CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 1

GUIDANCE NOTE ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

CONCEPT 1:CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)


“Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” means and includes but is not limited to:
1. Projects or programs relating to activities specified in Schedule VII or
2. Projects or programs relating to activities undertaken by the board of directors of a
company (Board) in pursuance of recommendations of the CSR Committee of the Board
as per declared CSR Policy of the company.

WHICH COMPANY TO PERFORM CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?

Every company including its holding or subsidiary, and a foreign company defined under
clause (42) of section 2 of the Act having its branch office or project office in India which
fulfils the criteria specified in sub-section (l) of section 135 of the Act shall comply with
the provisions of section 135 of the Act and these rules:
Provided that net worth, turnover or net profit of a foreign company of the Act shall be
computed in accordance with balance sheet and profit and loss account of such company
prepared in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) of sub-section (1) of section 381
and section 198 of the Act.

QUESTION 1 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

ABC Ltd. is a company which is formed with charitable objects under Section 8 of the
Companies Act, 2013. As a result, the management of the company believes that as all the
activities of the company will be with the intent of charity, the CSR provisions are not ap-
plicable to ABC Ltd. as these activities are activities in normal course of business.
Whether the provisions of CSR are applicable to ABC Ltd. provided it fulfils the criteria of
Section 135 of the Act?

SOLUTION
Section 135 of the Companies Act is applicable to every company meeting the specified cri-
teria. As per section 2(20) of the Companies Act, ‘company‛ means a company incorporated
under the Companies Act or under any other previous company law. This would imply that
companies set up for the purposes of CSR/public welfare are also required to comply with
the provisions of CSR.

QUESTION 2 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

ABC Ltd. is a company which has a net worth of INR 200 crores, it manufactures rubber
parts for automobiles. The sales of the company are affected due to low demand of its
products.
The previous year‛s financials state:
(INR in Crores)
March 31, March 31, 20X3 March 31, March 31, 20X1
20X4 20X2

(current
year)
Net Profit 3.00 8.50 4.00 3.00
Sales (turnover) 850 950 900 800
Required
Does the Company have an obligation to form a CSR committee since the applicability crite-
ria is not satisfied in the current financial year?

SOLUTION
It has been clarified that ‘any financial year‛ referred to under sub-section (1) of section
135 of the Act read with Rule 3(2) of Companies CSR Rule, 2014, implies ‘any of the three
preceding financial years‛
A company which meets the net worth, turnover or net profits criteria in immediately pre-
ceding financial year, will need to constitute a CSR Committee and comply with provisions of
sections 135 (2) to (5) read with the CSR Rules.
As per the criteria to constitute CSR committee -

2) Sales greater than or equal to INR 1000 Crores: This criterion is not satisfied.
3) Net Profit greater than or equal to INR 5 Crores: This criterion is satisfied in financial
year ended March 31, 20X3.
Hence, the Company will be required to form a CSR committee.
Role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee
The CSR Committee shall—
(a) formulate and recommend to Board-
a. a CSR Policy indicating the activities to be undertaken by the company as specified
in Schedule VII;
b. the amount of expenditure to be incurred on the above activities and
(b) monitor the CSR Policy of the company from time to time.
C. Role of Board
Board shall disclose-
(a) The composition of CSR Committee in its report
(b) Approve the recommended CSR Policy for the company
(c) Disclose the contents of such Policy in its report and place it on the company‛s
website
(d) Ensure that the activities included in CSR Policy of the company are duly execut-
ed by the company
(e) Ensure that the company spends, in every financial year, at least two per cent
of the average net profits of the company made during the three immediately
preceding financial years by giving preference to the local area and areas around
it where it operates
(f) In case the company fails to spend such amount, the Board shall specify the rea-
sons for not spending the amount [ and unless the unspent amount relates to any
ongoing project, transfer such unspent amount to a fund specified in Schedule

(g) Any amount remaining unspent, pursuant to any ongoing project, undertaken by a
company in pursuance of its corporate social responsibility policy, shall be trans-
ferred by the company within thirty days from the end of financial year to a spe-
cial Account (opened by the company in that behalf for that financial year in any
scheduled bank) to be called the unspent corporate social responsibility account.
Such an amount shall be spent by the company in pursuance of its obligations to-
wards the corporate social responsibility policy within 3 years from the date of such
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 5

transfer, failing which, the company shall transfer the same to a fund specified in
schedule VII within thirty days from the date of completion to third financial year.
Special Note: if a company contravenes the above provisions, the company shall be punish-
able with fine which shall not be less than 50,000 but which may be extended to 25,00,000
and every defaulting officer of such company shall be punishable with imprisonment for a
term upto 3 years or with fine which shall not be less than 50,000 but which may be extend

QUESTION 3 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

ABC Ltd. manufactures consumable goods like bath soap, tooth brushes, soap cases etc. As
part of its CSR policy, it has decided to that for every pack of these goods sold, INR 0.80
will go towards the ‘Save trees foundation‛ which will qualify as a CSR spend as per Schedule
VII. Consequently, at the year end, the company sold 25,000 such packs and a total of
INR 20,000 was recognised as CSR expenditure. However, this amount was not paid to the
foundation at the end of the financial year.
Required
Will the amount of INR 20,000 qualify to be a CSR expenditure?

SOLUTION
By earmarking the amount from such sale for CSR expenditure, the company cannot show
it as CSR expenditure. To qualify the amount to be CSR expenditure, it has to be spent.
Hence, INR 20,000 will not be automatically considered as CSR expenditure until and unless
it is spending on CSR activities.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 7

CONCEPT 3 : IMPORTANT POINTS ON CSR ACTIVITIES


1. The CSR activities undertaken by the company shall exclude activities undertaken in
pursuance of its normal course of business.
2. A company may collaborate with other companies for undertaking projects or pro-
grams or CSR activities in such a manner that the CSR committees of respective
companies are in a position to report separately on such projects or programs in
accordance with these rules.

QUESTION 4 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

How can companies with small CSR funds take up CSR activities in a project/ program mode?

SOLUTION
It has been clarified that companies can combine their CSR programs with other similar
companies by pooling their CSR resources.
As per Rule 4 of the CSR Rules, a company may collaborate with other companies for un-
dertaking projects or for CSR activities in such a manner that the CSR committees of the
relevant companies are in a position to report separately on such projects in accordance
with the prescribed Rules.
3. The CSR projects or programs or activities undertaken in India only shall amount to
CSR expenditure.

QUESTION 5 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

Due to immense loss to Nepal in the recent earthquake, one FMCG Company undertakes
various commercial activities with considerable discounts and concessions at the related
affected areas of Nepal for a continuous period of 3 months after earthquake. In the
Financial Statements for the year 20X1-X2, the Management has shown the expenditure
incurred on such activity as expenditure incurred to discharge Corporate Social Responsi-
bility.
Required
State whether the treatment done by the management of management is correct. Explain
with reasons.

SOLUTION
The Companies Act, 2013 mandated the corporate entities that the expenditure incurred
for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should not be the expenditure incurred for the
activities in the ordinary course of business. If expenditure incurred is for the activities
in the ordinary course of business, then it will not be qualified as expenditure incurred on
CSR activities.
8 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The statutory guidelines relating to CSR also require the deployment of funds for the ben-
efit of the local area of the Company. Since Nepal is another country the expenditure done
there i.e. in Nepal shall not qualify to be accounted as CSR expenditure.
Further, it is presumed that the commercial activities performed at concessional rates
are the activities done in the ordinary course of business of the company. Therefore, the
treatment done by the Management by showing the expenditure incurred on such commer-
cial activities in its financial statements as the expenditure incurred on activities undertak-
en to discharge CSR, is not correct.
4. The CSR projects or programs or activities that benefit only the employees of the
company and their Families shall not be considered as CSR activities in accordance
with section 135 of the Act.
5. Companies may build CSR capacities of their own personnel as well as those of their
Implementing agencies through Institutions with established track records of at
least three financial years but such expenditure (including expenditure on adminis-
trative overheads) shall not exceed five percent of total CSR expenditure of the
company in one financial year.
6. Contribution of any amount directly or indirectly to any political party, shall not be
considered as CSR activity.
7. The surplus arising out of the CSR projects or programs or activities shall not form
part of the business profit of a company.
8. CSR expenditure shall include all expenditure including contribution to corpus, for
projects or programs relating to CSR activities approved by the Board on the rec-
ommendation of its CSR Committee, but does not include any expenditure on an
item not in conformity or not in line with activities which fall within the purview of
Schedule VII of the Act.
The Board‛s Report of a company shall include an annual report on CSR containing
particulars as specified.

QUESTION 6 (SELF READING) (LAW ASPECT)

ABC Ltd. is a company which comes under the ambit of Section 135 and CSR Rules. The
Board of ABC Ltd did not appropriate the CSR funds and as a result there was no annual
report on CSR in the Board‛s report for financial year ended March 31, 20X1.
Required
Is this a non-compliance as per the Act?
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 9

SOLUTION
It has been clarified that as per Rule 9 of the CSR Rules, the Board‛s Report of a company
qualifying under section 135 shall include an annual report on CSR, containing particulars
specified in Annexure to CSR Rules. Reporting of CSR policy of the company in the Board‛s
Report is a mandatory requirement. If the disclosure requirements are not fulfilled, penal
consequences may be attracted under section 134(8) of the Companies Act

CONCEPT 4 :
PERMISSIBLE ACTIVITIES UNDER CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY POLICIES: SCHEDULE VII

Note: Additional items included in Schedule VII or clarified as already being covered
under Schedule VII of the Act is given as Appendix II of the chapter.

CONCEPT 5 : ACCOUNTING FOR CSR TRANSACTIONS


Revenue Expenditure made in the Current Financial Year
Debit (INR) Credit (INR)

CSR Expenditure (profit and loss statement) XXX

To Cash/Vendor XXX
CSR Expenditure is an item of profit and loss statement.
Item 5 (A)(k) of the General Instructions for Preparation of Statement of Profit and Loss
under Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, requires that in case of companies covered
under Section 135, the amount of expenditure incurred on ‘Corporate Social Responsibility
Activities‛ shall be disclosed by way of a note to the statement of profit and loss.
The treatment of revenue expenditure will be the same under AS and Ind AS.
CSR Expenditure made towards a Capital Asset
In case the expenditure incurred by the company is of such a nature that give rise to an
‘asset‛, it should be recognised by the company in its balance sheet, provided the control
over the asset is with the Company and future economic benefits are expected to flow to
the company.
Example
A school building is transferred to a Gram Panchayat for running and maintaining the school,
it should not be recognised as ‘an asset‛ in its books and such expenditure would need to be
charged to the statement of profit and loss as and when incurred.
1. Accounting treatment as per AS
Where any CSR asset is recognized in its balance sheet, the same may be classified un-
der natural head (e.g. Tangible assets or Intangible assets) with specific subhead of ‘CSR
Asset‛ if the expenditure satisfies the recognition criteria of ‘asset‛.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 11

Debit (INR) Credit (INR)

CSR Asset (Balance Sheet) XXX

To Cash/Vendor XXX

2. Accounting treatment as per Ind AS


The accounting entry as given above remains the same. However, there is a difference in
the classification of Non-current asset under Ind AS.
Where any CSR asset is recognized in its balance sheet, the same may be classified under
natural head (e.g. Property plant and equipment, Intangible assets or Investment property)
with specific sub-head of ‘CSR Asset‛ if the expenditure satisfies the recognition criteria
of ‘asset‛.
The recognition criteria for asset under Ind AS i.e.,
 Ind AS 16 : Property, plant and equipment,
 Ind AS 40 : Investment Property
 Ind AS 38 : Intangible assets

is to be satisfied.

QUESTION 7

A building is used for CSR activities of the company. The same is capitalised as ‘an asset‛
in the books and depreciation is charged on the same as per the Companies Act, 2013. The
Company claims the cost of the building as ‘CSR expenditure‛ and also the depreciation
thereon.
Required
Is this the correct treatment as per the Act?

SOLUTION
In case the expenditure incurred by the company is of such nature which may give rise to
an ‘Asset‛, it should be recognised by the company in its balance sheet, provided the con-
trol over the asset is with the Company and future economic benefits are expected to flow
to the company. Where any CSR asset is recognized in its balance sheet, the same may be
classified under natural head (e.g. Building, Plant & Machinery etc.) with specific sub-head
of ‘CSR Asset‛ if the expenditure satisfies the definition of ‘asset‛.
For example, a building used for CSR activities where the beneficial interest has not been
relinquished for lifetime by a company and from which any economic benefits flow to a
company, may be recognised as ‘CSR Building‛ for the purpose of reflecting the same in the
balance sheet.
12 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

If an amount spent on an asset has been shown as CSR spend, then the depreciation on such
asset cannot be claimed as CSR spend again. Once cost of the asset is included for CSR
spend, then the depreciation on such asset will not be included for CSR spend even if the
asset is capitalized in the books of accounts and depreciation charged thereon.
Whether any Unspent Amount of CSR Expenditure is to be Provided for?
Facts
 Section 135 (5) of the Companies Act, 2013, requires that the Board of every eligible
company, “shall ensure that the company spends, in every financial year, at least 2% of
the average net profits of the company made during the three immediately preceding
financial years, in pursuance of its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy”. A proviso to
this Section states that “if the company fails to spend such amount, the Board shall, in
its report specify the reasons for not spending the amount”.
 Further, Rule 8(1) of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules,
2014, prescribes that the Board Report of a company under these Rules shall include an
Annual Report on CSR, in the prescribed format.
Analysis
 The above provisions of the Act/Rules clearly lay down that the expenditure on CSR
activities is to be disclosed only in the Board‛s Report in accordance with the Rules
made thereunder.
 In view of this, no provision for the amount which is not spent, (i.e., any shortfall in
the amount that was expected to be spent as per the provisions of the Act on CSR ac-
tivities and the amount actually spent at the end of a reporting period) may be made in
the financial statements.
 The proviso to section 135 (5) of the Act, makes it clear that if the specified amount
is not spent by the company during the year, the Directors‛ Report should disclose the
reasons for not spending the amount.
 However, if a company has already undertaken certain CSR activity for which a liability
has been incurred by entering into a contractual obligation, then in accordance with the
generally accepted principles of accounting, a provision for the amount representing the
extent to which the CSR activity was completed during the year, needs to be recognised
in the financial statements.
Whether the Excess Amount can be Carry Forward to set off against Future CSR Ex-
penditure?
Where a company spends more than that required under law, a question arises as to wheth-
er the excess amount ‘spent‛ can be carried forward to be adjusted against amounts to be
spent on CSR activities in future period.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 13

Facts
As per Section 135 (5) of the Companies Act, the Board shall ensure that the company
spends, in every financial year, at least two per cent of the average net profits of the
company made during the three immediately preceding financial years, in pursuance of its
Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
Analysis
Since 2% of average net profits of immediately preceding three years is the minimum
amount which is required to be spent under section 135 (5) of the Act, the excess amount
cannot be carried forward for set off against the CSR expenditure required to be spent in
future.
Conclusion under various Indian GAAP
1. Accounting treatment as per AS
It has been clarified that the Board is free to decide whether any unspent amount is to be
carried forward to the next year, and the same shall be over and above the next year‛s CSR
allocation equivalent to at least 2% of average net profits of the company. Any shortfall in
spending in CSR shall be explained in the directors‛ report and the Board of Directors shall
state the amount unspent and reasons for not spending that amount. Any shortfall is not
required to be provided for in the books of accounts.
2. Accounting treatment as per Ind AS
The query raised to the ITFG was to clarify whether a provision for unspent CSR expendi-
ture is required to be made under Ind AS. The ITFG considered the principles mentioned
in Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Under Ind AS 37, a
provision would be recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 An entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event
 It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation
 A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
 No provision is required to be made in case the above mentioned conditions are not met.
Considering the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 135(5)) and Ind AS 37,
the ITFG clarified that the provision for any shortfall in the amount that was expected to
be spent on the CSR activities as per the Companies Act, 2013 on CSR activities and the
amount actually spent at the end of a reporting period, may not be required in the Ind AS
financial statements.
However, if a company has already undertaken certain CSR activity for which an obligation
has been created, for example, by entering into a contractual obligation, or either a con-
structive obligation has arisen during the year, then in accordance with Ind AS 37, a pro-
vision for the amount of such CSR obligation, should be recognised in the Ind AS financial
statements.
14 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

QUESTION 8

ABC Ltd is a Company which is covered under the ambit of CSR rules. As part of its CSR
contribution an amount of INR 15,00,000 was spent as CSR expense towards the educa-
tion of girl child. The average net profit of the company for the past three years was INR
70,00,000. As the Company incurred a CSR expense in excess of what is required by the
rules, it decided to utilise this expense as a carry forward to the next year and reduce next
year‛s CSR spend by INR 1,00,000.
Required
Can the excess expenditure towards CSR be carried forward to next financial year?

SOLUTION
There is no provision for carrying forward the excess CSR expenditure spent in a particular
year. Any expenditure over 2% could be considered as voluntary higher CSR spend for that
year.
Supply of Manufactured Goods/ Services by an Entity
In some cases, a company may supply goods manufactured by it or render services as CSR
activities. In such cases, the expenditure incurred should be recognised when the control
on the goods manufactured by it is transferred or the allowable services are rendered by
the employees.
 The goods manufactured by the company should be valued in accordance with the prin-
ciples prescribed in Accounting Standard (AS) 2, Valuation of Inventories.
 The services rendered should be measured at cost. Indirect taxes (like excise duty,
service tax, VAT or other applicable taxes) on the goods and services so contributed will
also form part of the CSR expenditure.
 Where a company receives a grant from others for carrying out CSR activities, the CSR
expenditure should be measured net of the grant.

QUESTION 9

After the havoc caused by flood in Jammu and Kashmir, a group of companies undertakes
during the period from October, 20X1 to December, 20X1 various commercial activities,
with considerable concessions/discounts, along the related affected areas. The manage-
ment intends to highlight the expenditure incurred on such activities as expenditure in-
curred on activities undertaken to discharge corporate social responsibility, while publish-
ing its financial statements for the year 20X1-20X2.
Required
State whether the management‛s intention is correct or not and why?
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 15

SOLUTION
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reporting is an information communiqué with respect
to discharge of social responsibilities of corporate entity. Through ‘CSR Report‛ the corpo-
rate enterprises disclose the manner in which they are discharging their social responsibil-
ities. More specifically, it is addressed to the public or society at large, although it can be
squarely used by other user groups also.
Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 mandated the companies fulfilling the criteria men-
tioned in the said section to spend certain amount of their profit on activities as specified
in the Schedule VII to the Act. Companies not falling within that criteria can also spend
on CSR activities voluntarily. However, besides the requirements of constitution of a CSR
committee and a CSR policy, the corporate entities should also take care that expenditure
incurred for CSR should not be the expenditure incurred for the activities in the ordinary
course of business. If expenditure incurred is for the activities in the ordinary course of
business, then it will not be qualified as expenditure incurred on CSR activities.
Here, it is assumed that the commercial activities performed at concessional rates are
the activities done in the ordinary course of business of the companies. Therefore, the
intention of the management to highlight the expenditure incurred on such commercial ac-
tivities in its financial statements as the expenditure incurred on activities undertaken to
discharge CSR, is not correct.

CONCEPT 6 : CSR EXPENDITURE IN THE INCOME TAX SCENARIO


1. CSR expenditure, being an application of income, is not incurred wholly and exclusively
for the purposes of carrying on business. As the application of income is not allowed
as deduction for the purposes of computing taxable income of a company, amount
spent on CSR cannot be allowed as deduction for computing the taxable income of the
company.
2. Based on the Explanatory Memorandum to the Bill, the CSR expenditure which is of
the nature described in section 30 to section 36 of the Income-tax Act shall be al-
lowed as deduction under those sections subject to fulfilment of conditions, if any,
specified therein. If the nature of CSR expenditure incurred is not covered under the
aforesaid sections of the Act and is covered under section 37(1) of the Act, being a
general deduction, the same is proposed to be disallowed by the Bill.

QUESTION 10

ABC Ltd. carries out CSR activities from rented premises in Pune. The rent paid for such
premises is disclosed as CSR expenditure and subsequently ABC Ltd. also claimed deduction
of the same under the Income-tax Act. Is this permissible?
16 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

SOLUTION
Based on the Explanatory Memorandum to the Bill, CSR expenditure which is of the nature
described under the section 30 to 36 of the Income-tax Act shall be allowed as a deduc-
tion. Rent expenses can be claimed under section 30 of the Act and hence it can be claimed
as a deduction.

CONCEPT 7: CESSATION FROM COMPLIANCE OF CSR


Every company which ceases to be a company covered under sub- section (1) of section 135
of the Act for three consecutive financial years shall not be required to –
a) constitute a CSR Committee; and
b) comply with the provisions contained in sub-section (2) to (5) of the said section‛ till
such time it meets the criteria specified in sub-section (1) of section 135.
Analysis
Four year lock-in period for a company fulfilling a CSR criterion in one year It may be noted
that once a company has fulfilled the net worth / turnover / net profit criterion for one
year it has to fulfil its CSR obligations for the subsequent three financial years, even if it
does not fulfil any of these criteria in those years.
For example, if ABC Ltd. fulfils the turnover criterion under section 135(1) in the financial
year 20X1-X2, it would continue to be within the scope of section 135(1) for the three fi-
nancial years from 20X2 -X3 to 20X3-X4, irrespective of fulfilment or otherwise of any
criterion in those years. If it has not fulfilled any of the three criteria in the three subse-
quent financial years, it would be outside the scope of CSR in the financial year 20X5-X6.
If in any of the three intermittent years, its average net profit figure is negative, it need
not comply with the CSR requirement for that year.

QUESTIONS

1. A property is being constructed to operate CSR activities by a company. At the balance


sheet date, the cost of construction is treated as revenue expenditure. Are there any
additional disclosures required in the financials regarding this?
2. In the year 20X1, XYZ Ltd. falls within the purview of CSR provisions as per the Com-
panies Act, 2013 since its net profit for the financial year exceeded ` 5 crore. The com-
pany discharged CSR obligations in the year 20X2. However, the net profit of the year
20X2 was less than ` 5 crores. Also, it was also not satisfying the other two criteria of
the section 135 for CSR compliance. Therefore, the company stopped performing CSR
activities from the year 20X3 onwards. Comment on the company‛s accountability for
CSR.

ANSWERS
1. Item 5 (a) of the General Instructions for Preparation of Statement of Profit and Loss
under Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, requires that in case of companies
covered under Section 135, the amount of expenditure incurred on ‘Corporate Social Re-
sponsibility Activities‛ shall be disclosed by way of a note to the statement of profit and
loss. The note should also disclose the details with regard to the expenditure incurred
in construction of a capital asset under a CSR project.
2. Once a company has fulfilled the net worth / turnover / net profit criterion for one year
it has to fulfil its CSR obligations for the subsequent three financial years, even if it
does not fulfil any of these criteria in those years.
In the given case XYZ Ltd. falls in the ambit of CSR obligations by fulfilling the criteria of
net profit exceeding ` 5 crores in the year 20X1. So it has to discharge its CSR obligations
by spending two percent of its average profit every year starting from 20X2 till 20X4. It
cannot stop spending on CSR activities as per the Act after 20X2.

Examine, whether the company has an obligation to form a CSR committee since the
applicability criteria is not satisfied in the current financial year.

 Net worth of ` 500 crore or more, or


 turnover of ` 1,000 crore or more or

preceding financial years by giving preference to the local area and areas around
it where it operates
(f) In case the company fails to spend such amount, the Board shall specify the rea-
sons for not spending the amount.
D. In the given scenario

The MCA has clarified that ‘any financial year‛s referred to under sub-section (1) of
Section 135 of the Act read with Rule 3 (2) of Companies CSR Rules, 2014, implies
“immediately preceding financial year”

A company which meets the ‘net worth‛, ‘turnover‛ or ‘net profits‛ criteria in immedi-
ately preceding financial year, but which does not meet the criteria in the relevant
financial year, is still required to constitute a CSR Committee and comply with provi-
sions of section 135 of the Companies Act. 2013.

As per the criteria to constitute CSR committee-

1) Net worth greater than or equal to ` 500 Crore: This criterion is not satisfied.

2) Sales greater than or equal to ` 1000 Core: This criterion is not satisfied.

3) Net. Profit greater than or equal to ` 5 Crore: This criteria is satisfied in financial
year ended March 31, 2017 when the net profit was ` 8 crore.

QUESTION 2 NEW EXAMINATION NOV-2018

Baby Limited manufactures consumable goods for infants like bath soap, cream, powder,
oil etc. As part of its CSR policy, it has decided that for every pack of these goods sold, `
0.75 will go towards the “ Swachh Bharat Foundation” which will qualify as a CSR spend as
per Schedule VII. Consequently, at the year end, the company sold 40,000 such packs and
a total of 30,000 was recognized as CSR expenditure. However, this amount was not paid
22 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

to the Foundation at the end of the financial year. Will the amount of ` 30,000 qualify to
be CSR expenditure?

SOLUTION
Baby Ltd. has earmarked 75 paise per pack to spend as CSR activities. However, only by
earmarking the amount from such sale for CSR expenditure, the company cannot show it as
CSR expenditure. To qualify the amount as CSR expenditure, it has to be spent. Hence, `
30,000 will not be automatically considered as CSR expenditure till the time it is spent on
CSR activities. i.e it is deposited to Swachh Bharat Foundation‛.
IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT 23

IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT

CORE PRINCIPLE
An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the
economic environments in which it operates.
Accordingly, the objective of segment reporting is to provide financial information on
the different business activities that an entity engages in and the different economic
environments under which it operates to help users of financial statements to:

(a) better understand the entity‛s performance;


(b) better assess its prospects for future net cash flows;
(c) make more informed judgments about the entity as a whole.

SCOPE
This Accounting Standard shall apply to companies to which Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) notified under the Companies Act apply.
If an entity that is not required to apply this Ind AS chooses to disclose information about
segments that does not comply with this Ind AS, it shall not describe the information as
segment information.
If a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent that
is within the scope of this Indian Accounting Standard as well as the parent‛s separate
fina ncial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial
statements.

Operating Segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity:

(a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses
(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity‛s chief operating
decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and
assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn
revenues, for example, start-up operations may be operating segments before earning
revenues. Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of
an operating segment.
24 IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT

For example: A corporate headquarters or some functional departments may not earn
revenues or may earn revenues that are only incidental to the activities of the entity and
would not be operating segments. For the purposes of this Ind AS, an entity‛s post-
employment benefit plans are not operating segments.

Reportable Segments
An entity shall report separately information about each operating segment that:

(a) has been identified or results from aggregating two or more of segments, and
(b) exceeds the quantitative thresholds as specified in the standard.

Aggregation Criteria
Operating segments often exhibit similar long-term financial performance if they have
similar economic characteristics.

Type or class of
customers
Nature of production Methods used to
processes distribute

Nature of product and Aggregation Nature of regulatory


services criteria envoirnment

Quantitative Thresholds
An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of
the following quantitative thresholds:

(a) Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment
sales or transfers, is 10 per cent or more of the combined revenue, internal and
external, of all operating segments.
(b) The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 per cent or more of the
greater, in absolute amount, of
(i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a
loss and
(ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss.
(c) Its assets are 10 per cent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT 25

Note:

1. Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be
considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if management believes that
information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.
2. An entity may combine information about operating segments that do not meet the
quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do
not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable segment only if the
operating segments have similar economic characteristics and share a majority of
the aggregation criteria listed in paragraph 12.
3. If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than
75 per cent of the entity‛s revenue, additional operating segments shall be identified
as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the criteria in paragraph 13) until
at least 75 per cent of the entity‛s revenue is included in reportable segments.

General Information
The Standard requires an entity to report a measure of operating segment profit or loss
and of segment assets. It also requires an entity to report a measure of segment liabilities
and particular income and expense items if such measures are regularly provided to the
chief operating decision maker. It requires reconciliations of total reportable segment
revenues, total profit or loss, total assets, liabilities and other amounts disclosed for
reportable segments to corresponding amounts in the entity‛s financial statements.
The Standard requires an entity to report information about the revenues derived from
its products or services (or groups of similar products and services), about the countri
es in which it earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers, regardless of
whether that information is used by management in making operating decisions. However,
the Standard does not require an entity to report information that is not prepared for
internal use if the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would
be excessive.
The Standard also requires an entity to give descriptive information about the way
the operating segments were determined, the products and services provided by the
segments, differences between the measurements used in reporting segment information
and those used in the entity‛s financial statements, and changes in the measurement of
segment amounts from period to period.
26 IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT

Major Changes in Ind AS 108 vis a vis Notified AS 17

(i) Identification of Segments: Identification of segments under Ind AS 108 is based


on ‘management approach‛ i.e. operating segments are identified based on the internal
reports regularly reviewed by the entity‛s chief operating decision maker. Existing
AS 17 requires identification of two sets of segments; one based on related products
and services, and the other on geographical areas based on the risks and returns
approach. One set is regarded as primary segments and the other as secondary
segments.
(ii) Basis of Measurement for Amounts to be Reported in Segments: Ind AS 108
requires that the amounts reported for each operating segment shall be measured on
the same basis as that used by the chief operating decision maker for the purposes
of allocating resources to the segments and assessing its performance. Existing AS
17 requires segment information to be prepared in conformity with the accounting
policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements. Accordingly,
existing AS 17 also defines segment revenue, segment expense, segment result,
segment assets and segment liabilities.
(iii) Aggregation Criteria: Ind AS 108 specifies aggregation criteria for aggregation
of two or more segments and also requires the related disclosures in this regard.
Existing AS 17 does not deal specifically with this aspect.
(iv) Single Reportable Segment: An explanation has been given in the existing AS 17
that in case there is neither more than one business segment nor more than one
geographical segment, segment information as per this standard is not required
to be disclosed. However, this fact shall be disclosed by way of footnote. Ind AS
108 requires certain disclosures even in case of entities having single reportable
segment.
(v) Interest Expense: An explanation has been given in the existing AS 17 that interest
expense relating to overdrafts and other operating liabilities identified to a
particular segment should not be included as a part of the segment expense. It
also provides that in case interest is included as a part of the cost of inventories and
those inventories are part of segment assets of a particular segment, such interest
should be considered as a segment expense. These aspects are specifically dealt with
keeping in view that the definition of ‘segment expense‛ given in AS 17 excludes
interest. Ind AS 108 requires the separate disclosures about interest revenue and
interest expense of each reportable segment, therefore, these aspects have not
been specifically dealt with.
(vi) Disclosures: Ind AS 108 requires disclosures of revenues from external
customers for each product and service. With regard to geographical information,
it requires the disclosure of revenues from customers in the country of domicile
IND AS-108 OPERATING SEGMENT 27

and in all foreign countries, non-current assets in the country of domicile and all
foreign countries. It also requires disclosure of information about major customers.
Disclosures in existing AS 17 are based on the classification of the segments as
primary or secondary segments. Disclosure requirements for primary segments are
more detailed as compared to secondary segments.

50 INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD 20

Major Changes in Ind AS 20 vis-à-vis Notified AS 12

(i) Government Assistance which does not fall within the Definition of Government Grants:
Ind AS 20 deals with the other forms of government assistance which do not fall within the
definition of government grants. It requires that an indication of other forms of government
assistance from which the entity has directly benefited should be disclosed in the financial
statements. However, AS 12 does not deal with such government assistance.
(ii) Grant in respect of Non Depreciable Assets: AS 12 requires that in case the grant is
in respect of non-depreciable assets, the amount of the grant should be shown as capital
reserve which is a part of shareholders‘ funds. It further requires that if a grant related to
a non-depreciable asset requires the fulfilment of certain obligations, the grant should be
credited to income over the same period over which the cost of meeting such obligations is
charged to income. AS 12 also gives an alternative to treat such grants as a deduction
from the cost of such asset.
As compared to the above, Ind AS 20, is based on the principle that all government
grants would normally have certain obligations attached to them and these grants
should be recognised as income over the periods which bear the cost of meeting the
obligation. It, therefore, specifically prohibits recognition of grants directly in the
shareholders‘ funds .
(iii) Government Grants in the Nature of Promoters Contribution: AS 12 recognises that some
government grants have the characteristics similar to those of promoters‘ contribution.
It requires that such grants should be credited directly to capital reserv e and treated
as a part of shareholders‘ funds. Ind AS 20 does not recognise government grants of
the nature of promoters‘ contribution. As stated at (ii) above, Ind AS 20 is based on the
principle that all government grants would normally have certain obl igations attached to
them and it, accordingly, requires all grants to be recognised as income over the periods
which bear the cost of meeting the obligation.
(iv) Valuation of Non-monetary Grants given Free or at a Concessional Rate: AS 12 requires
that government grants in the form of non-monetary assets, given at a concessional rate,
should be accounted for on the basis of their acquisition cost. In case a non-monetary asset
is given free of cost, it should be recorded at a nominal value. Ind AS 20 requires to value
non-monetary grants at their fair value, since it results into presentation of more relevant
information and is conceptually superior as compared to valuation at a nominal amount.
(v) Accounting for Grant Related to Assets including Non-monetary Grant: Existing AS 12
gives an option to present the grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at
fair value in the balance sheet either by setting up the grant as deferred income or by
deducting the grant from the gross value of asset concerned in arriving at its book value.
Ind AS 20 requires presentation of such grants in balance sheet only by setting up the
INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD 20 51

grant as deferred income. Thus, the option to present such grants by deduction of the
grant in arriving at its book value is not available under Ind AS 20.
(vi) Government Assistance: Ind AS 20 includes Appendix A which deals with Government
Assistance—No Specific Relation to Operating Activities.
(vii) Loans at Concessional Rate: Ind AS 20 requires that loans received from a government that
have a below-market rate of interest should be recognised and measured in accordance with
Ind AS 109 (which requires all loans to be recognised at fair value, thus requiring interest to
be imputed to loans with a below-market rate of interest) whereas AS 12 does not require
so.

refunded to the Government in full. Explain the accounting treatment, under ind as 20.

SOLUTION
1. The above Grant is in the nature of Revenue Grant, since it is for welfare activities for
its Employees. Therefore, when received, it should have been credited to P&L Account.
2. Therefore, in the event of refund, the amount refunded should be debited to P&L
account.

 ₹ 70 lakh received for research and development of drugs required for the treatment
of cardiovascular diseases with following conditions:

(i) That drugs should be available to the public at 20% cheaper from current market
price and

(ii) The drugs should be in accordance with quality prescribed by the Govt. Drug
Control department.

 Three acres of land (fair value; ₹ 20 lakh) received for set up of plant.

 ₹ 4 lakh received for purchase of machinery of ₹ 10 lakh. Useful life of machinery is 4


years. Depreciation on this machinery is to be charged on straight-line basis.

How should Mediquick Ltd. recognize the government grants in its books of accounts as per
relevant Ind AS?

SOLUTION
Mediquick Ltd. should recognise the grants in the following manner:
 ₹ 50 lakhs have been received for immediate start-up of business. This should be
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss immediately as there are no conditions
attached to the grant.

 ₹ 70 lakhs should be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods
in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are
intended to compensate. However, for this compliance, there should be reasonable
assurance that Mediquick Ltd. complies with the conditions attached to the grant.
58 INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD 20

 Land should be recognised at fair value of ₹ 20 lakhs and government grants should be
presented in the balance sheet by setting up the grant as deferred income.

Alternatively, since the land is granted at no cost, it may be presented in the books
at nominal value.
 ₹ 4 lakhs should be recognised as deferred income and will be transferred to profit
and loss account over the useful life of the asset. In this cases, ₹ 1,00,000 [ ₹ 4 lakhs/
4 years] should be credited to profit and loss account each year over the period of 4
years.

Alternatively, ₹ 4,00,000 will be deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciation
will be charged at reduced amount of ₹ 6,00,000 (₹ 10,00,000 – ₹ 4,00,000) i.e. ₹
1,50,000 each year.

required to be disclosed?
Adhiram Ltd. has a Corporate Communications Department, which centralizes the Pubic
Relations functions for the whole group of Adhiram Ltd. and its Subsidiaries. No charges
are however, levied by Adhiram Ltd. on its Subsidiaries and accordingly, these transactions

obligations between related parties, regardless of whether or not a price is charged”.
2. Conclusion: In the given example, there is a transfer of resources from Adhiram Ltd.

should be treated any differently from any other sale made by the Company despite being
made to a Controlled Company, because the sales were made at normal and, that too, at
arms length price. Comment.

SOLUTION

Lakhs from Weak Ltd. during the Financial year. The Managing Director of Strong Ltd. is
of the opinion that it is normal business activity and there is no need to disclose the same
in the final accounts of the Company. Give your views of the above.

proper disclosure as required by IND AS 24 and if the Management refuses, the
Auditor should express a qualified opinion.

QUESTION NO 7

Is Remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel or Non-Executive Director on the Board

Karuna Ltd. enters into transactions in the ordinary course of business with Arun Ltd.
Would Karuna Ltd. be a Related Party of Arun Ltd.?

(3) Are C Ltd. and D Ltd. are Related Parties?
SOLUTION

1. Associates and Joint Ventures of the Reporting Enterprise are Related Parties. Since
A Ltd. holds more than 20% of the voting power in B Ltd. by virtue of this, it has
substantial interest and significant influence in B Ltd. So B Ltd. is an Associate, and
hence is Related Party to A Ltd.
IND AS-24 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES 65

Companies be considered to be Related parties on this account?

Companies as he is one of “those persons who have the authority and the responsibility
for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Reporting Enterprise”.

is not sufficient to classify enterprises as Related Parties. The ability to exercise
significant influence should exist during the reporting period.

not be regarded as Related Parties. There must be exercise of significant influence of
one of the other.

Major Changes in Ind AS 24 vis-à-vis


IAS 24 Not Resulting in Carve Outs

1. Confidentially: In Ind AS 24, disclosures which conflict with confidentiality requirements


of statute/regulations are not required to be made since Accounting Standards cannot
override legal/regulatory requirements.
2. Additional Clarificatory Guidance Regarding Aggregation of Transactions: Paragraph 24A
(reproduced below) has been included in the Ind AS 24. It provides additional clarificatory
guidance regarding aggregation of transactions for disclosure.
―24A Disclosure of details of particular transactions with individual related parties
would frequently be too voluminous to be easily understood. Accordingly, items of a
similar nature may be disclosed in aggregate by type of related party. However, th is
is not done in such a way as to obscure the importance of significant transactions.
Hence, purchases or sales of goods are not aggregated with purchases or sales of
fixed assets. Nor a material related party transaction with an individual party is
clubbed in an aggregated disclosure.
3. Modification of Paragraph 14: Paragraph 14 of Ind AS 24 has been modified to explain the
rationale for disclosing related party relationship when control exists.
4. Management Contracts Including for Deputation or Employees: In Ind AS 24, ‗(k)
management contracts including for deputation or employees‘ has been added in the example
of transactions that are disclosed if they are with related party.
5. Definition of Close Members of the Family of a Person: ‘Definition of close members

in the category of family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced.

INTEGRATED REPORTING 73

INTEGRATED REPORTING

CONCEPT 1: ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE/ ISSUING AUTHORITY


Integrated Reporting (<IR>) is a concept first introduced in South Africa. Later on, this
concept travelled to many countries like German, France, Spain, Brazil and UK and integrated
reporting was made along with their financial statements in one or the other manner. In
2010, the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) was set up which aims to create
the globally accepted integrated reporting framework.
The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) is a global coalition of:
 Regulators
 Investors
 Companies
 Standard setters
 The accounting profession and NGOs
Together, this coalition shares the view that communication about value creation should
be the next step in the evolution of corporate reporting. With this purpose they issued the
International Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework. The framework has been developed
keeping in mind the greater flexibility to be given to the entity and the management in the
reporting but at the same time should target to report the value created by the organisation
through various capital.
Integrated Reporting as the name suggest will integrate both financial and non- financial
information. In future, it will become the only report to be issued by the organisation.

CONCEPT2: INTEGRATED REPORTING <IR>?


Integrated reporting is a concept that has been created to better articulate the broader
range of measures that contribute to long -term value and the role organizations play in
society. Integrated Reporting is enhancing the way organizations think, plan and report the
story of their business. Central to this is the proposition that value is increasingly shaped
by factors additional to financial performance, such as reliance on the environment, social
reputation, human capital skills and others.
This value creation concept is the backbone of integrated reporting and is the direction
for the future of corporate reporting. In addition to financial capital, integrated reporting
examines five additional capitals that should guide an organization‛s decision-making and
long-term success — its value creation in the broadest sense.
74 INTEGRATED REPORTING

“Integrated Reporting reflects how our company thinks and does business. This approach
allows us to discuss material issues facing our business and communities and show how we
create value, for shareholders and for society as a whole. ”Dimitris Lois, CEO, Coca-
Cola HBC

Organizations are using <IR> to communicate a clear, concise, integrated story that explains
how all of their resources are creating value. <IR> is helping businesses to think holistically
about their strategy and plans, make informed decisions and manage key risks to build
investor and stakeholder confidence and improve future performance.
Integrated Reporting (<IR>) promotes a more cohesive and efficient approach to corporate
reporting and aims to improve the quality of information available to providers of financial
capital to enable a more efficient and productive allocation of capital.
Integrated Reporting (<IR>) is shaped by a diverse coalition including business leaders and
investors to drive a global evolution in corporate reporting.
An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization‛s:
 Strategy
 Governance
 Performance And
 Prospects
in the context of its external environment
It leads to the creation of value over:
 Short
 Medium And
 Long term

It‛s a portal by which the organisation communicates a holistic view of:


 Its Current position
 Where it‛s going And
 How it intends to get there
The report enables readers to make an assessment of the organisation‛s ability to create
value in the future, with value creation referring to the value created for both the
organisation and for others.
INTEGRATED REPORTING 75

PURPOSE OF INTEGRATED REPORTING


The primary purpose of an integrated report is to explain to providers of financial capital
how an organization creates value over time.
An integrated report benefits all stakeholders interested in an organization‛s ability to
create value over time, including:
 Employees
 Customers
 Suppliers
 Business partners
 Local communities
 Legislators
 Regulators and
 Policy-makers

CONCEPT 3: THE CAPITALS


The capitals are stocks of value that are increased, decreased or transformed through the
activities and outputs of the organization.
This is interrelated with the value the organization creates for stakeholders and society
at large through a wide range of activities, interactions and relationships. When these are
material to the organization‛s ability to create value for itself, they are included in the
integrated report.
The concept of capitals seeks to assist an organisation in identifying all the resources and
relationships it uses and affects to report in a comprehensive manner.
The Framework has categorise the capital into 6 main forms. However, at the same time,
it stresses upon that not necessary the same categorisation of capital be followed by the
entities in their integrated reporting.

CAPITAL

Financial Manufactured Intellectual Human Social and Relationship Natural


76 INTEGRATED REPORTING

Financial Capital
The pool of funds
 available to an organization for use in the production of goods or the provision of services
 obtained through financing, such as:
 Debt, equity or grants; or
 Generated through operations or investments

Manufactured Capital
Manufactured physical objects (as distinct from natural physical objects) that are available
to an organization for use in the production of goods or the provision of services, including:
 Buildings
 Equipment
 Infrastructure (such as roads, ports, bridges, and waste and water treatment plants)

Note: Manufactured capital is often created by other organizations, but includes assets
manufactured by the reporting organization for sale or when they are retained for its
own use.

Intellectual Capital
Organizational, knowledge-based intangibles, including:
 Intellectual property, such as patents, copyrights, software, rights and licences
 “Organizational capital” such as tacit knowledge, systems, procedures and protocols

Human Capital
People‛s competencies, capabilities and experience, and their motivations to innovate,
including their:
 Alignment with and support for an organization‛s governance framework, risk management
approach, and ethical values
 Ability to understand, develop and implement an organization‛s strategy
 Loyalties and motivations for improving processes, goods and services, including their
ability to lead, manage and collaborate
INTEGRATED REPORTING 77

Social and Relationship Capital


The institutions and the relationships within and between communities, groups of
stakeholders and other networks, and the ability to share information to enhance individual
and collective well-being.
Social and relationship capital includes:
 Shared norms, and common values and behavior
 Key stakeholder relationships, and the trust and willingness to engage that an organization
has developed and strives to build and protect with external stakeholders
 Intangibles associated with the brand and reputation that an organization has developed
 An organization‛s social licence to operate

Natural Capital
All renewable and non-renewable environmental resources and processes that provide goods
or services that support the past, current or future prosperity of an organization.
It includes:
 Air, water, land, minerals and forests
 Biodiversity and eco-system health

Note: Not all capitals are equally relevant or applicable to all organizations. While most
organizations interact with all capitals to some extent, these interactions might be
relatively minor or so indirect that they are not sufficiently important to include in the
integrated report.

CONCEPT 4: CONTENTS OF INTEGRATED REPORTING


An integrated report includes the eight Content Elements.
The Content Elements are fundamentally linked to each other and are not mutually exclusive.
The order of the Content Elements is not the only way they could be sequenced.
The Content Elements are not intended to serve as a standard structure for an integrated
report with information about them appearing in a set sequence or as isolated, standalone
sections. Rather, information in an integrated report is presented in a way that makes the
connections between the Content Elements apparent.
The content of an organization‛s integrated report will depend on the individual circumstances
of the organization. The Content Elements are therefore stated in the form of questions
rather than as checklists of specific disclosures. Accordingly, judgement needs to be
78 INTEGRATED REPORTING

exercised in applying the Guiding Principles to determine what information is reported, as


well as how it is reported.
The eight content elements suggested by the Framework are:

Organizational Overview and External Environment


Question to be answered through this element in the integrated reporting is
“What does the organisation do and what are
the circumstances under which it operates?”

Organisational Overview
An integrated report identifies the organization‛s mission and vision, and provides essential
context by identifying matters such as:

A. The organization‛s:
 Culture, ethics and values
 Ownership and operating structure
 Principal activities and markets
 Competitive landscape and market positioning (considering factors such as the threat
of new competition and substitute products or services, the bargaining power of
customers and suppliers, and the intensity of competitive rivalry)
 Position within the value chain

B. KQI: Key quantitative information


Example:
 Number of employees
 Revenue
 Number of countries in which the organization operates
 Highlighting, in particular, significant changes from prior periods

C. Significant factors
 Significant factors affecting the external environment and the organization‛s response

External Environment
Significant factors affecting the external environment include aspects of:
 Legal
 Commercial
INTEGRATED REPORTING 79

 Social
 Environmental
 Political context
That affects the organization‛s ability to create value in the short, medium or long term

Legal

Environmental Commercial
Inventories
are assets

Political Social

Note: They can affect the organization directly or indirectly (e.g., by influencing the
availability, quality and affordability of a capital that the organization uses or affects).

Governance
Question to be answered through this element in the integrated reporting is
“How does the organisation‛s governance structure support
its ability to create value in the short, medium and long term?”
An integrated report provides insight about how such matters as the following are linked to
its ability to create value:
 The organization‛s leadership structure, including the skills and diversity (e.g., range of
backgrounds, gender, competence and experience) of those charged with governance
and whether regulatory requirements influence the design of the governance structure.
 Specific processes used to make strategic decisions and to establish and monitor the
culture of the organization, including its attitude to risk and mechanisms for addressing
integrity and ethical issues
 Particular actions those charged with governance have taken to influence and monitor
the strategic direction of the organization and its approach to risk management
 How the organization‛s culture, ethics and values are reflected in its use of and
effects on the capitals, including its relationships with key stakeholders.

Inputs
An integrated report shows how key inputs relate to the capitals on which the organization
depends, or that provide a source of differentiation for the organization, to the extent
they are material to understanding the robustness and resilience of the business model.

Business Activities
An integrated report describes key business activities. This can include:

point of sale
Example
Extended warranty arrangements or network usage charges
 How the organization approaches the need to innovate?
 How the business model has been designed to adapt to change?

Outputs
An integrated report identifies an organization‛s key products and services. There might
be other outputs, such as by -products and waste (including emissions), that need to be
discussed within the business model disclosure depending on their materiality.

Outcomes
An integrated report describes key outcomes, including:
 Both internal outcomes (e.g., employee morale, organizational reputation, revenue and
cash flows) and external outcomes (e.g., customer satisfaction, tax payments, brand
loyalty, and social and environmental effects)
 Both positive outcomes (i.e., those that result in a net increase in the capitals and
thereby create value) and negative outcomes (i.e., those that result in a net decrease
in the capitals and thereby diminish value).

Risks and Opportunities


Question to be answered through this element in the integrated reporting is
“What are the specific risks and opportunities that affect
the organisation‛s ability to create value over the short, medium
and long-term, and how is the organisation dealing with them?”

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA (SEBI)


SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2017/10 February 6, 2017 has advised
top 500 companies [to whom Business Responsibility Report (‘BRR‛) have been mandated
under Regulation 34(2)(f) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations 2015 (“SEBI LODR”)], to adopt Integrated Reporting on a voluntary basis from
the financial year 2017-18.
The objective behind recommending voluntary adoption of Integrated Reporting is to improve
disclosure standards. An integrated report aims to provide a concise communication about
how an organisation‛s strategy, governance, performance and prospects create value over
time so that interested stakeholders may make investment decisions accordingly. Today an
investor seeks both financial as well as non-financial information to take a well-informed
investment decision.
Therefore, towards the objective of improving disclosure standards, in consultation with
industry bodies and stock exchanges, the listed entities are advised to adhere to the
following:

(a) The information related to Integrated Reporting may be provided in the annual report
separately or by incorporating in Management Discussion & Analysis or by preparing a
separate report (annual report prepared as per IR framework).
(b) In case the company has already provided the relevant information in any other report
prepared in accordance with national/international requirement / framework, it may
provide appropriate reference to the same in its Integrated Report so as to avoid
duplication of information.
(c) As a green initiative, the companies may host the Integrated Report on their website
and provide appropriate reference to the same in their Annual Report.
INTEGRATED REPORTING 85

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Theoretical Questions
1. State the categories defined in the International IR Framework for capitals. Comment
whether an organisation has to follow these categories rigidly.
2. Can a Not-for Profit organisation do the Integrated Reporting as per the Framework?
3. Can an integrated reporting be done in compliance to the requirements of the local laws
to prepare a management commentary or other reports?

Answer to Theoretical Questions

1. Various categories of capital are:


  Financial
  Manufactured
  Intellectual
  Human
  Social and Relationship
  Natural
Organizations preparing an integrated report are not required to adopt this
categorization or to structure their report along the above lines of the capitals.
2. The Framework is written primarily in the context of private sector, for-profit
companies of any size but it can also be applied, adapted as necessary, by public sector
and not-for-profit organizations.
3. An integrated report may be prepared in response to existing compliance requirements.
For example, an organization may be required by local law to prepare a management
commentary or other report that provides context for its financial statements. If
that report is also prepared in accordance with this Framework it can be considered
an integrated report. If the report is required to include specified information beyond
that required by this Framework, the report can still be considered an integrated
report if that other information does not obscure the concise information required by
this Framework.

NOTES
IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE 87

IND AS-41 AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES

Ind AS 41 addresses following key issues:


(a) When should a biological asset or agricultural produce be recognised on the Balance
sheet?
(b) At what value should a recognised biological asset or agricultural produce be
measured?
(c) How should the differences in value of a recognised biological asset or agricultural
produce
(d) What should be the key disclosures?

CONCEPT 1: COVERAGE OF IND AS 41


This standard shall be applied to account for the following when they relate to agricultural
activity:

(a) Biological assets;


(b) Agricultural produce at the point of harvest: and
(c) Government grants

CONCEPT 2: OUT OF SCOPE OF IND AS 41

(a) Land related to agricultural activity: for example, the land on which the biological
assets grow, regenerate and/or degenerate (Ind AS 16 property, plant and Equipment
and Ind As 40 investment property);
(b) Bearer plants relate to agricultural activity. Such bearer plants covered within the
scope of Ind AS 16, property, plant and Equipment as accounted as per the provisions
of that standard. However, this standard applies to the produce on those bearer
plants.
(c) Intangible assets associated with the agricultural activity. For licenses and rights
are covered under Ind AS 38 intangible assets and provisions of this standard will be
applicable.

This standard is applied to agricultural produce. Which is the harvested product of the
entity‛s biological assets, only at the POINT of harvest. Thereafter, Ind AS 2 or another
applicable standard is applied
88 IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE

Example:
Processing of grapes into wine by a vintner who has grown the grapes while such processing
may be a logical and natural extension of agricultural activity. And the events place may
dear some similarity to biological transformation, such processing is not included within
the definition of agriculrtrual activity in this standard.
Example:
Agriculture produce after the point of harvest, for example wool, ,eat, frit rubber, logs
that are processed subsequently are not covered within Proview of this standard and Ind
as 2 inventories will apply.

The table below provides examples of biological assets. , agricultural produce, and products
that are the result of processing after harvest:

Biological assets Agricultural produce Products that the result


of processing after
harvest
Sheep Wool Felled Trees Yarn, carpet
Trees in a timber plantation Felled Trees Logs, lumber
Dairy cattle Milk Cheese
Pigs Carcass Sausages, cured hams
Cotton plants Harvested cotton Thread, clothing
Sugarcane Harvested cane Sugar
Tobacco plants Picked leaves Cured tobacco

Tea bushes Picked leaves Tea


Grape vines Picked grapes Wine

CONCEPT 3: DEFINITIONS
The following are the key agriculture-related definitions:

(a) Agricultural activity refers to the management by an entity of the biological


transformation and harvest of biological assets for sale or for conversion into
agricultural produce or into additional assets.
(b) Biological Asset is defined as a living animal or plant.
(c) Biological transformation comprises the processes of growth, degeneration, production,
and procreation that cause qualitative or qualitative changes in biological asset.
IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE 89

Of agricultural
in quantity or the quantity or Creation of
produce such as
improvement in deterioration in additional living
latex, tea leaf
quality of an quality or an animals or plants
wool, milk
animal or plant) animal or plant

(d) Agricultural produce is the harvested product of the entity‛s biological assets.
(e) Harvest is the detachment of produce form a biological asset or the cessation of a
biological asset‛s life processes.
(f) 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 definition of Fair is as given in Ind AS 113, Fair value measurement)
(g) Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an
asset. excluding finance costs and income taxes.
(h) Bearer plant may be defined as a living plant that:
I. is used in the production of supply of agricultural produce:
II. is expected to bear produce for more than one period; and
III. has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental
scrap sales.
For example , tea bushes, grape vines, oil palms and rubber trees, usually meet the definition
of a bearer plant and are outside the scope Ind AS 41 and covered under Ind AS 16.

EXAMPLE

ABC Ltd grows vines, harvests the grapes and produces wine. Which of these activities are
in the scope of Ind AS 41?
90 IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE

SOLUTION

The grape vines are bearer plants that continually generate corps of grapes which are
covered by Ind AS 16, property, plant and Equipment.
When the entity harvests the grapes, their biological transformation ceases and they
become agricultural produce covered by Ind AS 41, Agriculture.
Vine involves a lengthy maturation period. This process is similar to the conversion of raw
materials to a finished product rather than biological transformation hence treated as
inventory in accordance with Ind As 2, inventories.

CONCEPT 4: RECOGNITION OF BIOLOGICAL ASSETS


Entities are required to recognise a biological asset or agricultural produce when, and only
when, all of the following conditions are met:

a) the entity controls the assent as a result of past events; (Control over biological assets
or agricultural produce may be evidenced by legal ownership or rights to control, for
example legal ownership of cattle and the branding or otherwise marking of the cattle
on acquisition, birth, or weaning)
b) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will to the
entity and
Future economic benefits are expected to flow is its ownership or control of the
asset. The future benefits are normally assessed by measuring the significant physical
attributes.
c) The fair value or cost of the asset con be measured reliably.

CONCEPT 5: MEASUREMENT OF BIOLOGICAL ASSETS


Biological Asset should be measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting
period at its value less costs to sell, except for the case where the fair value cannot be
measured reliably.
There is a presumption that fair value can be measured reliably for a biological assent.
In the following cases biological asset should be measured at it cost less any accumulated
depreciation. And any accumulated impairment losses in accordance with Ind AS 16 AS 36:

 quoted market prices are not available for the biological assets unreliable
 alternative fair value measurements are determined to be clearly unreliable.
IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE 91

Once the fair value of such a biological asset becomes reliably measurable, an entity shall
measure it at its fair value costs to sell.

The presumption can be rebutted only on initial recognition. An entity that has previously
measured a biological asset at its fair value less costs to sell continues to measure the
biological asset at its fair value costs to sell until disposal.
In all cases, an entity measures agricultural produce at the point of harvest at its fair
value less costs to sell. This standard reflects the view that the value of agricultural
produce at the point of harvest can always be measured reliably.

CONCEPT 6: MEASUREMENT OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE


Agricultural produce harvested from an entity‛s biological assents should be measured at
its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. Such measurement is the cost at
that date when applying Ind AS 2 or another applicable Standard.
The fair value measurement of a biological asset or agricultural produce may be facilitated
by grouping biological assets or agricultural produce according to significant attributes; for
example, by age or quality. An entity selects the selects the attributes corresponding to
the attributes used in the market as a basis for pricing.
The fair value less cost to sell of a biological asset can change due to both physical changes
and price changes in the market.
Entities often inter into contacts to sell their biological assets or agricultural produce at a
future date. Contract prices are not necessarily relevant in measuring fair value, because
fair value reflects the current market conditions in which market participant buyers and
sellers would enter
Into a transaction. As a result, the fair value of a biological asset or agricultural produce is
not adjusted because of the existence of a contract.
Cost may sometimes approximate fair value, particularly when:

(a) little biological transformation has taken place since initial cost incurrence (for
example, for fruit tree seedlings planted immediately prior to the end of a reporting
period or newly acquired livestock):or
(b) the impact of the biological transformation on price is not expected to be material
(for example, for initial growth in a 30- year pine plantation cycle)
Biological assets are often physically attached to land (for example, trees in a plantation
forest).There may be no separate market for biological assets that are attached to
the land but an active market may exist for the combined assets, that is, the biological
assets, raw land, and land improvements, as a package. An entity may use information
92 IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE

regarding the combined assets to measure the fair value of the biological assets. For
example, the fair value of raw land and land improvement may be deducted from the
fair of the combined assets to arrive at the fair value of biological assets.

QUESTION NO 1

A farmer owned a dairy herd, of three years old cattle as at April 1, 20X1 With a fair value
of ` 13,750 and the number of cattle in the herd was 250.
The fair value of three year cattle as at March 31, 20X2 was `60 per cattle. The fair of
four year cattle as at March 31,20X2 is ` 75 per cattle.
Calculate the measurement of group of cattle as at March 31, 20X2 Stating price and
physical change separately.

QUESTION NO 2

XYZ ltd, on 1 December 20X3, purchased 100 sheep‛s from a market for ` 500,000 with a
transaction cost of 2% on market price of sheep was incurred which was paid by the seller.
sheep‛s fair value increased from ` 500,000 to ` 600,000 on 31 March 20X4. Transaction
cost would have to be incurred by the seller to get sheep to the relevant market.
Determine the fair value on the date of purchase and reporting date and pass journal
entries thereon.

CONCEPT 7: GAINS AND LOSSES

1) Biological Asset:
A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of a Biological Asset at fair val8ue less casts to
sell and from a change in fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset shall be included
in profit or Loss for the period in which it arises.
A loss may arise on initial recognition of a biological asset, because cost to sell are deducted
in determining fair value less cost to sell of a biological asset. A gain may arise on initial
recognition of a biological asset, such as when a calf is born,

EXAMPLE:

During the reporting period 20X1-20X2, an entity is having a cow which has given birth to a
calf. The fair value less estimated cost to sell for a calf is ` 5,000. The amount of ` 5,000
is, therefore, immediately recognised in Statement of profit or Loss,

2) Agriculture produce:
A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of Agricultural produce at Fair value less costs
IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE 93

to sell shall be included in profit of Loss for the period in which it arises.
A gain or loss may arise on initial recognition of agricultural produce as result of harvesting.

CONCEPT 8: GOVERNMENT GRANTS

1) Biological Asset measured at fair value less cost to sell.


a) Unconditional Grant
An unconditional government grant related to a biological asset measured at its
fair value less costs to sell shall be recognised in profit or Loss when, and only
when, the government grant becomes receivable.
b) Conditional Grant:
If a government grant related to a biological asset measured at its fair value less
costs to sell is conditional, including when a government grant requires an entity
not to engage to in specified agricultural activity, an entity shall recognise the
government grant in profit or loss when, and only when, the conditions attaching
to the government grant are met.

Terms and conditions of government grants vary. For example, a grant may require
an entity to farm in a particular location for five years. And require the entity to
return the entire grant if it farms for a period shorter than five years. In this
case, the grant is not recognised in profit or Loss until the five years have passed.
However, If the terms of the grant allow part of it to be retained according to
the time elapse, the entity recognises that part in profit or loss as time passes.

EXAMPLE:

Sun Ltd cultivated huge plot of land.The government offers a grant of ` 10 core under the
condition that the land is being cultivated for 5 years. If the land will be cultivated for
a shorter period, the entity is required to return the entire grant.
Therefore, the government grant will be recognised as income only after 5 years of
cultivation. The situation would be different if the returning obligation referred to the
years of not cultivating the land is with respect to retention of grant for the period
tell which the entity has cultivated the land. In this case, the amount of ` 10 crore
would be recognised as income, proportionately with the time period, meaning ` 2
crore per annum.

2) Biological Asset measured at its cost:-


If a government grant relates to a Biological asset measured at its cost less any
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. i.e (i.e inability to
measure fair value reliably), Ind AS 20 is applied.

CONCEPT 8:DISCLOSURE

1) Description of biological assets and activates.


The entity is required to a description of each group of biological assent. This disclosure
may take the form of a narrative or quantified description. An entity is encouraged
to provide a quantified description of each group of biological asset, distinguishing
between consumable and bearer biological assets or between mature and immature
biological assets, as appropriate.
2) Gains and losses recognised during the period
An entity shall disclose the aggregate gain or loss arising during the current period on
initial recognition of biological assets and agricultural produce and from the change in
fair value less costs to sell of biological assets.
3) Reconciliation of changes in biological assets.
A detailed reconciliation is required of changes in the carrying in the carrying amount
of biological assets between the beginning and the end of the current period, which
includes:
a) gain or loss arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell;
b) Increases arising from purchases;
c) Decreases attributable to sales and biological assets classified as held for sale
(or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance
with Ind AS 105;
d) Decreases due to harvest;
e) Increases resulting from business combinations;
f) net exchange differences arising on the translation of financial statements into
a different presentation currency, and on the translation of foreign operation
into the presentation currency to the reporting entity; and
g) Other changes.
IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE 95

4) Restricted assets, commitments and risk management strategies.


The entity should disclose:
a) The existence and carrying amounts of biological assets whose title is restricted,
and the carrying amount of biological assets pledged as security for liabilities;
b) The amount of commitments for the development or acquisition of biological
assets; and
c) Financial risk management strategies related to agricultural activity.
5) Additional disclosures when fair value cannot be measured reliably.
If biological assets within the scope of Ind AS 41 are measured at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses at the end of the
period, the following disclosures are required:
a) A description of the biological assets;
b) An explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably;
c) The range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie;
d) The depreciation method use;
e) The useful lives or the depreciation rates used; and
f) The gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses at the beginning and end of the period.
6) Government grants
The following disclosures are required for government grants relating to agricultural
activity;
a) The nature and extent of government grants recognised;
b) Unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to government grants;
and
c) Significant decreases expected in the level of government grants.

EXTRA QUESTIONS ON IND AS – 41


QUESTION 1

ABC Ltd grows vines, harvests the grapes and produces wine. Which of these activities are
in the scope of Ind AS 41?

SOLUTION
The grape vines are bearer plants that continually generate crops of grapes which are
covered by Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment.
When the entity harvests the grapes, their biological transformation ceases and they
become agricultural produce covered by Ind AS 41, Agriculture.
Wine involves a lengthy maturation period. This process is similar to the conversion of raw
materials to a finished product rather than biological transformation hence treated as
inventory in accordance with Ind AS 2, Inventories.

QUESTION 2

As at 31st March, 20X1, a plantation consists of 100 Pines trees that were planted 10
years earlier. The tree takes 30 years to mature, and will ultimately be processed into
building material for houses or furniture. The enterprise‛s weighted average cost of
capital is 6% p.a.
Only mature trees have established fair values by reference to a quoted price in an
active market. The fair value (inclusive of current transport costs to get 100 logs to
market) for a mature tree of the same grade as in the plantation is:
As at 31st March, 20X1: 171
As at 31st March, 20X2: 165
Assume that there would be immaterial cash flow between now and point of harvest. The
present value factor of ` 1 @ 6% for
19th year = 0.331 20th year = 0.312
State the value of such plantation as on 31st March, 20X1 and 20X2 and the gain or loss to
be recognised as per Ind AS.

SOLUTION
As at 31st March, 20X1, the mature plantation would have been valued at 17,100 (171 x
100). As at 31st March, 20X2, the mature plantation would have been valued at 16,500
(165 x 100).
100 IND AS-41 AGRICULTURE

Assuming immaterial cash flow between now and the point of harvest, the fair value (and
therefore the amount reported as an asset on the statement of financial position) of the
plantation is estimated as follows:
As at 31st March, 20X1: 17,100 x 0.312 = 5,335.20.
As at 31st March, 20X2: 16,500 x 0.331 = 5,461.50.
Gain or loss
The difference in fair value of the plantation between the two year end dates is 126.30

PAST EXAMINATION QUESTIONS


QUESTION 1 (NEW EXAMINATION NOV-2019)

Arun Ltd. is an entity engaged in plantation and farming on a large scale and diversified
across India. On 1st April, 2018, the company has received a government grant for ₹ 20
lakh subject to a condition that it will continue to engage in plantation of eucalypts tree
for a coming period of five years.
The management has a reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with condition
of engaging in the plantation of eucalyptus trees for specified period of five years and
accordingly it recognizes proportionate grant for ₹ 4 lakh in Statement of Profit and
Loss as income following the principles laid down under Ind AS 20
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Required:
Evaluate whether the above accounting treatment made by the management is in
compliance with the applicable Ind AS. If not, advise the correct treatment.

SOLUTION
Arun Ltd. is engaged in plantation and farming on a large scale. This implies that it has
agriculture business. Hence, Ind AS 41 will be applicable.
Further, the government grant has been given subject to a condition that it will continue
to engage in plantation of eucalyptus tree for a coming period of five years. This implies
that it is conditional grant.
In the absence of the measurement base of biological asset, it is assumed that “ Arun
Ltd measures its Biological Asset at fair value less cost to sell”

(i) As per Ind AS 41, the government grant should be recognised in profit or loss when,
and only when, the conditions attaching to the government grant are met ie continuous
plantation of eucalyptus tree for coming period of 5 years. In this case the grant shall
not be recognised in profit or loss until the five years have passed. The entity has
recognised the grant in profit and loss on proportionate basis, which is incorrect.
(ii) However, if the terms of the grant allow of it to be retained according to the time
elapsed, the entity recognises that part in profit or loss as time passes. Accordingly,
the entity can recognise the proportionate grate for 4 lakh in the statement of profit
and Loss based on the terms of the grant.

NOTES
IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE 103

IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE

Objective

The objective of this Standard is to prescribe principles for the determination and
presentation of Earnings per share, so as to improve performance comparisons between
different entities in the same reporting period and between different reporting peri-
ods for the same entity.

Even though earnings per share data have limitations because of different accounting
policies that may be used for determining „earnings‟, a consistently determined denomina-
tor enhances financial reporting.

The focus of this Standard is on the denominator of the earnings per share calculation.

Scope

This Indian Accounting Standard shall apply to companies that have issued ordinary
shares to which Indian Accounting Standards (Ind ASs) notified under the Companies
Act apply.

An entity that discloses earnings per share shall calculate and disclose earnings per share
in accordance with this Standard.

When an entity presents both consolidated financial statements and separate financial
statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS 110, „Consolidated Financial Statements‟,
and Ind AS 27, „Separate Financial Statements‟, respectively, the disclosures required
by this Standard shall be presented both in the consolidated financial statements and
separate financial statements.

1. In consolidated financial statements such disclosures shall be based on consolidated


information and in separate financial statements such disclosures shall be based on
information given in separate financial statements.
2. An entity shall not present in consolidated financial statements, earnings per share
based on the information given in separate financial statements and shall not present
in separate financial statements, earnings per share based on the information given
in consolidated financial statements.
104 IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE

Measurement

Basic Earnings Per Share

An ordinary share is an equity instrument that is subordinate to all other classes of


equity instruments.

A potential ordinary share is a financial instrument or other contract that may entitle
its holder to ordinary shares.

Examples of potential ordinary shares are:


a. financial liabilities or equity instruments, including preference shares, that are con-
vertible into ordinary shares;
b. options and warrants;
c. shares that would be issued upon the satisfaction of conditions resulting from con-
tractual arrangements, such as the purchase of a business or other assets.
An entity shall calculate basic earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable
to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from con-
tinuing operations attributable to those equity holders.

Basic earnings per share shall be calculated by:

Profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity


Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period

For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the amounts attributable to or-
dinary equity holders of the parent entity in respect of:

a. profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the parent entity; and
b. profit or loss attributable to the parent entity
adjusted for the after-tax amounts of preference dividends, differences arising on
the settlement of preference shares, and other similar effects of preference shares
classified as equity.

Where any item of income or expense which is otherwise required to be recognised in


profit or loss in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards is debited or credited
to securities premium account/other reserves, the amount in respect thereof shall be
deducted from profit or loss from continuing operations for the purpose of calculating
basic earnings per share.

For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares
shall be the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE 105

The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period and for
all periods presented shall be adjusted for events, other than the conversion of potential
ordinary shares that have changed the number of ordinary shares outstanding without a
corresponding change in resources.

Ordinary shares may be issued, or the number of ordinary shares outstanding may be
reduced, without a corresponding change in resources. Examples include:

Diluted Earnings Per Share

An entity shall calculate diluted earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attribut-
able to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from
continuing operations attributable to those equity holders.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall ADJUST profit
or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, and the weighted
average number of shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares.

Diluted EPS shall be calculated by:


Adjusted Profit/loss attributable to ordinary Equity holders of the parent entity Adjusted
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall adjust profit
or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity, as calculated in ac-
cordance with Basic EPS, by the after-tax effect of:
a. any dividends or other items related to dilutive potential ordinary shares deducted
in arriving at profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent
entity;
b. any interest recognized in the period related to dilutive potential ordinary shares;
and
c. Any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of
the dilutive potential ordinary shares.
106 IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the number of ordinary shares
shall be the weighted average number of ordinary shares plus the weighted average
number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive
potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Potential ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion
to ordinary shares would decrease earnings per share or increase loss per share from
continuing operations.

Presentation
An entity shall present in the statement of profit and loss basic and diluted earnings per
share for profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to the ordinary equity
holders of the parent entity and for profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity
holders of the parent entity for the period for each class of ordinary shares that has a
different right to share in profit for the period.
An entity shall present basic and diluted earnings per share with equal prominence for all
periods presented.
An entity that reports a discontinued operation shall disclose the basic and diluted amounts
per share for the discontinued operation either in the statement of profit and loss or in
the notes.

(a) An entity that reports a discontinued operation shall disclose the basic and dilut-
ed amounts per share for the discontinued operation either in the statement of
profit and loss or in the notes.

(b) An entity shall present basic and diluted earnings per share, even if the amounts
are negative (i.e. a loss per share).

Retrospective Adjustments
If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding increases as a result of
a capitalisation, bonus issue or share split, or decreases as a result of a reverse share split,
the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented shall be
adjusted retrospectively. If these changes occur after the reporting period but before the
financial statements are approved for issue, the per share calculations for those and any
prio r period financial statements presented shall be based on the new number of shares.

Major Changes in Ind AS 33 vis-à-vis IAS 33 Not Resulting in Carve Outs

1. Consolidated Financial Statements and Separate Financial Statements: IAS 33


provides that when an entity presents both consolidated financial statements and
separate financial statements, it may give EPS related information in consolidated
IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE 107

financial statements only, whereas, Ind AS 33 requires EPS related information to be


disclosed both in consolidated financial statements and separate financial statements.
2. Applicability of the Standard: Paragraph 2 of IAS 33 requires that the entire
standard applies to:
(1) the separate or individual financial statements of an entity:

(i) whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are traded in a public
market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter mar-
ket, including local and regional markets) or
(ii) that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a
Securities Regulator or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of
issuing ordinary shares in a public market; and
(2) the consolidated financial statements of a group with a parent:

(i) whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares are traded in a public
market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter mar-
ket, including local and regional markets) or
(ii) that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a
Securities Regulator or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of
issuing ordinary shares in a public market.
It also requires that an entity that discloses earnings per share shall calculate and disclose
earnings per share in accordance with this Standard.
The above requirements have been deleted in the Ind AS as the applicability or exemptions
to the Ind ASs are governed by the Companies Act and the Rules made there under.

3. Usage of Information: Paragraph 4 has been modified in Ind AS 33 to clarify that


an entity shall not present in separate financial statements, earnings per share based
on the information given in consolidated financial statements, besides requiring as in
IAS 33, that earnings per share based on the information given in separate financial
statements shall not be presented in the consolidated financial statements.

4. Adjustment of Securities Premium: In Ind AS 33, a paragraph has been added after
paragraph 12 on the following lines -

“Where any item of income or expense which is otherwise required to be recognized in


profit or loss in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards is debited or credited
to securities premium account/other reserves, the amount in respect thereof shall be
deducted from profit or loss from continuing operations for the purpose of calculating
basic earnings per share.”
108 IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE

5. Amortisation of Discount or Premium: In Ind AS 33 paragraph 15 has been amended


by adding the phrase, „irrespective of whether such discount or premium is debited
or credited to securities premium account‟ to further clarify that such discount or
premium shall also be amortised to retained earnings.
6. Disclosure of Amounts of per Share using a Reported Component : IAS 33 requires
disclosure of amounts of per share using a reported component, basic and diluted
earnings per share and basic and diluted earnings per share for discontinued opera-
tions in the separate income statement, where separate income statement is pre-
sented. This requirement is not provided in Ind AS 33 consequential to the removal
of option regarding two statement approach in Ind AS 1. Ind AS 1 requires that the
components of profit or loss and components of other comprehensive income shall be
presented as a part of the statement of profit and loss.

Major Changes in Ind AS 33 vis a vis Notified AS 20

(i) Options held by the Entity on its Shares: Existing AS 20 does not specifically deal
with options held by the entity on its shares, e.g., purchased options, written put op-
tion etc. Ind AS 33 deals with the same.
(ii) Presentation of Basic and Diluted EPS from Continuing and Discontinued Opera-
tions: Ind AS 33 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS from continuing and
discontinued operations separately. However, existing AS 20 does not require any
such disclosure.
(iii) Disclosure of EPS with and without Extraordinary Items: Existing AS 20 requires
the disclosure of EPS with and without extraordinary items. Since as per Ind AS 1,
„Presentation of Financial Statements‟, no item can be presented as extraordinary item,
Ind AS 33 does not require the aforesaid disclosure.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS ON BASIC EPS

CONCEPT RELATED WITH PREFERENCE SHARES

QUESTION NO 1 (CONCEPT OF PREFERENCE DIVIDEND)

Genistar Tubes Inc had issued 10% Preference shares of face value $ 10. Premium on re-
demption will be 20% on the date of redemption (after 5 years). Net Profits after Tax $
750 million and $ 790 million for 20-16 and 2017 respectively. Number of equity shares
16 million and preference shares 3 million. Compute Basic EPS. (hit IRR for Cash flows =
11.59%).

QUESTION 2 (EARLY BUY BACK/REDEMTION OF PSC)

ABC Ltd. issues 9% preference shares of fair value of ` 10 each on 1.4.20X1. Total value of
the issue is 10,00,000. The shares are issued for a period of 5 years and would be redeemed
at the end of 5th year. The shares are to be redeemed at ` 11 each.
At the end of the year 3, i.e. on 31.3.20X4, company finds that it has earned good returns
than expected over last three years and can make the redemption of preference shares
early. To compensate the shareholders for two years of dividend which they need to forego,
company decided to redeem the shares at ` 12 each instead of original agreement of ` 11.
Comment on the impact of early conversion of preference shares at a premium on earnings
for the year 20X3-20X4 attributable to ordinary equity holders of ABC Ltd. for basic EPS.
Ignore the EIR impact in the solution and answer on the basis of Ind AS 33 only.

QUESTION 3 (DIFFERENT CASES RELATED WITH PREFERENCE SHARES

An entity has following preference shares in issue at the end of 20X4:


 5% redeemable, non-cumulative preference shares: These shares are classified as li-
abilities. During the year, a dividend was paid on the 5% preference shares- ` 100,000.
 Increasing–rate, cumulative, non-redeemable preference shares issued at a discount
in 20X0, with a cumulative dividend rate from 20X5 of 10%: The shares were issued
at a discount to compensate the holders, because dividend payments will no commence
until 20X5. The accrual for the discount in the current year, calculated using the effec-
tive interest method amounted to, say, ` 18,000. These shares are classified as equity
– ` 200,000.
 8% non-redeemable, non- cumulative preference shares: At the beginning of the
year, the entity had ` 100,000 8% preference shares outstanding but, at 30 June 20X4,
it repurchased ` 50,000 of these at a discount of ` 1,000 – ` 50,000.
110 IND AS-33 : EARNING PER SHARE

 7% cumulative, convertible preference shares (converted in the year): These shares


were classified as equity, until their conversion into ordinary shares at the beginning of
the year. No dividend was accrued in respect of the year, although the previous year‛s
dividend was paid immediately prior to conversion. To induce conversion, the terms of
conversion of the 7% convertible preference shares were also amended, and the revised
terms entitled the preference shareholders to an additional 100 ordinary shares on
conversion with a fair value of ` 300 – Nil.
The profit after tax for the year 20X4 is ` 150,000.
Determine the adjustments for the purpose of calculating EPS.

QUESTION NO 4 (ITEMS ROUTED THROUGH SECURITIES PREMIUM)

X Ltd. earns net profit post tax for 2015-16 Rs. 33,000. During the year underwriting com-
mission is incurred Rs. 2,000 on issue of prefence shares. The same is adjusted in securities
premium a/. WANES = 1000 shares. Compute EPS for 2015-16.

CALCULATION OF WANS

QUESTION NO 5

Calculate the weighted average number of shares on the basis of following table:-
No of shares No of shares No of shares

At 30 June 20X1, the issued share capital of an entity consisted or 1,500,000 ordinary
shares of ` 1 each. On 1 October 20X1, the entity issued ` 1,250,000 of 8% convertible loan
stock for cash at par. Each ` 100 nominal of the loan stock may be converted, at any time
during the years ended 20X6 to 20X9, into the number of ordinary shares set out below:
30 June 20X6: 135 ordinary shares;
30 June 20X7: 130 ordinary shares;
30 June 20X8: 125 ordinary shares; and
30 June 20X9: 120 ordinary shares.
If the loan stocks are not converted by 20X9, they would be redeemed at par.
This illustration assumes that written equity conversion option is accounted for as a derivative
liability and marked to market through profit or loss. The change in the option ‘fair value
reported in 20X2 and 20X3 amounted to losses of ` 2,500 and ` 2,650 respectively. It is
assumed that there are no tax consequences arising from these losses.

QUESTION 26

An entity issues 2,000 convertible bonds at the beginning of Year 1. The bonds have a three-
year term, and are issued at par with a face value of ` 1,000 per bond, giving total proceeds
of ` 2,000,000. Interest is payable annually in arrears at a nominal annual; interest rate of
6 per cent. Each bond is convertible at any time up to maturity into 250 ordinary shares.
The entity has an option to settle the principal amount of the convertible bonds in ordinary
shares or in cash.
When the bonds are issued, the prevailing market interest rate for similar debt without a
conversion option is 9 per cent. At the issue date, the market price of one ordinary share
is ` 3. Income tax is ignored.

ADJUSTMENT OF PARTICIPATING EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

QUESTION 27

An entity has two classes of shares in issue:


 5,000 non- convertible preference shares
 10,000 ordinary shares
The preference shares are entitled to a fixed dividend of ` 5 per share before any dividends
are paid on the ordinary shares. Ordinary dividends are then paid in which the preference
Shareholders do not participate. Each preference share then participates in any additional
ordinary dividend above ` 2 at a rate of 50% of any additional dividend payable on an
ordinary share.
The entity‛s profit for the year is ` 100,000, and dividends or ` 2 per share are declared
on the ordinary shares.

QUESTION 7

H Ltd. engaged in the business of manufacturing lotus wine. The process of manufacturing
this wine takes around 18 months. Due to this reason H Ltd. has prepared its financial
statements considering its operating cycle as 18 months and accordingly classified the raw
material purchased and held in stock for less than 18 months as current asset. Comment
on the accuracy of the decision and the treatment of asset by H Ltd. As per Schedule III.

SOLUTION
•  s per Schedule III, one of the criteria for classification of an asset as a current
A
asset is that the asset is expected to be realised in the company’s operating cycle or
is intended for sale or consumption in the company’s normal operating cycle.
•  urther, Schedule III defines that an operating cycle is the time between the
F
acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents.
•  owever, when the normal operating cycle cannot be identified, it is assumed to
H
have duration of 12 months. As per the facts given in the question, the process of
manufacturing of lotus wine takes around 18 months; therefore, its realisation into
cash and cash equivalents will be done only when it is ready for sale i.e. after 18
months.
•  his means that normal operating cycle of the product is 18 months. Therefore,
T
the contention of the company’s management that the operating cycle of the
product lotus wine is 18 months and not l2 months is correct. H. Ltd. will classify
the raw material purchased held in stock as current asset.

158 QUESTIONS ON SCHEDULE 3

QUESTION 9

SOLUTION

QUESTION 10

Explain the meaning of share warrants?

SOLUTION
Meaning: A share warrant is a bearer document of title to shares and can be issued only by
public limited companies and that to against fully paid up shares only.
A share warrant cannot be issued by a private company, because the share warrant states
that its bearer is entitled to a number of shares mentioned there in. It is a negotiable
document and is easily transferable by mere delivery to another person. The holder of the
share warrant is entitled to receive dividend as decided by the company.
A share warrant is accompanied by attached coupons for the payment of future dividends.
There are three parts of a share warrant:
(1) The counter foil.
(2) Share Warrant proper.
(3) The dividend coupons.
Conditions for the issue of a share warrant:
(1) 
Only public limited companies: Share warrant can be issued by the public limited
companies. It cannot be issued by private companies.
(2) 
Against share certificate of fully paid up shares: A share warrant is only issued
against share certificate of fully paid up shares.
(3) 
Provision in the Articles: There must be a provision in the Articles of Association
regarding the issue of share warrant. If there is a provision, the company can issue
a share warrant. If there is no provision in the Articles, the company cannot issue a
share warrant.
(4) 
Permission of the Central Government: Prior permission from the Central Government
is necessary for the issue of share warrant.
(5) 
Share warrant not issued originally: Share warrant are not issued originally at the
time of initial issue.
QUESTIONS ON SCHEDULE 3 159

(6) 
AT the request of the share holder: A share warrant is issued at the request of
the Shareholders / member and not by the company at its own initiative.
In simple terms, a warrant is like an option issued by a company that gives the
holder the right to buy stock from the company at a specified price within a certain
designated time period. Generally speaking, warrants are issued by the company whose
stock underlies the warrant and when an investor exercises a warrant, he or she
buys stock from the company. A stock warrant is a way for a company to raise money
through equity (stocks). A stock warrant is a smart way to own shares of a company
because a warrant usually is offered at a price lower than that of a stock option. ^1

Like an option, a warrant does not represent actual ownership in the stock of the company
and it is simply the right (but not the obligation) to buy shares at a certain price in the
future.
The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and
guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued
by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the
lifetime of a typical option is measured in months
1. 
A share warrant can be issued only when the shares are fully paid up whereas a share
certificate can be issued at any stage without the shares being fully paid up.
2. A share warrant is a negotiable instrument but a share certificate is not.
3. 
A share certificate is a document showing prima facie title to the shares represented
thereby but a share warrant is the share security itself capable of easy transfer.
4. 
A holder of a share certificate is a member of the company but the holder of a share
warrant is not, unless the articles otherwise provide.
5. 
A share certificate can be issued both by a public and a private company but a share
warrant is issued only by a public company.
