Accounting Policies of NRB Industrial Bearings Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2. Material Accounting Policies:

A. Statement of compliance and basis of
Preparation

These Standalone Ind AS financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the
Companies (Indian accounting standards) rules
2015 (as amended from time to time) and
presentation requirements of Division II of
Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS
compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the
Standalone financial statement.

These Standalone Ind AS financial statements
have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for certain financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value as explained in accounting

policy of fair value measurement [Note 2 B(c)]
and financial instruments [Note 2 B (m)] below.

The accounting policies adopted for preparation
and presentation of financial statements have
been consistent with the previous year.

The financial statements are presented in Indian
Currency (INR) which is the Company’s
functional and presentation currency, and all
values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs
(INR 00,000), except when otherwise indicated.

The Company has prepared the financial
statements on the basis that it will continue to
operate as going concern.

B. Summary of Material Accounting Policies:

a. Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customer is
recognized when control of the goods or services
are transferred to the customer at an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. The Company has generally
concluded that it is the principal in its revenue
arrangements, as it typically controls the goods or
services before transferring them to the
customer.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the
point in time when control of the asset is
transferred to the customer, which generally
coincides with delivery to customers. The credit
term is normally 7 to 120 days.

Revenue is recognised at an amount
representing the transaction price. In determining
the transaction price of sale of goods, the
Company considers the effects of variable
considerations such as trade discounts,
allowances and any taxes or duties collected on
behalf of the government such as goods and
services tax, etc. Revenue is only recognized to
the extent that it is highly probable a significant
reversal will not occur.

Rendering of Services

Revenue from services includes Service charges
and Job worker charges. Revenue from such
contracts are recognized at a point in time when
the services are rendered.

Interest income

Interest income from the financial assets is
recognized when it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the amount
of income can be measured reliably. Interest

income is calculated by using the effective
interest rate method with 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 assets to that
asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Rental income

The Company’s policy for recognition of revenue
from operating leases is described in Note 2 B

(i) below.

Export Benefits

Export benefits available under prevalent
schemes are accrued in the year in which the
goods are exported and no significant uncertainty
exists regarding its ultimate collection.

b. Contract Balances

i) Trade Receivable:

A receivable represents the Company’s
right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time
is required before payment of the
consideration is due). Refer to accounting
policies of financial assets in Note 2 B(m)
Financial instruments - initial recognition
an d su bsequ en t m easu remen t,
derecognition and impairment of financial
assets.

ii) Contract liabilities:

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. If a
customer pays consideration before the
Company transfers goods or services to the
customer, a contract liability is recognised
when the payment is made, or the payment
is due (whichever is earlier). Contract
liabilities are recognised as revenue when
the Company performs under the contract.

c. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at
fair value at each balance sheet date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that
the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:

(i) In the principal market for the asset or
liability, or

(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the
most advantageous market for the asset or
liability

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured
using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability,
assuming that market participants act in their best
economic interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset
takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in
its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its
highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data is available to measure fair value,
maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is
measured or disclosed in the financial statements
are categorized within the fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable.

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, the
Company determines whether transfers have
occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re¬
assessing categorization (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each
reporting period.

d. Employee Benefits

Post-employment benefits costs and termination
benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company’s contribution to Provident
fund, Employees State Insurance Scheme

and Labour welfare fund are considered as
Defined Contribution Plan and are charged
as employee benefits expense based on
the amount of contribution required to be
made as and when services are rendered
by the employees. The Company has no
further payment obligations once the
contribution has been paid. Prepaid
contributions are recognized as an asset to
the extent that a cash refund or reduction in
the future payment is available.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans:

The Company’s liabilities towards gratuity
are determined using the projected unit
credit method, with actuarial valuation
being carried out at the end of each annual
reporting period.

Gratuity: The Company operates a defined
benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires
contributions to be made to a separately
administered fund set up as irrevocable
trust by the Company.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial
gains or losses and the return on plan
assets (excluding net interest), is reflected
immediately in the Balance Sheet with a
charge or credit recognised in other
comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur.

Re-measurement recognised in other
comprehensive income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and will
not be reclassified to the statement of profit
and loss. Past service cost is recognised in
the statement of profit and loss in the period
of a plan amendment.

Net interest is calculated by applying the
discount rate at the beginning of the period
to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
Defined benefit costs are categorised as
follows:

• Service cost (including current service
cost, past service cost, as well as gains
and losses on curtailments and
settlements);

• Net interest expense or income; and

• Remeasurement

The Company presents the first two
components of defined benefit costs in the
statement of profit and loss in the line item
“Employee Benefits Expenses”.
Curtailment gains and losses are
accounted for as past service costs.

The defined benefit obligation recognised
in the Balance Sheet represents the actual
deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined
benefit plans.

Short term and other long term employee benefits

Benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages,
salaries and compensated absences and which are
expected to be availed within twelve months
immediately following the year end are reported as
expenses during the year in which the employee
performs the service that the benefit covers and the
liabilities are reported at the undiscounted amount of
the benefit expected to be paid in exchange of related
service.

Where the availment or encashment is otherwise not
expected to wholly occur within the next twelve months,
the liability on account of the benefit is actuarially
determined using the projected unit credit method at
the present value of the estimated future cash flow
expected to be made by the Company in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting
date.

The benefits are discounted using the market yields at
the end of the reporting period on government bonds
that have terms approximating the terms of the related
obligations. Remeasurements as a result of
experience adjustments and changes in actuarial
assumptions (i.e., actuarial losses/ gains) are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The obligations are presented as current in the balance
sheet if the Company does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after
the reporting period, regardless of when the actual
settlement is expected to occur.

e. Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are
measured at cost, which includes capitalized
borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item
of property, plant and equipment comprises:

- its purchase price, including import duties
and non-refundable purchase taxes, after
deducting trade discounts and rebates.

- any costs directly attributable to bringing
the asset to its working condition for its
intended use.

- the initial estimate of the costs of
dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and
equipment have different useful lives, then they
are accounted for as separate items (major

components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property,
plant and equipment is recognized in the
statement of profit or loss.

Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets
which are not ready for their intended use are
carried at costs, comprising of direct costs,
related incidental expenses and attributable
interest. Capital work in progress is stated at cost
less impairment, if any.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is
probable that the future economic benefit
associated with the expenditure will flow to the
Company.

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an
asset, less its estimated residual value.
Depreciation is recognised to write off the
depreciable amount of assets (other than freehold
land and assets under construction) over the
useful lives using the straight-line method. The
useful life of following assets is determined in
compliance with Part C of Schedule II of the
Companies Act, 2013.

However, for the following asset classes, the
useful life is determined based on technical
advice, considering factors such as the nature of
the asset, its estimated usage, the operating
conditions, and other relevant considerations.
The 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.

of consumption of the future economic benefits
embodied in the items of property, plant and
equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any
significant part initially recognised is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition
of the asset (calculated as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset) is included in the statement
of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

f. Intangible Asset

Intangible assets acquired separately are
measured on initial recognition at cost. Following
initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at
cost less any accumulated amortisation and
accumulated impairment loss, if any. Subsequent
expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that
the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the Company.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed
as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with
finite lives are amortised over the useful economic
life and 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. The
amortisation expense on intangible assets with
finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss unless such expenditure forms part of
carrying value of another asset.

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. The estimated
useful life and amortisation method are reviewed
at the end of each reporting period, with the effect
of any changes in estimate being accounted for
on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful life of intangible assets are as
follows:

The asset’s residual values, useful life and
depreciation method are reviewed at each
financial year-end to ensure that the amount,
method and period of depreciation are consistent
with previous estimates and the expected pattern

arising upon derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset) is included in the statement of profit and
loss when the asset is derecognised.

g. Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and
intangible assets to determine whether there is
any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in
order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate
the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
Company estimates the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value
less costs of disposal and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset for which the estimates
of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated
to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognised
immediately in Statement of profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses,
the carrying amount of the asset is increased to
the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,
but so that the increased carrying amount does
not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been
recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal
of an impairment loss is recognised immediately
in Statement of profit or loss.

h. Foreign Currency

The Company’s Standalone Ind AS financial
statements are presented in INR which is also the
Company’s functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at
exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are translated at
the exchange rate prevailing on the Balance
Sheet date and exchange gains and losses
arising on settlement and restatement are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign
currency are measured at historical cost and
translated at exchange rate prevalent at the date
of transaction.

i Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception
whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, i.e., if
the contract conveys the right to control the use of
an identified asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration.

Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and
measurement approach for all leases, except for
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.
The Company recognises lease liabilities to make
lease payments and right-of-use assets
representing the right to use the underlying
assets.

(i) Right of use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use
assets at the commencement date of the
lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is
available for use). Right-of-use assets are
measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, and
adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets
includes the amount of lease liabilities
recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and
lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease
incentives received. Right-of-use assets
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
the shorter of the lease term and the
estimated useful lives of the assets, as
follows:

(ii) Lease Liability

At the commencement date of the lease, the
Company recognises lease liabilities
measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed
payments (including in substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts
expected to be paid under residual value
guarantees. The lease payments also
include the exercise price of a purchase
option reasonably certain to be exercised

by the Company and payments of penalties
for terminating the lease, if the lease term
reflects the Company exercising the option
to terminate. Variable lease payments that
do not depend on an index or a rate are
recognised as expenses (unless they are
incurred to produce inventories) in the
period in which the event or condition that
triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease
payments, the Company uses its
incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest
rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable. After the commencement
date, the amount of lease liabilities is
increased to reflect the accretion of interest
and reduced for the lease payments made.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease
liabilities is remeasured if there is a
modification, a change in the lease term, a
change in the lease payments (e.g.,
changes to future payments resulting from
a change in an index or rate used to
determine such lease payments) or a
change in the assessment of an option to
purchase the underlying asset. The
Company’s lease liabilities are included in
Interest-bearing borrowings.

(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-
value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease
recognition exemption to its short-term
leases of office premises and storage
locations (i.e., those leases that have a
lease term of 12 months or less from the
commencement date and do not contain a
purchase option). It also applies the lease
of low-value assets recognition exemption
to leases of office equipment that are
considered to be low value. Lease
payments on short-term leases and leases
of low-value assets are recognised as
expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not
transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of an asset are
classified as operating leases. Rental
income arising is accounted for a straight¬
line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct
costs incurred in negotiating and arranging
an operating lease are added to the
carrying amount of the leased asset and
recognised over the lease term on the

same basis as rental income. Contingent
rents are recognised as revenue in the
period in which they are earned.

j. Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable
value, whichever is lower, cost being determined
on weighted average basis. Cost includes all
charges for bringing the goods to their present
location and condition.

Raw materials: cost includes cost of purchase
and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.
Cost is determined on first in, first out basis.

Finished goods and work in progress: cost
includes cost of direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on
the normal operating capacity but excluding
borrowing costs. Cost is determined on first in,
first out basis.

Net realizable value represents the estimated
selling price for inventories less all estimated
costs of completion and costs necessary to make
the sale.

Costs of conversion and other costs are
determined on the basis of standard cost method
adjusted for variances between standard costs
and actual costs.

k. Taxes on Income
Current Income Tax

Tax expense comprises of current tax expense
and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are
measured at the amount expected to be
recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities
in accordance with Income Tax Act, 1961. The tax
rates and tax laws used to compute the tax are
those that are enacted or substantially enacted at
the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognised
outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit
or loss (either in other comprehensive income or
in equity). Current tax items are recognised in
correlation to the underlying transaction either in
OCI or directly in equity.

Management periodically evaluates positions
taken in the tax returns with respect to situations
in which applicable tax regulations are subject to
interpretation and considers whether it is
probable that a taxation authority will accept an
uncertain tax treatment. The Company shall
reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain
tax treatment by using either most likely method
or expected value method, depending on which
method predicts better resolution of the
treatment.

Deferred Tax

Deferred Tax is provided using the balance sheet
approach on temporary differences between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes
at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all
taxable temporary differences, except:

- When the deferred tax liability arises from
the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset
or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss and does not
give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences;

- In respect of taxable temporary differences
associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures,
when the timing of the reversal of the
temporary differences can be controlled and
it is probable that the temporary differences
will not reverse in the foreseeable future

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all
deductible temporary differences, the carry
forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax
losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses can be utilized,
except:

- When the deferred tax asset relating to the
deductible temporary difference arises from
the initial recognition of an asset or liability
in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the
transaction, affects neither the accounting
profit nor taxable profit or loss and does not
give rise to equal taxable and deductible
temporary differences;

- In respect of deductible temporary
differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in
joint ventures, deferred tax assets are
recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that the temporary differences will
reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable profit will be available against which
the temporary differences can be utilised

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is
reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all
or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re¬
assessed at each reporting date and are
recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow the
deferred tax asset to be recovered.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax
assets, the Company relies on the same forecast
assumptions used elsewhere in the financial
statements and in other management reports,
which, among other things, reflect the potential
impact of climate-related development on the
business, such as increased cost of production as
a result of measures to reduce carbon emission.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
year when the asset is realized or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that
have been enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside
profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss
(either in other comprehensive income or in
equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in
correlation to the underlying transaction either in
OCI or directly in equity.

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally
enforceable right to set off current tax assets and
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority on either the
same taxable entity which intends either to settle
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or
to realise the assets and settle the liabilities
simultaneously, in each future period in which
significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or
assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) paid on
acquisition of assets or on incurring
expenses

Expenses and assets are recognised net of the
amount of GST/ value added taxes paid, except:

- When the tax incurred on a purchase of
assets or services is not recoverable from
the taxation authority, in which case, the tax
paid is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the
expense item, as applicable;

- When receivables and payables are stated
with the amount of tax included

The net amount of tax recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority is included
as part of other current/non-current assets/
liabilities in the balance sheet.

2. Material Accounting Policies:

A. Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian accounting standards) rules 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the Standalone financial statement.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as explained in accounting policy of fair value measurement [Note 2(E)] and financial instruments [Note 2(N)] below.

The accounting policies adopted for preparation and presentation of financial statement have been consistent with the previous year.

The financial statements are presented in Indian Currency (INR) which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency and all values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs (INR 00,000), except when otherwise indicated.

The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as going concern.

B. Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

C. Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customer is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Sale of goods

Revenue from contract with customers is recognized when the Company satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods to the customer. Performance obligations are satisfied at the point of time when the customer obtains controls of the asset.

Revenue from sale of goods is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, allowances and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax, etc. Revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.

Sale of Services

Revenue from services includes Service charges and Job worker charges. Revenue from such contracts are recognized at a point in time when the services are rendered.

Interest income

Interest income from the financial assets is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on timely 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 assets to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Rental income

The Company’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in Note 2 (J) below.

Export Benefits

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and no significant uncertainty exist regarding its ultimate collection.

D. Contract Balances

i) Trade Receivable:

A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in Note 2 (N) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement.

ii) Contract liabilities:

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. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

E. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date.

Far value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

F. Employee Benefits

(a) Post-employment benefits costs and termination benefits

(i) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company’s contribution to provident fund, employees state insurance scheme and labour welfare fund are considered as Defined Contribution Plan and are charged as employee benefit expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contribution has been paid. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in the future payment is available.

(ii) Defined Benefit Plans:

The Company’s liabilities towards gratuity are determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuation being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period.

Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains or losses and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the Balance Sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

Re-measurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to the statement of profit and loss. Past service cost is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

• Net interest expense or income; and

• Remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the statement of profit and loss in the line item “Employee Benefits Expenses”. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The defined benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans.

(b) Short term and other long term employee benefits

Benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages, salaries and compensated absences and which are expected to be availed within twelve months immediately following the year end are reported as expenses during the year in which the employee performs the service that the benefit covers and the liabilities are reported at the undiscounted amount of the benefit expected to be paid in exchange of related service. Where the availment or encashment is otherwise not expected to wholly occur within the next twelve months, the liability on account of the benefit is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method at the present value of the estimated future cash flow expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

G. Property, Plant and Equipment

Capital work in progress is stated at cost less impairment, if any. All items of Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Cost includes the acquisition cost or the cost of construction, including duties and non-refundable taxes, expenses directly related to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for making them operational for their intended use and, in the case of qualifying asset, the attributable borrowing costs.

Items under the property, plant and equipment which is not yet ready for their intended use are carried as capital work in progress at cost less impairment, if any determined as aforesaid.

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value. Depreciation is recognised to write off the depreciable amount of assets (other than freehold land and assets under construction) over the useful lives using the straight-line method.

The useful life of following assets is determined in compliance with Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful life of intangible assets are as follows:

However, for the following asset classes, the useful life is determined based on technical advice, considering factors such as the nature of the asset, its estimated usage, the operating conditions, and other relevant considerations. The 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.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

H. Intangible Asset

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

I. Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately

in Statement of profit or loss.

J. Foreign Currency

The Company’s Standalone financial statements are presented in INR which is also the Company’s functional currency.

Income and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the Balance Sheet date and exchange gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency are measured at historical cost and translated at exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction.

K. Leasing

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease, i.e., if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

a) Right of use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

b) Lease Liability

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company’s lease liabilities are included in Interest-bearing borrowings.

c) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of office premises and storage locations (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office

equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

L. Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower, cost being determined on weighted average basis. Cost includes all charges for bringing the goods to their present location and condition. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Costs of conversion and other costs are determined on the basis of standard cost method adjusted for variances between standard costs and actual costs.

M. Taxes on Income Current Income Tax

Tax expense comprises of current tax expense and deferred tax.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities in accordance with Income Tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the tax are those that are enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to

interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for each uncertain tax treatment by using either most likely method or expected value method, depending on which method predicts better resolution of the treatment.

Deferred Tax

Deferred Tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the Company relies on the same forecast assumptions used elsewhere in the financial statements and in other management reports, which, among other things, reflect the potential impact of climate-related development on the business, such as increased cost of production as a result of measures to reduce carbon emission.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and

current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity which intends either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

1. Significant accounting policies

a. Statement of compliance and Basis of preparation and presentation

Upto the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the Company’s first Ind AS financial statements. The date of transition to Ind AS is April 1, 2016. Refer Note 4 for the details of first-time adoption exemptions / exceptions availed by the Company.

The financial statements of the Company comprising of Balance Sheet, Statement of profit or loss, Statement of changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement together with the notes have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.

All values are rounded off to the nearest lakhs.

The financial statements are presented in Indian currency (INR) which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

The financial statements were approved for issue by the board of directors on 29th May, 2018.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments which have been measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

All assets and liabilities are classified as current if it is expected to realise or settle within twelve months from the Balance Sheet date.

b. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition, including any attributable cost for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use less accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment, if any. Cost includes financing cost relating to borrowed funds attributable to the construction or acquisition of qualifying tangible assets upto the date the assets are ready for use.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Depreciation on tangible property, plant and equipment is calculated on straight line basis based on the useful life in accordance with part C of schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 other than the following assets class for which useful life has been determined based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, etc.

c. Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is recognised on straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 6 years. The estimated useful lives and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

d. Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of profit or loss.

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

f. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost (on weighted average basis) and the net realizable value. Cost comprises of all costs of purchase, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of conversion and other costs are determined on the basis of standard cost method adjusted for variances between standard costs and actual costs.

Net realizable value represents estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

g. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of customer returns, trade allowance, rebates, Good and Service Tax , Value Added Tax and Service Tax.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

- the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

- the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

- the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

- it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sale of services

Sale of services are recognised on rendering of such services.

Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established. Interest income is accounted on time proportionate basis.

Rental income

The Company’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in note 2 h. below.

h. Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Company as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.

The Company as lessee

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.

i. Employee benefits

Retirement_benefit costs_and_termination benefits:

Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Contributions to Provident and Family Pension Fund and Superannuation scheme, a defined contribution plan are made as required by the statute and expensed in the Statement of profit or loss.

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in the other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to Statement of profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in Statement of profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the defined benefit liability. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows

- service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

- net interest expense or income; and

- remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the Statement of profit or loss in the line item “Employee benefits expense”. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service cost.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for the termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits:

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange of related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employee upto the reporting date.

j. Borrowing costs

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 added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

k. Taxes on Income

Income Tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the Statement of profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses could be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax for the year:

Current and deferred tax are recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

l. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

m. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax available for equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

n. Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

o. Cash Flow Statement :

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/ (loss) before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

p. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of profit or loss.

Financial assets:

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Investments in associates

The Company accounts for its investments in associates at cost less accumulated impairment, if any.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets. With respect to trade receivables the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Derecognition of financial assets:

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the Statement of profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in the Statement of profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all its liabilities. Equity instrument issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instrument is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Compound financial instruments

The component parts of compounded financial instruments (non-convertible preference shares) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilties and equity in acoordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of financials liability and an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similiar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recognised as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished at the instrument’s maturity date.

Equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, and is not subsequently remeasured.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognised directly in equity.

Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component and are amortised over the lives of the instrument using the effective interest method.

Financial Liabilities

All the financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss, depending on the classification of the financial liabilities.

Derecognition of financial liabilities:

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligation are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between the lender of debt instrument with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the term of an existing liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments:

The Company enters into derivative contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, including call spread currency option and interest rate swap.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of profit or loss immediately.
