Credit Risk

(i) Credit Risk Management

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, loans, security deposits and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

"Credit risk is managed by the Marketing General Manager of the Avanti Feeds Limited. The Company has few customer with most of them being foreign customers. The Company provides a credit period of 60-90 days which is in line with the normal industry practice. The Marketing GM undertakes the credit analysis of each customer before transacting. The finance team under the guidance of Marketing GM also periodically review the credit rating of the customers and follow up on long outstanding invoices."

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an on going basis through out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. The below factors are considered:

- external credit rating (as far as available)

- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower''s ability to meet its obligations.

- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower.

- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower.

- significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of the borrower in the Company and changes in operating results of the borrower.

Macro economic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model. In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 180 days past due.

A default on a financial asset is when the counter party fails to make contractual payments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which the entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and measurement

(i) Basis of preparation

The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act,2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The financial statements up to year ended 31st March,

2017 were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act.

These financial statements are the first financial statements of the Company under Ind AS. Refer Note 42 for an explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

- certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value

- defined benefit plans- plan assets measured at fair value

2.2 Measurement of fair values

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require financial instruments to be measured at fair values. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the management assess the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 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 asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

I f the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

2.3 Critical estimates and judgements

(i) Fair value hierarchy

The carrying amount of the current financial assets and current financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature. In absence of specified maturity period, the carrying amount of the non-current financial assets and non-current financial liabilities such as security deposits, are co nsidered to be same as their fair values.

5 Financial Risk Management

The Company activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the Company is exposed to and how the Company manages the risk.

The Company’s risk management is carried out by the JMD under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas such as interest rate risk, credit risk and investment of excess liquidity.

Credit Risk

(i) Credit Risk Management

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, loans, security deposits and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

Credit risk is managed by the Marketing General Manager of the Avanti Feeds Limited. The Company has few customer with most of them being foreign customers. The Company provides a credit period of 60-90 days which is in line with the normal industry practice. The Marketing GM undertakes the credit analysis of each customer before transacting. The finance team under the guidance of Marketing GM also periodically review the credit rating of the customers and follow up on long outstanding invoices.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an on going basis through out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. The below factors are considered:

- external credit rating (as far as available)

- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations.

- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower.

- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower.

- Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of the borrower in the Company and changes in operating results of the borrower.

Macro economic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model. In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 180 days past due.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which the entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

(ii) Provision for expected credit losses

The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Joint Managing Director monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows and any excess/short liquidity is managed in the form of current borrowings, bank deposits and investment in mutual funds.

(i) Maturities of financial liabilities

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements.

Market Risk - Interest Risk

The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long term and short term borrowings with variable rates, which exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.

The exposure of the Company to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Market risk - Price risk

The Company’s investments in quoted equity securities is very minimal, hence there is limited exposure to price risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, mainly in the nature of sales denominated in foreign currencies and other expenditures. As a policy, the Company does not hedge any of its exposure to foreign currency. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

6 Capital management

(a) Risk Management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to

- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company has been maintaining a steady dividend.”

The Company’s capital structure is largely equity based. It monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Net debt divided by Total ‘equity’ (as shown in the balance sheet).

(1) The Customs and Central Excise Department raised demand for Rs.1494.59 Lakh and levied penalty of Rs.1504.59 Lakh for customs duty forgone on duty free imports of raw materials and non-fulfilment of export obligation for the period 1999-2000 to 2001-2002 when the Company was operating as a 100% EOU. Company had achieved Net Foreign Exchange Earning in 2003-04 and the Development Commissioner of Visakhapatnam Export Procession Zone allowed Company to de-bond upon being satisfied with the fulfilment of exports made by the Company and foreign exchange earning obligations. Further, Company had paid Rs.1655.03 Lakh excise duty in lieu of the duty free import of raw materials and spares. However, the Customs and Central Excise Department raised the demand without considering the amounts paid. This demand and levy of penalty was contested by the Company before CESTAT, Bangalore and Hon’ble CESTAT remanded the case back to The Commissioner for fresh adjudication after considering all the aspects raised by the Company. The Commissioner gave his order confirming the demand and Company again approached CESTAT against this order. The matter is pending before CESTAT, Hyderabad.

(ii) The Company purchased soya bean in the year 2004-05, converted the same in to DOC in 2005-06 and used some part for own consumption in manufacturing of shrimp feed and some part was exported. The resultant soya oil was sold locally. The Commercial Tax Act pertaining to soya bean processing and soya oil sale was amended with effect from 13.12.2004 and Commercial Tax department took the view that the soya bean purchased prior to 13.12.2004 will attract tax at old rates and a demand to Rs.29.22 Lakh was raised. This is being contested by the Company in the High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

(iii) Company approached Supreme Court against the order of High Court of Andhra Pradesh confirming the levy and collection of Electricity Duty on self generated power from DG sets.

(iv) Company is importing Squid Liver Powder (SLP) which was one of the raw materials for manufacturing of shrimp feed. SLP was imported by the Company under raw material classification. However, Customs has disputed our claim and demanding duty applicable for import of complete feed. Company appealed against the order of Commissioner of Customs (Appeals), Chennai before CESTAT, Chennai.

The Company is contesting the demands and the management, including its tax advisors, believe that its position will likely be upheld in the appellate process. No tax expense has been accrued in the financial statements for the tax demand raised. The management believes that the ultimate outcome of this proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

(2) The Company has given corporate guarantee of Rs.11506 Lakh as on 31.03.2018 (Rs.7590 Lakh as on 31.03.2017 and Rs.6225 as on 31.03.2016) to State Bank of India, Industrial Finance Branch, Somajiguda, Hyderabad for loans facilities availed by Avanti Frozen Foods Private Limited.

9 Segment reporting

The Company is predominantly engaged in the business of Shrimp feeds and power generation The Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision maker (CODM). There is only one segment in the Company which is Shrimp Feed.

As the Company does not have revenue from any significant external customer amounting to 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, the related information as required under paragraph 34 of Ind AS 108 has not been disclosed.

Shrimp Feed is manufactured & marketed to the farmers, which is used in Aqua culture to grow shrimp.

Company had installed four wind mills of 3.2MW at Chitradurga, Karnataka. Power generated from wind mills is sold to BESCOM under Power Purchase agreement.

Segment Revenue and Results

All segment revenues & expenses that are directly attributable to the segments are reported under the respective segment. The revenues and expenses that are not directly attributable to any segments are shown as unallocated expenses.

Segment assets and liabilities

Segment assets include all operating assets used by the business segment and consist principally Fixed Assets, Debtors and Inventories. Segment liabilities primarily include creditors and other liabilities. Assets and Liabilities that cannot be allocated between the segments are shown as a part of unallocated assets and liabilities respectively.

10 Employee Benefits

(i) Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability earned leave. Based on past experience, the Company does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months:

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund (at the rate of 12% of basic salary); Employee State Insurance and Superannuation Fund in India for employees as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered funds administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation. The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is Rs.316.50 Lakh (31st March, 2017 - Rs.312.93 Lakh)

(iii) Post employment benefit obligation Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement / termination is the employee’s last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

(v) Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plan, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility: The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The Company’s plan assets are insurer managed funds and are subject to less material risk.

Changes in bond yields: A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities and the Company ensures that it has enough reserves to fund the liability

(vi) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending Rs.31st March 2018 are Rs.279.76 Lakh

11 First-time Ind AS adoption reconciliations:

These are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies set out in note 1 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1st April, 2016 (the Company’s date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

A. Exemptions and exceptions availed

Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to IndAS.

A.1 Ind AS optional exemptions A.1.1 Deemed cost

I nd AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for decommissioning liabilities, if any. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets. Accordingly, the company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.”

A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions A.2.1 Estimates

An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS as at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

- Fair valuation of financial guarantee contract

- Security deposits carried at amortised cost

A.2.2 De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities

I nd AS 101 requires a first time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of entity’s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognised as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions. The Company has elected to apply the derecognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.

B: Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

I nd AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

Reconciliation of total equity as at 31st March, 2017 and 1st April, 2016

C: Notes to first-time adoption Note 1: Fair valuation of investments

Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and realisability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended 31st March 2016. This increased the retained earnings by Rs.375.00 Lakh as at 31st March 2017 (1st April, 2016 - Rs.4/- Lakh).

Note 2: Derivative financial instruments

Under the previous GAAP, the Company applied the requirements of Accounting Standard 11 The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates to account for foreign currency forward contracts. At the inception of the contract, the forward premium or discount was separated and amortised as income or expense over the period of contract. The underlying receivables and payables were restated at the closing spot exchange rate.

Under Ind AS, derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments are fair valued with resulting changes being recognised in profit or loss. The fair valuation of forward contracts resulted in a loss of Rs.117 (April 01, 2015: Rs.11). Consequent to the above, the profit for the year and total equity as at 31st March, 2016 has decreased by Rs.106 as a result of the fair value change on the forward contracts.

Note 3: Deferred sales tax loan

Under the previous GAAP, the interest-free government loan and goverment loans at below market rate interest were carried at its cost. Under Ind AS, such loans are in the nature of financial liability, carried at amortised cost, with corresponding benefit of below the market rate of interest being recognised as a government grant. Difference between the fair value of the loan and the transaction cost has been recognised as government grant. Consequent to this change, the amount of loan decreased by Rs.17 as at 31st March, 2017 (April 01, 2016: Rs.46). The government grant liability increased by Rs.23 as at 31st March, 2017 (April 01, 2016: Rs.46.00 Lakh). The profit for the year and total equity as at 31st March, 2017 decrease by Rs.6 due to amortisation of government grant of Rs.26.00 Lakh, which is partially off-set by the unwinding of interest amounting to Rs.23.00 Lakh.

Note 4: Deferred tax

Under previous GAAP, deferred tax expense/credit were recognised on timing differences between book profits and taxable profits. Under Ind AS, deferred tax is required to be recognised on all temporary differences.

Accordingly, The management has recognised deferred tax liability of Rs.159 as at 31st March, 2017 (1st April, 2016- deferred tax asset of Rs.12.00 Lakh) on the above transition adjustments with a corresponding impact on retained earnings. Further, the deferred tax expense for the year ended 31st March, 2017 have decreased by Rs.170.00 Lakh

Note 5: Rebates and discounts

Under the previous GAAP, rebates and discounts (not in the nature of trade discount) were recognised as other expense and the revenue was recorded on gross amounts. Under Ind AS, revenue is recognised net of rebates and discounts. Accordingly the Revenue has decreased by Rs.11,692.00 Lakh for the period ended 31st March 2017 with a corresponding decrease in other expenses. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as result of this adjustment.

Note 6: Re-measurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31st March, 2017 increased by Rs.21 Lakh. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31st March 2017.

Note 7: Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognised in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the Statement of Profit and Loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.

Note 8: Retained earnings

Retained earnings as at 1st April, 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

Note 9: Reclassifications

The previous GAAP figures have been reclassified to conform to Ind AS presentation requirements.

The Previous GAAP figures have been reclassified to confirm to Ind AS presentation requirements

12 Previous year figures have been regrouped / reclassified, where necessary, to conform to this year’s classification.

However, the Customs and Central Excise Department raised the demand without considering the amounts paid. This demand and levy of penalty was contested by the Company before CESTAT, Bangalore and Hon'ble CESTAT remanded the case back to The Commissioner for fresh adjudication after considering all the aspects raised by the Company. The Commissioner gave his order confirming the demand and Company again approached CESTAT against this order. The matter is pending before CESTAT, Bangalore.

b) The Company purchased soya bean in the year 2004-05, converted the same in to DOC in 2005-06 and used some part for own consumption in manufacturing of shrimp feed and some part was exported. The resultant soya oil was sold locally. The Commercial Tax Act pertaining to soya bean processing and soya oil sale was amended with effect from 13.12.2004 and Commercial Tax department took the view that the soya bean purchased prior to 13.12.2004 will attract tax at old rates and a demand of Rs.29.22 lacs was raised. This is being contested by the Company in the High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

c) For the Assessment Year 2011-2012 Assessing officer disallowed expenditure of Rs.17.95 lacs U/s. 14A, of Income Tax Act, 1961 and raised demand for Rs. 5.13 lacs. Company is contesting the same before Commissioner Appeals.

However, Customs has disputed our claim and demanding duty applicable for import of complete feed. The demand is being contested by the Company before CESTAT, Channai.

The Company is contesting the demands and the management, including its tax advisors, believe that its position will likely be upheld in the appellate process. No tax expense has been accrued in the financial statements for the tax demand raised.
