In accordance with Ind AS 101 First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards, the Company has presented a reconciliation from the presentation of financial statements under Accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting standards) Rules, 2006 (“Previous GAAP”) to Ind AS. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as up to twelve months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

1.2 Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying financial statements. Any revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively in future periods. Key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the date of the financial statements which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of useful lives of property, plant and equipment, provisions and contingent liabilities.

1.3 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation:

A) Since there is no change in the functional currency, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date viz. April 1, 2016. Property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisitions including incidental expenses related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets (including cost of specific borrowings).

1.4 Inventories:

Stores and spares, raw materials and components are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower, Cost of Inventories has been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

1.12 Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with bank. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.13 Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing Costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized till the month in which the asset is ready to use, as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which these are incurred.

1.14 Taxation:

Current Income Tax:

Income Tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rates adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred Tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

1.15 Earnings per share:-

The basic & diluted earning per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholder for the period by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earning per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders & the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.16 Impairment of Assets:

Impairment of financial assets

The Company measures the expected credit loss associated with its assets based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates or any other appropriate basis. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Non Financial Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

1.17 Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimates. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A disclosure of contingent liability is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources.

1.18 Government grants

Grants from the Government are recoganised at the fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all the attached conditions.

When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the fair value and initial carrying value of the loan. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.

1.21 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or 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 way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Equity Investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at amortised cost. For all equity instruments not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-in-strument basis.

The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
