Provisions are recognized, when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of pastevents, where it is probable that there will be outflow of resources to settle the obligation and whena reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where a provision is measuredusing the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the presentvalue of those cash flows. Where the effect is material, the provision is discounted to net presentvalue using an appropriate current market-based pre-tax discount rate and the unwinding of thediscount is included in finance costs.
Contingent liabilities are recognized only when there is a possible obligation arising from past events,due to occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within thecontrol of the Company, or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflowof resources, or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made. Obligations are assessedon an ongoing basis and only those having a largely probable outflow of resources are provided for.
Contingent assets are not disclosed in the financial statements unless an inflow of economic benefits isprobable.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity shareholders of the Companyby the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computedby adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity shareholders and the weighted averagenumber of ordinary equity shares, for the effects of all dilutive potential Ordinary shares.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgements,estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets andliabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertaintyabout these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustmentto the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the followingjudgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probabilitythat future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences andtax loss carry- forwards can be utilized. In addition, significant judgment is required in assessing theimpact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at thereporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amountsof assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based itsassumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due tomarket changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changesare reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash¬generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them.Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determinationof a suitable discount rate.
Management estimates the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliableevidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affectedby future technology or other market-driven changes that may reduce future selling prices.
Management's estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such asattrition rate, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in theseassumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses (asanalyzed in Note 28).
Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date,based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technologicalobsolescence that may change the utility of certain assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is basedon the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(i) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(ii) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
Management uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments(where active market quotes are not available) and non- financial assets. This involves developingestimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.Management bases its assumptions on observable data as far as possible but this is not alwaysavailable. In that case management uses the best information available. Estimated fair valuesmay vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm's length transaction at thereporting date.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normaloperating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on thenature of products and time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realizationin cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for thepurpose of current or noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.
financial condition, though the outcomes could be material to the Company's operating results for anyparticular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
The Company's only Business is Integrated Aqua Culture and related activities and hence there is noseparate reportable segment as per Indian Accounting Standard (IND AS-108) on “Operating Segment”prescribed in Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and otherpayables, and other current liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise financefor the Company's operations. The Company has loans and receivables, trade and other receivables,and cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operations.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's seniormanagement advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which aresummarized below:
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuatebecause of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk,currency risk and other price risk, such as equity risk. Financial instruments affected by market riskinclude loans and borrowings, deposits, available-for-sale investments.
The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31,2025 and March 31, 2024
The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analyses:
The sensitivity of the statement of comprehensive income is the effect of the assumed changes ininterest rates on the net interest income for one year, based on the average rate of borrowings heldduring the year ended March 31, 2025, all other variables being held constant. These changes arereasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument willfluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changesin market interest rates relates primarily to the long-term debt obligations with average interest rates.
The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and thefinancial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Allother variables are held constant. If interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points with allother variables being constant, the Company's profit after tax for the year ended March 31, 2025 woulddecrease or increase by Rs. Nil. (March 31,2024 : Rs. Nil).
The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identifiedeither individually or by the Company, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls.The Company's policy is to transact only with counterparties who are highly creditworthy which areassessed based on internal due diligence parameters.
In respect of trade receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to anysingle counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivablesconsist of a large number of customers in various geographical areas. Based on historical informationabout customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are notpast due or impaired to be good.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposits and mutual funds are considerednegligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.
Other financial assets mainly comprise of tender deposits and security deposits which are given tocustomers or other governmental agencies in relation to contracts executed and are assessed by theCompany for credit risk on a continuous basis.
The following is an analysis of the Company's contractual undiscounted cash flows payable underfinancial liabilities as at March 31, 2025 and March 31,2024.
The Company's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard continuity, maintain a strongcredit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and provide adequate returnto shareholders through continuing growth and maximize the shareholders' value.
