For all periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (IGAAP), including Accounting Standards (ASs) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 7 of Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, as amended, to the extent applicable.

The Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2018 are approved by the Board of Directors on May 24, 2018. These financial statements are the Company’s first Ind AS financial statements and are covered by Ind AS 101, First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards. An explanation of how the transition to Ind AS has affected the Company’s equity, financial position, financial performance and its cash flows is provided in Note 51

Current versus non-current classification:

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time taken between acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of the classification of assets and liabilities into current and non-current.

Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.

Basis of Measurement

The Ind AS Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost convention and on accrual method of accounting, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including financial instruments which have been measured at fair value as described below and defined benefit plans which have been measured on the basis of actuarial valuation as required by relevant Ind ASs.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements:

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively. Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, are included in the following notes:

(i) Determination of the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

(ii) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations, key actuarial assumptions.

(iii) Fair valuation of employee share options, key assumptions made with respect to expected volatility and dividend yield.

(iv) Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies, key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.

(v) Recognition of deferred tax assets.

(vi) Fair value of financial instruments.

(vii) Applicable discount rate.

Measurement of fair values

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the financial instruments to be measured at fair values.

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

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

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

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

C. Recent Accounting Developments

Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018, notifying Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers, Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration and amendments to certain other standards.

b. Appendix B to Ind AS 21 - Foreign Currency transactions and advance consideration:

If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then an entity must determine transaction date for each payment or receipts of advance consideration. The Group is currently evaluating the effect of the above amendments.

b) Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note (a) above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in an active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

c) Measurement of Fair Value

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount 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. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values are consistent in all the years. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(i) The fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (‘NAV’) as stated by the issuers of mutual funds. Net asset values represent the price at which the issuer will issue further units in the mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.

(ii) The Management assesses that fair values of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, trade payables, current borrowings, other current liabilities and other financial liabilities (current), approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

(iii) The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amount would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

d) Risk Management Framework

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. Market risks comprise currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company’s Senior Management and Key Management Personnel have the ultimate responsibility for managing these risks. The Management has a process to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and to control and to monitor risks and adherence to these limits. Risk Management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and Company’s activities. Further, Audit Committee undertakes regular reviews of Risk Management Controls and Procedures.

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (trade receivables) and from its financing activities including investments in mutual funds, deposits with banks and financial institutions and financial instruments.

Trade Receivables

Credit risk from trade receivables is managed by establishing credit limits, credit approvals and monitoring creditworthiness of the customers. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. The Company has computed credit loss allowances based on Expected Credit Loss Model, which excludes transactions with subsidiaries.

The ageing of trade receivables is as follows:

Investments in Mutual Funds, Term Deposits and Bank Balances

The Company’s exposure in term deposits with banks and investments in Mutual Funds is limited, as the counterparties are highly rated banks and financial institutions.

(ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses.

The following tables detailed the Company’s remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities as at the reporting date with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The amounts included above for financial guarantee contracts are the maximum amounts the Company could be forced to settle under the arrangement for the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee. Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the Company considers that it is more likely than not that such an amount will not be payable under the arrangement.

(iii) Currency Risk

The Company’s operations result in it being exposed to foreign currency risk on account of trade receivables, trade payables, borrowings and lendings. The foreign currency risk may affect the Company’s income and expenses, or its financial position and cash flows. The objective of the Company’s Management of foreign currency risk is to maintain these risk within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns.

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR (in lakhs), is as follows:

Sensitivity for above exposures

A fluctuation in the exchange rates of 5% with other conditions remaining unchanged would have the following effect on Company’s profit or loss before tax and equity as at 31st March 2018 and 31st March 2017:

(iv) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to risk of change in market interest rates relates primarily to its borrowings. The Company’s borrowings are at floating rates and its future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rate would have resulted in variation in the interest expense for the Company by the amounts indicated in the table below. This calculation assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The year end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

26 Capital Management

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maintain an efficient capital structure and to maximise shareholder’s value. The Management seeks to maintain a balance between higher returns that is achieved by raising funds through equity and the advantages by a sound capital position.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of ‘Net Debt to Equity’. For this purpose, Capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. Net Debt is defined as total borrowings less cash & bank balances and other current investments.

The Company’s Net Debt to Equity ratios are as follows:

1 Capitalisation of borrowing costs on qualifying asset

Borrowing costs incurred towards qualifying asset have been capitalised to capital Work-in-Progress.

2 Recognition of investment property

Under Indian GAAP, there was no requirement to present investment property separately and the same was included under property, plant and equipment. Under Ind AS, investment property is required to be presented separately in the balance sheet. Accordingly, the carrying value of investment property as at April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017 under Indian GAAP has been reclassified to a separate line item in Balance Sheet.

3 Discounting of Financial Assets

Under IGAAP, interest free rent deposits given was carried at cost. Under Ind AS, such interest free deposit are measured at fair value . Difference between fair value and deposit amount is recognised as “Deferred Lease Expense” at initial recognition and amortised over the period of lease on straight line basis. Deposit is measured at amortised cost subsequently by recognising interest income.

4 Fair valuation of Investments

Under IGAAP, current investments were measured at lower of cost or NRV (Net Realisable Value). Under Ind AS, these financial assets have been classified as FVTPL investments. Ind AS requires such investments to be measured at fair value.

5 Bills of exchange discounted with banks

Under IGAAP, trade receivables derecognised by way of bills of exchange were shown as contingent liability since there is a recourse clause. Under Ind AS, the trade receivables have been restated with corresponding recognition of short term borrowings.

6 Impairment of Trade Receivables

Under IGAAP, the Company has created provision for impairment of receivables based on provision matrix. Under Ind AS, the impairment allowance has been determined based on Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model.

7 Proposed Dividend

Under IGAAP, proposed dividends including Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) are recognised as a liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared. Under Ind AS, proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the Company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.

8 Revenue

Under IGAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented excluding excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products is presented inclusive of excise duty. Excise duty is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of expenses.

9 Re-measurement of Employee Defined Benefit Plans

Under IGAAP, re-measurement of defined benefit plans (gratuity), arising primarily due to change in actuarial assumptions was recognised as employee benefit expenses in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, such re-measurement of defined benefit plans, along with related tax effects are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

10 Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)

Under IGAAP, intrinsic value of employee stock option plan was recognised as expense over the vesting period. Under Ind AS, the compensation cost of employee stock option plan is recognised based on the fair value of options determined using an appropriate pricing model at the date of grant. Further, employee stock options granted to employees of subsidiary have also been recognised as an investment based on the fair value of options granted to them.

11 Impact on Cash Flow

The transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS has no material impact on the statement of cash flow except bank overdraft which has been considered as part of cash and cash equivalents.

12 Deferred Taxes on Ind AS adjustments

IGAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of the balance sheet approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under IGAAP. In addition, various transitional adjustments led to temporary differences. The Company has accounted for such differences.

13 Financial guarantees

Under Ind AS, the Company has recognised fair value of financial guarantees provided to its subsidiary companies. The fair value of such financial guarantee has been recognised as additional investment in subsidiaries. The financial guarantee to subsidiaries are amortised over the tenure of loan. The impact of amortisation of fair value of financial guarantee has been recognised under Other Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
