1 Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments)Rules, 2016.

For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP). These financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 are the first time the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind-AS. Refer to Note No.37 for information on how the Company adopted Ind AS.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis using the accrual method of accounting basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been carried at fair value:

Land classified as property, plant and equipment.

Derivative financial instruments i.e. Forward Contracts.

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value.

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) and all values are recorded to the nearest Lakhs. (INR Rs. 00,000) except otherwise indicated.

1.2 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

1.3 Property, plant and equipment

a) Tangible assets:

Property, Plant and equipment were carried in the balance sheet prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP on the basis of their historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment as on the date of transition i.e. 01.04.2016. The Company has elected to regard those written down values as deemed cost as at the date of the transition as per the option available to the Company, as fair value, while adopting Ind AS for the first time except for certain Land acquired by the Company upon merger of erstwhile Borax Morarji Limited has been stated at fair value as per the valuation report obtained by the Company.

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction, including attributable interest and financial costs till such assets are ready for its intended use, less accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and specific grants received, if any.

The expenditure incurred during the period of construction (including cost of trial runs, stores issued, expenses on labour allocated for such purpose) is debited to capital work-in-progress and on completion, the costs are allocated to the respective items of Property, Plant and Equipment. Interest on specific borrowings relating to acquisition of fixed assets is capitalised up to the date of commissioning.

Derecognition:

An item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is measured at their fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangibles are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Derecognition:

An item of intangible initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

1.4 Depreciation/Amortization:

Depreciation on all items of Property, Plant and Equipment is provided for on Straight Line basis over the estimated useful life specified in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on additions and deletions during the year is provided on pro-rata basis.

Cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

1.5 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGu) 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 are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGu exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

1.6 Non Current Assets held for Sale

Non current assets are classified as held for sale, if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sale. Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Once classified as held for sale, Property, plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets are no longer depreciated or amortized.

1.7 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended period when active development activities on the qualifying assets is interrupted. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

1.8 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials: purchase cost on a weighted average basis

Cost of Finished goods and work in progress include materials cost, cost of conversion, depreciation, other overheads to the extent applicable but excluding borrowing costs

1.9 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less any provisions for doubtful debts. For the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) simplified approach is adopted by the Company as permissible. Provisions are made where there is evidence of a risk of non-payment, taking into account ageing, previous experience and general economic conditions. When a trade receivable is determined to be uncollectable it is written off, firstly against any provision available and then to the income statement.

1.10 Revenue recognition

The Company recognises revenue in accordance with Ind AS 18. Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and trade discounts, rebates, GST.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when (a) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. (b) The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer; and (c) The entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold and returns.

Goods sold on consignment are recorded as inventory until goods are sold by the consignee to the end customer.

Export sales are recognised based on the shipped on board date as per bill of lading when significant risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer.

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accounted to the extent considered receivable. These are presented as other operating income in the Statement of Profit & Loss.

Earning from sale of power generated from Wind Mills is accounted for on tariff rate agreed and as per Power Purchase agreement with respective Electricity Board.

Royalty and service income are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contractual agreement.

Interest income is recognised on accrual basis.

Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted /expected to be admitted and to the extent that there is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.

Dividend income on investment is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account on the date on which the Company’s right to receive is established.

1.11 Foreign Exchange Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the rate prevalent on the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Differences arising on settlement or year end conversion of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are converted using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

1.12 Employee Benefits Contribution Plans:

Contributions to the Company’s Provident Fund, Family Pension Fund, Superannuation Fund are being charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Benefits Plans:

The Company has the scheme which enables employees to encash the accumulated privilege leave (upto stipulated limits) on retirement. The ‘Company’s liability in respect of this leave encashment scheme is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation and the same is charged to the Statement of Profit & Loss and is unfunded. Gratuity Benefits (based on actuarial valuation) is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss and is unfunded.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method.

The service cost and the net interest cost are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Actuarial gains and losses arise due to difference in the actual experience and the assumed parameters and also due to changes in the actuarial assumptions used for valuation. The Company recognizes these re-measurements in the Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

1.13 Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. The amount of total deferred tax could change if estimates of projected future taxable income or if tax regulations undergo a change.

Deferred income tax assets and liablities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax is reviewed at each reporting date.

The benefit of credit against the payment made towards Minimum Alternate Tax for the earlier years is available in accordance with the provisions of the section 115J (AA) of Income Tax Act, 1961 over the period of subsequent 15 assessment year. It is not recognised in view of the uncertainty involved of its realisation against the future taxable income.

1.14 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liability is disclosed for (i) Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by the future events not wholly within the control of the company or (ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

Contingent Assets

Contingent Assets are only disclosed when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company.

1.15 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.16 Business Combinations and Goodwill

In accordance with Ind-AS 101 provisions related to first time adoption, the Company has elected to apply Ind AS accounting for business combinations prospectively from 1 April 2016. As such, Indian GAAP balances relating to business combinations entered into before that date, including goodwill, have been carried forward.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred (measured at acquisition date at fair value) and the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Company elects whether to measure the noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Company re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the Company recognises the gain directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

1.17 Current and Non current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset as current when it is:

- Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading

- Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period .

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and non-current liabilities, as the case may be.

1.18 Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

a) Financial Assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit and loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular day trades) are recognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

Debt Instruments at amortised cost:

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. After initial measurement, debt instruments at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment, if any.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets which are not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss. Investment in Subsidiary

Investment in subsidiary is carried at cost in the financial statements

b) Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including cash credit accounts and derivative financial instruments like Forward Cover Contracts.

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as at fair value through profit and loss or as those measured at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial liabilities held for trading.

The Company has not designated any financial liabilities upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method except for those designated in an effective hedging relationship.

1.19 Derivative Financial Instruments

The company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts generally to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counter party for these contracts is generally a bank and these are generally designated as hedges. Any derivative that is either not designated a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109, is categorized as a financial asset or financial liability, at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Assets/liabilities in this category are presented as current assets/current liabilities if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date.

1.20 Fair value measurement

The company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: - In the principal market for the asset or liability, or - In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: - Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities - Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable - Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. The Company’s management determine the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations. At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be remeasured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verify the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

1.21 Investment Properties

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on evaluation every three years performed by an accredited external independent valuer, at every 3 years rest, by applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

1.22 Cash & Cash equivalents and Short Term deposits

Cash and Cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

1.23 Research and Development Costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual project are recognized as an Intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate; (i) Technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale (ii) It’s intention to complete and its ability and intentions to use or sell the asset (iii) How the asset will generate future economic benefits (iv) the availability of resources to complete the asset (v) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefits. Amortization expenses is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

1.24 Cash dividend to equity Shareholders:

The Company recognises a liability to make cash or distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
