Market Risks arise due to Changes in Interest rates, Foreign Exchange rates and changes in Market prices.
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 rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market rates relates primarily to the Company''s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Company''s policy is generally to undertake long-term borrowings using facilities that carry floating-interest rate. The Company manages its interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.
Moreover, the short-term borrowings of the Company do not have a significant fair value or cash flow interest rate risk due to their short tenure.
As the Company does not have exposure to any floating-interest bearing assets its interest income and related cash inflows are not materially affected by changes in market interest rates.
No sensitivity analysis is prepared as the Company does not expect any material effect on the Company''s results arising from the effects of reasonably possible changes to interest rates on interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposures in US$ and Euro.

Therefore, fluctuations in the price and availability of raw materials may affect the Company''s business and results of operations. To mitigate this the Company has a risk management strategy in place wherein the senior management reviews the supply chain scenarios, commodity prices and supplier contracts periodically to avoid material impact on profitability of the company.
Credit Risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. It arises from credit exposure to customers, financial instruments viz., Investments in Equity Shares and Balances with Banks.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with banks which are having highest safety rankings and hence has a low credit risk.
The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits (generally between 30 to 90 days) and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The outstanding trade receivables due for a period exceeding 180 days as at the year ended March 31, 2023 is 0.39% (P.Y. 0.18%) of the total trade receivables. The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model to assess the impairment loss or gain.

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the underlying transactions and firm commitments. The Company does not enter into any Derivative Instruments for trading and Speculation purposes.
(iii) Market Price Risks
The Company is affected by the price stability of certain commodities. Purchases of Raw Materials from our top 2 suppliers constitute approximately 39.09% of our total purchases made from all suppliers. We do not enter into supplier contracts for duration of period of more than 3-6 months. If suppliers do not supply us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify alternative suppliers in future at similar cost. Any disruption in the supply of the raw materials could disrupt our manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company''s total imports of raw materials is approximately 31.00% (P.Y.: 26.29%) of the total raw material consumed. The cost of our imported raw material affected by the fluctuation in the rate of foreign exchange of the currency in which we purchase these raw materials (primarily in US$) and the Rupee.The Company has a risk Management framework aimed at prudently managing the price risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs and tries to pass on increases in the costs to its customers to whatever extent possible.
2) Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. It arises from credit exposure to customers, financial instruments viz., Investments in Equity Shares and Balances with Banks.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with banks which are having highest safety rankings and hence has a low credit risk.
The Company''s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits (generally between 30 to 90 days) and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The outstanding trade receivables due for a period exceeding 180 days as at the year ended March 31, 2022 is 0.18% (P.Y. 0.57%) of the total trade receivables. The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model to assess the impairment loss or gain.
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate surplus, banking facilities and reserve borrowings facilities by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows.
The Company has obtained fund based borrowings from banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry low credit risks.
All payments are made on due dates and requests for early payments are entertained after due approval and availing early payment discounts.
The Company has a system of forecasting rolling one month cash inflow and outflow and all liquidity requirements are planned.

2. Basis OF pREpARATION:
2.1 Statement of compliance
The accompanying standalone Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendment) Rules, 2017 notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, (the âActâ) and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The Companyâs standalone Financial Statements up to and for the year ended 31st March, 2017 were prepared in accordance with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 notified under the section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other relevant provisions of the Act.
These Financial Statements are the first standalone Financial Statements of the Company under Ind AS. Previous period numbers for the year ended 31st March, 2017 in the Financial Statements have been restated to confirm to Ind AS. Accordingly, the date of transition to Ind AS is 1st April, 2016.
As these are the Companyâs first standalone Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS, Ind AS 101, âFirst-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standardsâ has been applied. An explanation of how the transition to Ind AS has affected the previously reported Financial position, Financial performance and cash flows of the Company is provided in Note no. 51.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
These standalone Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is also the Companyâs functional currency. All amounts have been reported in â, unless otherwise indicated.
2.3 basis of measurement
The standalone Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
- certain Financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) that are measured at fair value; and
- net defined benefit assets/ liabilities that are measured at fair value of plan assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
2.4 use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the standalone Financial Statements in accordance with Ind AS requires use of judgements, estimates and assumptions, which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the year ended 31st March, 2018 are as follows:
a) property, plant and equipment
Useful lives of tangible assets are based on the life prescribed in Schedule II of the Act, which in the opinion of the Management represent the useful lives as they are based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturerâs warranties and maintenance support
b) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations
The obligation arising from defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions. Key actuarial assumptions include discount rate, trends in salary escalation, actuarial rates and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. The period to maturity of the underlying bonds correspond to the probable maturity of the post-employment benefit obligations.
c) Recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax base, and unutilised business loss and depreciation carry-forward and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, depreciation carryforward and unused tax credits could be utilised.
d) contingent Liabilities, commitments and Litigations
contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal and other claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of each being always subject to many uncertainties inherent in litigation. A provision for litigation is made when it is considered probable that a payment will be made and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgement is made when evaluating, among other factors, the probability of unfavourable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss. Litigation provisions are reviewed at each accounting period and revisions made for the changes in facts and circumstances.
2.5 measurement of fair values
The Companyâs accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both Financial and non-Financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values, which includes overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values by the Management. 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 conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
When measuring the fair value of a Financial asset or a Financial liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. 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 or 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.
2.6 Operating cycle
An operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
Based on the nature of services and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current - non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.7 Current / Non-current classification
An entity shall classify an asset as current when:
a) It expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
b) It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
c) It expects to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
d) the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
An entity shall classify all other assets as non-current.

A] Defined Contribution Plans
The Company makes contributions towards provident fund and other retirement benefits to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan for qualifying employees. Under the plan, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit plan to fund the benefit.
Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans, recognised as expense for the year is as under:
B] Defined Benefits Plans
The Company has used the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) actuarial method to assess the Planâs liabilities, including those related to death-in-service benefits. Under the PUC method, a âProjected accrued benefitâ is calculated at the beginning of the year and again at the end of the year for each benefit that will accrue for all active members of the plan. The âprojected accrued benefitâ is based on the Planâs accrual formula and upon the service as at the beginning or end of the year, but using a memberâs final compensation, projected to the age at which the employee is assumed to leave active service. The Plan Liability is the actuarial present value of the âprojected accrued benefitsâ as at the end of the year for the Planâs active members.
(vii) Sensitivity Analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The results of Sensitivity Analysis is given below:
(ix) Risk Factors
Through its gratuity plans the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below. Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, In case of gratuity plan this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the planâs assets.
Longevity risk
The present value of Gratuity plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the Gratuity plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
Investment risk
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets, the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability. In such cases, the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate. This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.

NOTE 26 - FINANciAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
A) capital Management
Capital comprises of Issued Equity Share Capital and Reserves attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Company. The Company borrows capital only for Working Capital purposes. The primary objective of the Companyâs Capital Management is to maximise the Share Holder Value. There are no externally imposed capital requirements. The Company allocates its capital for distribution as dividend or re-investment into business based on its long term financial plans.
B) Financial Risk Management
The Companyâs activities primarily expose it to various risks such as Market Risks, Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk. Those are explained below :
i) Market Risk
Market Risks arise due to Changes in Interest rates, Foreign Exchange rates and changes in Market prices. These are explained below :
Interest Rate Risks
The Company borrows funds in Indian Rupees, to meet short term funding requirements. Interest on Short term borrowings is subject to floating interest rate and are repriced regularly and hence the Company is exposed to Interest rate risks. However, since the borrowings are not significant, the Company does not see any major risk.
If the interest rates had been 1% higher / lower and all other variables held constant, impact on the Companyâs profit for the year ended 31st March, 2018 will not be significant.
Foreign currency Risks
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposures in USD and Euro.
a) Exposure in foreign currency - Hedged
The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the underlying transactions and firm commitments. The Company does not enter into any Derivative Instruments for trading and Speculation purposes.
The Forward Exchange Contracts used for hedging foreign exchange currency exposure and outstanding as at reporting date as at under :
Price Risks
The Company is affected by the price stability of certain commodities. Purchases of Raw Materials from our top 2 suppliers constitute approximately 45% of our total purchases made from all suppliers. We do not enter into supplier contracts of duration of more than 6 months. If suppliers do not supply us, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify alternative suppliers in future at similar cost. Any disruption in the supply of the raw materials could disrupt our manufacturing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Companyâs total imports of raw materials is approximately 27.97% of the total raw material consumed. The cost of our imported raw material affected by the fluctuation in the rate of foreign exchange of the currency in which we purchase these raw materials (primarily in USD) and the Rupee. The Company has a risk management framework aimed at prudently managing the price risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs and tries to pass on increases in the costs to its customers to whatever extent possible..
ii) credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. It arises from credit exposure to customers, financial instruments viz., Investments in Equity Shares and Balances with Banks.
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents with banks which are having highest safety rankings and hence has a low credit risk.
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits (generally between 30 to 90 days) and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The outstanding trade receivables due for a period exceeding 180 days as at the year ended 31st March, 2018 is 0.29% of the total trade receivables. The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model to assess the impairment loss or gain.
iii) Liquidity Risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate surplus, banking facilities and reserve borrowings facilities by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows.
The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from two banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit which carry low credit risks.
All payments are made on due dates and requests for early payments are entertained after due approval and availing early payment discounts.
The Company has a system of forecasting rolling one month cash inflow and outflow and all liquidity requirements are planned. Exposure to liquidity risk:
The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments
NOTE 27 - FIRST Time ADOpTION OF IND AS
These are the Companyâs first standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in Note no. 3 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2017 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1st April, 2016 (the Companyâs date of transition).
In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standard Rules), 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has impacted the Companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
Note 27.1 - Exemptions and exceptions availed
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
Ind AS optional exemptions
a) Deemed cost
Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to elect to measure an item of property, plant and equipment at the date of transition to Ind AS at its fair value and use that fair value as its deemed cost at that date. The exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 âIntangible Assetsâ.
b) Designation of previously recognised equity instruments
Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS.

c) Investments in subsidiaries
Ind AS 101 permits a first time adopter to elect to measure its investment in subsidiaries at fair value of such investments at the Companyâs date of transition to Ind AS or previous GAAP carrying amount at that date and use that as its deemed cost as on the date of transition.
The Company has decided not to measure its investment in subsidiaries at fair value and accordingly investment in Fine Organics (USA) Inc. & Fine Organics Europe BVBA are valued at cost as at 1st April, 2016.
d) Exchange differences on long-term foreign currency monetary items
Under previous GAAP exchange differences arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency monetary items (i) relating to acquisition of depreciable capital assets were allowed to be adjusted to the carrying amount of such assets (to be adjusted over the balance life of the related asset) and (ii) in other cases were allowed to be accumulated in a âForeign Currency Monetary item Translation Difference Accountâ (to be adjusted over the balance period of the related long term monetary asset/ liability).
Ind AS 101 includes an optional exemption that allows a first time adopter to continue with the above accounting policy in respect of long-term foreign currency monetary items recognised in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of first Ind AS financial reporting period i.e. 1st April, 2017 or to discontinue with such policy.
Ind AS mandatory exceptions
a) Estimates
An entityâs estimates in accordance with Ind ASs at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1st April, 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made inconformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP.
- Investments in equity instruments carried at FVPL and OCI
- Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model
b) Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has assessed the same accordingly.
Reconciliations between previous GAAp and Ind AS
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
Note 27.3 - Working note for first time adoption to Ind AS
A) Fair Value of Investment in Equity Instruments other than subsidiaries and joint ventures
Under the previous GAAP the application of the relevant accounting standard resulted in all these investment being carried at cost
Under Ind AS, financial assets representing investment in equity shares of entities other than subsidiaries, associates and joint venture as well as debt securities have been fair valued. The Company has recognised investment in equity shares of The Saraswat Co-operative bank at fair value based on the data available. The Company has designated the investment in at FVOCI because this equity shares represents investment that Company intends to hold for long term.
This result as increase in investment of equity instruments of Saraswat Co-Operative Bank Limited by Rs.4.83 lakhs and accordingly Other Comprehensive income recorded as at 1st April, 2016 i.e. On transition date.
Further, such investment of equity instruments has increased by Rs.0.08 lakhs and accordingly Other Comprehensive income recorded for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
The Company has kept fair value of investment in equity instruments of Saraswat Co-Operative Bank Limited as Rs.5.15 lakhs (Same as 31st March, 2017) due to non availability of the latest audited balance sheet.
B) Proposed Dividend
Under previous IGAAP dividend proposed by the Board of Directors after the reporting date but before the approval of financial statement were considered to be adjusting event as per AS 4 and accordingly recognised as liability at the reporting date (along with DDT).
As per Para 12 of the Ind AS 10 âEvents after reporting periodâ, if an entity declares dividends to holders of equity instruments (as defined in Ind AS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation) after the reporting period, the entity shall not recognise those dividends as a liability at the end of the reporting period.
As per Para 13 of the Ind AS 10 âEvents after reporting periodâ, If dividends are declared after the reporting period but before the financial statements are approved for issue, the dividends are not recognised as a liability at the end of the reporting period because no obligation exists at that time. Such dividends are disclosed in the notes in accordance with Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.
From the above explanation dividend so proposed by the Board of Directors are considered to be non-adjusting event. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend and DDT recognised under previous IGAAP has been reversed.
Consequently, the Company has reversed Rs.2,767.62 lakhs from retained earning and current provision for the year 31st March, 2017.
Subsequently, the Company has recorded and paid the dividend in the year ended 31st March, 2018.
c) Excise Duty
Under previous IGAAP revenue from sale of goods was presented net off Excise duty on sales.
As per Para 8 of Ind AS 18 âRevenueâ, Revenue includes only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the entity on its own account. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes, goods and services taxes and value added taxes are not economic benefits which flow to the entity and do not result in increases in equity. Therefore, they are excluded from revenue.
From the above explanation it is concluded that the revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of Excise duty since Excise duty is payable at the time of manufacturing and the same is collected on behalf of third party and therefore the same is presented in the statement of profit and loss as an expense.
This has resulted in an increase in revenue from operations and expenses for the year. Total comprehensive income for the year ended and equity as at 31st March, 2017 has remained unchanged.
Accordingly, excise duty of Rs.3,673.47 lakhs has been added to Revenue from operation for the year ended 31st March, 2017 and excise duty separately disclosed as expenses in statement of profit and loss.
D) Trade Receivables
As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance on trade receivable. As a result, the allowance for expected credit loss was recognised amounting to Rs.199.32 lakhs as at 31st March, 2017 (1st April, 2016 - Rs.180.52 lakhs) and consequently, total equity as at 31st March, 2017 and 1st April, 2016 decreased by an equivalent amount. The profit for the year ended 31st March, 2017 decreased by Rs.18.80 lakhs for allowance for expected credit loss on trade receivable as compare to 1st April, 2016.
E) Leasehold Land
As per Ind AS 17, the premium paid on leasehold land which is in the nature of an operating lease is considered as prepayment of lease charges and same is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of lease. This resulted in increase of lease rental expense and decrease in depreciation for 31st March, 2017 by Rs.25.07 lakhs Further, reclassification of leasehold land has been done from âProperty, Plant & Equipmentsâ to âOther Non Current Assetsâ under the head of âPrepaid Rent on Leasehold Landâ. Further, lease rent for 1 year is classified as âOther Current Assetâ under the head of Prepaid Expenses. Earlier, Under AS -19 on âLeasesâ, leasehold Land was excluded and hence not classified accordingly.
In the process of transition to Ind AS, lease period and balance value was recalculated and Rs.1.96 lakhs has been credited to retained earning as depreciation on leasehold land was excess charged in IGAAP.
F) Interest free advances to Subsidiaries
Under the previous GAAP interest free advances to subsidiaries were recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS 109, all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these advances. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the advances has been recognised as increased in Investment in subsidiaries.
Consequent to this change, the amount of advances decreased and Investment in subsidiaries increased by Rs.284.55 lakhs as at 31st March, 2017 (1st April, 2016 Rs.105.02 lakhs). The profit for the year and total equity as at 31st March, 2017 increased by 35.64 lakhs due to the notional interest income and simultaneously, advances to subsidiaries were increased by same amounts. (In 1st April, 2016, such interest income adjusted in retained earning by increasing Rs.30.19 lakhs)
G) Remeasurement of Defined Benefit Plans
Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements comprising of actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI. Thus, the employee benefit cost for 31st March, 2017 is reduced by Rs.31.97 lakhs and remeasurement gains/ losses on defined benefit plans has been recognised in the OCI net of tax.
H) Expenses Directly Attributable to Sales
Under previous GAAP expenses directly attributable to sales were recognised as an expense. Under Ind AS 18, such expenses are presented under revenue from sale of goods.
Accordingly, the Company has shown sales commission of Rs.860.49 lakhs is disclosed under the head of sale of goods for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
I) Premium on Forward contract hedging
Under previous GAAP premium / discount on forward contract for hedging of trade receivables was amortised over a period of the contract and accordingly Company had amortised Rs.17.77 lakhs premium for the year ended 31st March, 2017.
However, as per Ind AS 109 - âFinancial Instrumentsâ forward contracts needs to be recognised at fair value as on the date of balance sheet and accordingly Company has revalued outstanding forward contracts as on 31st March, 2017 and reversed the existing amortisation of premium of Rs.17.77 lakhs
J) Security Deposits and Interest income on Security Deposits
The Company has paid interest free security deposits for factory premises to Associate firm of Rs.18.00 lakhs As per Indian GAAP the Company has recognised the security deposit under other non-current assets. As per Ind AS 109,
(i) the security deposits are to be recognised at fair value,
(ii) interest income on such security deposits are to be recognised through effective interest method and
(iii) lease expense to be amortised over the period of lease on a straight line basis.
Accordingly, the Company has recognised the security deposit at present value using the market rate of interest and the difference between the transaction value and fair value of the deposit amount is shown as prepaid rent. This has resulted in decrease of security deposits and increase of non-current and current prepaid rent expenses as at 31st March, 2018 by Rs.5.19 lakhs
Further, as per Ind AS 109, the Company has to recognise interest income on such security deposits through effective interest method and the excess of the principal amount of the deposit over its fair value is accounted for as prepaid rent expense and amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the Company has recognised income on such security deposits through effective interest method and amortised the lease expenses over the period of lease on a straight line basis.
