2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. BASIS OF PREPARATION:

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value amount:

i) Defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value

ii) Biological assets - measured at fair value less cost to sell

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared to comply with the Indian Accounting Standards ('Ind AS'), including the rules notified under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Upto the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirement of Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and considered as "Previous GAAP"

These financial statements are the Companys' first Ind AS standalone financial statements.

b. USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Difference between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/ materialised.

c. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated cost can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control or managerial involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Sale of goods is recorded net of returns, Trade Discounts, Rebates, VAT/Sales Tax, Service Tax, Goods and Service Tax but inclusive excise duty.

Revenue from services are recognised as the related services are performed.

Interest income primarily comprises of interest from term deposits with banks and on loans to subsidiary companies. Interest income is recorded using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.

d. PROPERTY PLANT & EQUIPMENTS :

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairement losses. The cost of Property, Plant and Equipment comprises of its purchase price, non-refundable taxes & levies, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipment is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred except for high values which are capitalised.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of Property, Plant and Equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.

Capital assets under erection/installation are stated at cost in the Balance Sheet as "Capital Work-in-Progress".

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each reporting date is disclosed as capital advances under other non current assets. The cost of property, plant and equipment not ready to use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. Assets not ready for use are not depreciated.

Transition to Ind AS

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

e. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalised only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate.

Transition to Ind AS

On transiiton to Ind AS, the group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as at 1 April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the intangible assets.

f. DEPRECIATION / AMORTISATION :

Depreciation on Fixed Assets is provided on Straight Line method (SLM) method based on useful life of the assets as prescribed under Part-C of Schedule II to the companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in Schedule II are used. The Management estimates the useful lives for such fixed assets as under:-

Particulars

Estimated Useful Life

Furniture & Fixtures

Over a Period of 9 Years

Vehicles

Over a Period of 8 Years

Plants Machineries, Equipments, Electrical Installation & Utilities

Over a Period of 9 Years

Office Building

Over a Period of 30 Years

g. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSET-Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets:

The Company assesses at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that any Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets or group of Assets, called Cash Generating Units (CGU) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to determine the extent of impairment, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent, assets' carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of an assets' fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risk specific to the assets.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at year end and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGU's) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill are not reversed in future periods.

h. INVESTMENTS:

Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

Investments in buildings that are not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of the Company, have been classified as investment properties. Investment properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

i. INVENTORIES:

Inventories include raw materials, bought out components, work-in-progress and manufactured finished goods.

Finished products:

Finished products produced by the Company are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour, a proportion of manufacturing overheads.

Work in Progress:

Work in Progress is valued at cost of direct materials, labour and other Manufacturing overheads up to estimated stage of process.

Raw materials and stores and spares:

Raw materials and stores and spares are valued at Lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. The cost is determined using First in First out (FIFO) method.

j. BORROWING COSTS:

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisitions or construction of fixed assets/ qualifying assets for expansion/new project are capitalised to respective fixed assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are charged to revenue in the year in which they are incurred.

k. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:

i Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the time of transaction.

ii Monetary items representing assets and

liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at rates prevailing on balance sheet date.

iii Investments in equity capital of company registered outside India are carried in the Balance Sheet at the rates prevailing on the date of transaction.

iv Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Exchange differences arising as a result of the above are recognised as income or expenses in the statement of profit and loss. Exchange difference arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or expenses in the year in which they arise.

l. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

Revenue expenditure on Research and Development is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year in which it is incurred. Capital expenditure on Research and Development is shown as an addition to the fixed assets and is depreciated on the same basis as other fixed assets.

m. PROVISION FOR RETIREMENT BENEFITS:

(i) Short-Term Employee Benefits:

The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised as an expense during the period when the employees render the services.

(ii) Post- employment benefit plans:

a) Defined Contribution Plan:

Contribution for provident fund are accrued in accordance with applicable Statutes and deposited with the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner.

b) Defined Benefit Plan:

The Company operates two defined benefit plans for its employees, viz., Gratuity and Leave Encashment. The costs of providing benefits under these plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Actuarial valuation is carried out for using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit plan is recognised in full in the period in which they occur.

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 in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

n. EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

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

o. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and balance at bank including fixed deposits with an original maturity period of less than three months and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

(i) Financial Asset:

(a) Classification:

On initial recognition the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

(b) Initial recognition and measurement:

All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

(c) Financial assets at amortised cost:

A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

1) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

2) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Financial assets included within the fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognised.

(d) Derecognition:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the groups' financial statements) when:

The rights to receive cash flows from The asset have expired, or

The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:

(i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

(ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Companys' continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

(e) 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 on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

(i) financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, and bank balance.

(ii) trade receivables:

The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

(ii) Financial Liabilities:

(a) Classification:

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(b) Initial recognition and measurement:

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, at amortised cost (loans and borrowings, and payables), or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Companys' financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.

(c) Loans and borrowings:

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

(d) Derecognition:

A financial liability is derecognised 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 derecognition 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.

q. TAXATION:

i. Current Tax:

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

ii. Deferred Tax Provision:

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of deferred tax liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

iii. Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT):

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India which gives rise to future economic benefit in the form of MAT credit entitlement for adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset only when there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax within the specified period. Accordingly MAT is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will fructify. Such assets are revised at each balance sheet date.

r. GRANTS:

Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. Government grants receivable are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.

Furniture & fixtures over a period of 9 years

Vehicles over a period of 8 years

Plant & machineries, Equipments, over a period of 9 years Electrical installation & Utilities

f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS:

The carrying values of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet for impairment. if any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount.
