Mar 31, 2018

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Property, Plant & Equipment

Upon first time adoption of Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its property, plant & equipment, at the Previous Indian GAAP’s carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. 1st April, 2016.

Property, Plant & Equipment except those revalued are accounted for on historical cost basis (inclusive of the cost of installation and other incidental costs till commencement of commercial production) net of recoverable taxes, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. It also includes the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

Subsequent costs are added to the existing asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant & equipment is provided on pro-rata basis, on straight line basis in the case of Plant & Machinery, Buildings and Data Processing Equipment and on written down value basis in the case of other assets, over the useful life of the assets estimated by the management, in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.The asset’s residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and necessary adjustments are made accordingly, wherever required. The useful lives in the following cases are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Based on usage pattern, internal assessment and technical evaluation carried out by the technicians, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use these assets. Hence the useful lives of these assets is different from the lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Depreciation on additions to assets or on sale/disposal of assets, is calculated pro rata from the month of such addition or upto the month prior to date of sale/disposal, as the case may.

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the primary period of lease.

Gains or losses arising on retirement or disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Property, plant and equipment which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital work-in-progress”.

2.2 Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

(i) Financial Assets

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

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

At initial recognition, all financial assets are recognized at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

(b) Classification and subsequent measurement

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:

a. Financial assets measured at amortized cost;

b. Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI); and

c. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Where financial assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognized entirely in the Statement of Profit and Loss (i.e. fair value through profit and loss), or recognized in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through Other Comprehensive Income).

The classification of financial assets depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

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

- Business Model Test: The objective of the business model is to hold financial asset in order to collect contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the asset prior to its financial maturity to realize its fair value changes); and

- Cash Flow Characteristics Test: Contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial asset are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of 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. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The EIR amortization is included in interest income is the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade receivables, deposits with banks, security deposits, investment in debt instruments, cash and cash equivalents and employee loans, etc.

(2) Financial instruments measured at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI):

A financial instrument shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

- Business Model Test: The objective of the business model is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

- Cash Flow Characteristics Test: The Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on principal amount outstanding.

Financial instruments included within FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting period at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) except for the recognition of interest income, impairment gains and losses and foreign exchange gain and losses which are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to non-current investments in un-quoted equity instruments. .

(3) Financial instruments measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)

Fair Value Through Profit and Loss is a residual category. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income is classified as FVTPL. Financial instruments included in FVTPL category are measured initially as well as at each reporting period at fair value. Fair value movements i.e. gain or loss and interest income are recorded in Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:

- Financial Assets measured at amortized cost;

- Financial Assets measured at FVTOCI.

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

- the 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

- full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible defaults events over the life of the financial instrument).

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:

- Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost i.e. trade receivables, deposits with banks, security deposits and employee loans etc.

- Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at FVTOCI. The Company as at the Balance Sheet date is not having any such instruments.

Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

The trade receivables are initially recognized at the sale/recoverable value and are assessed at each Balance Sheet date for collectability. Trade receivables are classified as current assets, if collection is expected within twelve months as at Balance Sheet date, if not, they are classified under non-current assets.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12 months (Expected Credit Loss) ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-months ECL.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on timely basis.

(d) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company’s Balance Sheet date) when:

a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have been expired/transferred, or

b. The Company retains the contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. When the Company has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. When the entity retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(ii) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(a) Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans, borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include loans, borrowings, trade payables, security deposits and other payables etc..

(b) Subsequent measurement

All the financial liabilities after initial recognition at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and costs or fee that is an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(c) Financial Guarantee Contract

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.

(d) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized 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 recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iii) Offsetting of financial instruments:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet it there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

3.3 Inventories

The Inventories are carried in the Balance Sheet as follows:

a. Raw materials and stores & spares : At lower of cost, on weighted average basis and net realisable Value

b. Finished goods and stock-in-process : At lower of cost, and net realizable value. Cost include cost of inputs, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing finished goods and stock-in-process, to their present location and condition.

c. Obsolete, defective and unserviceable : Such stocks are duly provided for, and are valued at net realisable value.

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

3.4 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with banks which are short-term (three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, using external and internal sources, whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognised in the previous period/s.If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognised when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is determined:

- in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost of sell and value in use; and

- in the case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows) at the higher of the cash generating unit’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use.

In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that effects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to that asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed, if and only if, the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss being recognized for the asset in prior year/s.

3.6 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

a) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation, at the Balance Sheet date.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

b) Contingent Liabilities

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation arising as a result of past event that probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.

3.7 Revenue Recognition

a) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer, there is no continuing managerial involvement nor effective control with the goods, the associated costs and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the transaction will flow to the Company.

It is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of sales returns, trade discount, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government which are levied on sales such as sales tax, value added tax, goods and service tax etc.

b) Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the performance of agreed contractual task has been completed.

c) Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and applicable interest rates.

d) Sale of certificates under Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) mechanism is recognized on sale of certificates.

e) Certified Emission Reduction (CER) is recognised as income on the generation of CER and as certified by the relevant authority.

f) Export benefit entitlements under the duty entitlement pass book (DEPB) scheme are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made. Obligation/entitlements on account of advance license scheme for imports of raw materials are accounted for at the time of purchase of raw materials.

3.8 Government Grants / Subsidy

Government grants are recognized when there is a reasonable assurance of compliance with the conditions attached to such grants and where benefits in respect thereof have been earned and it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made. Government grant received for a specific asset is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

3.9 Employee Benefits

a. Short Term Employee Benefits

All Employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short term benefits. Such benefits include salaries, wages, bonus, awards, ex-gratia etc. and the same are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b. Defined contribution plan:

The Company’s approved provident fund scheme, pension fund, employees’ state insurance fund scheme, employees’ pension scheme and employees’ superannuation scheme are defined contribution plans. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution paid/payable under such schemes. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

c. Defined Benefit Plan

The employees’ Gratuity fund scheme is the Company’s defined benefit plan and is managed by a Trust. The liability with respect to gratuity is determined based on the actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method as at the balance sheet date.The difference, if any, between the actuarial valuation and the balance of the funds maintained by the Trust, is provided for as liability / assets 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 Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

d. Other Long Term Benefit

The liability towards encashment of the employees’ long term compensated absences, which are party en-cashable during the service period and balance at the time of retirement / separation of the employees is determined based on the actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method as at the balance sheet date. Re-measurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

3.10 Operating leases

Operating leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the leased term are classified as operating leases. Operating lease rentals are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis over the lease term, unless the payments are structured to increase in line with the expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor in expected inflationary cost increase.

3.11 Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency existing at balance sheet date are translated at the year end exchange rates. Exchange rate differences arising on settlement of transaction and translation of monetary items are recognized as income or expenses in the year in which they arise.

Non- monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the far value is determined.

Premium or discount on forward exchange contract is amortised as income or expense over the life of the contract. Exchange difference on such contract is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rate changes. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward contract is recognized as income or expenditure during the period.

3.12 Taxation

Tax expense for the year comprises of Current Tax and Deferred Tax.

a. Current Tax

Current income tax, assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961 and the Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) enacted in India by using tax rates and the tax laws that are enacted at the reporting date.

b. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. 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 realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

3.13Intangible Assets:

Upon first time adoption of Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure its intangible assets at the Previous GAAP’s carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e. 1st April, 2016.

Intangible assets which consist of computer software, are initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. It is amortized over a period of 5 years or license period on straight line basis, whichever is lower.

3.14Non-Current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.^ case said criteria is no longer met, the non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale ceases to be to held for sale.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for distribution are presented separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:

- represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, Or

- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

No depreciation / amortization is charged once the non-current asset is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

In case above criteria is no longer met, the non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale ceases to be to held for sale.

3.15Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit or loss of 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 year 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.

3.16 Segment Accounting:

The Operational Head monitors the operating results of its business Segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.

The Operating Segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products.

1. Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.

2. Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segments result. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under un-allocable expenditure.

3. Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in un-allocable income.

4. Segment result includes margins on inter - segment sales, which are adjusted while arriving at the results of the Company as a whole.

5. Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Un-allocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

Inter-Segment transfer pricing

Inter Segment transfers of goods, as marketable products produced by separate segments, for captive consumption are made as if sales were made to third parties at current market prices and are included in Turnover of the respective Segment.

2.6. Inventory Valuation

(a) Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(b) In respect of raw materials and stores & spares, cost is computed on weighted average basis. Finished goods and stock in process include cost of inputs, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

(c) Obsolete, defective and unserviceable stocks are provided for, wherever required.

(b) Pursuant to the notification of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, effective Ist April, 2014, based on the technical advice / evaluation and internal assessment of usage pattern, the useful lives of the assets have been re-estimated. Accordingly the carrying amount as at 1st April, 2014 is being depreciated over the remaining useful life of the assets. The useful lives in the following cases are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Based on usage pattern, internal assessment and independent technical evaluation carried out by the external valuers/technicians, the management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use these assets. Hence the useful lives of these assets is different from the lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(c) Significant improvements / subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed assets is added to its carrying amount when it is probable that such improvement will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance or increase in useful life of asset and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably. Subsequent expenditures are amortized over the remaining useful life of the asset.

(d) Depreciation on additions to assets or on sale/discardment of assets, is calculated pro rata from the month of such addition or upto the month prior to date of sale/discardment, as the case may.

(e) Depreciation on buildings of Textile Unit revalued in earlier years is calculated on the respective revalued figures spread equally over the residual life of the concerned buildings as assessed by the valuer. The difference in depreciation on revalued amount so determined and the depreciation on the original cost of such assets is transferred from Revaluation Reserve to the general reserve.

2.9. Impairment of Assets

An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceeds recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.
