EXPLANATION (RECONCILIATION) OF TRANSITION TO INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)

(a) Under Indian GAAP, Provision for proposed dividend is accounted by debiting reserves and surplus in the year for which dividend is declared. Under Ind AS, Entity shall not recognise dividend declared after reporting period as liability. Accordingly provision for proposed dividend is reversed.

(b) Under Indian GAAP, long term liability is stated at historical cost. Under Ind AS, long term liability is fair valued on initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(c) Under Indian GAAP, financial liabilities are initially recognised at cost. Also,the transaction cost incurred to originate the loan is expensed out immediately.Under Ind AS, transaction costs incurred, in connection with interest bearing loans and borrowings, are netted off against the intial recognition of financial liability and charged to statement of profit and loss using effective interest rate.

(d) Under Indian GAAP, actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets on post-employment defined benefit plans are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements which comprise of actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and changes in the effect of asset ceiling, if any, with respect to post-employment defined benefit plans are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Further, remeasurements recognised in OCI are never reclassified to statement of profit and loss.

(e) Under Indian GAAP, the company had measured hedged foreign currency loan liability at a foreign exchange rate fixed by the company’s bank. Under Ind AS, foreign currency loan liability is measured at closing foreign exchange rate as on the reporting date with unrealised/ realised foreign exchange differences recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Further, derivative instrument is separately recorded and measured at fair value through profit and loss.

(f) Under Indian GAAP, a company uses intrinsic value approach to measure the cost of share based payments. Under Ind AS, costs of share based payments are recorded based on the fair value of employee stock option.

(g) Under Indian GAAP, long term investments are carried at cost less provision for diminution in value, if any. Under Ind AS, investment in equity shares classified as ‘Fair value through other comprehensive income’ are measured at fair value at each reporting date. The subsequent changes in fair value of such investments are recognised in other comprehensive income. Further, gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive income are never reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit or Loss.

(h) On transition to Ind AS, the Company has recognised provision of loss allowance on trade receivables measured at amortised cost based on the expected credit loss model as required by Ind AS 109. Consequently, trade receivables measured at amortised cost reduced with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings on the date of transition.

(i) ”Under Indian GAAP, the deferred tax is recognised using the income statement / balance sheet approach i.e. reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period. Under Ind AS, the Company has recognised deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach i.e. reflecting the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Also, deferred taxes is recognised on account of the above mentioned changes explained in notes.”

(j) Other reclassification adjustments:

1 Under Indian GAAP, excise duty is reduced from gross revenues to report revenues net of excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue includes gross inflows of economic benefits received by a company for its own account. Excise duty collected, which is a duty on manufacture and a primary obligation of the manufacturer is considered as revenue with the corresponding payments to Government as expenditure. This adjustment does not have any impact on statement of profit and loss.

2 Under Indian GAAP, cash discounts and certain customer incentives are often reported as a separate expenditure in Statement of Profit and Loss.Under Ind AS, revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account the amount of any cash discounts and volume rebates allowed by the company.

3 Under Indian GAAP, dividend proposed after the date of the financial statements but prior to the approval of financial statements is considered as an adjusting event, and a provision for dividend is recognised in the financial statements of the period to which the dividend relates. Under Ind AS, dividend declaration is considered as a non-adjusting event and provision for dividend is recognised only in the period when the dividend is approved by the shareholders in annual general meeting.

14 Previous year figures have been regrouped whereever considered necessary to make them comparable to those of current year.
