92 ANNEXURE OBJECTIVES 1. The objective of the Cash Flow Statement (CFS) is to require reporting entities falling within its scope to report on a standard basis their cash generation and cash absorption for a period between Two Balance Sheet Dates. Standard headings have been devised for assisting the users to assess the liquidity, viability and financial adaptability of the reporting entity.This will ensure that cash flows highlights the significant components of the Cash Flow and facilitates comparison of the Cash Flow and facilitates comparison of the Cash Flow performance of different and varying natures of business. APPLICABILITY 2. This requirements shall b e mandatory for all the listed companies and other listed entities on the recognised stock exchanges. SCOPE 3. A company should prepare a Cash Flow Statement in accordance with this requirements and should present it as an integral part of its Financial Statements for each period for which Financial Statements are presented. BENEFITS OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION 4. A Cash Flow Statement, when used in the conjunction with the rest of the Financial Statements, provides information that enables users to analyse the pattern of resource deployment in/out of assets, evaluate the changes in net assets of a company, its financial structure (including its liquidity and solvency) and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flow in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities. Cash Flow information is useful in assessing the ability of the company to generate cash and cash equivalents and enables users to develop models to assess and compare the present value of the future cash flows of different companies. It also enhances comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different companies because it eliminates the effects of using different treatments for the same transactions and events. 5. Historical Cash Flow Information is often used as an indicator of the amount, timing and certainty of future cash flows. It is also useful in checking the accuracy of past assessments of future cash flows and in examining the relationship between profitability and net cash flow and the impact of changing prices. GROUND RULES FOR PREPARATION OF THE CASH FLOW STATEMENT 6 (i) The Cash Flow Statement for a period should b e derived from the Audited Annual Financial Statements of the Company. This Statement should be mandatory circulated by all Listed

93 companies along with the Annual Report to the Shareholders and will also be made available to the Stock Exchanges and SEBI. (ii) This will form part of the listing agreement between the listed and other entities and the Exchange and would come into effect for all Annual Accounts approved by the Shareholders after March 31, 1995. (iii) The figure relating to change in the working capital shall be supported by a statement giving an item wise break-up of the elements comprised therein. (iv) Movements within the financing section of the CFS or where several Balance Sheet amounts or part thereof have to the combined, to permit a Reconciliation sufficient detail should be shown to enable the movements to be understood. (v) Comparative figures should thereto. be given in the CFS and Notes/Supporting statements

vi) The statement shall be issued under the authority of the Board and shall be signed on behalf of the Board of Directors in the manner provided for authentication of Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account in Section 215 of the Companies Act, 1956. (vii) The statement shall be verified and accompanied by a certificate of the statutory Auditors. DEFINITIONS : 7. (i) CASH CASH IN HAND AND DEPOSITS REPAYABLE ON demand with any Bank or other Financial Institutions and body Corporate, Cash includes cash in hand and deposits denominated in foreign currencies. (ii) CASH Are short term (Three months or less) or high EQUIVALENTS liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (iii) CASH FLOW An increase or decrease in the amount of the Cash or Cash equivalent resulting from a transaction. (iv) COMPANIES Companies Act of 1956 and all amendments made ACT 1956 therein.

(v) INVESTMENTS Assets held not for operational purpose or for carrying on the business of the company will be called investments. However in the case of the Company where securities are stock in trade, they shall be reckoned as reckoned as inventory and not cash equivalents. (vi) OPERATING Are the principal revenue - Producing ACTIVITIES activities of the Company and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.

94 (vii) INVESTING Are the acquisition and disposal of long term other investments not included in cash equivalents. ACTIVITIES assets and

(viii) FINANCING Are activities that result in changes in the ACTIVITIES composition of the equity capital and borrowings of the company. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

size

and

8. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short/term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent it must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. THEREFORE, an investment normally qualifies as a Cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say, three months or less from the date of acquisition. Shares investments are excluded from cash equivalents unless there are, in substance, cash equivalents, for example in the case of preferred shares acquired within a short period of their maturity and with a specified redemption date. 9. Bank borrowings are generally considered to be financing activities. However, in some countries, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand form an integral part of a Company's cash as a component of cash and cash equivalents. A characteristic of such Banking arrangements is that the Bank Balance often fluctuate from being positive to overdrawn. 10. Cash flows exclude movements items that constitute cash or cash equivalents because these components are part of the cash managements of an company rather than part of its operating, investing and financing activities. Cash management includes the investment of excess cash in cash equivalents. PRESENTATION OF A CASH FLOW STATEMENT 11. The Cash Flow Statement should report cash flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities. 12. A company presents its cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in a manner which is most appropriate to its business. Classification by activity provides information that allows users to assess the impact of those activities on the financial position of the company and amount of its cash equivalent. This information may also be used to evaluate the relationships among these activities. 13. A single transaction may include cash flows that are classified differently. For example, when the cash repayment of a loan included both interest and capital, the interest element may be classified as an operating activity and the capital element is classified as a financing activity. OPERATING ACTIVITY

95 14. The amount of cash slows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to which the operations of the company have generated sufficient cash flows to repay loans, maintain the operating capability of the company, pay dividends and make new investments without recourse to external sources of financing, information about the specific components of historical operating cash flows is useful, in conjunction with other information, in forecasting future operating cash flows. 15. Cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the principal revenueproducing activities of the company. therefore, they generally result from the transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net profit or loss. Examples of cash flows from operating activities are: a) Cash receipt from the sale of goods and the rendering of services; b) Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commission and other revenue; c) Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services; d) Cash payments to and on behalf of employees; e) Cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance company for premiums and claims, annuities and other policy benefits; f) Cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified with financing and investing activities; and g) Cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading purposes. 16. Some transactions, such as the sale of an item of plant, may give rise to a gain or loss which is including in the determination of net Profit or Loss. However, the cash flows relating to such transactions are cash flows from investing activities. 17. A Company may hold securities and loans for dealing or trading purposes, in which case they are similar to inventory acquired specifically for resale. Therefore, Cash flows arising from the purchase and sale of dealing or trading securities are classified as operating activities. Similarly, cash advances and loans made by financial institutions are usually classified as operating activities since they relate to the main revenue-producing activity that company. INVESTING ACTIVITY 18. The enterprise disclosure of cash flow arising from investing activities is important because the cash flows represent the extent to which expenditure have been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows. Examples of cash flows arising from investing activities are; a) Cash payment to acquire property, plant and Equipment, intangible and other long-term assets. These payments include those relating capitalized development and self-constructed property, plant and equipment.

96 b) Cash receipt from sale of property, Plant and equipment, intangible and other long-term asset c) Cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other company and interests in joint ventures (Other than payments for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents or those held for dealing or trading purposes;) d) Cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other company and interest in Joint Ventures (Other than receipts for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those held for dealing or trading purpose); e) Cash advances and loans financial institution); made to other parties (other than advances and loans made by a

f) Cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties (other than advances and loans of a financial institution) g) Cash payments for future contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contract except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the payments are classified as financing activities; and h) Cash receipts from future contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contract except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the receipts are classified as financing activities 19. When a contract is accounted for as an identifiable position. the cash Flows of the contracts are classified in the same manner as the cash flows of the position being hedged. FINANCING ACTIVITIES 20. The purpose disclosure of Cash flows arising from financing activities is important because it is useful in predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of capital of the company. Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are; a) Cash proceeds from issuing shares or other equity instruments; b) Cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the company's shares as may be permissible; c) Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and other short or longterm borrowing; d) Cash repayments of amounts borrowed; and e) Cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding liability relating to a finance lease. REPORTING CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES: 21. A company should report Cash Flows from operating activities;

97 22. Whereby net Profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, and deferrals or accruals or past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows. 23. Under this method, the net Cash Flow from operating activities is determined adjusting the net profit or loss for the effects of: a) Changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables; b) Non-cash items such as depreciations, provisions, taxes unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and c) All other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows. REPORTING CASH FLOWS ON A NET BASIS: 25. Cash Flows arising from the following operating, investing or financing activities may be reported on a net basis: a) Cash receipts and payments on behalf of customers when the cash flow reflects the activities of the customer rather than those of the company; and b) Cash receipts and payments for items in which the turnover is quick, the amounts are large, and the maturities are short. 26. Example of cash receipts and payments referred to in paragraph 23 (A) are: a) The acceptance and repayment of demand deposits of a bank b) Funds held for customers by a investment company; and c) Rents collected on behalf of, and paid over to, the owners of properties. 27. Example of cash receipts and payments referred to in paragraph 23(B) are advances made for, and the repayments of: a) Principal amounts relating to credit card customers; b) The purchase and sale of investments; and c) Other short-term borrowings, for example, those which have a maturity period of three months of less. 28. Cash flows arising from each of the following activities of a financial institution may be reported on a net basis; a) Cash receipts and payments for the acceptance and repayment of deposits with a fixed maturity date;

98 b) The placement of deposits with and withdrawal of deposits from other financial institutions; and c) cash advances and loans made to customers and the repayments of those advances and loans,

FOREIGN CURRENCY CASH FLOWS 29. Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign should be record in a company's reporting currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow. 30. The cash flows of foreign subsidiary should be translated at the exchange rates between the reporting currency at the dates of the cash flows. 31. Cash flows denominated in foreign currency are reported in a manner as permitted under the relevant accounting standard. 32. Unrealised gain and losses arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not cash flows, However, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalent held or due in a foreign currency is reported in the cash flow statement in order to reconcile cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and the end of the period. This amount is presented separately from cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities and includes the differences, if any , had those cash flows been reported at the end of period exchange rates. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS 33. The Cash flows associated with extraordinary items should be classified as arising from operating, investing or financing activities as appropriate and separately disclosed. 34. The cash flows associated with extraordinary items are disclosed separately as arising from operating, investing or financial activities in the cash flows statement, to enable users to understand their nature and effect on the present and future cash flows of the company. INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS 35. Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid should each be disclosed separately. Each should be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as either operating, investing or financing activities. 36. The total amount of interest paid during the period is disclosed to the cash flow statement whether it has been recognised as an expense in the income statement or capitalised.

99 37. Interest paid and interest and dividends received are usually classified operating cash flows for a financial institution. However, there is no consensus on the classification of these cash flows for other companies. Interest paid and interest and dividends received may be classified as operating cash flows because they enter into the determination of net profit or loss. Alternatively, interest paid and interest and dividends received may be classified as financing cash flows and investing cash flows respectively, because they are costs of obtaining financial resources or returns on investments. 38. Dividends paid may be classified as a financing cash flow because they are cost of obtaining financial resources. Alternatively, dividends paid may be classified as a component of cash flows from operating activities in order to assist users to determine the ability of a company to pay dividends out of operating cash flows. TAXES ON INCOME 39. Cash flows arising from taxes on income should be separately disclosed and should be classified as cash flows from operating activities unless they can be specifically identified with financing and investing activities. 40. Taxes on incomes arise on transactions that give rise to cash flows that are classified as operating, investing or financing in a cash flow statement. While tax expense may be readily identifiable with investing or financing activities, the related tax cash flows are often impracticable to identify and may arise in a different period from the cash flows of the underlying transactions. Therefore, taxes paid are usually classified as cash flows from operating activities. However, when it is practicable to identify the Tax cash flow with an individual transaction that gives rise to cash flows that are classified as investing or financing activities the tax cash flow is classified as an investing or financing activity as appropriate. When tax cash flow are allowed over more than one class of activity, the total amount of taxes paid is disclosed. INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES 41. When accounting for an investment in an associate or a subsidiary accounted for by the use of equity or cost method, an investor restricts its reporting in the cash flow settlement to the cash flows between itself and the investee, for example, to the dividends and advances. 42. A Company which reports its interest in jointly controlled entity using proportionate consolidation, includes in its consolidates cash flow statement its shore of the jointly controlled entity's cash flows. a company which reports such an interest using the equity method includes in its cash flows statement the cash flows in respect of its investments in the jointly controlled entity, and distributions and other payments or receipts between it and the jointly.

100 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES AND OTHER BUSINESS UNITS 43. The aggregate cash flow arising from acquisition and from disposals of subsidiaries or other business units should be presented separately and classified as investing activities. 44. A company should disclose, in aggregate, in respect of both acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries or other business units during the period each of the followings; a) The total purchase of disposal consideration; b) The portion of the purchase of disposal consideration discharged by means of cash and cash equivalents; c) The amount of cash and cash equivalents in the subsidiary or business unit acquired or disposed of; and d) The amount of the assets and liabilities other than cash or cash equivalents in the subsidiary or business unit acquired or disposed of, summarised by each major category NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS 47. Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash equivalents should be excluded from a cash flow statement. Such transactions should be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statement in a way that provides all the relevant information about these investing and financing activities. 48. May investing and financing activities do not have a direct impact on current cash flows although they do affect the capital and asset structure of a company. The exclusion of non-cash transactions from the cash flow statement in consistent with the objective of a cash flow statement as these items do not involve cash flows in the current period. Examples of non-cash transactions are: a) The acquisition of assets of assets either by assuming directly related liabilities or by means of a finance lease; b) The acquisition of a company by means of an equity issue; and c) The conversation of debt to equity. COMPONENTS OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 49. An enterprise should disclose the components of cash and cash equivalents and should present a reconciliation of the amounts in its cash flow statement with the equivalent items reported in the Balance Sheet. OTHER DISCLOSURES 50. A company should disclose, together with a commentary by management, the amount of significant cash and cash equivalent balances held by the Company.

101 51.
