NOTE 36 : EMPLOYEE POST- RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The following are the employee benefit plans applicable to the employees of the Company

i Defined Contribution Plan

The Company also has a defined contribution plan. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund 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 Company’s contribution to Provident Fund H 31.63 Million (31 March 2022: H 25.76 Million) has been recognised in Profit or Loss under the head Employee Benefits Expense.

ii Gratuity (Defined benefit plan)

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 employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is an unfunded plan.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

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

1. Changes in bond yields: A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities.

2. Longevity risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

3. Salary growth risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.”

iii Other long term employee benefits:

Compensated Absences: (included as a part of salaries and wages in Note 32 - Employee benefits expense) All eligible employees can carry forward and avail / encash leave as per Company’s policies.

36.1 Employee Stock Option Plan

The Shareholders of the Company at the 30th Annual General Meeting held on 29 August 2022, approved Marksans Employees Stock Option Scheme 2022. Under the said scheme, the Company can grant a total of 8,186,273 options to the eligible employees for issue and allotment of equal number of equity shares of H 1/- each face value. The exercise price and other terms and conditions shall be as decided by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant of options from time to time. However, the said scheme has not been implemented yet.

NOTE 37 : CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s capital management strategy is to effectively determine, raise and deploy capital so as to create value for its shareholders. The same is done through a mix of either equity and/or preference and/or convertible and/or combination of short term/ long term debt as may be appropriate.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions, annual operating plans and long-term and other strategic investment plans. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The current capital structure of the Company is equity based with no financing through borrowings except through leasing. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Net debt and equity is given in the table below:

A. Accounting classification and fair values

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Fair value of cash and bank balances, trade receivables and other financial assets, trade payables, other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values are consistent with those used for the year ended March 31, 2022.

During the reporting period ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

Fair value hierarchy :

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of following:

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using 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, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

B. Financial Risk Management Framework

The Company’s activities expose it to variety of financial risks namely market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has various financial assets such as deposits, trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances directly related to their business operations. The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise of trade and other payables.

The Company’s senior management’s focus is to foresee the unpredictability and minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s overall risk management procedures to minimise the potential adverse effects of financial market on the Company’s performance are as follows :

(i) Credit risk analysis

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables.

The Company has significant concentration of credit risk with respect to the sale of goods as the Company sells majority of the productions to the group companies. Management closely monitors the credit quality and collectability of receivables. Since majority of the Company’s sales are to the group companies, there is no credit risk attached to the Company’s receivables. Outstanding customer receivables other than group companies are regularly monitored and any shipments to new overseas customers are generally covered by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance. The management continuously monitors the credit exposure towards the customers and makes provision against those balances considered doubtful of recovery. The Company establishes an allowances for credit losses and impairment that represents its estimates of Expected Credit Loss (ECL).

The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of H 4,402.62 Million at 31 March, 2023 (31 March, 2022: H 2,240.48 Million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with good credit ratings.

Trade and other receivables

As at the year ending 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, two customer is exceeding 10% of the Company’s total trade receivables.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

The Company’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired at each of the reporting dates and are of good credit quality, including those that are past due.

Summary of the Company’s exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is in Note 10.

Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 180 days are still collectible in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.

Other than trade and other receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but not impaired.

(ii) Liquidity risk analysis

Liquidity risk is the risk that company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company could be required to pay its liabilities earlier than expected or encounters difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial liabilities as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and bank balance and availability of funding through adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The Company’s activities are exposed to variety of financial risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risks)

(a) Foreign Currency risk

The Company’s foreign currency risk arises from its foreign operations, investments in foreign subsidiaries and foreign currency transactions. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where any transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company.

Since a major part of the Company’s revenue is in foreign currency and major part of the costs are in Indian Rupees, any movement in currency rates would have impact on the Company’s performance. Consequently, the overall objective of the foreign currency risk management is to minimize the short term currency impact on its revenue and cash-flow in order to improve the predictability of the financial performance.

The major foreign currency exposures for the Company are denominated in USD, GBP & EURO. Additionally, there are transactions which are entered into in other currencies and are not significant in relation to the total volume of the foreign currency exposures. The Company hedges its trade receivables based on historical trends, budgets and monthly sales estimates. The foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales.

(b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have any interest bearing borrowings, the exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is minimal.

(c) Other Price Risk:

The Company’s equity exposure in Subsidiaries, are carried at cost or deemed cost and these are subject to impairment testing as per the policy followed in this respect.

The company’s current investments which are fair valued through profit and loss and are not material. Accordingly, other price risk of the financial instrument to which the company is exposed is not expected to be material.

Exposure to interest rate risk

Since the Company does not have any interest bearing financial liabilities, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not have any significant impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company’s investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Hence, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

All transactions with related parties are made in the ordinary course of business and the same is at arm’s length. Outstanding balances at the year end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. The Company has not recorded any impairment for receivables. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related parties and the market in which related parties operate.

C. Information about major customers

During the years ended 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, revenues from transactions with a single customer amount to 10% or more of the Company’s revenues from customers includes 3 customers amounting to H 5,443.73 Million and H 5,719.57 Million respectively.

The following are the employee benefit plans applicable to the employees of the Company.

I Gratuity (defined benefit plan)

In accordance with the applicable laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ("the Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Gratuity Plan provides for a lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment of amounts that are based on salary and tenure of employment. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation.

Each sensitivity analysis result, disclosed here, is based on changing one assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be co-related. When calculating the sensitivity of the DBO to variations in significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the DBO calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as for calculating the liability recognised in the statement of financial position.

II compensated leave of absence plan (other long term benefit plan)

The Company permits encashment of leave accumulated by their employees on retirement and separation. The liability for encashment of privilege leave is determined and provided on the basis of actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at the date of the balance sheet.

Investment in Subsidiaries are carried at cost.

Trade receivables comprise amounts receivable from the sale of goods and services.

The management considers that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.

Bank balances and cash comprise cash and short-term deposits held by the Company. The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value.

Trade and other payables principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purchases and on-going costs. The management considers that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates their fair value.

Fair value hierarchy :

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using 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, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.

All amortised cost financial assets and liabilities are classified as level 3 inputs. credit risk analysis

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company''s receivables

cash and cash equivalents

The Company held cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances of Rs. 71.35 lakhs at March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: Rs. 256.18 lakhs, April 1, 2016 : Rs. 312.72 lakhs). The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties with good credit ratings.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are usually due within 180 days. Generally and by practice most customers enjoy a credit period of approximately 180 days and are not interest bearing, which is the normal industry practice. All trade receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. However, the Company does not identify specific concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade and other receivables, as the amounts recognised represent a large number of receivables from various customers.

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company''s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

The Company''s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired at each of the reporting dates and are of good credit quality, including those that are past due.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company''s credit risk exposure towards any single counterparty or any Companies counterparties having similar characteristics is considered to be negligible. The credit risk for liquid funds and other short term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Investment Risk

The company has an exposure to credit risk by generally investing in subsidiaries. The company does not expect non performance by any of subsidiaries.

Liquidity risk analysis

The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash-outflows due in day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly.

The Company maintains cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 30-day periods. Funding in regards to long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

NOTE NO. 11 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Company''s capital management objectives are:

- to ensure the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern; and

- to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the balance sheet. Capital for the reporting periods are summarised as follows:

The Company''s goal in capital management is to maintain a capital-to-overall financing structure ratio as low as possible.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e. equity and financial liabilities. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. 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.

Fair valuation for Financial Assets:

The Company has valued financial assets (other than Investment in subsidiaries are accounted at cost), at fair value. Impact of fair value changes as on the date of transition, is recognised in opening reserves and changes thereafter are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss or Other Comprehensive Income, as the case may be.

Equity

In preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Previous GAAP, the Company provided for proposed dividend and tax thereon to comply with the schedule III requirements of the Companies Act, 2013. On transition to Ind AS, proposed dividend is recognised based on the recognition principles of Ind AS 37- ''Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Considering that the dividend has been proposed after the date of financial statements and becomes payable only after approval by the shareholders, there is no present obligation to pay this dividend as at the date of statement of balance sheet. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend and tax thereon has been reversed.

Dividend on Preference share is recognised in Profit and loss as finance cost instead of charged to retain earning.

The Preference share require redemption on a specific date and for determined amount. The contractual obligation to deliver a cash at redemption exists and, therefore, preference share is considered as liability instead of equity.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities under Indian GAAP were recorded only on timing differences. However, on transition to Ind AS, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded on temporary differences. On transition to Ind AS, the carrying values of assets and liabilities have undergone a change as a result of the adjustments indicated above, and accordingly, the deferred tax position has been recomputed after considering the new carrying amounts.

Remeasurement benefits

Under previous GAAP, remeasurement benefits on defined benefit obligation has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Ind AS 19 - Employee benefits required these remeasurement benefits to be recognised in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and loss.

Presentation differences

In the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements, the Company has made several presentation differences between Previous GAAP and Ind AS. These differences have no impact on reported profit or total equity. Accordingly, some assets and liabilities have been reclassified into another line item under Ind AS at the date of transition. Further, in these financial statements, some line items are described differently (renamed) under Ind AS as compared to Previous GAAP, although the assets and liabilities included in these line items are unaffected.

Interest rate sensitivity

The Company policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term borrowing. The Company has taken several short term borrowings on fixed rate of interest. Since, there is no interest rate cash outflow associated with such fixed rate loans; an interest rate sensitivity analysis has not been performed.

The Company has outstanding borrowings of USD 3.67 million (2017 - USD 5.43 million) and GBP 3.14 million (2017 - GBP 2.64 million). In case of LIBOR/Benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) increases by 100 basis points then such increase shall have the following impact on:

NOTE NO. 12 RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks which results from the Company''s operating and investing activities. The Company''s risk management is coordinated, in close co-operation with the board of directors and the core management team of the subsidiaries, and focuses on actively securing the Company''s short to medium term cash flows by minimising the exposure to financial markets.

The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options.

Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, investment securities and deposits. By their nature, all such financial instruments involve risk including the credit risk of non-performance by counter parties.

The Company''s cash equivalents and deposits are invested with banks.

The Company''s trade and other receivables are actively monitored to review credit worthiness of the customers to whom credit terms are granted and also avoid significant concentrations of credit risks.

EUR conversion rate was Rs. 69.45 at the beginning of the year and scaled to a high of Rs. 81.75 and to low of Rs. 68.06. The closing rate is Rs. 75.71. Considering the volatility in direction of strengthening EUR upto 10% , the sensitivity analysis has been disclosed at 10% movements on strengthening and weakening effect for presenting comparable movement due to currency fluctuations.

NOTE NO. 13 REMEASUREMENT BENEFITS

Under previous GAAP, remeasurement benefits on defined benefit obligation has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Ind AS 19 - Employee benefits required these remeasurement benefits to be recognised in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and loss.

NOTE NO. 14 PRESENTATION DIFFERENCES

In the preparation of these Ind AS financial statements, the Company has made several presentation differences between Previous GAAP and Ind AS. These differences have no impact on reported profit or total equity. Accordingly, some assets and liabilities have been reclassified into another line item under Ind AS at the date of transition. Further, in these financial statements, some line items are described differently (renamed) under Ind AS as compared to previous GAAP, although the assets and liabilities included in these line items are unaffected.

1 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are interest, amortization of ancillary cost incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs incurred by the Company in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it is incurred, except where the cost is incurred for acquisition, construction, production or development of an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use in which case it is capitalized up to the date the assets are ready for their intended use. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are amortized over the period of such borrowings.

2. Segment Reporting as per AS 17

a. Business Segments

The Company is primarily engaged in a single business segment of manufacturing and marketing of Pharmaceutical Formulations and is managed as one entity for its various activities and is governed by a similar set of risks and returns.

b. Geographical Segments

In view of the management, the Indian and export markets represent geographical segments.

3. Leases Finance Leases

Assets leased by the Company in its capacity as lessee where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership vest in the Company are classified as the finance leases.

Assets acquired under finance lease are recognized as assets with corresponding liabilities in the Balance Sheet at the inception of the lease at amounts equal to lower of the fair value of the leased asset or at the present value of the minimum lease payments. These leased assets are depreciated in line with the Company''s policy on depreciation of fixed assets. The interest is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Operating Leases

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the less or are recognized as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit.

4. Taxes on Income

Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period.

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is highly probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.

Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent period. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realized. Deferred tax assets are not recognized on unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses unless there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax assets can be realized. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses and items relating to capital losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realize the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their reliability.

Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognizable in reserves are recognized in reserves and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Operating Cycle

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 ascertains its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current-non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

6. Tangible and Intangible fixed assets

a) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation/ amortization/impairment losses. The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

Exchange differences (favorable as well as unfavorable) arising in respect of translation/ settlement of long term foreign currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset are also included in the

Insurance spares/ standby equipments are capitalized as part of the mother asset and are depreciated at applicable rates over the remaining useful life of the mother assets.

b) Intangible fixed assets Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

8. Significant Accounting Policies used in preparation of the Financial Statements of the Company (contd.)

If the carrying amount of the assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognized for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.

When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognized.
