• Present obligation arising from past event, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation.

• A present obligation arising from past event, when no reliable estimate is possible.

• A possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent
assets are assessed continually and, if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and
related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.

2.12 Employee Benefits:

Short term employee benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within 12 months of rendering services are classified as short term employee
benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences, performance incentives etc., and the
expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employee renders related service.

administered fund. The Company also provides certain additional post-employment benefits in the form of
compensated absences to employees. These compensated absences are unfunded. The actuarial valuation is done as

Revenue from sale of products:

Revenue from sale of products is recognised on satisfaction of performance obligations by the Company on transfer
of control of ownership attached to the goods to customers. The revenue is measured at the amount based on the
transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts, price concessions, incentives, and returns,
if any, as specified in the contracts with the customers.

Revenue from contracts with customers:

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the Company satisfies performance obligation by
transferring promised goods and services (assets) to the customers. The Company recognises revenue over the period
of time, as performance obligations are satisfied over time due to continuous transfer of control to the customer. Such
contracts are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation as it involves integration of goods and services.
The revenue is recognised to the extent of transaction price allocated to the performance obligation satisfied.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring goods or services to a customer excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party.

Any amount of income accrued but not billed to customers in respect of any contracts is recorded as a contract
asset. Such contract assets are transferred to trade receivables on actual billing to customers. A contract liability is the
obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or an
amount of consideration is due from the customer. Such contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the
Company performs under the contract. Transaction price is recognised based on the price specified in the contract.

Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference
to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on
initial recognition.

Insurance claim:

Insurance claims are recognised on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted, to the extent that the
amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect ultimate collection.

present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined.
If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee''s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequent measurement:

Right-of-use assets:

After the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset by applying a cost model:

(a) Cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and

(b) adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and
short-term leases. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.15 Current and Deferred Tax:

Current tax is the amount of tax payable determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.

method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets
are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward tax losses and allowances to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences,
carry forward tax losses and allowances can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the
applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are off set, and presented as net.

2.16 Borrowing cost:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All

“The company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cashflows that may result from a change in the price of the financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings.”

If the risk exposure is significant then senior management reviews the position and takes decision regarding hedging/other risk strategies to mitigate such risk exposures.

(i) Interest rate risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rate. The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.

(ii) Foreign currency risk:

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company transacts business in foreign currencies (primarily USD and Eur). Consequently, the Company has foreign currency trade payables and receivables and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk.These exposures are unhedged.

(iii) Credit Risk: Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding -looking information such as :

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse change in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty''s ability to meet its obligation.

(iv) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 1095 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company may engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.

(iv) Trade Receivables & Other Receivables :

Customer credit is managed by each business un subject to company''s established policies, procedures and control relating to customer creit risk management.

The Company measures the Expected Credit Loss of Trade Receivables based on historical trend, Industry Practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends.Expected credit loss is computed on a collective basis as receivables are in similar category & amount of individual trade receivables are not individually significant except those as disclosed in Note 5C

Based on management estimation and data available there is no significant increase in credit risk/credit impaired for individual trade receivables except those disclose in note 5C.

In computation of the expected credit loss, there is no specific provisioning / write off policy for outstanding for more than certain period. There are no specific forward looking information estimated by the management.

The ageing analysis of the receivables (gross of provision) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.

For the purposes of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximise shareholder value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial statements

An operating segment is a component of the entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenue & expenses that relate to transactions with any of the company''s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments are evaluated based on profit or loss and measured consistently with the profit or loss in the financial statements & are reviewed regularly by the entity''s Managing Director to make decisions about resorces to be allocated to the segments and access their performance.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure

(iv) Roll rate method for trade receivable

Impairment loss for trade receivable is calculated using the Roll Rate method. In the roll rate method, the entire portfolio balance is segmented by various buckets e.g. Current, I-90 , 9I-I80 , I8I-270 etc. Roll rate technique is a forecast in which the flow of outstanding from one level of delinquency (lower) to another (higher) is applied to the current portfolio outstanding mix. This technique follows the flow from ‘Current'' through all the delinquency buckets to ‘charge-off''. The losses are determined as a product of flow rates from the bucket to the final bucket. Once historical net roll rates by bucket have been calculated, their patterns over time are examined and future roll rates are estimated.

Expected credit loss is computed on a collective basis as receivables are in simlar category & amount of individual trade receivables are not individually significant.

Based on management estimation and data available there is no significant increase in credit risk/credit impaired for individual trade receivables.

In computation of the expected credit loss, there is no specific provisioning / write off policy for outstanding for more than certain period.

Note 4: Financial risk management

The company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of the financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings.

If the risk exposure is significant than senior management reviews the position and takes decision regarding hedging/ other risk strategies to mitigate such risk exposures.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rate. The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. These exposures are unhedged.

Foreign currency sensitivity

5% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates will have the following impact on profit before tax. Trade Receivable

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

Notes to Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2017

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse change in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty''s ability to meet its obligation.

(iv) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within I095 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company may engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure

Roll rate method for trade receivable:

Impairment loss for trade receivable is calculated using the roll rate method. In the roll rate method, the entire portfolio balance is segmented by various buckets e.g. Current, I-90 , 9I-I80 , I8I-270 etc. Roll rate technique is a forecast in which the flow of outstanding from one level of delinquency (lower) to another (higher) is applied to the current portfolio outstanding mix. This technique follows the flow from ‘Current'' through all the delinquency buckets to ‘charge-off''. The losses are determined as a product of flow rates from the bucket to the final bucket. Once historical net roll rates by bucket have been calculated, their patterns over time are examined and future roll rates are estimated. Expected credit loss is computed on a collective basis as receivables are in similar category and amount of individual trade receivables are not individually significant.

Based on management estimation and data available there is no significant increase in credit risk/credit impaired for individual trade receivables.

In computation of the expected credit loss, there is no specific provisioning / write off policy for outstanding for more than certain period.

There are no specific forward looking information estimated by the management.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk and expected credit loss for trade receivables for corporate customers as at 31 March 2017

The Company does not otherwise require collateral in respect of trade receivables and loans. The Company does not have trade receivable and loans for which no loss allowance is recognized because of collateral.

The following table summarizes the change in the loss allowances measured using life-time expected credit loss model:

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company’s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

12.1 Estimates An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.

According the amount capitalized in the books under the head of fixed assets amounting to Rs. 0.19 lacs is reclassified as prepaid rent under the head Other current assets and amortized over the lease term of 30 years with the resultant adjustment taken to Retained earnings of Rs.0.14 lacs with respect to rent amortization till the date of transition. The profit for the year and prepaid rent is reduced by 0.0I as a result of rent amortization for 3Ist March, 20I6 Note 2 "Ind AS I09 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognized in the profit or loss over the tenure of the borrowing as part of the interest expense by applying the effective interest rate method.

Under previous GAAP these transaction costs were capitalized as part of Capital Work in progress or charged to profit or loss as and when incurred. Accordingly, borrowings as at 3I March 20I6 have been reduced by INR I5.02 with a corresponding adjustment to capital work in progress and finance cost. The profit for the year ended 3I March 20I6 increased by INR 4.54 as a result of the this adjustment."

Note 17

Under the previous GAAP billable cost were presented as part of other current assets. Under Ind AS, inventory for service provider are required to be separately presented in the financial statements. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.

Note 18

Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been determined based on ECL model. Due to this model, the company impaired its trade receivable by Rs.118.82 lacs as on the date of transition which is recognized in retained earnings.

There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.

Note 20

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS I2 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS I2 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP

In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity or profit or loss. The net impact on deferred tax liabilities is of INR (3.49) [3I March 20I5: INR (56.27)]

Under IGAAP the grant received was presented under Capital Reserve. Ind AS requires grant to be presented as deferred income in the balance sheet and to be recognized in profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. The grant relating to setting up of industrial unit is recognized as deferred income in the balance sheet and is recognized over the tenure of the sales tax deferral loan since the grant will become refundable if the company defaults in repayment of the sales tax deferral loan. The adjustment relating to grant upto the date of transition of Rs. 25.68 lacs is recognized in retained earnings and the balance grant is recognized as non current and current liability.

Note 22

Lease equalization reserve recognized under Indian GAAP is transferred to retained earnings on the date of transition amounting to I.73 and adjusted lease expenses in 3I March, 20I6 amounting to Rs. 0.90 lacs as the escalation in lease rental is in line with general inflation and therefore the lease rentals need not be straight lined under Ind AS. This has resulted in increase in retained earnings of Rs.1.73 lacs as on the date of transition and profit of Rs. 0.90 lacs for 31 March 20I6.

Note 23

Under the previous GAAP dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of INR 30.09 lacs as at 3 I March 20I6 (1 April 2015 - INR 30.09 lacs) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.

Note 24

"As per Ind AS 8, an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by:

(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or

(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restaing the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.

Under Indian GAAP prior period error relating to gratuity were recognized in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 3I March 20I6 of Rs.47.44 lacs under employee benefit expenses. This is adjusted in the opening balance sheet as it related to earlier years resulting in reduction in retained earnings and increase in long term provision relating to gratuity of Rs. 47.44 lacs on the date of transition. The profit for the year ended 3I March 2016 is also increased by an equivalent amount less respective tax effect."

Note 25

Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the company recognized costs related to its post employment defined benefit plan on actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP the entire cost, including actuarial gain and loss, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effects of asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on the plan assets excluding the amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognized in balance sheet through other comprehensive income. Thus, employee benefits expense is reduced by Rs. 18.04 lacs and is recognized in other comprehensive income during the year ended 31 March 2016.
