EXAM QUESTIONS
AUDIT-MAY-14
Q.1 KAY Ltd. is in the process of finalizing its accounts for year ended 31st March,2014andfurnishes the following information:
(I) Finished goods normally are held for 30 days before sale.
(ii) Sales realization from Debtors usually takes 60 days from date of credit invoice.
(iii) Raw materials are held in stock to cover one month’s production requirements.
(iv) Packing materials, being specifically made for the company and having lead time of 90 days is held in stock for 90 days.
(v) The holding period in respect of unfinished goods is 30 days.
(vi) Being a monopoly KAY Ltd. enjoys a credit period of 12.5 months from its suppliers who sometimes at the end of their credit period opt for conversion of their dues into long term debt of KAY Ltd.
You are required to compute the operating cycle of KAY Ltd. as per revised Schedule III of Companies Act, 1956. As the suppliers of the company are paid off after a credit period of 12.5 months should this be part of Current Liability? Would your answer be the same if the creditors are settled in 330 days?
Answer
(a) Operating cycle of Kay Ltd. will be computed as under: Raw material stock holding period + Work-in-progress holding period + Packing Materials holding period+ finished goods holding period + Debtors collection period = 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8 months Classification of liability to suppliers: Schedule III provides that: —A liability shall be classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
i. It is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle;
ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or’
iv. the company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counter party, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments and do not affect its classification.
There are two situations:
a. When credit period given by supplier is 12.5 months: The nature of classification of liability is to be seen with reference to the reporting date. Hence all liabilities except those that arise in the last fortnight of the accounting period will be—Current as this will have to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date. Thus, all liabilities that do not arise in the last fortnight of the accounting period will be —Non – Current.
b. When credit period given by suppliers is 330 days (i.e. 11 months approx.): If the Creditors are settled in 330 days i.e. within 11 months. This satisfies the third condition i.e. it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date and there is no option to defer it. Hence, in the case it will be treated as current liability.

Following Errors are noticed in presentation as per Schedule III:
(I) Share Capital & Reserve & Surplus are to be reflected under the heading Shareholders’ funds, which is not shown while preparing the balance sheet. Although it is a part of Equity and Liabilities yet it must be shown under head Shareholders ‘funds. The heading Shareholders ‘funds is given in the question missing in the balance sheet.
(ii) Reserve & Surplus is showing zero balance, which is not correct in the given case. Debit balance of statement of profit & Loss should be shown as a negative figure under the head Surplus’. The balance of Reserves and Surplus’, after adjusting negative balance of surplus shall be shown under the head Reserves and Surplus ‘even if the resulting figure in negative.
(iii) Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013 requires that Employee Stock Option outstanding should be disclosed under the heading Reserves and Surplus
(iv) Share application money refundable shall be shown under the sub-heading Other Current Liabilities. As this is refundable and not pending for allotment, hence it is not a part of equity.
(v) Deferred Tax Liability has been correctly shown under Non-Current Liabilities. But Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, both, cannot be shown in balance sheet because only the net Balance of Deferred Tax Liability or Asset is to be shown.
(vi) Under the main heading of Non-Current Assets, Fixed Assets are further classified as under:
I. Tangible assets II. Intangible assets
III. Capital work in Progress IV. Intangible assets under development.
Keeping in view the above, the CWIP shall be shown under Fixed Assets as Capital Work in Progress. The amount of Capital advances included in CWIP shall be disclosed under the sub heading Long term loans and advances under the heading Non-CurrentAssets.
(vii) Deferred Tax Asset shall be shown under Non-Current Asset. It should be the net balance of Deferred Tax Asset after adjusting the balance of deferred tax liability.
AUDIT-NOV-12
Q.3 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 of Companies Act, 2013.
Answer
1. As per Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013, one of the criteria for classification of an asset as a current 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.
2. Further, Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013 defines that an operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents.
3. However, when the normal operating cycle cannot be identified, it is assumed to 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.
4. This means that normal operating cycle of the product is 18 months. Therefore, the contention of the company’s management that the operating cycle of the product lotus wine is 18 months and notl2 months is correct. H. Ltd. will classify the raw material purchased 8cheld in stock as current asset in
Nice explanation but there is no explanation for profit and loss account. WHY?
There are (a) to (l) number of points for the notes regarding Share Capital. Is it mandatory to mention all the points even if those are NIL for the respective company?
It is written in a simplified manner and was very helpful
but there is no explanation on the items of profit & loss.
Can you give your write ups for fundamental analysis as per schedule III balance sheet and P/L, that is formulas used for balance sheet and profit and loss?
The operating cycle is more than 12 months , Now if we raw material that to be sold after 18 month,How can be current Assets.
if suplier is giving 12.5 credit this is non currents liability and non current assets.Then why this is 18 months current assets. pla simplify.
