Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a
financial asset is recognized at fair value, in case of financial assets which
are recognized at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction
cost is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the
transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at
amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of both:
(a) business model for managing the financial assets, and
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold
financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
Financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income (OCI) if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is
achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial
assets, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
Financial Asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit
or loss (FVTPL) unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value
through OCI.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand, bank
balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months
or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the
purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank
overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company''s cash
management.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to
the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual
rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective
evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A
financial asset or a group of assets is impaired and impairment losses are
incurred only if objective evidence of impairment as a resuit of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ''loss event'')
and that loss event or (events) has an impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably
estimated.
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of
impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of trade receivables,
the Company follows the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 -
Financial Instruments- for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The
application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track
changes in credit risk of trade receivable. The Company calculates the
expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the
basis of its historical credit loss experience.
A financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are classified
as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified
as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is
designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and
losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other
financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and
losses are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the
contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration
paid and payable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Debt and equity instruments, issued by the Company, are classified as either
financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an
equity instrument as laid down in Ind AS 109 Financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is
reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right
to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost. The initial cost
of Property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including
non-refundable duties and taxes net of any trade discounts and rebates.
The cost of Property, plant and equipment includes interest on borrowings
(borrowing cost) directly attributable to acquisition, construction or
production of qualifying assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (other
than freehold land, which are stated at cost) and impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when
replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss
during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected
useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no
reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease
term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and useful
lives. The 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 of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the
items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued
use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item
of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in
profit or loss. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in Standalone
financial statements.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Stores and spares includes tangible items and are expected to be used for a
period more than 1 year.
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 profit or loss.
Plant and Equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of
Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property,
plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company
and the cost of the item can be measured reliably entity.
(iii) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the
Straight line method based on the useful life of the assets as estimated
by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as
per the requirement of Schedule II. The estimate of the useful life of the
assets has been assessed based on technical advice which considered the
nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear,
the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes,
manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or its
estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease
(95 years for land at Mahape, 77 years for land at Surat and 71 years for Land
at Ginza Surat).
The Company has used the following useful lives of the property, plant and
equipment to provide depreciation.
PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are
disclosed as Capital work in-progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment
outstanding at each reporting date is classified as capital advances under
''other non-current assets'' and the cost of assets not put to use before such
date are disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at
cost.
Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Such assets are
recognized where it is probable that the future economic benefits
attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset
can be measured reliably.
⢠its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than
those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities)
⢠any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its
intended use.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair
value at the acquisition date.
Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary
to bring the item to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management, are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Internally generated intangible assets (development costs)
Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be
demonstrated that:
(i) It is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold
(ii) Adequate resources are available to complete the development
(iii) There is an intention to complete and sell the product
(iv) The Company is able to sell the product
(v) Sale of the product will generate future economic benefits, and
(vi) Expenditure on project can be measured reliably.
Capitalised development costs are amortised over the periods (10 years) the
Company expects to benefit from the products developed. The amortisation
expense is included within the ''depreciation and amortisation expense'' in
the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure
on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in the standalone
statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The residual values, useful lives and method of amortisation of Other
Intangible assets are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future
economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated
useful life. The Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful
life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the
asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that
useful life of an intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes
the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible
assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either
individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets
are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the
intangible asset may be impaired.
The estimated useful life of the assets are as follows:
Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance
sheet are disclosed as Intangible assets under development.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of Intangible assets outstanding at
each reporting date is classified as capital advances under ''other non-current
assets'' and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed
under ''Intangible assets under development''.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale when:
(i) They are available for immediate sale
(ii) Management is committed to a plan to sell
(iii) It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the
plan will be withdrawn
(iv) An active programme to locate a buyer has been initiated
(v) The asset or disposal group is being marketed at a reasonable price in
relation to its fair value, and
(vi) A sale is expected to complete within 12 months from the date of
classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of:
(i) Their carrying amount immediately prior to being classified as held for
sale in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy; and
(ii) Fair value less costs of disposal.
Following their classification as held for sale, non-current assets are not
depreciated.
Raw materials, packing material, stores and spares have been valued at lower
of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for
use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the
finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold
at or above cost. Cost is determined on a FIFO basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods has been valued at lower of cost and
net realizable value. Cost includes materials and labour and a proportion of
manufacturing overheads based on normal capacity. Cost is determined on
FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
Investments in subsidiaries carried at cost less accumulated impairment
losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying
amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to
its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the
difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.
The Company uses the principles laid down by the Ind-AS 115 to determine
the revenue to be recognized through a five-step approach:
- Identify the contract(s) with customer.
- Identify separate performance obligations in the contract.
- Determine the transaction price.
- Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
- Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company uses the principles laid down by Ind AS above to recognize
revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
Revenue is recognized to the extent of transaction price allocated to the
performance obligation satisfied. Performance obligation is satisfied at a
point in time when the control of assets (goods or services) is transferred
to a customer. Revenue excludes goods and services tax which is recorded
separately. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration
received or receivable, net of discounts and other indirect taxes.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when property
in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are
transferred to the customer and it is probable that future economic benefits
will flow to the entity. The Company collects applicable taxes on behalf of
the government and therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to
the Company.
The company primarily earns revenue by providing Shipping, Packing,
Storage/Warehousing Charges etc.
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in
connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences
arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are
regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as part of the cost of
the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred.
The cost incurred for obtaining financing are deferred and amortised to
interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the
related financing arrangement.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by
applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the
reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in
terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items
which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a
foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when
the values were determined.
All exchange differences are accounted for in the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the
service are classified short-term employee benefits and they are recognized
in the year in which the employee renders the related services. For the
amount expected to be paid, the Company recognize an undiscounted
liability if they have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay the
amount as a result of past service provided by employees, and the obligation
can be estimated reliably.
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme,
approved superannuation scheme, which are a defined contribution
schemes, are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss as
incurred.
The Company''s gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India
is a defined benefit plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of the
gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current
and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present
value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The present value
of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on
actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at balance sheet
date using the Projected Unit Credit Method which recognizes each period
of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement
and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The
obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash
flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the
obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on
Government securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation
results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the
net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and
the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan. Remeasurements as a result of experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in Other
Comprehensive Income such accumulated re-measurement balances are
never reclassified into the Statement of Profit and Loss subsequently.
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve
months after the end of the year in which the employee renders the related
services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the estimated
liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees, which is
determined at each balance sheet date based on an actuarial valuation by an
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount
rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under other
long term employee benefits, are based on the market yields on Government
of India securities as at the balance sheet date. Re-measurement gains and
losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company presents the above liability/(asset) as current and non-current
in the balance sheet as per actuarial valuation by the independent actuary.
Equity-settled plans are accounted at fair value as at the grant date. The
fair value of the share-based option is determined at the grant date using a
market-based option valuation model (Black Scholes Option Valuation Model).
The fair value of the option is recorded as compensation expense amortized
over the vesting period of the options, with a corresponding increase in
Reserves and Surplus under the head Employee Stock Option account. On
exercise of the option, the proceeds are recorded as share capital.
The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each
reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting
period has expired and the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the Statement
of Profit and Loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative
expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is
recognized in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account
when determining the grant date fair value of options, but the likelihood of
the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate
of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

Repro India Limited ("the Company") is a public Company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (As Amended Companies Act 2013). Its equity shares are listed on Bombay Stock
Exchange and National Stock Exchange in India. The Company''s registered office is at 11th Floor, Sun Paradise Business Plaza, B Wing, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai -400 013, India.
The Company provides print solutions to clients, which mainly includes value engineering, creative designing, pre-press, printing, post-press, knitting
and assembly, warehousing, dispatch, database management, sourcing and procurement, localization and web based services.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the ''Ind AS'') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''the Act'') read with Rule 3 of 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 statements.
These standalone financials statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 10, 2024.
B. Functional and presentation currency
The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the entity''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest rupees in lakhs unless otherwise indicated.
The standalone financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated. All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle, and the criteria set out in schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013.
Based on the nature of products and time lag between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents,
12 months period has been considered by the Company as its normal operating cycle.
The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties is included in the following notes:
Note 3.4 - Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment
Note 3.11 - Measurement of defined benefit obligations
(key actuarial assumptions) & Employee Stock Option Plan
Note 3.12 - Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies
Note 3.13 - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets
Note 3.1 - Provision for doubtful debts with expected credit loss model
Note 3.7 - Impairment of Investments.
Note 3.5 - Capitalisation of Intagible assets
The Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial instruments.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind
AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
The Company has recognized certain assets at fair value and further information is included in the relevant notes.
The Company reviews its carrying value of investments carried at cost or amortised cost annually, or more frequently when there is indication for
impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide notification dated March 31, 2023 notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules,
2023, which amended certain accounting standards (see below), and are effective April 1, 2023:
⢠Disclosure of accounting policies - amendments to Ind AS 1
⢠Definition of accounting estimates - amendments to Ind AS 8
⢠Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction - amendments to Ind AS 12"
The Company adopted Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to Ind AS 1) from April 1, 2023. Although the amendments did not result in any
changes in the accounting policies themselves, they impacted the accounting policy information disclosed in the financial statements. The amendments require the disclosure of ''material'' rather than ''significant'' accounting policies. The amendments also provide guidance on the application of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies, assisting entities to provide useful, entity-specific accounting policy information that users need to understand other information in the financial statements.
The other amendments to Ind AS notified by these rules are primarily in the
nature of clarifications.
These amendments did not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a
financial asset is recognized at fair value, in case of financial assets which are recognized at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction cost is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of both:
(a) business model for managing the financial assets, and
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial Asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to
hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is
achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial Asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company''s cash management.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ''loss event'') and that loss event or (events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of trade receivables, the Company follows the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 -
Financial Instruments- for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk of trade receivable. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the
basis of its historical credit loss experience.
A financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other
financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the
carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Debt and equity instruments, issued by the Company, are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument as laid down in Ind AS 109 Financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost. The initial cost of Property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including
non-refundable duties and taxes net of any trade discounts and rebates.
The cost of Property, plant and equipment includes interest on borrowings (borrowing cost) directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (other than freehold land, which are stated at cost) and impairment losses, if any.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and useful lives. The 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 of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued
use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between
sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in Standalone financial statements.
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Stores and spares includes tangible items and are expected to be used for a period more than 1 year. 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 profit or loss. Plant and Equipment which are not ready for
intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as "Capital work-in-progress".
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property,
plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably entity.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the Straight line method based on the useful life of the assets as estimated
by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirement of Schedule II.The estimate of the useful life of the assets has been assessed based on technical advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease (95 years for land at Mahape, 77 years for land at Surat and 71 years for Land at Ginza Surat).

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Capital work-in-progress.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date is classified as capital advances under
''other non-current assets'' and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''.
intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Other intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Such assets are recognized where it is probable that the future economic benefits
attributable to the assets will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The cost of an intangible asset comprises: ⢠its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable
from the taxing authorities) ⢠any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.
Income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
Internally generated intangible assets (development costs)
Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be
demonstrated that:
(i) It is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold
(ii) Adequate resources are available to complete the development
(iii) There is an intention to complete and sell the product
(iv) The Company is able to sell the product
(v) Sale of the product will generate future economic benefits, and
(vi) Expenditure on project can be measured reliably.
Capitalised development costs are amortised over the periods (6 years) the Company expects to benefit from the products developed. The amortisation expense is included within the ''depreciation and amortisation expense'' in
the standalone statement of profit and loss.
Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure
on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The residual values, useful lives and method of amortisation of Other Intangible assets are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful
life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible
assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Intangibles which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance sheet are disclosed as Intangible assets under development.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date is classified as capital advances under ''other non-current assets'' and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under ''Capital work-in-progress''.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale when:
(i) They are available for immediate sale
(ii) Management is committed to a plan to sell
(iii) It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn
(iv) An active programme to locate a buyer has been initiated
(v) The asset or disposal group is being marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value, and
(vi) A sale is expected to complete within 12 months from the date of
classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of:
(i) Their carrying amount immediately prior to being classified as held for sale in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy; and
(ii) Fair value less costs of disposal.
Following their classification as held for sale, non-current assets are not depreciated.
Raw materials, packing material, stores and spares have been valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a FIFO basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods has been valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal capacity. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Investments in subsidiaries carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when property
in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. The Company collects applicable taxes on behalf of the government and therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company.
Income recognition for services takes place as and when the services are
performed in accordance with IND AS 115- Revenue from contracts with the customers.
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Merchandise Exports from India scheme, focus market scheme and other benefits
available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are recognized on
accrual basis to the extent it is probable that realization is certain.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the
Company''s right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis as per terms of relevant contracts or by using effective interest method, where applicable.
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in
connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are
regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred.
The cost incurred for obtaining financing are deferred and amortised to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related financing arrangement.
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by
applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Ail exchange differences are accounted for in the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Aii employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified short-term employee benefits and they are recognized in the year in which the employee renders the related services. For the
amount expected to be paid, the Company recognize an undiscounted liability if they have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by employees, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme,
approved superannuation scheme, which are a defined contribution schemes, are charged to the standalone statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The Company''s gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India is a defined benefit plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The present value
of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on
actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at balance sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement
and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income such accumulated re-measurement balances are never reclassified into the Statement of Profit and Loss subsequently.
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the year in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees, which is determined at each balance sheet date based on an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under other long term employee benefits, are based on the market yields on Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date. Re-measurement gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company presents the above liability/(asset) as current and non-current in the balance sheet as per actuarial valuation by the independent actuary.
Equity-settled plans are accounted at fair value as at the grant date. The fair value of the share-based option is determined at the grant date using a market-based option valuation model (Black Scholes Option Valuation Model). The fair value of the option is recorded as compensation expense amortized over the vesting period of the options, with a corresponding increase in Reserves and Surplus under the head Employee Stock Option account.
On exercise of the option, the proceeds are recorded as share capital.
The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative
expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company''s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted.
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable
obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, 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 recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company operates.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities
and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
MAT is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised, it is credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss and is considered as (MAT Credit Entitlement). The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit are in the form of unused tax credits that are carried forward by the Company for a specified period of time, hence, it is presented as Deferred Tax Asset.
The segment reporting of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Ind-AS-108, "Operating Segment" (specified under the section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rule 2015 (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provision of the Act).
Operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating decision
maker (''CODM'') who makes decision about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance.
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature of products and services provided. The company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for
preparing and presenting the financial statements of the company.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares), if any that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit
or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 effective from April 1, 2019 using
modified retrospective approach. For the purpose of preparation of Standalone Financial Information, management has evaluated the impact of change in accounting policies required due to adoption of lnd AS 116
for year ended March 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company has not restated comparative information.
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a define period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified assets, the Company assesses whether:
(i) the contact involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the [ease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
As a lessee, The Company recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-
[ine method from the commencement date to the ear[ier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term. The
estimated useful lives of right of use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right of use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate imp[icit in the [ease or, if that rate cannot be readi[y determined, the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments and lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option; The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company has elected not to recognise right of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these [eases as an expense on a straight-[ine basis over the
lease term. The Company applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying
amounts of non-financial 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. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the 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 the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless
the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
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 the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business
combination that are not individually identified and separately recognised. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer Note 44 for a description of impairment testing procedures.
All amounts disclosed in financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per requirement of Schedule III of the Act, unless
otherwise stated.
As on the date of release of these financial statements, MCA has not issued any standards/amendments to accounting standards which are effective from April 1, 2024.
Mar 31, 2018
1. Significant accounting policies
1.1 Financial assets
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognized at fair value, in case of financial assets which are recognized at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction cost is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost is attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
The Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) on the basis of both:
(a) business model for managing the financial assets, and
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
A Financial Asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
(i) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and
(ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A Financial Asset shall be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) unless it is measured at amortised cost or at fair value through OCI.
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.
(iii) Derecognition
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.
(iv) Impairment of Financial Asset
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurrred only if objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occured after the initial recognition of the asset (a âloss eventâ) and that loss event or (events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. In case of trade receivables, the Company follows the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments- for recognition of impairment loss allowance. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk of trade receivable. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.
1.2 Financial liabilities
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
A financial liability is recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
(ii) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.
(iii) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(iv) Classification as Debt or Equity:
Debt and equity instruments, issued by the Company, are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
1.3 Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
1.4 Property, Plant and Equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
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 directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Pre-operative expenses such as salaries, rent, octroi charges, brokerage, legal and professional fees, etc. incurred during installation period are capitalized under the respective asset head as part of the indirect installation cost, to the extent to which the expenditure is allocable / apportioned to the asset-head. In case of composite contract involving acquisition of Property, plant and equipment and providing services, the Property, plant and equipment are capitalized at the respective fair value of the asset acquired.
Stores and spares includes tangible items and are expected to be used for a period more than 1 year.
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 profit or loss.
Plant and Equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as âCapital work-in-progressâ.
The residual values,useful lives and method of depreciation of property,plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of PPE outstanding at each reporting date are classified as capital advances under Other Non-Current Assets.
(ii) Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected the option of fair value as deemed cost for all tangible assets as on date of transition i.e 1st April 2016. The Company has fair valued all tangible assets existing as on 1st April 2016 using an independent valuers report.
(iii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the entity.
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the Straight Line Method based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The estimate of the useful life of the assets has been assessed based on technical advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease (95 years for land at Mahape, 77 years for land at Surat and 71 years for Land at Ginza).
The Company has used the following useful lives of the property, plant and equipment to provide depreciation.
1.5. Intangible assets
(i) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred
The residual values,useful lives and method of depreciation of property,plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
(iii) Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognized as at 1 April 2016, measured as per the IGAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
(v) Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The estimated useful life of the assets are as follows
1.6. Inventories
Raw materials, packing material, stores and spares has been valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a FIFO basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods has been valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.Cost includes materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal capacity.Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
1.7. Investments
The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its equity investments in subsidiaries as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the IGAAP and use that as the deemed cost as at the transition date pursuant to the exemption under Ind AS 101.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
1.8. Revenue
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control over, or managerial involvement with, the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods in the ordinary activities is recognised when property in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. The Company collects applicable taxes on behalf of the government and therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company.
(ii) Rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognized as per completed service contract method.
(iii) Export Incentives
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Merchandise Exports from India scheme, focus market scheme and other benefits available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the extent it is probable that realization is certain.
(iv) Recognition of dividend income, interest income
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Companyâs right to receive payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis as per terms of relevant contracts or by using effective interest method, where applicable.
1.9. Government Grants :
Government Grants are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the same will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss by way of a deduction to the related expense on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the related asset.
1.10. Borrowing cost
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
The cost incurred for obtaining financing are deferred and amortised to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the related financing arrangement
1.11. Foreign currency transactions
(i) Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
(ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
(iii) Exchange difference
All exchange differences are accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
1.12. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified short-term employee benefits and they are recognized in the year in which the employee renders the related services. For the amount expected to be paid, the Company recognize an undiscounted liability if they have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by employees, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii) Post-employment benefits:
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme, approved superannuation scheme, which are a defined contribution schemes, are charged to the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The Companyâs gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India is a defined benefit plan. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at balance sheet date using the Projected
Unit Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in acturial assumptions are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income such accumulated re-measurment balances are never reclassified into the Statement of Profit and Loss subsequently.
(iii) Other long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the year in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the estimated liability for leave as a result of services rendered by employees, which is determined at each balance sheet date based on an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under other long term employee benefits, are based on the market yields on Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date. Re-measurement gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of profit and loss.
The Company presents the above liability/(asset) as current and non- current in the balance sheet as per actuarial valuation by the independent actuary.
(iv) Employee Stock Option Plan
Employees Stock Options Plans (âESOPsâ): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under âEmployee Stock Options Outstanding reserveâ. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.
1.13. Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted.
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, 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 recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
1.14. Income Tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
(i) Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and it is intended to realize the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
(iii) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT):
MAT is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised, it is credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss and is considered as (MAT Credit Entitlement). The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period. Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit are in the form of unused tax credits that are carried forward by the Company for a specified period of time, hence, it is presented as Deferred Tax Asset.
1.15. Operating segments Identification of segments
Operating results are regulary reviwed by the Chief Operating decision maker (âCODMâ) who makes decision about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess its performance.
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature of products and services provided. The company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and prsentinig the financial statements of the company.
1.16. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares), if any that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.17. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand, bank balances and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
1.18. Operating leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from leased assets are consumed. The aggregate benefit of incentives (excluding inflationary increases where rentals are structured solely to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which the benefits accrue) provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
1.19. Impairment of non-Financial assets:
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial 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. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the 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 the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
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 the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
The Company has availed the deemed cost exemption in relation to the intangible assets on the date of transition and hence the net block carrying amount has been considered as the gross block carrying amount on that date. Below are the details for the gross block value and the accumulated amortisation on April 1, 2016 under the IGAAP.
Mar 31, 2017
Repro India Limited (âThe Companyâ) is a public Company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Its shares are listed on stock exchanges in India. The Company provides print solutions to client, which mainly includes value engineering, creative designing, pre-press, printing, post-press, knitting and assembly, warehousing, dispatch, database management, sourcing and procurement, localization and web based services.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) (to the extent notified), read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, read with Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 applicable with effect from 1 April 2016 and other generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in India, to the extent applicable, under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting and other relevant provision of the Act.
2.1 Significant accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Companyâs normal operating cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
a. it is expected to be settled in the Companyâs normal operating cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date; or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses. The cost of fixed assets includes taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities), duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.
From accounting periods commencing on or after 7 December 2006, the Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and depreciates the same over the remaining life of an asset.
During the year, pursuant to the notification of Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 and as per the requirements of the revised Accounting Standard 10 Property Plant and Equipment (applicable effective from 1 April 2016), the Company has capitalized spare parts to tangible fixed assets that are held for production of goods and are expected to be used for more than a period of twelve months.
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets:
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided using the Straight Line Method based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by the management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The estimate of the useful life of the assets has been assessed based on technical advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.
In case of few plant and machineries wherein depreciation is provided based on the estimated useful lives as determined by the Companyâs management based on the technical advice by a certified valuer. The estimated useful life of such plant and machinery is 5 and 21 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease (95 years for land at Mahape, 77 years for land at Surat and 71 years for Land at Ginza).
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Software is amortized over its estimated useful life of six years on straight line method.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
Inventories
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is recognized when property in the goods or all significant risks and rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods and regarding its collection. Sales are booked net of trade discount and other applicable taxes. The Company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as per completed service contract method.
Export incentives:
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Merchandise Exports from India scheme, focus market scheme and other benefits available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the extent it is probable that realization is certain.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking in to account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is established by the balance sheet date.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange differences
From accounting periods commencing on or after 7 December 2006, the Company accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/ settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:
Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the âForeign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Accountâ and amortized over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.
All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of 1 and 2 above, the Company treats a foreign monetary item as âlong-term foreign currency monetary itemâ, if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange differences for this purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items for the period. In other words, the Company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
(a) Short-term employee benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include compensated absences such as paid annual leave and sickness leave. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognized during the period.
(b) Post-employment benefits:
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme, which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of profit and loss as incurred.
The Companyâs gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India is a defined benefit plan. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary at balance sheet date using the Projected Unit Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Other Long-term employment benefits:
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date and is determined based on actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The discount rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or cash-generating units (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currency market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the assetâs or cash-generating unitâs recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assetâs recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does
not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to a tax holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Companyâs gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the timing differences originate. However, the Company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.
At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as âMAT Credit Entitlement.â The Company reviews the âMAT credit entitlementâ asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
Employee Stock Option Plan
The measurement and disclosure of employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis.
Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature of the products and services provided. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Company as a whole.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The provisions are measured on an undiscounted basis.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, 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 recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles set out in the ICAI Guidance Note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in âCash Flow Hedge Reserve accountâ under Reserves and Surplus and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the âCash Flow Hedge Reserve accountâ are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects profit and loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in âCash Flow Hedge Reserve accountâ is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in âCash Flow Hedge Reserve accountâ is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.â
Operating leases
Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. The total lease rentals (including scheduled rental increases) in respect of an asset taken on operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit. Initial direct costs incurred specifically for an operating lease are deferred and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease term.
Measurement of EBITDA
As permitted by the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, (âICAIâ) on the revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of statement of profit and loss. In its measurement, the company does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, finance costs and tax expenses. Finance cost includes interest on borrowings, amortization of premium on forward contracts and exchange difference to the extent considered as an adjustment to borrowing costs.

A) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized
prospectively in current and future periods.
b) Current-non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
a. it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or
consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting
date; or
d. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial
assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
a. it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating
cycle;
b. it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c. it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date;
or
d. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms
of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in
its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial
liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for
processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
c) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses. The
cost of fixed assets includes taxes (other than those subsequently
recoverable from tax authorities), duties, freight and other incidental
expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective
assets.
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement
of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of an asset.
d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets:
Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided using the Straight
Line Method based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by the
management and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as per
the requirement of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The estimate
of the useful life of the assets has been assessed based on technical
advice which considered the nature of the asset, the usage of the
asset, expected physical wear and tear, the operating conditions of the
asset, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and
maintenance support, etc.
In case of few plant and machineries wherein depreciation is provided
based on the estimated useful lives as determined by the Company''s
management based on the technical advice by a certified valuer. The
estimated useful life of such plant and machinery is 5 and 21 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or
its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of
lease (95 years for land at Mahape and 77 years for land at Surat).
e) Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Software is amortized over its estimated useful life of six years on
straight line method.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable
presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed
ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the
persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an
intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the
intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such
intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment
annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All
other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is
an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
f) Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares
Lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other
items held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is
determined on a FIFO basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods
Lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes materials and
labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty
wherever applicable. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
g) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments. On initial recognition, all
investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and
directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and
duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of
cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for
diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary
in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying
amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is
recognized when property in the goods or all significant risks and
rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and no
significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the
consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods and
regarding its collection. Sales are booked net of trade discount and
other applicable taxes. The Company collects sales taxes and value
added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are
not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded
from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount
that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of
liability arising during the year.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as per completed service contract
method.
Export incentives:
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, focus market
scheme, excise duty rebate and other benefits available to the Company
based on guidelines formulated for the respective schemes by the
government authorities. These incentives are recognized as revenue on
accrual basis to the extent it is probable that realization is certain.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is
established by the balance sheet date.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period they occur.
j) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances.
Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are
reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and
non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar
valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange differences
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/
settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:
1. Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary
items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
2. Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency
monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item
Translation Difference Account" and amortized over the remaining life
of the concerned monetary item.
3. All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as
expenses in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of 1 and 2 above, the Company treats a foreign monetary
item as "long-term foreign currency monetary item", if it has a term of
12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with
MCA circular dated August 9, 2012, exchange differences for this
purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency
monetary items for the period. In other words, the Company does not
differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to
the interest cost and other exchange difference.
k) Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits
(a) Short-term employee benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering
the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. These
benefits include compensated absences such as paid annual leave and
sickness leave. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits
expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees
is recognized during the period.
(b) Post-employment benefits:
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme,
which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of
profit and loss as incurred.
The Company''s gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India
is a defined benefit plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of
the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of
future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service
in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to
determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is
deducted. The present value of the obligation under such defined
benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by
an independent actuary at balance sheet date using the Projected Unit
Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to
additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit
separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured
at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount
rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under
defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Government
securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation results
in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net
total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and
the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Other Long-term employment benefits:
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve
months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the
related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of
the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date and is
determined based on actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using
the Projected Unit Credit Method. The discount rates used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit
plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the
balance sheet date.
l) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or
when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company
estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net
selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currency market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In
determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken
into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified,
an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset''s or cash- generating unit''s recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
m) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company
operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the current
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the
taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
profits.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to a tax holiday under
the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the
respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset
or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which
reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Company''s
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse
after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the
timing differences originate. However, the Company restricts
recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes,
the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse
first.
At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized
deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement
of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the
Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The
Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting
date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
n) Employee Stock Option Plan
The measurement and disclosure of employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
o) Segment reporting Identification of segments
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature
of the products and services provided. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of
the Company operate. Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the
accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
statements of the Company as a whole.
p) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company
has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best estimate
of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
balance sheet date. The provisions are measured on an undiscounted
basis.
r) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable
obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount
cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant
provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of
resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed in the financial statements. However, 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
recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
s) Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks
associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly
probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward
contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge
accounting principles set out in Accounting Standard 30 (AS 30)
"Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". These forward
contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in
the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and
effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in
"Cash Flow Hedge Reserve account" under Reserves and Surplus and the
ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve
account" are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
same period during which the forecasted transaction affects profit and
loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain
or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge
Reserve account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs.
If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net
cumulative gain or loss recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve account"
is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss."
t) Operating leases
Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified
as operating leases. The total lease rentals (including scheduled
rental increases) in respect of an asset taken on operating lease are
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis
over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern of the benefit. Initial direct costs
incurred specifically for an operating lease are deferred and charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease term.
b. Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all
equity shares rank equally with regard to dividend and share in the
Company''s residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive
dividend as declared from time to time. The voting rights of an equity
shareholder on a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to its
share of the paid-up equity capital of the Company. Voting rights
cannot be exercised in respect of shares on which any call or other
sums presently payable have not been paid.
During the year ended March 31,2015, the amount of per share dividend
recognized as distributions to equity shareholders was Rs. 10 (March
31,2014 : Rs. 10).
On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be
entitled to receive the residual assets of the Company, remaining after
distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of
equity shares held.
e. Shares reserved for issue under options
For details of shares reserved for issue under the Employee Stock
Option Plan (ESOP) of the Company, please refer note 27.
Short Term Borrowings from banks are secured by hypothecation of stock,
receivables and other current assets of the Company both present and
future ranking pari passu with all banks. The packing credit facility
of Rs. Nil (March 31, 2014: Rs. 127,785,707) are partly secured by second
charge on the fixed assets of the Company ranking pari passu with all
banks.
Cash credit, bank overdraft and working capital demand loans from banks
are repayable on demand and carries interest @12% to 14% p.a.
Bill discounting and letter of credit are repayable within 90 days
Packing credit loans are repayable within 180 days and carry interest @
1.2% to 3.1%. p.a.
Buyers credit from banks carried interest @ LIBOR Plus 0.5% to 0.8%.
p.a.
Margin money deposits given as security
Margin money deposits with a carrying amount of Rs. 6,983,749 (March
31,2014: Rs. 25,852,393) are subject to first charge to secure the
Company''s cash credit loans.
Mar 31, 2014
A) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
prospectively in current and future periods.
b) Current - non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
a) it is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or
consumption in, the Company''s normal operating cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting
date; or
d) it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being
exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after
the reporting date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial
assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the
following criteria:
a) it is expected to be settled in the Company''s normal operating
cycle;
b) it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
c) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date;
or
d) the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms
of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in
its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial
liabilities.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for
processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
c) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and
directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working
condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition
of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the
period till such assets are ready for its intended use.
From accounting periods commencing on or after 7 December 2006, the
Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement
of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
In accordance with MCA circular dated 9 August 2012, exchange
differences adjusted to the cost of fixed assets are total differences,
arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset, for the period. In other words, the
Company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising
from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an
adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.
d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method, using the
rates arrived at based on the useful lives of the fixed assets
estimated by the management, which corresponds to the rate prescribed
under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or
its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of
lease (95 years for land at Mahape and 77 years for land at Surat).
Assets acquired on hire purchase/finance lease are generally
depreciated over the period of useful life of assets estimated by the
management, which corresponds to the rate prescribed under Schedule XIV
of the Companies Act, 1956 on a straight-line basis unless there is no
reasonable certainty that the ownership of the asset would be obtained
at the end of the agreement term. Where there is no reasonable
certainty that the ownership of the asset would be obtained at the end
of the agreement term such assets are depreciated over the shorter of
the contract term or the asset''s useful life in accordance with the
Company''s normal depreciation policy.
e) Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Software is amortized over its estimated useful life of six years on
straight-line method.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable
presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed
ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the
persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an
intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the
intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such
intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use are
tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the
cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed
for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible
asset may be impaired.
f) Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares
Lower of cost or net realizable value. However, materials and other
items held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Customs Duty on
imported stock lying at custom bonded warehouse is not provided pending
decision on clearance under export incentive scheme. Cost is determined
on a FIFO basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods
Lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes materials and
labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty
wherever applicable. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
g) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost
comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges
such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of
cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for
diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary
in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying
amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of goods:
Revenue from sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is
recognized when property in the goods or all significant risks and
rewards of their ownership are transferred to the customer and no
significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the
consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods and
regarding its collection. Sales are booked net of trade discount and
other applicable taxes. The Company collects sales taxes and value
added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the Government and, therefore, these are
not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded
from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount
that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of
liability arising during the year.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as per completed service contract
method.
Export incentives:
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Duty
Entitlement Pass Book credit, excise duty rebate and other benefits
available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the
respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are
recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the extent it is probable
that realization is certain.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking in to account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is
established by the balance sheet date.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortisation of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from short-term foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur.
j) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are
reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and
non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar
valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange differences
From accounting periods commencing on or after 7 December 2006, the
Company accounts for exchange differences arising on
translation/settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:
1. Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary
items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalised and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
2. Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency
monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item
Translation Difference Account" and amortised over the remaining life
of the concerned monetary item.
3. All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as
expenses in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of 1 and 2 above, the Company treats a foreign monetary
item as "long-term foreign currency monetary item", if it has a term of
12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with
MCA circular dated 9 August 2012, exchange differences for this
purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency
monetary items for the period. In other words, the Company does not
differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to
the interest cost and other exchange difference.
k) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
(a) Short-term employee benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering
the service are classified as short-term employee benefits. These
benefits include compensated absences such as paid annual leave and
sickness leave. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits
expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees
is recognized during the period.
(b) Post-employment benefits:
Contributions payable to Government administered provident fund scheme,
which is a defined contribution scheme, are charged to the statement of
profit and loss as incurred.
The Company''s gratuity scheme with Life Insurance Corporation of India
is a defined benefit plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of
the gratuity benefit scheme is calculated by estimating the amount of
future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service
in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to
determine its present value and the fair value of any plan assets is
deducted. The present value of the obligation under such defined
benefit plan is determined based on actuarial valuation carried out by
an independent actuary at balance sheet date using the Projected Unit
Credit Method which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to
additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit
separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured
at the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The discount
rates used for determining the present value of the obligation under
defined benefit plan are based on the market yields on Government
securities as at the balance sheet date. When the calculation results
in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the net
total of any unrecognized actuarial losses and past service costs and
the present value of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in
future contributions to the plan. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
(c) Other Long-term employment benefits:
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve
months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the
related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of
the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date and is
determined based on actuarial valuation by an independent actuary using
the Projected Unit Credit Method. The discount rates used for
determining the present value of the obligation under defined benefit
plan, are based on the market yields on Government securities as at the
balance sheet date.
l) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or
when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company
estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net
selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currency market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In
determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken
into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified,
an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset''s or cash-generating unit''s recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
m) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company
operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the current
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the
taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
profits.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to a tax holiday under
the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the
respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset
or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which
reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Company''s
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse
after the tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the
timing differences originate. However, the Company restricts
recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes,
the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse
first.
At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized
deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement
of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the
Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The
Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting
date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
n) Employee Stock Option Plan
The measurement and disclosure of employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight-line basis.
o) Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature
of the products and services provided. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of
the Company operate.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the
accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
statements of the Company as a whole.
p) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q) Provisions
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company
has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the best estimate
of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the
balance sheet date. The provisions are measured on an undiscounted
basis.
r) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable
obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount
cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant
provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of
resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed in the financial statements. However, 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
recognized in the period in which the change occurs.
s) Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks
associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly
probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward
contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge
accounting principles set out in Accounting Standard 30 (AS 30)
"Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". These forward
contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in
the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and
effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in
"Cash Flow Hedge Reserve account" under Reserves and Surplus and the
ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Statement of
Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve
account" are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the
same period during which the forecasted transaction affects profit and
loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain
or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge
Reserve account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs.
If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net
cumulative gain or loss recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve account"
is immediately transferred to the "Statement of Profit and Loss".
t) Measurement of EBITDA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate
line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Company
measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/(loss) from continuing
operations. In its measurement, the Company does not include
depreciation and amortization expense, finance costs, interest income
and tax expense.
u) Operating leases
Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified
as operating leases. The total lease rentals (including scheduled
rental increases) in respect of an asset taken on operating lease are
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis
over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern of the benefit. Initial direct
costs incurred specifically for an operating lease are deferred and
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the lease term.
Mar 31, 2013
A) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the
management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities in future periods.
b) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and
directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working
condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to
acquisition of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to
get ready for its intended use are also included to the extent they
relate to the period till such assets are ready for its intended use.
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement
of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
In accordance with MCA circular dated August 9, 2012, exchange
differences adjusted to the cost of fixed assets are total differences,
arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset, for the period. In other words, the
Company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising
from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an
adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.
c) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method, using the
rates arrived at based on the useful lives of the fixed assets
estimated by the management, which corresponds to the rate prescribed
under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act 1956.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or
its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of
lease (95 years for land at Mahape and 77 years for land at Surat).
Assets acquired on hire purchase/finance lease are generally
depreciated over the period of useful life of assets estimated by the
management, which corresponds to the rate prescribed under Schedule XIV
of the Companies Act, 1956 on a straight-line basis unless there is no
reasonable certainty that the ownership of the asset would be obtained
at the end of the agreement term. Where there is no reasonable
certainty that the ownership of the asset would be obtained at the end
of the agreement term such assets are depreciated over the shorter of
the contract term or the asset''s useful life in accordance with the
Company''s normal depreciation policy.
d) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses if any. Software is amortized over its
estimated useful life of six years on straight line method.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful economic life. The Company uses a rebuttable
presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed
ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the
persuasive evidence exists to the affect that useful life of an
intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the
intangible asset over the best estimate of its useful life. Such
intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use are
tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-
generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset
may be impaired.
e) Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares
Lower of cost or net realizable value. However, materials and other
items held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Custom Duty on
imported stock lying at customers bonded warehouse is not provided
pending decision on clearance under export incentive scheme. Cost is
determined on a FIFO basis by applying specific identification method
for paper and on FIFO basis for other raw materials, packing materials,
stores and spares
Work-in-progress and finished goods
Lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes materials and
labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty
wherever applicable. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
f) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost
comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges
such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of
cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for
diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary
in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying
amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
g) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of Goods:
Sales of printed material and fulfillment product are recognized on
transfer of property in goods and performance of service. Sales is
booked net of trade discount and other applicable taxes. The Company
collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the
government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to
the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty
deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the
revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during
the year.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as per completed service contract
method.
Export incentives:
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, duty
entitlement pass book credit, excise duty rebate and other benefits
available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the
respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are
recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the extent it is probable
that realization is certain.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking in to account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is
established by the balance sheet date.
h) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from short term foreign currency borrowings to the
extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur.
i) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Non- monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are
reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and
non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar
valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange differences
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company accounts for exchange differences arising on
translation/settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:
1. Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary
items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.
2. Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency
monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item
Translation Difference Account" and amortized over the remaining life
of the concerned monetary item.
3. All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as
expenses in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of 1 and 2 above, the Company treats a foreign monetary
item as "long-term foreign currency monetary item", if it has a term of
12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with
MCA circular dated August 9, 2012, exchange differences for this
purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency
monetary items for the period. In other words, the Company does not
differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to
the interest cost and other exchange difference.
Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk
of an existing asset/liability
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contract is amortized and recognized as an expense/income over the life
of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts, except the
contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items, are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which
the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation
or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognized as
income or as expense for the period. Any gain/loss arising on forward
contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items is
recognized in accordance with paragraph 1 and 2 above.
j) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the
contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes
contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure,
when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution
payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the
scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution
already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is
recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre payment will lead to,
for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and the cost is
provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on Projected Unit
Credit method made at the end of each financial year.
Short term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates.
Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial
valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per Projected Unit Credit
Method.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to statement of profit and
loss account and are not deferred.
k) Leases (where the Company is lessee)
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item,
are capitalized at the inception of lease term at the lower of the fair
value and present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments
are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are
recognized as finance cost in the statement of profit and loss account.
Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are
capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the
risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the statement of Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
l) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or
when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company
estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount
is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net selling
price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that
are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its
recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects currency market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net
selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if
available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate
valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset''s or cash-generating unit''s recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
m) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company
operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the current
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the
taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
profits.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to a tax holiday under
the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the
respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset
or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which
reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Company''s
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse
after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the
timing differences originate. However, the Company restricts
recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes,
the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse
first.
At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized
deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it
becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement
of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the
Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The
Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting
date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
n) Employee Stock Option Plan
The measurement and disclosure of employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
o) Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature
of the products and services provided. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of
the Company operate.
Segment Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the
accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
statements of the Company as a whole.
p) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
r) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short- term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
s) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.
t) Derivative instruments
In accordance with ICAl announcement, derivative contracts, other than
foreign currency forward contracts covered under AS 11 are marked to
market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss, if any, after
considering the offsetting effect of gain on the underlying hedged
item, is charged to the statement of profit and loss. Net gain, if any,
after considering the offsetting effect of loss on the underlying
hedged item, is ignored.
u) Measurement of EBITDA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate
line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Company
measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/(loss) from continuing
operations. In its measurement, the Company does not include
depreciation and amortization expense, finance costs, interest income
and tax expense.
Mar 31, 2012
A) Change in accounting policy
Presentation and disclosure of financial statements
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Revised Schedule VI notified
under the Companies Act, 1956, has become applicable to the Company,
for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The
adoption of revised Schedule VI does not impact recognition and
measurement principles followed for preparation of financial
statements. However, it has significant impact on presentation and
disclosures made in the financial statements. The Company has also
reclassified the previous year figures in accordance with the
requirements applicable in the current year.
b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the
management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes
requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities in future periods.
c) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and
directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working
condition for its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition
of fixed assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for
its intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the
period till such assets are ready for its intended use.
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement
of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and
depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method, using the
rates arrived at based on the useful lives of the fixed assets
estimated by the management, which corresponds to the rate prescribed
under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or
its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of
lease (95 years for land at Mahape and 77 years for land at Surat).
Assets acquired on hire purchase/finance lease are generally
depreciated over the period of useful life of assets on a straight-
line basis unless there is no reasonable certainty that the ownership
of the asset would be obtained at the end of the agreement term. Where
there is no reasonable certainty that the ownership of the asset would
be obtained at the end of the agreement term such assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the contract term or the asset's useful
life in accordance with the Company's normal depreciation policy.
e) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses if any. Software is amortized over its
estimated useful life of six years on straight-line method.
f) Inventories
Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares
Lower of cost or net realizable value. However, materials and other
items held for use in the production of inventories are not written
down below cost if the finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Custom Duty on
imported stock lying at custom bonded warehouse is not provided pending
decision on clearance under export incentive scheme. Cost is determined
on a FIFO basis by applying specific identification method for paper
and on FIFO basis for other raw materials, packing materials, stores
and spares.
Work-in-progress and finished goods
Lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes materials and
labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal
operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty
wherever applicable. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
g) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost
comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges
such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of
cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.
Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for
diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary
in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying
amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Sale of Goods:
Sales of printed material and fulfillment product are recognized on
transfer of property in goods and performance of service. Sales are
inclusive of excise duty, wherever applicable, but net of trade
discount and other applicable taxes. Export sales are net of freight
expense. The Company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT)
on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic
benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as and when the services are
rendered.
Export incentives:
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Duty
Entitlement Pass Book credit, excise duty rebate and other benefits
available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the
respective schemes by the government authorities.
These incentives are recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the
extent it is probable that realization is certain.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking in to account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognized when the shareholders right to receive payment is
established by the balance sheet date.
i) Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they
are regarded as an adjustment to the interest 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 capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period they occur.
j) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items which are carried
in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are
reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and
non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar
valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.
Exchange differences
From accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the
Company accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/
settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:
1. Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary
items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. For this
purpose, the Company treats a foreign monetary item as "long-term
foreign currency monetary item", if it has a term of 12 months or more
at the date of its origination.
2. Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency
monetary items are accumulated in the "Foreign Currency Monetary Item
Translation Difference Account" and amortized over the remaining life
of the concerned monetary item but not beyond accounting period ended
on or before March 31, 2020.
All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as expenses
in the period in which they arise.
Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk
of an existing asset/liability
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contract is amortized and recognized as an expense/ income over the
life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts, except
the contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items, are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which
the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation
or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognized as
income or as expense for the period. Any gain/loss arising on forward
contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items is
recognized in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 above.
k) Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund and Superannuation
fund are defined contribution schemes and the contributions are charged
to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions to
the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other
than the contribution payable to the respective trusts.
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and the cost is
provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on Projected Unit
Credit method made at the end of each financial year.
Short term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates.
Long-term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial
valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per Projected Unit Credit
Method.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to statement of profit and
loss and are not deferred.
I) Leases (where the Company is lessee)
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item,
are capitalized at the inception of lease term at the lower of the fair
value and present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments
are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are
recognized as finance cost in the profit and loss account. Lease
management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are
capitalized.
Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the
risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
m) Impairment of Tangible and Intangible assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or
when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company
estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's (CGU) net
selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is
determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate
cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or
groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects currency market assessments of
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In
determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken
into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified,
an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset's or cash- generating unit's recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
n) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income-tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India and tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where the Company
operates. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are
those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the currency
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right
exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities
and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to the
taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
profits.
In the situations where the Company is entitled to a tax holiday under
the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the
respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset
or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which
reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the Company's
gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday
period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse
after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the
timing differences originate. However, the Company restricts
recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes,
the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse
first.
At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized
deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement
of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the
Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The
Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting
date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
o) Employee Stock Option Plan
The measurement and disclosure of employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on
Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value
method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of
the option on a straight line basis.
p) Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Company operates in a single business segment in view of the nature
of the products and services provided. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of
the Company operate.
Segment Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the
accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
statements of the Company as a whole.
q) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period
is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights
issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares)
that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
r) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
s) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
t) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not
recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.
u) Derivative instruments
In accordance with ICAI announcement, derivative contracts, other than
foreign currency forward contracts covered under AS 11 are marked to
market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss, if any, after
considering the offsetting effect of gain on the underlying hedged
item, is charged to the statement of profit and loss. Net gain, if any,
after considering the offsetting effect of loss on the underlying
hedged item, is ignored.
v) Measurement of EBITDA
As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the
Companies Act, 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before
interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate
line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The Company
measures EBITDA on the basis of proW(loss) from continuing operations.
In its measurement, the Company does not include depreciation and
amortization expense, finance costs and tax expense.
Mar 31, 2011
A. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respects with the Accounting Standards notified by Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended) and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company
and are consistent with those used in the previous year.
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
period. Although these estimates are based upon managements best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
from these estimates.
c. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
its intended use. Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of fixed
assets which takes substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use are also included to the extent they relate to the period
till such assets are ready to be put to use.
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method as per the
useful lives of the assets estimated by the management, which
corresponds to the rate and in the manner prescribed under Schedule XIV
of the Companies Act, 1956.
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the period of the lease or
its estimated useful life whichever is lower.
Leasehold land is amortised over the primary period of the lease.
Assets acquired on hire purchase/finance lease are generally
depreciated over the period of useful life of assets on a straight-line
basis unless there is no reasonable certainty that the ownership of the
asset would be obtained at the end of the agreement term. Where there
is no reasonable certainty that the ownership of the asset would be
obtained at the end of the agreement term such assets are depreciated
over the shorter of the contract term or the assets useful life in
accordance with the Companys normal depreciation policy.
d. Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the greater of the assets net selling price and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and risks
specific to the asset.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.
e. Intangibles
Software is amortized over its estimated useful life of six years.
g. Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long-term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on
an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at
cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a
decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
h. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Sale of Goods:
Sales of printed material and fulfillment product are recognized on
transfer of property in goods and performance of service. Sales are
inclusive of excise duty, wherever applicable, but net of trade

expense and commission expense.
Export incentive principally comprises of duty drawback, Duty
Entitlement Pass Book credit, excise duty rebate and other benefits
available to the Company based on guidelines formulated for the
respective schemes by the government authorities. These incentives are
recognized as revenue on accrual basis to the extent it is probable
that realization is certain.
Barter Transactions:
Barter transactions are recorded at fair value, being the value at
which the transactions are agreed between the parties and comparable
with similar transactions with other parties.
Income from Services:
Revenue from services is recognized as and when the services are
rendered.
Interest:
Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking in to account
the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends:
Revenue is recognised when the shareholders right to receive payment is
established by the balance sheet date.
i. 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 capitalized as
part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs
are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of
interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds.
j. Foreign Currency Transactions
Initial Recognition:
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount, the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
Conversion:
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are
carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a
foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed
when the values were determined.
Exchange Differences:
Exchange differences in respect of assets acquired from out of India
before accounting period commencing on or after December 7, 2006 were
capitalized as a part of fixed asset till March 31, 2010. Such exchange
differences so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable
capital asset have been adjusted with the cost of such asset during the
financial year 2008-09 and would be depreciated over the balance life
of the asset, and in other cases, have been accumulated in Foreign
Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account and have been
amortized over the balance period of such long term asset/liability but
not beyond accounting period ended on or before March 31, 2011.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on
reporting Companys monetary items at rates different from those at
which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses
in the year in which they arise.
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortised as expense or income over the life of the
contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognised in the
statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange rates
change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of
forward exchange contract is recognised as income or as expense for the
year.
k. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund and Superannuation
fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged
to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions to
the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other
than the contribution payable to the respective trusts.
Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligations and are provided
for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on projected unit credit
method made at the end of each financial year.
Short-term compensated absences are provided for based on estimates.
Long-term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial
valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit
method.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account
and are not deferred.
I. Leases
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item,
are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of the
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed
as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges
and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate of
return. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Lease
management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are
capitalized.
If there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the
ownership by the end of the lease term, capitalized leased assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset
or the lease term.
Leases, where the lessor, effectively retains substantially all the
risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
m. Income Taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax
is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. Deferred
income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences
between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal
of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing
taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realised. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation
or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognized
deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax assets to
the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance
sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there
is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax
during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum
Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an
asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in guidance Note
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said
asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and
shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each
balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit
Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the
effect that Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified
period.
n. Employee Stock Option Plan
Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is
done in accordance with SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee
Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and the Guidance Note on

and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic
business unit that offers different products and serves different
markets. The analysis of geographical segment is based on the areas in
which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
p. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly
paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the
extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to
a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is
adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to
existing shareholders; share split and reverse share split
(consolidation of shares).
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
q. Provisions
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its
present value and are determined based on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates.
r. Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
s. Derivative Instruments
