Balance Sheet

In financial accounting, a balance sheet or statement of financial position is a summary of the financial balances of a company assets, liabilities and ownership equity are listed as of a specific date, such as the end of its financial year. A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot of a company's financial condition". Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time. The form of balance sheet of a company is prescribed in Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956. Now we shall examine the items in the balance sheet.

Liability

There are two types of items included in the liabilities. Firstly those items which are related to owner’s equity. It mainly includes share capital, reserves and surplus. Second those items which create claims of creditors in the company. Examples of such items are secured loans, unsecured loans, current liabilities and provisions etc.

Deferred tax liabilities/(assets) (net) 368,810

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are the result of temporary differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for taxable income relative to reported income. Although depreciation methods are the most common source, other temporary differences arise from the methods used to account for installment of sales, long term contracts, leases, warranties and service contracts, pension and other employee benefits and subsidiary investment earnings. They are called temporary differences because the total amount of expense and revenue recognized will eventually be the same for tax and reporting purposes. A deductable temporary difference is one that causes taxable income to exceed financial income, with the expectation that the difference will be offset in the future.

11

Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities generally arise where tax relief is provided in advance of an

accounting expense, or income is accrued but not taxed until received. It amounts to

Rs.757,877 thousands. Examples of such situations include:

a company claims tax depreciation at an accelerated rate relative to accounting depreciation

a company makes pension contributions for which tax relief is provided on a paid basis, whereas accounting entries are determined in accordance with actuarial valuations

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets generally arise where tax relief is provided after an expense is deducted for accounting purposes. It amounts to Rs.389,067 thousands. Examples of such situations include:

a company may accrue an accounting expense in relation to a provision such as bad debts, but tax relief may not be obtained until the provision is utilized

a company may incur tax losses and be able to "carry forward" losses to reduce taxable income in future year

12

Schedule E ( Refer to the annual report )

Asset . Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset.

Fixed Asset These are purchased for continued and long-term use in earning profit in a business. They are written off against profits over their anticipated life by charging depreciation expense). Accumulated depreciation is shown in the face of the balance sheet or in the notes

Intangible Assets Intangible assets lack physical substance and usually are very hard to evaluate. Intangible assets are nonphysical resources and rights that have a value to the firm because they give the firm some kind of advantage in the market place. They include patents, copyrights, franchises, goodwill, trademarks, trade names, etc. These assets are amortized to expense over 5 to 40 years with the exception of goodwill.

Tangible Assets Tangible assets are those that have a physical substance and can be touched, such as currencies, buildings, plant and machinery, furniture and fixtures, real estate, vehicles, inventories, equipment, and precious metals.

Addition Addition is the amount of asset purchased in the given accounting year. It is added to the previous year’s balance.

Depreciation  Depreciation is the reduction in the cost of an asset used for business purposes during certain amount of time due to usage, passage of time, wear and tear, technological outdating or obsolescence, depletion, inadequacy, rot, rust, decay or other such factors. Depreciation is provided as per the straight-line method at rates provided in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, except for the following classes of fixed assets, where the useful life has been estimated as under: -Information technology equipment: 3 yearsFurniture and fixtures and Vehicles: 5 yearsLeasehold land and improvements: Lease periodManagement information systems (Intangible fixed asset) : 5 years For example, In lease hold the previous year’s balance was Rs.94,657 thousand and the addition purchase was of Rs.338 thousand which amounted to a total of Rs.94,995 for the year 2008. The depreciation for the year 2007 and 2008 amounted to Rs.2,961 thousand. Hence, the value of lease hold on 31st December, 2008 is 94,995 – 2,961= 92,034 thousands.

13

Freehold Land Real property held under fee simple absolute in possession is a freehold land.

Leasehold Land Real property held by a tenant (lessee) under a lease for a fixed term, after which it returns to the freehold owner is a leasehold land.

Information Technology Equipment IT equipments are a set of tools, processes, and methodologies (such as coding/programming, data communications, data conversion, storage and retrieval, systems analysis and design, systems control) and associated equipment employed to collect, process, and present information. In broad terms, IT also includes office automation, multimedia, and telecommunications.

Government Securities Government securities are bonds, notes, and other debt instruments sold by a government to finance its borrowings. These are generally long-term securities with the highest market ratings. As investment assets they are sold by auction in weekly lots with tap issues to Discount House, banks and other public agencies. Treasury bills are issued through commercial banks and Discount Houses as primary market dealers, on a discount basis - that is, they are sold originally at a price below their face value, with face value payable at maturity. 

Mutual Funds A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests typically in investment securities (stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, and/or commodities such as precious metals).

Commercial Papers Commercial Paper is a money-market security issued (sold) by large banks and corporations to get money to meet short term debt obligations (for example, payroll), and is only backed by an issuing bank or corporation's promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified on the note. Since it is not backed by collateral, only firms with excellent credit ratings from a recognized rating agency will be able to sell their commercial paper at a reasonable price

Debentures In law, a debenture is a document that either creates a debt or acknowledges it. The term is used in corporate finance for a medium to long-term debt instrument used by large companies to borrow money. Non-convertible debentures, which are simply regular debentures, cannot be converted into equity shares of the liable company. They are debentures without the convertibility feature attached to them. As a result, they usually carry higher interest rates than their convertible counterparts.

Current assets, loans and advances In accounting, a current asset is an asset on the balance sheet which is expected to be sold or otherwise used up in the near future, usually within one year, or one operating cycle whichever is longer.Current Assets = Cash +Bank + Debtors + Bills Receivable + Short Term Investment + Inventory + Prepaid Expenses.

Loans and advances includes loans given to different persons, advances against purchase of goods and various expenses by the company etc. We shall now analyze schedule G which explains the above.

Inventories Inventory is a list for goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventories are items held for sale or used in the manufacture of products that will be sold. Inventories are classified into different types like raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, stock in trade etc.

Stores and Spare Parts   Replaceable component, sub assembly, and assembly identical to and interchangeable with the item it is intended to replace are called spare or service part which has amounted to Rs.248,931 thousands

Stock in Trade Stock in trade is the inventory of merchandise held for sale.

Finished Goods Finished goods are goods ready for sale to customers which is worth Rs.2,327,186 thousands.

Work in Progress Works in progress are materials and components that have begun their transformation to finished goods which is worth Rs.385,378 thousands.

Raw Material Raw materials are materials and components scheduled for use in making a product which is worth Rs.1,213,980 thousands.

Packing Material In order for the product to reach the end consumer in a consumable state, a whole array of packaging materials is required and this amounted to Rs.173,642 thousands.

Sundry Debtors A debtor is an entity that owes a debt to someone else. The entity may be an individual, a firm, a government, a company or other legal person. In finance, unsecured debt refers to any type of debt or general obligation that is not collateralized by a lien on specific assets of the borrower in the case of a bankruptcy or liquidation.

18

Doubtful Debts Doubtful debts are those debts which a business or individual is unlikely to be able to collect. The reasons for potential nonpayment can include disputes over supply, delivery, and conditions of goods, the appearance of financial stress within customers operation. It has amounted to Rs.29,717 thousands.

Provision for Doubtful Debts It reduces the reported amount of accounts receivable. Providing an allowance for doubtful accounts presents a more realistic picture of how much of the accounts receivable will be turning to cash. After all, a company selling products on credit to thousands of customers will likely have a few customers who will not be able to pay the full amount they owe to the company. It amounted to Rs.29,717 which is deducted from debtors.

Cash and Bank Balance Cash are the most liquid assets found within the asset portion of a company's balance sheet. Cash in hand is the cash the company has in hand to use when required. Nestle cash in hand is Rs.32 thousand. Cash at bank is the liquid asset that is present in the company’s bank account. It is a deposit account held at a bank or other financial institution, for the purpose of securely and quickly providing frequent access to funds on demand, through a variety of different channels.

Loans and Advances An unsecured loan is a loan that is not backed by collateral. Unsecured loans are based solely upon the borrower's credit rating. As a result, they are often much more difficult to get than a secured loan, which also factors in the borrower's income. An unsecured loan is considered much cheaper and carries less risk to the borrower. However, when an unsecured loan is granted, it does not necessarily have to be based on a credit score.

Profit and Loss Account

Income Income is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. It r arises from the following.

Sales Sale is the pinnacle activity involved in selling products or services in return for money or other compensation. It is an act of completion of a commercial activity. It is further classified into domestic and export.
