3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis
excepting certain financial instruments which are measured in terms of relevant Ind AS at fair value/
amortized costs at the end of each reporting period.

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

As the operating cycle cannot be identified in normal course, the same has been assumed to have
duration of 12 months. All Assets and Liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as
per the operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’
and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees and all values are rounded off to the
nearest rupees in lakh except otherwise stated.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market
conditions.

The company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of the three levels
depending on the ability to observe inputs employed in their measurements which are described as
follows:

(a) Level 1 :- inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or
liabilities

(b) Level 2 :- inputs are inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted
prices included within level 1 for the asset or liability

(c) Level 3:- inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liability reflecting significant
magnifications to observable related market data or company’s assumptions about pricing
by market participants.

3. PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENTS (Other than Bearer Plants)

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition, construction and subsequent
improvements thereto less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. For this purpose
cost include deemed cost on the date of transition and comprises purchase price of assets or its
construction cost including duties and taxes, inward freight and other expenses incidental to
acquisition or installation and adjustment for exchange differences wherever applicable and any
cost directly attributable to bring the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended for its use. Interest on Borrowings used to finance the
construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of cost of the asset until such time that the
asset is ready for its intended use.

Parts of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment having different useful lives and material value
and subsequent expenditure on Property, Plant and Equipment arising on account of capital
improvement or other factors are accounted for as separate components.

Property, Plant and Equipment includes spare, stand by equipments and servicing equipments
which are expected to be used for a period more than twelve months and meets the recognition
criteria of Plant, Property and Equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant
and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future
economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured
reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in
the statement of profit and loss when incurred.

Capital work in progress includes purchase price, import duty and any directly attributable cost of
bringing the assets to their working condition, trial run expenses and interest attributable up to the
date of installation. Such items are classified to the appropriate categories of Property, Plant and
Equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

Depreciation

Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated in a manner that amortizes the cost of the
assets less its residual value, over their useful lives on a straight line basis. Estimated useful lives
of the assets in years are as follows-

Office Equipment 3-6

Building 5-60

Plant and equipment 15

Vehicle 8-10

Water Supply System 15

Irrigation Equipments 15

Furniture & Fixture 10

Right to Use Assets (Lease) As per Lease agreement

The above estimated useful lives are also as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period and the effect of any changes in estimate is accounted for on a prospective basis.

DERECOGNITION OF PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENTS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
to arise from its use or disposal. Gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PPE
is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset
and is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation. Investment
properties are major initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are major in accordance with Ind AS 16’s requirements for cost model, otherthan
those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind As 105-1.

The estimated useful life of the investment properties of the Company are as follows :-

Building 60 Years

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently
withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss
arising on derecognisation of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) included in profit and loss in the period in which the
property is derecognized.

IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENTS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

PPE and Intangible assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for impairment. In case events
and circumstances indicate any impairment, recoverable amount of assets is determined. An impairment
loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss, whenever the carrying amount of assets either
belonging to Cash Generating Unit (CGU) or otherwise exceeds recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of assets fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows from the use of the assets are discounted to their present value
at appropriate rate.

Impairment losses recognized earlier may no longer exist or may have come down. Based on such
assessment at each reporting period the impairment loss is reversed and recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss. In such cases the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lower of its
recoverable amount and the carrying amount that have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

BEARER PLANTS

Bearer plants comprising of mature tea bushes and shade trees are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Immature bearer plants, including the cost incurred for procurement of new seeds and maintenance of
nurseries, are carried at cost less any recognized impairment losses under capital work-in-progress.
Cost includes the cost of land preparation, new planting and maintenance of newly planted bushes
until maturity. On maturity, these costs are classified under bearer plants. Depreciation of bearer
plants commence on maturity.

Costs incurred for infilling including block infilling are generally recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss unless there is a significant increase in the yield of the sections, in which case such costs
are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the respective sections.

Depreciation on bearer plants is recognized so as to write off its cost over useful lives, using the
straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed
at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any change in estimate accounted for on a
prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of the bearer plants has been determined to be 70 years.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (financial instruments) are recognized when the Company becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial Liabilities (other than
financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from
the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss are recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as current if they are expected to be realized or
settled within operating cycle of the company or otherwise these are classified as non-current.

The classification of financial instruments whether to be measured at Amortized Cost, at Fair Value
through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) or at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) depends
on the objective and contractual terms to which they relate. Classification of financial instruments are
determined on initial recognition.

i) Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into determinable amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and are having original
maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, are considered as cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents includes balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and
usage.

ii) Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities measured at amortized cost

Financial Assets held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows and 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
are measured at amortized cost.

The above Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities subsequent to initial recognition are measured
at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.

The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
(including all fees and points paid or received, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)
through the expected life of the Financial Asset or Financial Liability to the gross carrying amount
of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter
period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

iii) Financial Asset at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial
assets are held within a business whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets and 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. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes
therein are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

iv) For the purpose of para (ii) and (iii) above, principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial
recognition and interest consists of consideration for the time value of money and associated credit
risk.

v) Financial Assets or Liabilities at Fair value through profit or loss

Financial Instruments which does not meet the criteria of amortized cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income are classified as Fair Value through Profit or loss. These are recognized at
fair value and changes therein are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

vi) Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is assessed for impairment at each Balance Sheet date. A financial asset is
considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a
negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

The company measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime
expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly
since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly
since initial recognition, the company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at
an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.

However, for trade receivables or contract assets that result in relation to revenue from contracts
with customers, the company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit losses.

vii) Derecognition of financial instruments

The Company derecognizes a financial asset or a group of financial assets when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On de-recognition of a financial asset (except for equity instruments designated as FVTOCI), the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

On de-recognition of assets measured at FVTOCI the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized
in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment.

Financial liabilities are derecognized if the Company’s obligations specified in the contract expire
or are discharged or cancelled. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Statement of Profit and
Loss.

5. LEASES

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for buildings. 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 period of time in exchange for
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the
Company assesses whether: (i) the contract 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 lease and (iii) the
Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a
corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a
term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value
leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the
lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that
they will be exercised. The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial
amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date
of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable,
using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are
remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its
assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments
have been classified as financing cash flows.

6. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE

(i) Biological Assets

Biological assets of the Company comprises of un-harvested green tea leaves that are classified as
current biological assets and livestock for breeding purpose, classified as non-current biological
assets.

The Company recognizes biological assets when, and only when, the Company controls the assets
as a result of past events, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with such assets
will flow to the Company and the fair value or cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Expenditure
incurred on biological assets are measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting
period at its fair value less costs to sell. The gain or loss arising from a change in fair value less
costs to sell of biological assets are included in statement of profit and loss for the period in which
it arises.

(ii) Agricultural Produce

The Company recognizes agricultural produce when, and only when, the Company controls the
assets as a result of past events, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with such
assets will flow to the Company and the fair value or cost of the assets can be measured reliably.
Agricultural produce harvested from the Company’s biological assets are valued at fair value less
cost to sell at the point of harvest. A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of agricultural produce
at fair value less costs to sell shall be included in Statement of profit and loss for the period in which
it arises.

The Company’s agricultural produce comprises of green leaves plucked from its tea estates.

7. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. Cost in respect of finished product
is determined on average cost basis and represents works cost and appropriate portion of overheads.

Cost in respect of Stores and Spares and Foodstuff is computed on FIFO basis.

Provision is made for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories, whenever necessary.

8. GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply
with the conditions attaching to them and that the grant will be received.

Government grants that are receivable as a compensation for expenses or losses incurred or for the
purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company with no future related costs are recognized
in profit loss in the period in which they become receivable.

9. EQUITY SHARE CAPITAL

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after
deducting all of its liabilities. Par value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are known / materialized and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the Balance Sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

A. Depreciation and Impairment on Property, Plant and Equipment.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets are depreciated/ amortized on Straight Line Ba-sis/Written Down Value Basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term, if shorter ) in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, taking into account the estimated residual value, wherever applicable.

The company reviews its carrying value of its PPE and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired. In such situation assets recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset’s or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rate which reflect the current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realisations are considered or otherwise in absence of such transactions appropriate valuations are adopted. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets regularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortization and amount of impairment expense to be recorded during any reporting period. This reassessment may result in change estimated in future periods.

B. Impairment allowances on trade receivables

The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairment allowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the trade receivables balance, credit-worthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience. If the financial conditions of the trade receivable were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.

C. Income taxes

Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income taxes.

D. Defined benefit obligation (DBO)

Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate, anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated by Independent Actuary appointed for this purpose by the Management. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

E. Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgment to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.

Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/litigations/ against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.

The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.
