SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Property, Plant and Equipment:

property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing
cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
the 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. All other repair
and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives) :

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written-down value, computed on the basis of useful
lives (as set out below) prescribed in Schedule II the Act:

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.

Material items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and service equipment are classified as PPE when they meet the
definition of PPE as specified in Ind AS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment.

After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.

De-recognition

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included
in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

b) Intangible Assets :

computer software acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price (net of
tax/duty credits availed wherever applicable) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to its working
condition for its intended use.

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for finite-life intangible assets is reviewed at each financial
year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.

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

c) Investment Properties :

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by
the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured at its cost, including related
transaction costs. and impairment if any.

d) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal/external factors,
that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of
the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which
the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and
the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. All assets
are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist.
An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying
amount.

The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in statement of profit and loss.

e) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures:

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures 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, associates and joint venture, the
difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and
Loss.

f) Financial instruments
Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case of Financial assets which are recognised
at fair value through other comprehensive Income (FVOCI), its transaction cost are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.

Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at :

• amortised cost.

• fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

• fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

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.

Mutual Funds, Equity investment, bonds and other financial instruments :

Mutual Funds, Equity Investment, bonds and other financial instruments are initially 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 Company’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.

ii) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):

Mutual Funds, Equity investment, bonds and other financial instruments in the scope of Ind As 109 are measured at
fair value through profit and loss account( FVOCI).

iii) Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):

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.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and transaction cost that is attributable to the acquisition of
the financial liabilities is also adjusted. These liabilities are classified as amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
These liabilities include borrowings.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the
de- recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying
amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

g) Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss for financial assets.

ECL is the 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. 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

Trade receivables

The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS 109, financial instruments, which requires expected lifetime
losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables.

Other financial assets

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased
significantly, impairment loss is provided

h) Inventories

Raw Material: Lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on first in first out (‘FIFO’) basis.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods comprises direct material, cost of conversion and
other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition. Trading goods are valued
at Cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.

Finished goods: Lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on FIFO basis, includes direct material
and labour expenses and appropriate proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal capacity for
manufactured goods.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs of necessary to make the sale.

Inventories of cut and polished diamonds are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower based on the
valuation report obtained from Government approved Valuer.

i) Foreign Currency Translation
Initial recognition

The Company’s financial statements are presented in Rupees, which is also the Company’s functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transaction.

Measurement at the balance sheet date

Foreign currency monetary items of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at the year-end
rates. Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency
are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.

Treatment of exchange difference

Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the
Company’s monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they
arise.

j) Income taxes :

Tax expense recognised in statement of profit and loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not
recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’) or directly in equity.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised in correlation
to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken
in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and
establishes provisions where appropriate. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are
enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Deferred income-tax is calculated using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised in full
for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the
underlying tax loss, unused tax credits or deductible temporary difference will be utilised against future taxable
income. This is assessed based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non¬
taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. Deferred tax assets or
liability arising during tax holiday period is not recognised to the extent it reverses out within the tax holiday period.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that
it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is
recognised outside statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity).

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits with banks/corporations and short-term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.

l) Post-employment, long term and short term employee benefits
Defined contribution plans

Provident fund benefit is a defined contribution plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into funds
established under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The Company has no
legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after payment of the fixed contribution.

Defined benefit plans

Gratuity is a post-employment benefit defined under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and is in the nature of a
defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the financial statements in respect of gratuity is the present value
of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains
or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/obligation is calculated at or near the reporting date by an
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited or
charged to the statement of OCI in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

Other long-term employee benefits

Liability in respect of compensated absences is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged to
statement of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

Other Short-term employee benefits

Expense in respect of other short term benefits is recognised on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the
period during which services are rendered by the employee.

m) Business Combinations and Goodwill

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The Company
measures goodwill as of the acquisition date at the difference of the fair value consideration transferred (including
fair value of previously held interest and contingent consideration) less the net fair value of the identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed. When such difference results into deficit, the
excess is recognised in equity as capital reserve.

Business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is accounted for using the pooling of
interest method. Under pooling of interest method, the assets and liabilities of combining entities are reflected at
their carrying amount and no adjustments are made to reflect fair values.

Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

n) Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or as incurred.

o) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisitions, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

p) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• ln the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• ln the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Property, Plant and Equipment:

property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost of acquisition. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing cost if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the 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. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Subsequent measurement (depreciation and useful lives) :

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on written-down value, computed on the basis of useful lives (as set out below) prescribed in Schedule II the Act:

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for finite-life intangible assets is reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Leasehold improvements have been amortised over the estimated useful life of the assets or the period of lease, whichever is lower. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

De-recognition

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per the provisions of previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of property, plant and equipment.

b) Leased Assets :

Company as a lessee :

Operating Leases :

Assets acquired on leases where a significant portion of risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease rental are charged to statement of profit and loss on straight line basis, except where scheduled increase in rent compensate the lessor for epected inflationery costs.

c) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal/external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

The impairrment losses and reversals are recognised in statement of profit and loss.

d) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures:

I nvestments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures 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, associates and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

e) Financial instruments

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Subsequent measurement

On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value, in case of Financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction cost are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.

Financial assets are subsequently classified as measured at

- amortised cost.

- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

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.

Mutual Funds, Equity investment, bonds and other financial instruments :

Mutual Funds, Equity investment, bonds and other financial instruments in the scope of Ind As 109 are measured at fair value through profit and loss account( FVTPL).

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and transaction cost that is attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities is also adjusted. These liabilities are classified as amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. These liabilities include borrowings.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de- recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

f) Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss for financial assets.

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

Trade receivables

The Company applies approach permitted by Ind AS 109, financial instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables.

Other financial assets

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition and if credit risk has increased significantly, impairment loss is provided.

g) Inventories

Raw Material: Lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on first in first out (‘FIFO’) basis.

Work in progress, manufactured finished goods and traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of work in progress and manufactured finished goods comprises direct material, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing these inventories to their present location and condition.

Treatment of exchange difference

Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company’s monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.

i) Income taxes :

Tax expense recognised in statement of profit and loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (‘OCI’) or directly in equity.

Current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income-tax Act. Current income-tax relating to items recognised outside statement of profit and loss is recognised outside statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity).

Deferred income-tax is calculated using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised in full for all taxable temporary differences.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, demand deposits with banks/corporations and short- term highly liquid investments (original maturity less than 3 months) that are readily convertible into known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

k) Post-employment, long term and short term employee benefits

Defined contribution plans

Provident fund benefit is a defined contribution plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into funds established under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after payment of the fixed contribution.

Defined benefit plans

Gratuity is a post-employment benefit defined under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the financial statements in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit/obligation is calculated at or near the reporting date by an independent actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited or charged to the statement of OCI in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

Other long-term employee benefits

Liability in respect of compensated absences is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged to statement of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses are determined

Short-term employee benefits

Expense in respect of other short term benefits is recognised on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee.

l) Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or as incurred.

m) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisitions, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

n) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, at fair value at each balance sheet date.

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- ln the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- ln the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

o) Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised only when there is a present obligation, as a result of past events, and when a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

Contingent liability is disclosed for:

- Possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or

- Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized. However, when inflow of economic benefit is probable, related asset is disclosed.

p) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

q) Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the related disclosures.

Significant management judgements and estimates

The following are significant management judgements and estimates in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.

Recognition of deferred tax assets - The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets - The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.

Recoverability of advances/receivables - At each balance sheet date, based on historical default rates observed over expected life, the management assesses the expected credit loss on outstanding receivables and advances.

Defined benefit obligation (DBO) - Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

Fair value measurements - Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument. Management uses the best information available. Estimated fair values may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date

Useful lives of depreciable/amortizable assets - Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable/amortizable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence.

r) Revenue recognition

Sales of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of risk and rewards of ownership of goods to the buyer and when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived. Domestic sales are accounted on dispatch of products to customers and Export sales (Net of Returns) are accounted on the basis of dates of Airway Bills. Domestic Sales are disclosed net of Value Added Tax / Goods and Service tax and returns as applicable.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

Dividend

Dividends are recognised at the time the right to receive the payment is established. s) Operating Segment

The managing committee is considered to be the ‘Chief Operating Decision Maker’ (CODM) as defined in IND AS 108. The Operating Segment is the level at which discrete financial information is available. The CODM allocates resources and assess performance at this level. The group has identified the below operating segments:

a) Jewellery Manufacturing Activity.

b) Investment Activity.


Mar 31, 2016

A) BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS :

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting and comply with other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Accounting Standard prescribed under section 133 of The Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014 to the extent applicable. The Financial Statements have been prepared under historical cost convention on an accrual basis except in case of assets for which provision for impairment is made. Accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year.

B) USE OF ESTIMATES :

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the year. Although these estimates are based upon management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialized.

C) FIXED ASSETS:

I) Tangible Assets :

Fixed Assets are stated at cost (Net of VAT wherever applicable) less accumulated depreciation and impairments, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable costs of brining the asset to its working condition for intended use. They are stated at historical cost.

ii) Intangible Assets :

Intangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition net of recoverable taxes less accumulated amortization /depletion and impairment loss, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, and any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.

iii) Capital work in progress is stated at the amount expended up to the date of Balance sheet.

D) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS :

i) At each Balance Sheet date, the Company determines whether a provision should be made for impairment loss on fixed assets by considering the indications that an impairment loss may have occurred in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS)-28 "Impairment of Assets".

ii) After Impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets.

iii) A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if no impairment loss had been recognized.

E) DEPRECIATION:

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

Income Tax expense comprises current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the year determined in accordance with the Income tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit.

Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period. The deferred tax charge or credit and corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised- using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are written-down or written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

Provision for Fringe Benefit tax for the year has been determined in accordance with the provision of section 115WC of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
