f) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingentassets
A provision is recognized when the Company has a presentobligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event,and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle a reliablyassessable obligation. Provisions are determined based onbest estimate required to settle each obligation at eachbalance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of moneyis material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specificto the liability. When discounting is used, the increase inthe provision due to the passage of time is recognised as afinance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possibleobligations that arise from past events, whose existencewould be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrenceof one or more uncertain future events not wholly withinthe control of the Company. Contingent liabilities are alsopresent obligations where it is not probable that an outflowof resources will be required, or the amount of the obligationcannot be measured with sufficient reliability. ContingentLiabilities are not recognized in the financial statements butare disclosed separately.
Contingent assets are not recognised unless it becomesvirtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise
g) Financial Assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Trade Receivables are initially recognised when they areoriginated. All other financial assets are initially recognisedwhen the Company becomes party to the contractualprovisions of the instrument. All financial assets other thantrade receivables and those measured subsequently at fairvalue through profit and loss, are recognised initially at fairvalue plus transaction costs that are attributable to theacquisition of the financial asset.
Classification and Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assetsare classified in following categories:
i. Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is heldwithin a business model whose objective is to hold the assetin order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractualterms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates tocash flows that are solely payments of principal and intereston the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets aresubsequently measured at amortized cost using theEffective Interest rate method (EIR). Amortized cost iscalculated by taking into account any discount or premiumand fees or cost that are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortization is included in finance income in thestatement of profit & loss. The losses arising from impairmentare recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
ii. Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through OtherComprehensive Income (FVOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through OtherComprehensive Income (OCI) if these financial assets areheld within a business model with an objective to hold theseassets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sellthese financial assets and the contractual terms of thefinancial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows thatare solely payments of principal and interest on the principalamount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these assets are subsequentlymeasured at Fair Value. Interest Income under EffectiveInterest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profitand Loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI.
iii. Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fairvalue through OCI is carried at Fair Value through Profit andLoss
iv. Equity Investments
All Equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109 aremeasured at Fair Value. Such equity instruments whichare held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all othersuch equity instruments, the Company decides to classifythe same either as FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makessuch election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Theclassification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
For Equity instruments classified as FVOCI, all fair valuechanges in the instrument excluding dividends arerecognized in OCI. Dividends on such equity instruments arerecognized in the statement of Profit or loss.
De-recognition of Financial Assets:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financialasset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarilyderecognised when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cashflows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to paythe received cash flows in full without material delay to athird party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either(a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risksand rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neithertransferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewardsof the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all debt instruments(other than debt instruments measured at FVOCI) andequity instruments (measured at FVTPL) are recognisedin the statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses inrespect of debt instrument measured at FVOCI and that areaccumulated in OCI are reclassified to Profit and Loss on de¬recognition. Gains or losses on equity instruments measuredat FVOCI that are recognised and accumulated in OCI arenot reclassified to Profit or Loss on derecognition.
h) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by theCompany are classified according to the substance of thecontractual arrangements entered into and the definitions ofa financial liability and an equity instrument.
i) Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Companybecomes a party to the contractual provisions of theinstrument.
Financial Liability is initially measured at fair value plus,for an item not at fair value through profit and loss, netof transaction costs that are directly attributable to itsacquisition or issue.
ii) Classification and Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on theirclassification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss(FVTPL)
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities heldfor trading and financial liabilities designated upon initialrecognition as at FVTPL. Financial Liabilities at FVTPL aremeasured at fair value and changes therein, including anyinterest expense, are recognised in Statement of Profitand Loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than thosewhich are classified as FVTPL are subsequently measuredat amortised cost using the EIR method. Amortised cost iscalculated by taking into account any discount or premiumon acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part ofthe EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs inthe Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) De-recognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligationspecified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.When an existing financial liability is replaced by anotherfrom the same lender on substantially different terms, or theterms of an existing liability are substantially modified, suchan exchange or modification is treated as de-recognitionof the original liability and recognition of a new liability. Thedifference in the respective carrying amounts is recognisedin the Statement of Profit and Loss.
i) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to afinancial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equityinstrument of another entity.
j) Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amountis reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legallyenforceable right to offset the recognised amounts andthere is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise theasset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The legally enforceable right must not be contingent onfuture events and must be enforceable in the normal courseof business and in the event of default, insolvency orbankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
k) Impairment
a. financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company appliesExpected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurementand recognition of impairment loss on the financial assetmeasured at amortized cost.
Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured followingthe 'Simplified Approach' at an amount equal to the LifetimeECL at each reporting date. The Company uses a provisionmatrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the
portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is basedon its historically observed default rates over the expectedlife of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward lookingestimates. At every reporting date, the historical observeddefault rates are updated and changes in the forward¬looking estimates are analysed.
In respect of other financial asset, the loss allowance ismeasured at 12-month ECL only, if there is no significantdeterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of anasset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at thereporting date.
b. Impairment of Non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date, whether thereis an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indicationexists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset isrequired, the Company estimates the asset's recoverableamount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of anasset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset,unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that arelargely independent of those from other assets or groups ofassets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds itsrecoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and iswritten down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows arediscounted to their present value using a pre-tax discountrate that reflects current market assessments of thetime value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Indetermining fair value less costs of disposal, recent markettransactions are taken into account. If no such transactionscan be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples,quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or otheravailable fair value indicators.
c. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a presentobligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,it is probable that an outflow of resources embodyingeconomic benefits will be required to settle the obligationand a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of theobligation. The expense relating to a provision is presentedin the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisionsare discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Whendiscounting is used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date andadjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
l) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control over thepromised goods or services is transferred to the customerat an amount that reflects the consideration to which theCompany expects to be entitled in exchange for thosegoods or services.
The specific recognition criteria described below must alsobe met before revenue is recognised.
Sale of goods
The Company recognises revenue generally at the point intime when the products are delivered to customer or whenit is delivered to a carrier for export sale, which is whenthe control over product is transferred to the customer. Incontracts where freight is arranged by the Company andrecovered from the customers, the same is treated as aseparate performance obligation and revenue is recognizedwhen such freight services are rendered.
Revenue is adjusted for variable consideration such asdiscounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions,incentives, or other similar items in a contract when theyare highly probable to be provided. The amount of revenueexcludes any amount collected on behalf of third parties.
Interest
Interest income including income arising on otherinstruments are recognised on time proportion basis usingthe effective interest rate method.
m) Employee benefits
a) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publiclyadministered provident funds as per local regulations.The Company has no further payment obligations oncethe contributions have been paid. The contributionsare accounted for as define contribution plan and thecontributions are recognised as employee benefit expensewhen they are due.
b) Defined Benefit Plan
The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet inrespect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present valueof the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reportingperiod less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefitobligation is calculated annually by actuaries using theprojected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligationdenominated in Rs. is determined by discounting theestimated future cash outflows by reference to market yieldsat the end of the reporting period on government bonds thathave terms approximating to the terms of related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discountrate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation andthe fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employeebenefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions arerecognised in the year in which they occur, directly in othercomprehensive income.
Changes in present value of the defined benefit obligationresulting from plan amendments or curtailments arerecognised immediately in the statement of profit and lossas past service cost.
c) Leave Entitlement
Leave entitlement are provided based on an actuarialvaluation, similar to that of gratuity benefit. Re-measurement,comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leaveentitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit andLoss in the period in which they occur.
d) Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, performanceincentives etc. are recognised as expenses at theundiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Lossof the period in which the related service is rendered.
n) Taxation
i. Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for theyear. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reportedin the statement of profit and loss because of items ofincome or expense that are taxable or deductible in otheryears and items that are never taxable or deductible. TheCompany's current tax is calculated using rates that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted by the end of thereporting period.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differencesbetween the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities inthe financial statements and the corresponding tax basesused in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred taxliabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporarydifferences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized forall deductible temporary differences to the extent that it isprobable that taxable profits will be available against whichthose deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at theend of each reporting period and reduced to the extent thatit is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will beavailable to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the taxrates that are expected to apply in the period in which theliability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates(and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantivelyenacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assetsreflects the tax consequences that would follow from themanner in which the Company expects, at the end of thereporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount ofits assets and liabilities.
o) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the netprofit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholdersby the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the year. The weighted average numberof equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted forevents of bonus issue, if any.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equityshareholders and the weighted average number of sharesoutstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects ofall dilutive potential equity shares.
The number of equity shares are adjusted retrospectively forall periods presented for any bonus shares issues.
p) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, wherebyprofit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactionsof a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past orfuture operating cash receipts or payments and item ofincome or expenses associated with investing or financingcash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing andfinancing activities of the Company are segregated.
q) Trade Payables & Trade Receivables
A payable is classified as a 'trade payable' if it is in respect ofthe amount due on account of goods purchased or servicesreceived in the normal course of business. These amountsrepresent liabilities for goods and services provided to theCompany prior to the end of the financial year which areunpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled
as per the payment terms stated in the contract. Trade andother payables are presented as current liabilities unlesspayment is not due within 12 months after the reportingperiod. They are recognised initially at their fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIRmethod.
r) A receivable is classified as a 'trade receivable' if it is inrespect of the amount due on account of goods sold orservices rendered in the normal course of business. Tradereceivables are recognised initially at transaction values andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIRmethod (if there is a financing element), less provision forexpected or lifetime credit loss.
s) Segment Reporting
Based on ” Management Approach ”as defined in Ind AS 108-Operating Segments the chief operating decision makerregularly monitors and reviews the operating results of thewhole Company as one segment of "Agro Chemicals". Thus,as defined in Ind AS 108, the Company's entire businessfalls under this one operational segment and hence thenecessary information has already been disclosed in theBalance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss. Theanalysis of geographical segments is based on the areas inwhich customers of the Company are located.
a) The securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of equity shares. The reserve is utilised in accordancewith the provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) The General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from related earnings for appropriation purpose.As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and not an item of othercomprehensive income, items included in the general reserve is not reclassified subsequently to the statement of Profitand Loss.
c) The retained earnings comprise of surplus which is used from time to time to transfer profits by approprations. Retainedearnings is free reserve of the Company and is used for the purpose like issuing bonus shares, buy back of shares and otherpurposes (like declaring dividend etc.) as per the approval of the Board of Directors. It includes the remeasurements ofdefined benifit plan as per acturial valuations which will not be re-classfied to statement of profit and loss in subsequentperiods.
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and Company is exposed
to the Following Risks:
1. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefitplan liability is calculated by reference to the futuresalaries of members. As such, an increase in the salaryof the members more than assumed level will increasethe plan's liability.
2. Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which islinked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present valueof the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in thediscount rate generally increases the mark to marketvalue of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
3. Investment Risk: The present value of the definedbenefit plan liability is calculated using a discount ratewhich is determined by reference to market yields atthe end of the reporting period on government bonds.
If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will createa plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has arelatively balanced mix of investments in governmentsecurities, and other debt instruments.
4. Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALMrisk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan isinvested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962,this generally reduces ALM risk.
5. Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is notpayable for life time and payable till retirement age only,plan does not have any longevity risk.
6. Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentrationrisk as all the assets are invested with the insuranceCompany and a default will wipe out all the assets.Although probability of this is very less as insurancecompanies have to follow regulatory guidelines.
32. i n the opinion of the Board of Directors, all assets other than Property, Plant & Equipment and non-current investmentshave a value on realization in the ordinary course of business at least equal to the amount at which they are stated in theBalance Sheet.
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that business enterprises report information about operating segments andrelated disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As the Company is engaged inproviding similar nature of products, production process, customer types etc., the Company has a single operating segmentof ”Agro chemicals”, there are no differing risks and returns attributable to the Company's services to its customers.
The Company has sold 95% of its total sales to a single customer.
Disclosure in accordance with Ind AS - 24 "Related Party Disclosures”, of the Companies ( Indian Accounting Standards)Rules, 2015.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and short¬term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and othercurrent financial assets and liabilities at amortised costapproximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short¬term maturities of these instruments.
This section explains the judgments and estimates madein determining the fair values of the financial instrumentsthat are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b)measured at amortised cost and for which fair values aredisclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indicationabout the reliability of the inputs used in determining fairvalue, the Company has classified its financial instrumentsinto the three levels prescribed under the accounting
standard. An explanation of each level follows underneaththe table.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included withinLevel 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 assets or liabilities that are not basedon observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table presents the fair value measurementhierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fairvalue on recurring basis as at March 31, 2025 and March31, 2024.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financialrisks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company'ssenior management oversees management of these risks.The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability offinancial markets and seek to minimize potential adverseeffects on its financial performance.
i) Market Risk
a. Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. TheCompany is not exposed to currency risk as at March 31,2025.
b. Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to Interest risk as at March 31,2025.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if acustomer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails tomeet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from
the Company's receivables from customers. Credit riskis managed through credit approvals, establishing creditlimits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness ofcustomers to which the Company grants credit terms in thenormal course of business.
Trade and Other Receivables:
The Company measures the expected credit loss of tradereceivables based on historical trend, industry practicesand the business environment in which the entity operates.Based on the historical data of defaults and financial positionof parties, chances of credit losses are minimal.
iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounterdifficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associatedwith financial instruments. Liquidity risk management impliesmaintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities andthe availability of funding through committed credit facilitiesto meet the obligations when due.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company'sliquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basisof expected cash flows. The Company manages its liquidityrisk by preparing month on month cash flow projections tomonitor liquidity requirements.
Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holdersto ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structureand healthy capital ratios in order to support its businessand maximize shareholder value. The Company managesits capital structure and makes adjustments to it, inlight of changes in economic conditions or its businessrequirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, theCompany may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders,return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
Since there are no Borrowings as at March 31,2025, the NetDebt to Capital (Gearing Ratio) is NIL.
The information about transaction with struck off Companies(defined under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013 orSection 560 of Companies Act, 1956) has been determinedto the extent such parties have been identified on the basisof the information available with the Company and the sameis relied upon by the auditors.
Analytical Ratios as per requirements of Schedule III aregiven in Statement 2.
