Accounting Policies of Bombay Dyeing & Manufacturing Company Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2022

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Company Limited ("the Company") was incorporated on August 23, 1879. It originated as an integrated textile mill however; it is currently engaged primarily in the business of Real Estate Development, Polyester Staple Fibre and Retail. The Company is a public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in India and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). The Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) are listed at Societe de la Bourse Luxembourg. The Company''s registered office is at Neville House, J.N. Heredia Marg, Ballard Estate, Mumbai - 400001.

These aforesaid Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 are approved by the Company''s Board of Directors and authorised for issue in the meeting held on May 4, 2022.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESa. Statement of Compliance

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, (Amended) 2015 and notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs("MCA") pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3.

b. Basis of Preparation and Presentation

The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes in these Financial Statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116 ''Leases'' ("Ind AS 116") and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 ''Inventories'' ("Ind AS 2") or value in use in Ind AS 36 ''Impairment of Assets'' ("Ind AS 36").

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as Current and Non-Current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products/ services rendered and the time between the rendering of the products/services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of Current and NonCurrent classification of assets and liabilities.

All the Indian Accounting Standards issued and notified by the MCA are effective and considered for the significant accounting policies to the extent relevant and applicable for the Company.

The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupee ("INR"), which is the Company''s functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest crores upto two decimals, except when otherwise indicated.

c. Key Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses at the date of these Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future periods.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

i. Determination of the timing of revenue recognition on the sale of completed and under development property in respect of Real Estate Development activity

Determination of revenue whether over time (Percentage Completion Method) or at a point in time (Project completion method) necessarily involves making judgement as to when the performance obligation under the contracts with customers is satisfied. It has been evaluated and generally concluded that the recognition of revenue over the period of time criteria are not met owing to non-enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and, therefore, recognises revenue at a point in time. It has further been evaluated and concluded that based on the analysis of the rights and obligations under the terms of the contracts relating to the sale of property, the revenue is to be recognised at a point in time when control transfers which coincides with receipt of Occupancy Certificate and the property is made available for possession to the customers.

ii. Determination of performance obligations

With respect to the sale of property, the Company has evaluated and concluded that the goods and services transferred in each contract constitute a single performance obligation. In particular, the promised goods and services in contracts for the sale of property is to undertake development of property and obtaining the Occupancy Certificate. Generally, the Company is responsible for all these goods and services and the overall management of the project. Although these goods and services are capable of being distinct, the Company accounts for them as a single performance obligation because they are not distinct in the context of the contract.

iii. Useful Lives of Property , Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly, depreciable lives are reviewed annually using the best information available to the Management.

iv. Provisions, Liabilities and Contingencies

Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires application of judgments to existing facts and circumstances which may be subject to change. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre - tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

A contingent asset is not recognised, but disclosed in the Financial Statements when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. Provisions, contingent liability and assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

v. Fair Value Measurements

When the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the Financial Statements cannot be measured at the quoted price in the active markets, their fair value is measured using the valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

vi. Recognition and Measurement of defined benefit obligation

The obligation arising from defined benefit plans is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

vii. Income Taxes

The Company''s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions. Significant management judgements is also required in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred tax assets which is based on estimates of taxable income.

viii. Leases

The Company evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116. Identification of a lease requires significant judgement. The Company uses significant judgement in assessing the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated or for a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

d. Recent pronouncements

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") MCA through a notification of March 23, 2022, introduced the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 to amend the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 which come into force with effect from April 1, 2022. The following are the amendments :

i. Ind AS 103 - Business Combination

The amendment specifies that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date.

For example, costs the acquirer expects but is not obliged to incur in the future to effect its plan to exit an activity of an acquiree or to terminate the employment of or relocate an acquiree''s employees are not liabilities at the acquisition date.

Therefore, the acquirer does not recognise those costs as part of applying the acquisition method and instead, the acquirer recognises those costs in its post combination financial statements in accordance with other Ind AS.

This amendment does not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103 and the Company does not expect the amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

ii. Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments

The amendment clarifies that while performing the ''10 percent test'' for derecognition of a financial liability, for computing the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, for determining fees paid net of fees received, a borrower should include only fees paid or received between borrower and lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other''s behalf.

This amendment is under Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021).

The Company does not expect the above amendment/ improvement to have any significant impact on its standalone financial statements.

iii. Ind AS 16 - Property Plant and Equipment

The amendment clarifies that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, is not to be recognised in the profit or loss but is to be deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any impact its recognition of its property, plant and equipment in its standalone financial statements.

iv. Ind AS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

The amendment specifies that the ''cost of fulfilling'' a contract comprises the ''costs that relate directly to the contract''. Costs that relate directly to a contract consist of both, the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract). The amendment also provides for transitional provisions for contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled its obligations. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.

The amendments to Ind AS 101 - First Time Adoption and Ind AS 41 - Agriculture have not been specified here since both Standards are presently not applicable to the Company.

e. Property, Plant and Equipmenti. Recognition and Measurement

Property, Plant and Equipment ("PPE") are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is measured at cost and is not depreciated.

Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties and other direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the condition of its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. Borrowing

costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is also capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

ii. Depreciation

Depreciation on PPE other than Furniture & Fixtures and Motor Vehicles, is provided on the straight-line method, pro-rata to the period of use, over their useful life. Depreciation on Furniture & Fixtures and Motor Vehicles is provided on the written down value method, pro rata to the period of use, over their useful life. The estimated useful lives and residual values are as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except for movable site offices and assets of retail shops (including leasehold improvements), which are based on technical evaluation of useful life by the management.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Asset

Useful Life

Buildings

30 to 60 Years

Movable site offices

10 Years

Plant and Machinery

15 to 25 Years

Assets of retail shops including leasehold improvements

6 Years

Computers

3 to 6 Years

Furniture and fixture

10 Years

Office equipment

5 Years

Vehicles

8 Years

The PSF manufacturing plant at Patalganga is treated as a Continuous process plants based on technical assessment.

An item of PPE is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii. Capital Work-in-progress and Capital Advances

Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on Balance Sheet date, is shown as Capital Work-inprogress. Advances given towards acquisition of PPE outstanding at each Balance Sheet date are disclosed as Other Non-current Assets.

f. Investment Property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties and other direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the condition of its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is also capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Depreciation on investment property is provided on the straight-line method, pro-rata to the period of use, over the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

An investment property is de-recognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the property is de-recognised.

g. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is de-recognised.

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

amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected useful lives.

Estimated useful lives of the finite-life intangible assets are as follows:

Asset

Useful Life

Computer Software

5 years

Technical know-how

10 years

An intangible asset having indefinite useful life is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually. Indefinite life intangibles mainly consist of brands/trademarks. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

h. Impairment of Tangible Assets and Intangible Assets other than Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount,

but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

i. Investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Venture and Associates:

Investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

j. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Cost is determined as follows:

i. Raw materials, stores & spares, finished goods and stock-in-trade on a weighted average method.

ii. Work-in-progress PSF division

Material cost included in the valuation is determined on the basis of the weighted average rate and cost of conversion and other costs are determined on the basis of average cost of conversion of the preceding month.

iii. Real Estate Under Development

Real estate under development comprises cost of land, premium for development rights, rates & taxes, construction costs, borrowing costs, overheads and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. Cost of land and construction / development costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss proportionate to area sold and at the time when corresponding revenue is recognised.

k. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and other short term highly liquid

investments, which are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and have original maturities of three months or less.

l. Statement of Cash Flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, other short-term deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash.

m. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial Assets:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value. All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Trade Receivables and Loans:

Trade Receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method net of

any Expected Credit Losses ("ECL"). The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instrument.

Debt Instruments:

Debt instruments are initially measured at amortised cost, FVOCI or FVTPL till derecognition, on the basis of (i) the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

i. Measured at amortised cost: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

ii. Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognised in the Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii. Measured at fair value through profit or loss: A

financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments:

All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at fair value. The Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless

the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Impairment of Financial Asset

Expected credit losses are recognised for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL category.

Expected credit losses is the weighted-average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:

• All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.

• Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requires measurement ofloss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, the Company recognises 12 month expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.

Financial Liabilities and Equity InstrumentsClassification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company''s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company''s own equity instruments.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as FVTPL. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities carried at FVTPL are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest expense are included in the ''Finance costs'' line item.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial Guarantee Contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the

holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 115.

When guarantee in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as cost of investment.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss immediately. The Company has not designated any derivative instruments as a hedging instrument.

n. Provisions, Liabilities and Contingencies

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is

virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

o. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenues primarily from Sale of Polyester Staple Fibre and Retail/Textile and business of Real Estate Development; its other operating revenues include Lease Rentals and Subvention Income.

Revenue from contracts with customers for sale of goods or services is recognised when the Company satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods or services to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company is expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for trade discounts, incentives and returns, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers. The trade discounts incentives and right of return are estimated and provided for, based on historical, current and forecast information available. A refund liability is recognised for expected returns in relation to sales made, corresponding assets are recognised for the products expected to be returned.

The Company does not expect to have any contract where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceed one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

Sale of Goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer involving single performance obligation. The control of goods is transferred to the customer depending upon the incoterms or as agreed with customer, delivery basis or dispatch, as the case may be (i.e. at the point in time when goods are delivered at the dealer site or when the customer purchases the goods at the retail outlet). In case of Export of goods, the control of goods is transferred on receipt of Bill of Lading / Mate Receipt.

Sale of Services

Revenue from services, which mainly consists of lease rentals from letting of space, is recognised over time on satisfying performance obligations as per the terms of agreement, that is, by reference to the period in which services are being rendered. Revenue from services, if any, involving single performance obligation is recognised at a point in time.

Export Incentives

Revenue from Export Incentives under various schemes of the Government of India is recognised in the year in which the revenue from related export sales is accounted for. Advance License Benefits on exports are recognised in the year of utilisation of license.

Real Estate Transactions

The Company develops and sel ls residential and commercial properties. Revenue is recognised when the control over the property is transferred to the customer. An enforceable right to payment does not arise for performance completed to date and it arises only on the development of the property is completed. Therefore, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the legal title has passed to the customer and the development of property is completed, that is, on the receipt of the Occupancy Certificate. The revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. The Company invoices the customers for construction contracts based on achieving performance-related milestones. For other cases, the consideration is due when legal title has been transferred.

For certain contracts involving the sale of property under development, the Company offers deferred payment schemes to its customers. The Company adjusts the transaction price for the effects of the significant financing component.

Revenue from Sale of land and other rights is generally a single performance obligation and the Company has determined that this is satisfied at the point in time when control transfers as per the terms of the contract entered into with the buyers, which generally are with the firmity of the sale contracts / agreements. The determination of transfer of control did not change upon the adoption of Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

A receivable is recognised by the Company when the control over the goods and services is transferred to the customer such as when goods and services are delivered as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due (which is referred to as "Trade Receivable").

A receivable is recognised when the Company''s right to an amount of consideration under the contract with the customer that is unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.

Contract Assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer for which the consideration (or the amount is due) has been received from the customer. If the customer pays the consideration before the transfer of goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

Interest Income and Dividend

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rates. Interest income is included under the head "Other Income" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend Income is recognised when the right to receive the payment is established. Incomes from investments are accounted on an accrual basis.

p. Lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the company assesses whether:

• The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, the asset is not identified.

• The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

• The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has the right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases, where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

• The Company has the right to operate the asset; or

• The Company designed the asset in a way that predetermined how and for what purpose it will be used

This policy is applied to all contracts entered into, or changed, on or after April 1, 2019.

As a Lessee

The Company recognises a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The ROU asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the ROU asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, and the Company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

• amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

• the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company''s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the ROU asset, or is recorded in the Statement of profit or loss if the carrying amount of the ROU asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company presents ROU assets that meet the definition of investment property are presented within investment property otherwise under "Property, Plant and Equipment" and lease liabilities under "Financial Liabilities" in the Balance Sheet.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term lease of Property, Plant and Equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a Lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sublease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies Ind AS 115 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ''Other Operating Income under Revenue from Operation'' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

However, when the Company was an intermediate lessor the sub-leases were classified with reference to the underlying asset.

q. Cost recognition

Costs and expenses are recognised when incurred and are classified according to their nature.

r. Employee Benefits

Long Term Post-employment benefits

Contributions to defined contribution schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

i. Provident and Family Pension Fund

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive post-employment benefits in respect of provident and family pension fund, in which both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the employees'' eligible salary (currently 12% of employees'' eligible salary). The contributions are made to the provident fund and pension fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company or to respective Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company has no further obligations beyond making the contribution, except that any shortfall in the fund assets based on the Government specified minimum rates of return in respect of provident fund set up by the Company. The Company does not expect a shortfall in the fund assets in the near term and has consequently classified the scheme as a defined contribution scheme and is committed to recognise such contributions and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year it is incurred.

ii. Superannuation

The eligible employees of the Company who have opted for superannuation are entitled to receive post-employment benefits in respect of superannuation fund in which the Company makes annual contribution at a specified percentage of the employees'' eligible salary (currently 10% or 15 % of employees'' eligible salary). The contributions are made to the Superannuation fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company. Superannuation is classified as Defined Contribution Plan as the Company has no further obligations beyond making the contribution. The Company''s contribution to Defined Contribution Plan is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. Past service cost is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• service cost (including current service cost,

past service cost, as well as gains and losses on

curtailments and settlements);

• net interest expense or income; and

• re-measurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in Statement of Profit and Loss in the line item ''Employee Benefits Expense''. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

The Company has the following Defined Benefit Plans:

i. Gratuity

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment, of an amount equivalent to 15 days or 30 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Contributions are made to the Gratuity Fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company.

ii. Other long-term employee benefits - Compensated absences

The Company provides for encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certain rules. Earlier, post 2014,

(a) Statement of compliance

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2016.

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 are the first the Company has prepared under Ind AS and the date of transition to Ind AS is April 1, 2016. For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company had prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under section 133 of Act, read with the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (“Previous GAAP”). The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017 and the opening Balance Sheet as at April 31, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative information. Reconciliation and explanations of the effect of the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS on the Company’s Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and Statement of Cash Flows are provided in note.

The aforesaid financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue in the meeting held on May 14, 2018.

(b) Basis of Preparation & Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability, if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17 ‘Leases’ (“Ind AS 17”) and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 ‘Inventories’ (“Ind AS 2”) or value in use in Ind AS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ (“Ind AS 36”).

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as Current and Non-Current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services rendered and the time between the rendering of the services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of Current and Non-Current classification of assets and liabilities.

All the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs are effective and considered for the significant accounting policies to the extent relevant and applicable for the Company.

The financial statements are presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest crores upto two decimals, except when otherwise indicated.

(c) Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under Note 2 above, the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future period, if the revision affects current and future period.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

i) Evaluation of percentage completion

Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentage of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project or activity and the foreseeable losses to completion. Estimates of project income, as well as project costs, are reviewed periodically. The effect of changes, if any, to estimates is recognised in the financial statements for the period in which such changes are determined.

ii) Useful Lives of property , plant and equipment

Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. Accordingly, depreciable lives are reviewed annually using the best information available to the Management.

iii) Provisions, liabilities and contingencies

Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events that can reasonably be estimated. The timing of recognition requires application of judgments to existing facts and circumstances which may be subject to change. The amounts are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre - tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognized.

iv) Fair Value Measurements

When the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be measured at the quoted price in the active markets, their fair value is measured using the valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values, judgments includes consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk , credit risk and volatility.

v) Recognition and Measurement of defined benefit obligation

The obligation arising from defined benefit plans is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

Critical accounting Judgments

Merger of archway on the morning hours of the transition date i.e. 01st April, 2016

During the year 2016-17, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Archway Investments Company Limited, a Non-Banking Finance Company, has been amalgamated with the Company in terms of the scheme of amalgamation (‘Scheme’) sanctioned by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) vide its Order dated June 20, 2017.

The Scheme became effective on June 28, 2017 with appointed date of April 1, 2016 when the sanction of the NCLT was received and certified copy of the same filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Scheme has been accounted for under the ‘Pooling of Interests Method’ as prescribed in Appendix C of Ind AS 103 for business combinations of entities under common control.

(d) Recent Accounting Developments

Standards issued but not yet effective

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:

On March 28, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018.

Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers:

On March 28, 2018, MCA has notified the Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8- Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach). The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.

The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2018.

(e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is measured at cost and is not depreciated.

Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties and other direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the condition of its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred. Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is also capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment other than furniture & fixtures and motor vehicles, is provided on the straight-line method, pro-rata to the period of use, over their useful life. Depreciation on furniture & fixtures and motor vehicles is provided on the written down value method, pro rata to the period of use, over their useful life. The estimated useful lives and residual values are as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except for movable site offices and assets of retail shops (including leasehold improvements), which are based on technical evaluation of useful life by the management.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

The PSF manufacturing plant at Patalganga is treated as a Continuous process plants based on technical assessment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Transition to Ind AS

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its property, plant and equipment at the previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. April 01, 2016.

(f) Investment Property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/ or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost includes purchase price, taxes and duties and other direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the condition of its intended use. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset is also capitalised as part of the cost of the asset.

Depreciation on investment property is provided on the straight-line method, pro-rata to the period of use, over the useful life as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de recognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in statement of profit and loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

Transition to Ind AS

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its investment property at the previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. April 1, 2016.

(g) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

An intangible asset is de-recognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognized.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Finite-life intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected useful lives.

Estimated useful lives of the finite-life intangible assets are as follows:

An intangible asset having indefinite useful life is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually. Indefinite life intangibles mainly consist of brands/trademarks. The assessment of i ndefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues, if not, it is impaired or changed prospectively basis revised estimates.

The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Transition to Ind AS

For transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its intangible assets at the previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. April 1, 2016.

(h) Impairment of tangible assets and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

(i) Investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Venture and Associates:

Investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries, joint venture and associates, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Upon first-time adoption of Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at the Previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e., 1st April, 2016.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Cost is determined as follows:

i. Raw materials, stores & spares, finished goods and stock-in-trade on a weighted average method.

ii. Work-in-progress PSF division

Material cost included in the valuation is determined on the basis of the weighted average rate and cost of conversion and other costs are determined on the basis of average cost of conversion of the preceding month.

iii. Real estate under development

Real estate under development comprises cost of land, premium for development rights, rates & taxes, construction costs, borrowing costs, overheads and expenses incidental to the projects undertaken by the Company. Cost of land and construction / development costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss proportionate to area sold and at the time when corresponding revenue is recognized.

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and other short term highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and have original maturities of three months or less.

(l) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in statement of profit and loss.

Financial Assets:

On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value. All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Trade Receivables and Loans:

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instrument.

Debt Instruments:

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL) till derecognition, on the basis of (i) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

(a) Measured at amortised cost: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(c) Measured at fair value through profit or loss: A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments:

All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are initially measured at fair value. The Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in OCI. Amounts recognised in OCI are not subsequently reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Impairment of Financial Asset

Expected credit losses are recognized for all financial assets subsequent to initial recognition other than financials assets in FVTPL category.

ECL is the weighted-average of difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate, with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. When estimating the cash flows, the Company is required to consider:

- All contractual terms of the financial assets (including prepayment and extension) over the expected life of the assets.

- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach of Ind AS 109, which requires measurement of loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

For financial assets other than trade receivables, as per Ind AS 109, the Company recognises 12 month expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the balance sheet date.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit or loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Interest expense are included in the ‘Finance costs’ line item.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are initially measured at their fair values and are subsequently measured at the higher of:

- the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and

- the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.

When guarantee in relation to loans or other payables of subsidiaries are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognized as cost of investment.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss immediately. The Company has not designated any derivative instruments as a hedging instrument.

(m) 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 the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material). When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(n) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated rebates and similar allowances.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer as per the terms of the contract, there is no continuing managerial involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The Company retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with ownership and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of goods. Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales.

Income from export incentives such as duty drawback and premium on sale of import licenses, and lease license fee are recognised on accrual basis.

Rendering of services

Revenue from contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as the proportion of the total time expected to complete the service that has elapsed at the end of reporting period.

Income from Real Estate Activity

Revenue from real estate activity is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, all significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customers and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.

Revenue from real estate development activity is recognized in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Real Estate Transactions (for entities to whom Ind AS is applicable) issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Accordingly, where the Company still has obligations to perform substantial acts even after the transfer of all significant risks and rewards, revenue is recognized on the ‘Percentage of Completion Method’. Revenue is recognized in relation to the sold areas, on the basis of percentage of actual cost incurred to the total estimated cost of project.

In accordance with the Guidance Note, revenues from real estate projects are recognized only when:

i. all critical approvals necessary for commencement of the project have been obtained, and

ii. the actual construction and development cost incurred is at least 25% of the total construction and development cost (excluding cost of land), and

iii. at least 10% of the sales consideration is realized, and

iv. at least 25% of the total saleable area of the project is secured by contracts or agreements with buyers.

Cost of Construction / Development (including cost of land) incurred is charged to the statement of profit and loss proportionate to area sold and the balance cost is carried over under Inventory as part of Development Work-in-Progress. Cost of construction / development includes all costs directly related to the Project and other expenditure as identified by the management which are reasonably allocable to the project.

Unbilled revenue disclosed under other non-current and other current assets represents revenue recognized over and above amount due as per payment plans agreed with the customers. Progress billings which exceed the costs and recognized profits to date on projects under construction are disclosed as advance received from customers under other current liabilities. Any billed amount that has not been collected is disclosed under trade receivables.

Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, relating to the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project and the foreseeable losses to completion.

The estimates of saleable area and cost of construction are reviewed periodically by the management and the effect of such changes to estimates is recognized in the period such changes are determined. However, when the total project cost is estimated to exceed total revenues from the project, the loss is recognized immediately.

Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(o) Cost recognition

Costs and expenses are recognized when incurred and are classified according to their nature.

(p) Employee Benefits

Post-employment benefits

Contributions to defined contribution schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

a. Provident and Family Pension Fund

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive post-employment benefits in respect of provident and family pension fund, in which both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the employees’ eligible salary (currently 12% of employees’ eligible salary). The contributions are made to the provident fund and pension fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company or to respective Regional Provident Fund Commissioner. The Company has no further obligations beyond making the contribution, except that any shortfall in the fund assets based on the Government specified minimum rates of return in respect of provident fund set up by the Company. The Company does not expect a shortfall in the fund assets in the near term and has consequently classified the scheme as a defined contribution scheme and is committed to recognise such contributions and shortfall, if any, as an expense in the year it is incurred.

b. Superannuation

The eligible employees ofthe Company are entitled to receive post-employment benefits in respect of superannuation fund in which the Company makes annual contribution at a specified percentage of the employees’ eligible salary (currently 10% or 15 % of employees’ eligible salary). The contributions are made to the Superannuation fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company. Superannuation is classified as Defined Contribution Plan as the Company has no further obligations beyond making the contribution. The Company’s contribution to Defined Contribution Plan is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss. Past service cost is recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

- service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

- net interest expense or income; and

- re-measurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in statement of profit and loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

The company has the following Defined Benefit Plans:

a. Gratuity

The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of employment, of an amount equivalent to 15 days or 30 days salary payable for each completed year of service. Ves/ting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Contributions are made to the Gratuity Fund set up as irrevocable trust by the Company.

b. Other long-term employee benefits - compensated absences

The Company provides for encashment of leave or leave with pay subject to certain rules. The leave accumulated to the credit of the employees up to Dec 31, 2014 is available for carry forward and encashment on separation. The Company makes provision for such compensated absences based on an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the year end, which is calculated using Project Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses which comprise experience adjustment and the effect of change in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Post 2014, leave earned during the year has to be utilized by the employees within the following year. Such leave is a short term employee benefit and is provided at the undiscounted amount in the period in which it is incurred.

c. Termination Benefits

The Company provides for compensation payable as part of termination benefits when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Termination benefits falling due more than twelve months after the balance sheet date are provided on the basis of an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary as at the year-end using Project Unit Credit Method.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, performance incentives and similar benefits other than compensated absences in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

(q) Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in statement of profit and loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

(r) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in statement of profit and loss 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 costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

(s) Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and transferred to statement of profit and loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they become receivable.

The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.

(t) Foreign Currency Transactions

The management of the Company has determined Indian rupee (“INR”) as the functional currency of the Company. In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

(u) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue and shares split that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating Diluted Earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(v) Taxation Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax’ as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against those deductible temporary differences which can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(w) Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

The Company as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the Company’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company as lessee

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(x) Segment Reporting

Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosures about products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Based on the ‘management approach’ as defined in Ind AS 108, the company is required to present information in the manner which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the company’s performance and allocates resources. The analysis is general ly based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments.

The accounting principles used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments, and are as set out in the relevant applicable accounting policies above. Revenue and identifiable operating expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment.

Segment assets include all operating assets used by the business segments and consist principally of fixed assets, debtors and inventories. Segment liabilities include the operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of the business. Segment assets and liabilities that cannot be allocated between the segments are shown as part of unallocated corporate assets and liabilities respectively. Income / Expenses relating to the enterprise as whole and not allocable on a reasonable basis to business segments are reflected as unallocated corporate income / expenses. Inter-segment transfers are accounted at prevailing market prices.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported balances of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods.

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers/dealers. Revenue from sale of products is recognized net of discounts.

Revenue from real estate activity

The PSF manufacturing plant at Patalganga is treated as a Continuous process plant based on technical assessment.

(f) Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Company''s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset''s recoverable amounts are estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss, if any. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which impairment takes place.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, however subject to the increased carrying amount not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior accounting periods.

(g) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of ancillary costs, amortization of discounts related to borrowings and foreign exchange to the extent they are regarded as adjustment to interest costs.

Any billed amount that has not been collected is disclosed under trade receivables.

(a) Basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for revaluation of certain freehold land on conversion to stock-in-trade, on an accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the accounting standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General circular 15/2013 dated 13th September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and the provisions of the Act, to the extent applicable.

The classification of assets and liabilities of the Company into current or non-current is based on the criterion specified in the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current – non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers/dealers.

(d) Revenue from real estate activity

Revenue from real estate activity is recognised on the transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customers and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.

The freehold land under Real Estate Development planned for sale, is converted from fixed assets into stock-in-trade at market value. The difference between the market value and cost of that part of freehold land is credited to revaluation reserve and is released to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the proportion of revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method on entering into an agreement/ contract for sale.

Revenue from real estate development activity where the Company still has obligations to perform substantial acts even after the transfer of all significant risks and rewards, is recognised on the ''Percentage of Completion Method''. Revenue is recognised in relation to the sold areas, on the basis of percentage of actual cost incurred, including land, development and construction costs as against the total estimated cost of project. Revenue is recognised, if the cost incurred is in excess of 25% of the total estimated cost and the outcome of the project can be reliably ascertained. The company continues to recognize revenue in accordance with the Guidance Note on Recognition of Revenue by Real Estate Developers (Issued 2006) as the Company''s ongoing projects have commenced before 1st April 2012.

Cost of Construction/Development (including cost of land) incurred is charged to the statement of profit and loss proportionate to area sold and the balance cost is carried over under Inventory as part of Development Work-in- Progress. Cost of construction/development includes all costs directly related to the Project and other expenditure as identified by the management which are reasonably allocable to the project.

Unbilled revenue disclosed under other non-current and other current assets represents revenue recognized over and above amount due as per payment plans agreed with the customers. Progress billings which exceed the costs and recognized profits to date on projects under construction are disclosed as advance received from customers under other current liabilities. Any billed amount that has not been collected is disclosed under trade receivables.

The estimates of saleable area and cost of construction are revised periodically by the management. The effect of such changes to estimates is recognised in the period such changes are determined. The estimated cost of construction as determined is based on management''s estimate of the cost expected to be incurred till the final completion and includes cost of materials, service and other related overheads. Unbilled costs are carried as real estate development work in progress.

Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project/ activity and the foreseeable losses to completion.

(e) Fixed assets

(a) Basis of accounting

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except for revaluation of certain freehold land on conversion to stock-in-trade, on an accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India, the accounting standards notified under section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 and the relevant provisions thereof.

The classification of assets and liabilities of the Company into current or non-current is based on the criterion specified in the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers/ dealers.

(d) Revenue from real estate activity

Revenue from real estate activity is recognised on the transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customers and it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration.

The freehold land under Real Estate Development planned for sale, is converted from fixed assets into stock-in-trade at market value. The difference between the market value and cost of that part of freehold land is credited to revaluation reserve.

Revenue from real estate development activity is recognised on the ''Percentage of Completion Method''. Revenue is recognised in relation to the sold areas, on the basis of percentage of cost incurred, including land, development and construction costs as against the total estimated cost of project. Revenue is recognised if the cost incurred is in excess of 25% of the total estimated cost and the outcome of the project can be reliably ascertained. The estimates of saleable area and cost of project are revised periodically by the management. The effect of such changes to estimates is recognised in the period such changes are determined. The estimated cost of project as determined, is based on management''s estimate of the cost expected to be incurred till the final completion and includes cost of materials, service and other related overheads. Unbilled costs are carried as real estate work in progress.

Determination of revenues under the percentage of completion method necessarily involves making estimates by the Company, some of which are of a technical nature, concerning, where relevant, the percentages of completion, costs to completion, the expected revenues from the project / activity and the foreseeable losses to completion.

(e) Fixed assets

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss, if any, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which impairment takes place.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, however subject to the increased carrying amount not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior accounting periods.

(h) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of ancillary costs, related to borrowings and foreign exchange to the extent they are regarded as adjustment to interest costs. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such asset till such time that the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis and are in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956 and comply with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the said Act.

(2) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the customers.

(3) Revenue from real estate activity

The freehold land under Real Estate Development planned for sale, is converted from fixed assets into stock-in-trade at market value. The difference between the market value and cost of that part of freehold land is credited to revaluation reserve. Revenue arising on sale of undivided interest in the underlying freehold land pertaining to flats, which are yet to be constructed, is being accounted when agreement for sale for such flats is entered into with a corresponding release from revaluation reserve.

Revenue from construction activity is recognised on the Percentage of Completion Method of accounting. Revenue is recognised in relation to the sold areas only, on the basis of percentage of actual cost incurred as against the total estimated cost of construction. Revenue is only recognised if the actual cost incurred is in excess of 25% of the total estimated cost. The estimates of saleable area and costs are revised periodically by the management. The effect of such changes to estimates is recognised in the period such changes are determined. The estimated cost of the construction as determined, is based on managements estimate of the cost expected to be incurred till the final completion and includes cost of materials, service and other related overheads.

(4) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost (net of cenvat credit wherever applicable) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost includes cost of acquisition, construction, erection, installation etc, preoperative expenses (including trial run) and borrowing costs incurred during pre-operational period. Also see Note 8 below.

(5) Depreciation

(a) Depreciation is provided on.fixed assets in a manner that amortises the cost of the assets after commissioning, over their estimated useful lives or, where specified, lives based on the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956, whichever is lower, on a straight line method on machinery and buildings and on a written down value method on other assets except in respect of assets of the DMT Plant and assets of retail shops including leasehold improvement.

(b) Hitherto, consequent to the recognition of impairment loss in an earlier year, depreciation on assets of the DMT plant was being provided at such rates that would fully depreciate, on a straight line method, the block of assets over its revised balance useful life, estimated at 7 years and 9 months from 1st April, 2004. Consequent to sale of DMT plant, certain balance assets of DMT plant were redeployed for PSF plant and now being depreciated at the rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 on a straight line method.

(c) Assets of retail shops including leasehold improvement are being depreciated over the period of six years.

(7) Impairment

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arms length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the cost of disposal.

An assessment is also done at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated. The carrying amount of the fixed assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, however, the same would be restricted to the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss, as applicable, the depreciation charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount less its residual value (if any), on a straight line basis over its remaining useful life.
