Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation orconstructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable thatan outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of theobligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected futurecash flows at a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessment ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligationarising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only bythe occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future eventsnot wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation thatarises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow ofresources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amountcannot be made.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial assetof one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Companybecomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fairvalue. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisitionor issue of financial instruments (other than financial assets andfinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added toor deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financialliabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costsdirectly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financialliabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediatelyin profit or loss. Subsequently, financial instruments are measuredaccording to the category in which they are classified.
Classification of financial assets depends on the nature and purpose ofthe financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement
categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through othercomprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- those measured at amortised costDebt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the company’sbusiness model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristicsof the asset. There are ‘three measurement categories into which thecompany classifies its debt instruments:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where thosecash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest aremeasured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that issubsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedgingrelationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognisedor impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included infinance income using the effective interest rate method.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and forselling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows representsolely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in thecarrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognitionof impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchangegains and losses which which are recognised in profit and loss.When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain orloss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profitor loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest incomefrom these financial assets is included in other income using theeffective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCIare measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss ona debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship isrecognised in profit or loss and presented net in the statement ofprofit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which itarises. Interest income from these financial assets is included inother income.
Equity instruments
The company subsequently measures all equity investments at fairvalue. Where the company’s management has elected to presentfair value gains and losses on equity investments in othercomprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification offair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from suchinvestments are recognised in profit or loss as other income whenthe company’s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value throughprofit or loss are recognised in other gain or losses in the statementof profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairmentlosses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reportedseparately from other changes in fair value.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost less provision forimpairment.
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includescash in hand, cheques and drafts in hand, balances with bank anddeposits held at call with financial institutions, short-term highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three month or lessthat are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and whichare subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bankoverdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in thebalance sheet and forms part of financing activities in the cash flowstatement. Book overdraft are shown within other financial liabilitiesin the balance sheet and forms part of operating activities in thecash flow statement.
The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses(ECL) model to the following:
- Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- Financial assets measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income
Expected credit loss are measured through a loss allowance at anamount equal to :
- the twelve month expected credit losses (expected credit lossesthat result from those default events on the financial instrumentsthat are possible within twelve months after the reporting date);or
- full life time expected credit losses (expected credit losses thatresult from all possible default events over the life of thefinancial instrument).
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash oranother financial asset that result from transactions that are withinthe scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures the lossallowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using theeffective interest rate method.
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost usingthe effective interest rate method or at fair value through profit or loss.
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods or servicesprovided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which areunpaid.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costsincurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Anydifference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and theredemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of theborrowings using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligationspecified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The differencebetween the carrying amount of a financial liability that has beenextinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid,including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, isrecognised in profit or loss.
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency andare measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, theforeign exchange gains and losses are determined based on theamortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in profit or loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency isdetermined in that foreign currency and translated at the exchange rateat the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measuredas at fair value through profit or loss, the foreign exchange componentforms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in profit orloss.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internalreporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. Company hasonly a single reportable segment.
Till March 31, 2019
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Company, as a lesseehas substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified asfinance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception atthe fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of theminimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net offinance charges, are included in borrowings or other financial liabilitiesas appropriate. Each lease payment is allocated between the liabilityand finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the profit or loss overthe lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest onthe remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownershipare not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operatingleases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentivesreceived from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-linebasis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured toincrease in line with expected general inflation to compensate for thelessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. Contingent rents are payableas per the agreed terms.
With effective from April 1, 2019
From 1 April 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and acorresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is availablefor use by the Company. Contracts may contain both lease and non¬lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in thecontract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relativestand-alone prices. However, for leases of real is a lessee, it has electednot to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accountsfor these as a single lease component.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on apresent value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of thefollowing lease payments:
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any leaseincentives receivable,
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initiallymeasured using the index or rate as at the commencement date,
• amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual valueguarantees,
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonablycertain to exercise that option, and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease termreflects the Company exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension optionsare also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease paymentsare discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that ratecannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases inthe Company, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being therate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the fundsnecessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset ina similar economic environment with similar terms, security andconditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company:
• where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by theindividual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to reflect changes infinancing conditions since third party financing was received
• uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rateadjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Company, which doesnot have recent third party financing, and
• makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currencyand security.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. Thefinance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as toproduce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance ofthe liability for each period.
Variable lease payments that depend on sales are recognised in profit orloss in the period in which the condition.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if thereis a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the leasepayments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change inan index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change inthe assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Suchmodification is adjusted against the Right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date lessany lease incentives received,
• any initial direct costs, and
• restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of theasset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If theCompany is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leasesof low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expensein profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12months or less.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to theacquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalisedduring the period of time that is required to complete and prepare theasset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets thatnecessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intendeduse or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specificborrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deductedfrom the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they areincurred.
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where thereis a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Companywill comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised inthe profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the coststhat they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant andequipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income andare credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expectedlives of the related assets and presented within other income.
Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing the net incomeby the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.Diluted earnings per share has been computed using the weightedaverage number of shares and diluted potential shares, except wherethe result would be anti-dilutive.
Exceptional Items are transactions which due to their size or incidenceare separately disclosed to enable a full understanding of Company’sfinancial performance. Items which may be considered exceptional arediminution in value of investments in equity shares of subsidiaries,Impairment Loss, etc.
The Company has applied the following standards and amendmens forthe first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1st April 2019:
i) Ind AS 116, Leases
ii) Uncertainty over inceome tax treatments - Appendix C to Ind AS 12,Income Taxes
iii) Plan amendment, Curtailment and Settlement - Amendments to IndAS 19, Employee Benefits
iv) Amendment to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes
v) Amendment to Ind AS 23, Borrowing costs
The company adopted Ind AS 116 Leases standard, the impact of adoptionhas been disclosed as part of notes. Other amendments did not haveany significant impact on the financial statements.
Extension and termination options
Extension options has been included in a certain of leases. These areused to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assetsused in the Company’s operations.
Critical judgements in determining the lease term
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts andcircumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extensionoption, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options are onlyincluded in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to beextended.
For leases of factory building, the following are normally the most relevant:
• If there are significant penalties to terminate or not extend, theCompany is typically reasonably certain to extend.
• If the leasehold improvements are expected to have a significantremaining value, the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend.
• Otherwise, the Company considers other factors including historicallease durations and the costs and business disruption required toreplace the leased asset.
The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised or notexercised, or the Company becomes obliged to exercise or not exercise.The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significantevent or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects thisassessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ with the date of initialapplication being April 1, 2019. Ind AS 116 replaces Ind AS 17 - Leases.The Company has applied Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospectiveapproach with cumulative effect of initial application recognised in retainedearnings at April 1, 2019. The comparative information in the financialstatements would not be restated and would be presented based on therequirements of the previous standard i.e. Ind AS 17.
In adopting Ind AS 116, the Company has applied the below practicalexpedients:
• The company has not reassessed whether a contract is, or contains,a lease as per the definitions of IndAS 116 at the date of initialapplication.
• The company applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leaseswith reasonably similar characteristics.
• The company relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerousapplying Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets, immediately before the date of initial application as analternative to performing an impairment review as per Ind AS 36Impairment of assets.
• The Company has treated the leases with remaining lease term ofless than 12 months as “short term leases”.
• The Company has excluded the initial direct costs from measurementof the right-of-use asset at the date of transition.
• The company used hindsight, such as in determining the lease term
if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
Effective 1st April 2019, the company has adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases”and applied the Standard to its leases retrospectively and has recognisedthe effect of the cumulative adjustment (net of taxes) of Rs.3.25 Crores inthe opening balance of retained earnings, on the date of initial application(1st April 2019). Accordingly, comparatives for the period prior has notbeen restated.
The adoption of the Standard has resulted in recognising “Right-of-useasset” of Rs. 20.83 crores and a corresponding “Lease liability” of Rs.20.83 crores as at the date of initial application. The net impact onretained earnings on 1st April 2019 is Nil.
a Fair Value Hierarchy
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fairvalue and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds thathave quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at thereporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined usingvaluation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required tofair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equitysecurities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.
There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year. The company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels asat the end of the reporting period.
b Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments The carryingamounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values, dueto their short-term nature.
33 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
A. Credit Risk
Company faces credit risk from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions and unsecured trade receivables. The company doesn’tface any credit risk with other financial assets.
Credit Risk Management
Credit risk on deposit is mitigated by the depositing the funds in reputed private sector bank. For trade receivables, the primary source of credit risk is that theseare unsecured.The Company sells the products to customers only when the collection of trade receivables is certain and whether there has been a significantincrease in the credit risk on an on-going basis is monitored throughout each reporting period. As at the balance sheet date, based on the credit assessment thehistorical trend of low default is expected to continue. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. Anyrecoverability of receivables is provided for based on the impairment assessment. Historical trends showed as at 31st March 2025 company had no significantcredit risk.
B. Liquidity Risk
Objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount ofcommitted credit facilities to meet obligations when due. Management monitors rolling forecasts of The company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalentson the basis of expected cash flows.
