Heritage Foods Limited | 30th Annual Report 2021-22

30 th Annual Report 2021-22 Heritage Foods Limited 146 Depreciation is provided on the basis of straight-line method at the useful life and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following assets, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and /or internal evaluation. Management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used. The useful life provided for different asset classes under schedule II of the Act and considered by the management are as follows: Asset class Useful life considered by management (in years) Useful life prescribed under the Act (in years) Buildings 5 – 30 30 Plant and machinery 1 – 20 15 Furniture and Fixtures 1 – 15 10 Vehicles 2 – 10 8 Office Equipment 1 – 20 5 i) Depreciation on Improvements to leasehold property is provided over the period of lease. ii) Depreciation in respect of its Renewable Energy business is provided on straight line method and at rates/ methodology prescribed under the relevant Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) regulations. Depreciation on assets which are commissioned during the year is charged on pro -rata basis from the date of commissioning. The Company depreciates general spares over the life of the spare from the date it is available for use. An item of property, plant and equipment and any sig- nificant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are ex- pected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of a tangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are rec- ognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depre- ciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. h. Investment property Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss as incurred. The Company depreciates building component of investment property over the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of the investment property is disclosed in the note 8 to the standalone financial statements. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss in the period of de-recognition. i. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in the standalone statement of profit and loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite life is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss. The estimated useful life of intangible assets is mentioned below: Asset Useful life (years) Brand 5 Non-compete 3 Procurement 5 Computer software 5 Distribution network 5 Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
