift Working = [ Rs. 1.9 Crore (i.e. for Single Shift Working) + 50% (Rs. 1.9 Crore) Rs. 1.9 Crore ] X 60 Days /300 Days = Rs Crore Therefore, Total Depreciation to be charged to Plant and Machinery = Rs. 1.9 Crore + Rs Crore = Rs Crore 17
18 COMPONENTIZATION OF ASSETS Useful life specified in Part C is for whole of the asset. Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to the total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of the significant part should be determined separately. Notification dated 29 th August, 2014, has made the applicability of component accounting voluntary for Financial Year and mandatory from Financial Year onwards. Guidance for Component Accounting is available in the IndAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. 18
19 ILLUSTRATION We shall now understand how is Depreciation to be calculated for components of an asset and difference in provisions for calculation of the same as per Companies Act, 1956 and The following are the assumptions for calculating Depreciation of a Blast Furnace held by a Steel Company ABC Ltd. : The company assumes the furnace to have a useful life of 30 years based on past experience. Components Useful Life Cost (Rs. in Crores) Structure Internal lining of refractory 5 20 Heating Components 7 14 Motors and other operating parts for controlling them Total
20 DEPRECIATION AS PER COMPANIES ACT, 1956 Component Accounting was not mandatory as per Companies Act, Therefore, Depreciation of the furnace (SLM Basis) = Rs. 144 Crores/30 years = Rs. 4.8 Crore per annum Here, the Replacement Cost of various components will be charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. 20
21 DEPRECIATION AS PER COMPANIES ACT, 2013 Component wise depreciation per annum shall be as follows : Furnace Depreciable Amount (Rs. In Crores) (A) Useful Life (B) Depreciation Amount (Rs. In Crores) (A/B) Structure Internal lining of refractory Heating Components Motors and other operating parts for controlling them Total 12 When at the end of respective useful lives the components are replaced, the replacement cost should be capitalized because by that time, they are fully depreciated and the carrying value at the end of their respective useful lives is NIL 21
22 CONTINUOUS PROCESS PLANTS It is a plant which is required and designed to operate 24 hours a day. Blast Furnace is required and designed to operate 24 hours a day. It may be shut down due to planned maintenance, lack of demand, etc. It would still be considered a Continuous Process Plant. Continuous Process Plant for which no special rates have been prescribed can be depreciated over a 25 year period. The period of 25 years was earlier stated as 8 years in Schedule II which was later rectified through a Notification. 22
23 ASSETS COSTING LESS THAN RS. 5,000 Companies Act, 1956 provided for depreciating assets costing less than Rs. 5,000/- at 100%. No such specific provision is stated in the Companies Act,
24 PART B OF SCHEDULE II The useful life or residual value of any specific asset, as notified for accounting purposes by a Regulatory Authority constituted under an Act of Parliament or by the Central Government shall be applied in calculating the depreciation to be provided for such asset irrespective of the requirements of this Schedule. 24
25 TRANSITIONAL PROVISION From the date this Schedule comes into effect, the treatment for the carrying amount of the asset as on that date shall be as follows: In case there is remaining useful life of the asset : The same shall be depreciated over the remaining useful life as per this Schedule ; In case the remaining useful life is nil : Retain the residual value, and balance carrying amount should be adjusted against the opening balance of retained earnings. 25

28 CASH FLOW STATEMENTS 28
29 WHAT ARE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS? The definition of Financial Statements as per Section 2(40) of the Companies Act, 2013 is as follows: Financial Statement in relation to a company, includes : A balance sheet as at the end of the financial year; A profit and loss account, or in the case of a company carrying on any activity not for profit, an income and expenditure account for the financial year; Cash flow statement for the financial year; A statement of changes in equity, if applicable; and Any explanatory note annexed to, or forming part of, any document referred to in sub-clause (i) to sub-clause (iv). The Cash Flow Statement is not a part of Financial Statements for the following : One Person Company Small Company Dormant Company 29
30 SMALL COMPANY Small Company is defined as per Section 2(85) of the Companies Act, 2013 as follows: Small Company means a company, other than a public company whose (i) Paid-up share capital of which does not exceed fifty lakh rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed which shall not be more than five crore rupees; OR (ii) Turnover of which as per its last profit and loss account does not exceed two crore rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed which shall not be more than twenty crore rupees. The above shall not apply to (A) A holding company or a subsidiary company (B) A company registered under section 8; or (C) A company or body corporate governed by any special Act. 30
31 The Cash Flow Statements are to be prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard 3 Cash Flow Statements as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. A Cash Flow Statement as understood by Accounting Standard 3 is as follows: A cash flow statement, when used in conjunction with the other financial statements, provides information that enables users to evaluate the changes in net assets of an enterprise, its financial structure (including its liquidity and solvency) and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flows in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities. 31
32 SCOPE To present the cash flows of the business & includes Generation of cash & Its utilization PRESENTATION Presentation has to be classified in the following activities: Operating Activities Financing Activities Investing Activities 32
33 DEFINITIONS Cash Cash on hand & Demand deposits with banks Cash equivalents Short term, highly liquid investments Readily convertible into cash Subject to insignificant risk of change in value 33
34 OPERATING ACTIVITIES Includes mainly revenue generating activities. Normally results from transactions & other events that affects the profitability Except those which have to be classified as investing or financing activity Illustratively : Profit on sale of Fixed Assets (Investing Activity); Interest on loan (Financing Activity) For Banks/Financial Institutions - Advances & Loans given shall be considered as Operating Activities. 34
35 FINANCING ACTIVITIES Inflows/Outflows in composition of owners equity. Borrowings/Repayments of the same. Bank Overdrafts are treated as Financing Activity. However, IndAS -7 allows to include it as part of Cash & Cash Equivalents, if it forms an integral part of an entity s cash management. Separate disclosure enables stakeholders (shareholders/banks/fis) to predict future cash flows and assess quality of cash flows. 35
36 INVESTING ACTIVITIES Acquisition and disposal of assets which are intended for long term & investments which are also intended for disposal not before at least 12 months are considered as part of Investing Activities. Cash flow represent outflows made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows. If a contract is accounted as a hedge, then cash flow of that contract is classified in the same manner as the hedged item. 36
37 REPORTING OF CASH FLOWS OPERATING ACTIVITIES Direct Method & Indirect Method Direct Method Gross Cash Receipts & Payments of Major Components disclosed. Indirect Method Its starting point is Net profit or loss for the period, which is adjusted for : Non-Cash Components of Income/Expense Deferrals and Accruals of Past/Future Items that are categorized under Investing/ Financing Activities 37
38 Enterprises mainly follow Indirect Method, though Direct Method is considered more appropriate. SEBI requires use of only Indirect Method for Listed Enterprises IndAS -7 also permits Indirect as well as Direct Method, however, it encourages entities to report cash flows from Operating Activities using the Direct Method INVESTING & FINANCING ACTIVITIES Major classes of gross cash receipts and payments arising from investing and financing activities should be reported separately, except for certain cash flows which can be reported on net basis. 38
39 COMPONENTS OF CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS An enterprise should disclose the components of cash and cash equivalents and should present a reconciliation of the amounts in its cash flow statement with the equivalent items reported in the balance sheet. 39
