l) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a resultof past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated,wiN berequired to settle such an obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle thepresent obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surroundingthe obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the presentobligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time valueof money is material).
m) Investment in subsidiaries

q) Earnings per share:
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit and loss after tax by the weighted averagenumber of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the year is adjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issueto existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit or loss after tax as adjusted for dividend, interestand other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equityshares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share andthe weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutivepotential equity shares including the treasury shares held by the Company to satisfy the exercise of the shareoptions by the employees.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical accounting judgements
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is requiredto make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that arenot readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historicalexperience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
a) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
A. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Management reviews the useful lives of property,plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives aredependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives basedon various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. This reassessmentmay result in change in depreciation and amortisation expected in future periods.
B. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against theCompany. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystalising or are very difficult to quantifyreliably are treated as contingent liabilities.Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised.Thecases which have been determined as remote by the Company are not disclosed.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements unless when an inflow ofeconomic benefits is probable.
The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprises of borrowings, trade and other payables and other financial liabilities. Themain purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations The Company's principal financial assets includetrade and other receivables,cash and cash equivalent, investments and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: marketrisk, creditrisk andl iquidity risk. The Company's primary focusis to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.
The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. Company's financial risk activities are governed byappropriate policies and procedures laid out by the senior management and financial risks are identified, measured and managed inaccordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each ofthese risks, which are summarised below.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in marketprices. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its transactions in various foreign currencies. For the Company,the market risk is the possibility of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices which may affect the value ofthe Company's financial assets, liabilities or expected future cash flows as the rupee appreciates / depreciates against these foreigncurrencies.
The principal raw materials for the Company products are lime stone, calcite powder, stearic acid, etc which are purchased bythe Company from the approved list of suppliers. Most of the input materials are procured from domestic vendors. Raw materialprocurement is subject to price negotiation.
In order to mitigate the risk associated with raw material , the Company manages its procurement through grading, sourcing of rawmaterial and constant pricing negotiation with vendors. It renegotiates the prices with its customers in case there is more than normaldeviation in the prices of its major raw materials.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency thatis not a company's functional currency. Generally, Company makes advance payment to foreign vendors and in some cases paymentis made as per credit terms with vendor. Hence, impact of the rate fluctuation is accounted in profit and loss.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to afinancial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, trade receivables,investments and other financial assets. Credit risk has been managed by the company by establishing credit limits and creditworthinessof customers to which the company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. For banks and financial institutions, onlyhigh rated banks/ institutions are accepted.
Customer credit risk is managed by each customer group subject to the Company's established policy, procedures andcontrol relating to customer credit risk management. Trade Receviable has been managed by the Company by establishingcredit limits and creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Provision on Trade receivable is calculated as per expected credit loss method (ECL) as per IND AS. ECL is calculated on the basis ofaverage bad debts on turnover of 3 years i.e from 2019-20 to 2021-22. Such average % is moderated to align with current and futurebusiness, customers and risk profile. The provision determined as per policy is less than provision existing under IGAAP. As there isadequate provision pre-existing in the books, it is not required to make any addtional additional provision for the year. Further, it isalso proposed to continue the same till the provision under IND AS exceeds the pre-existing provision in the books.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of fundingthrough an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. TheCompany has assets which are expected to be realised within 12 months Rs. 406.56 lakhs as on March 2024 (as on March 2023 isRs.663.41 lakhs). The Company has liabilities which are expected to mature within 12 months Rs. 865.78 lakhs as on March 2024 (ason March 2023 is Rs. 1,075.26 lakhs). Hence Company has a working capital of Rs. (459.22 Lakhs) as on March 2024 (as on March2023 is Rs. (411.85 Lakhs).
Whenever working capital is required Company's Executive Directors provides funding to the Company.
Level 1 - Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments,traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded inthe stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active market (for example,counter derivatives) is determinedusing valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.If all significant inputs required to fair 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 (unobservable inputs), the instrument isincluded in level 3. This is case of the unlisted equity instuments included in level 3
All other Financial assets and liabilites are valued at amortised cost and categorised under level 3. (refer above)
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period.
The fair valuation of Borrowings is determined using the effective interest rate (net Cash infow and outflow)
