Mar 31, 2018

1. Significant Accounting Policies

1.1. Statement of Compliance

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), as prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013(‘the Act’) (to the extent notified) read with the Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter. These Ind AS has been adopted w.e.f. 1 April, 2017 as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. These are the Company’s first Ind AS financial statements. The date of transition to the Ind AS is 1 April, 2016. Refer to note 2.21 for the details of first-time adoption exemptions availed by the Company.

Reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition has been summarized in Note 43.

Up to the year ended 31 March, 2017, the Company prepared the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 7 of the Companies (Account) rules 2014 and other relevant provisions of the Act.

1.2. Basis of preparation and presentation

The Financial Statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for following financial instruments that are measured at fair value:

- Defined benefit plan-plan assets measured at fair value,

- Asset held for sale- measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell,

- Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments).

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

1.2.1. Functional and Presentation Currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. All values are rounded to the nearest Lakhs (INR 00,000) except when otherwise indicated.

1.2.2. Classification of Assets and Liabilities as Current and Non-Current

All assets & liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle, and other criteria set out in Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

Assets are classified as current when any of following criteria are satisfied:

i. it expects to realise the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;

ii. it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

iii. it expects to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting period;

iv. the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current

Liabilities are classified as current when any of following criteria are satisfied:

i. expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

ii. it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

iii. the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

iv. it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

1.3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised, when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, the Company no longer retain continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor has effective control over the goods sold, the amount of revenue and costs associated with the transaction can be measured reliably and no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived from the sales of goods.

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates/claims etc. Sales include excise duty and exclude Value added tax/sales tax / Service Tax / Goods & Service Tax.

Revenue from Services

Revenue from job work charges is recognised as per term of the contract with customers based on stage of completion when the outcome of the transactions involving rendering of services can be estimated reliably.

Other Operating Income

Incentives on exports and other Government incentives related to operations are recognised in books after due consideration of certainty of utilization/receipt of such incentives. For Government grant refer Para 2.4.

Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised using effective interest rate (EIR) method.

EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

Dividend Income

Revenue is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment has been established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

1.4. Government Grant & Government Assistance

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grant are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognise as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The Capital Subsidy under Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) from Government on specified machinery is recognized on a systematic and rational basis by adopting Deferred Income Approach. Such allocation to income is done prospectively over the remaining useful life of the respective assets and is adjusted against the depreciation in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Pending the utilization of the grant received, the same is presented as ‘Deferred Income’.

1.5. Inventories

Inventories including goods-in-transit are valued at lower of cost and estimated net realisable value. However, Raw 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.

Raw materials, embellishment, stores & spares and packing material:

Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Finished goods and work in progress:

Cost includes cost of direct materials (net of realizable value of waste / by product) and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs and selling expenses.

Traded goods:

Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Waste:

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

1.6. Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Transition to Ind AS

The Company has elected to continue with net carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment recognised as of 1 April, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of Property, plant and equipment (PPE) comprises its purchase price including any import duties and non-refundable taxes and net of any trade discounts and rebates. It also includes any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use, other incidental expenses, present value of decommissioning costs (where there is a legal or constructive obligation to decommission) and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use.

The company identifies and determines the cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component / part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of asset and has useful life, that is materially different from that of remaining assets.

Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of property, plant & equipment are capitalised at cost and depreciated over the useful life of asset. Otherwise such items are classified as inventories.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its purchase / completion is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Capital work-in-progress

Projects under which property, plant and equipment are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost less any recognised impairment loss. Cost comprises direct cost, related incidental expenses and borrowing cost. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised for Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) so as to write-off the cost less residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis taking into account commercial and technological obsolescence as well as normal wear and tear.

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line method except for vehicles which are depreciated on written down value method over the useful life of the assets.

For following class of assets, based on internal assessment and technical evaluation, the management has reassessed the useful lives as different from the useful lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. Management believes that the useful lives as given below, best represent the period over which these assets are expected to be used.

Free hold land is not depreciated.

Leasehold land is amortised for the period of lease. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the primary period of lease.

Biological Assets

Biological assets comprise of livestock.

Biological assets are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Changes in fair value of biological assets is recognised in the statement of profit and loss account.

Residual value in respect of vehicles, furnitures, computers, provided under the company employee benefit scheme is considered in accordance with the said scheme and is higher than 5% of the original cost of the assets.

Depreciation commences when the assets are available for intended use and is being calculated on monthly basis instead of number of days put to use.

Impairment

Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. If an impairment loss is determined, the remaining useful life of the asset is also subject to adjustment.

An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent, asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s 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.

The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. Derecognition of PPE

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 Property, Plant and Equipment) is included in the income statement when the Property, Plant and Equipment is derecognised.

1.7. Intangible assets Transition to Ind AS

The Company has elected to continue with the net carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as of 1 April, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

Recognition and measurement

An Intangible Assets is recognised when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of a separately acquired intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates; and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use.

Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

Goodwill acquired and/or arising upon business combinations initially recognized at cost and at subsequent period at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Amortisation

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Impairment

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.

Derecognition of Intangible assets

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

1.8. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

For arrangements entered into prior to the transition date, i.e.lst April, 2016, the Company has determined whether the arrangements contain lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing on the date of transition.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

(i) As a lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the standalone balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases in which case lease expenses are charged to profit or loss on the basis of actual payments to the lessors.

(ii) As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the company is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature.

1.9. Foreign currencies

The Company’s financial statements are presented in INR.

Transactions and balances

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss of the period.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise with the exception of the following:

Monetary items that are designated as part of cash flow hedge instrument are recognised in OCI.

Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

The Company uses derivative instruments i.e. Forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency risks. The Company designated these forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The Company has designated forward instruments on spot to spot basis. The Company recognises the forward points in the statement of profit and loss accounts.

At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

Fair value hedges

Changes in fair value of the designated portion of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the designated portion of hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in profit or loss in the line item relating to hedged item.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The fair value adjustment to carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk is amortised to profit or loss from that date.

Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in cash flow hedging reserve till the period hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

1.10. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits obligation is measured on undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably

Defined Contribution Plan:

The Company makes defined contribution to employee’s provident fund organization, pension fund, superannuation fund and Employees state insurance (ESI), which are accounted on accrual basis as expenses in the statement of Profit and Loss in the period during which the related services are rendered by employees.

Defined Benefit Plan:

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (‘the Gratuity Plan’) covering eligible employees of company The Gratuity Plan provides a lumpsum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the tenure of employment with the company.

Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation, performed by an independent actuary, at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.

Re-measurement gain and loss arising from experience adjustments and change actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of change in equity and in the balance sheet.

Changes in the present value of defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments and curtailments are recognised immediately in profit and loss as service cost.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value and fair value of any related assets is deducted. The liability for other long-term employee benefits are provided based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date, based on Projected Unit Credit Method, carried out by an independent actuary. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

If the benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of the reporting date, then they are discounted to present value.

1.11. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Income Tax - Current & Deferred

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related deferred income tax assets is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, only if, it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are off set where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1.12. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognised for present obligation (legal or constructive) of certain timing or amount arising as a result of past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

When it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefit is remote.

Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurance or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly with in the control of entity are also disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in notes.

Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.

1.13. Segment reporting

The Company’s operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the group that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors (the ‘Chief Operating Decision Maker’ as defined in Ind AS 108 - ‘Operating Segments’), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with the profit or loss in the financial statements.

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

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

b) Expenses that are directly identifiable with/allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment results. Expenses which relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.

c) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.

d) Segment result includes margin on inter segment sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax of the Company.

e) Segment assets & liabilities include those directly identifiable with the respective segments. Unallocable assets & liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

Inter-Segment transfer pricing

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis and are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

1.14. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) after tax (Including the post-tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) but before other comprehensive income, attributable to the equity shareholders, by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) after tax (Including the post-tax effect of extra ordinary items, if any) but before other comprehensive income adjusting the after tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the equity shareholders, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also the weighted average number of equity shares which could be issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.15. Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

1.16. Borrowing

Borrowings are initially recognised at net of transaction costs incurred and measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Preference shares, which are mandatorily redeemable on a specific date are classified as liabilities. The dividend on these preference shares is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of the assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in Statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

1.17. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives 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:

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

- In the absence of a principal market, in most advantageous market for the asset or liability and the Company has access to the principal or the most advantageous market.

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 fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets & liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and the risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. This note summarizes accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

1.18. Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

For the purposes of the presentation of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand, book overdraft as they being considered as integral part of the Company’s cash management system.

1.19. Non current assets held for sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group) and its sale is highly probable. 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.

The Company treats sale/distribution of the asset or disposal group to be highly probable when:

(i) The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group),

(ii) An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated (if applicable),

(iii) The assets or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale ata price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

(iv) The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and

(v) Action required completing the plan indicated that is unlikely that significant change to plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

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

1.20. Financial Instruments

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

A. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement

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

a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost (AC)

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income for these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

c) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.

B. Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Where the company decided to make an irrevocable election to present the fair value gain and loss (excluding dividend) on non-current equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gain and loss to profit and loss even on sale of investments. However, the group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. The group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

The company elected to measure the investment in subsidiary, associate and joint venture at cost.

C. Impairment of financial assets

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with the assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 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 entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Note No. 41.6 details how the group determines whether there has been significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments” which requires expected life time losses to be recognised from initial recognition of receivables. The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward looking estimates are analysed.

D. Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directly attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

E. Derecognition of financial instruments:

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company’s Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

F. Reclassification of financial assets

The company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

G. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if 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.

1.21. First-time adoption optional exemptions Overall principle

The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as of 1 April, 2016 (the transition date) by recognizing all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognizing items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying items from previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in measurement of recognised assets and liabilities. However, this principle is subject to the certain exception and certain optional exemptions regarding retrospective application, availed by the Company as detailed below.

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has applied the derecognition requirements of financial assets and financial liabilities prospectively for transactions occurring on or after 1 April, 2016 (the transition date).

Classification of debt instruments

The Company has determined the classification of debt instruments in terms of whether they meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVOCI criteria based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the transition date.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort to determine the credit risk at the date that financial instruments were initially recognised in order to compare it with the credit risk at the transition date. Further, the Company has not undertaken an exhaustive search for information when determining, at the date of transition to Ind ASs, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.

Deemed cost for Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its plant and equipment and intangible assets recognised as of 1 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

Deemed cost for investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates

The Company has elected to continue with the net carrying value of all of its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates recognised as of 1 April, 2016 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

1.22. Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialize.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and current and / or future periods are affected.

1.23. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.

1.23.1 Critical accounting judgements in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations that the Management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and other post-employment medical benefits and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. (Refer Note No. 2.10)

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. (Refer Note No. 2.17)

Assets held for sale

Management judgement is required to identifying the assets which are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets and its sale is highly probable which could lead to significant judgement. (Refer Note No. 2.19)

1.24. Key Source of estimation uncertainty

Key source of estimation uncertainty at the date of the financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of impairment of investments, provisions and contingent liabilities.

The areas involving critical estimates are:

Useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment

Useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment are based on management’s estimate of the expected life and residual value of those assets. These estimates are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Any reassessment of these may result in change in depreciation expense for future years (Refer Note No. 2.6).

Impairment of Property Plant and Equipment

The recoverable amount of the assets has been determined on the basis of their value in use. For estimating the value in use it is necessary to project the future cash flow of assets over its estimated useful life. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for in statement of profit or loss. (Refer Note No. 2.6).

Valuation of Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent it is considered probable that those assets will be recoverable. This involves an assessment of when those deferred tax assets are likely to reverse and a judgment as to whether or not there will be sufficient taxable profits available to offset the tax assets when they do reverse. The Company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. Any change in the estimates of future taxable income may impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets (Refer Note No. 2.11).

Provisions and contingencies

Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and revised to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the accounting standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year.

Background for preparation of amended financial statements

The Board of Directors had adopted the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 in their meeting held on 10 May 2016 and the statutory auditors'' had issued their report dated 10 May 2016 on those financial statements. , after recognizing provision for proposed dividend on the 8 per cent Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares

In view of restriction on declaration of dividend imposed under the fourth proviso to Section 123 (1) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), the Board of Directors had recommended dividend on the 8 per cent Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares, subject to obtaining approval, under Section 462 / 470 of the Act. However, the Company''s request to the Central Government seeking relief from the fourth proviso of Section 123(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 has not been accepted. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the Company have withdrawn their recommendation for proposed declaration of dividend on the 8 per cent Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares allotted to the various banks and financial institutions, pursuant to the Corporate Debt Restructuring (''CDR'') Package.

Necessary reversal of appropriations under the main head ''Reserves and Surplus'' have accordingly been recorded. Consequential amendments to reversal of the above provision for proposed dividend relate to short term provisions, disclosure of contingent liabilities not provided for and disclosure on segment reporting. These financial statements represent the amended version of the financial statements adopted by the Board of Directors earlier.

1.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

a Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. 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.

b Revenue recognition

i) Income is accounted for on accrual basis in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 9 - "Revenue Recognition".

ii) Sale is recognized on dispatch to customer.

iii) Insurance and other claims are recognized in accounts on lodgment to the extent these are measurable with reasonable certainty of acceptance. Excess/shortfall is adjusted in the year of receipt.

c Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost, computed on a weighted average basis, and estimated net realizable value, after providing for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, wherever considered necessary. Finished goods and work-in-progress include costs of conversion and other costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

d Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management. The current investments are stated at lower of cost or quoted / fair value.

e Fixed & intangible assets

i) Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less provision for impairment losses, if any, depreciation and amortization.

ii) Borrowing costs eligible for capitalization incurred, in respect of acquisition / construction of a qualifying asset, till the asset is substantially ready for use, are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

iii) Pre-operative, trial run and incidental expenses relating to the projects are carried forward to be capitalized and apportioned to various assets on commissioning of the project.

iv) Intangible assets are recognized on the basis of recognition criteria as set out in Accounting Standard (AS) 26 - "Intangible Assets".

f Depreciation & amortization

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line method, except for vehicles which are depreciated on written down value method, over the useful lives of the assets estimated by Management. Also refer note 2.7.6

i) For following class of assets, based on internal assessment and technical evaluation, the management has reassessed the useful lives as different from the useful lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. Management believes that the useful lives as given below, best represent the period over which these assets are expected to be used.

Plant and Machinery (General) (Triple shift operation) * 9.18 years

Plant and Machinery (Textile Made-ups) (Single shift operation) 9 years

Plant and Machinery (Thermal Power) 18 years

Vehicles 5 years

* As per independent technical evaluation carried out, based on current usage, technology and efficiency parameters, useful life as derived from rates of depreciation for triple shift operation specified in Schedule XIV of the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956, is considered a fair representation of the estimated useful life in respect of plant and machinery installed in Spinning , Knitting, Dyeing, and Processing activities

Residual value in respect of vehicles provided under company employee benefit scheme is considered in accordance with terms of the said scheme and is higher than 5%of the original cost of the asset.

ii) Leasehold land is amortized over the period of lease.

iii) Free hold land and live stock are not depreciated.

iv) Acquired software costs are amortized, on straight line method, over 6 years or estimated useful lives, whichever is lower.

v) Leasehold improvements are amortized over the primary period of lease. g impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount being the higher of the asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating units).

Previously recognized impairment losses are reversed where the recoverable amount increases because of a favorable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment was recognized. A reversal of an asset''s impairment loss is limited to its carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization), had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.

h. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss of the period.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year end are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the last working day of the accounting year. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

Forward contracts are entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date as well as future transactions in respect of which either firm commitments have been made or which are highly probable forecast transactions. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with AS 11. The exchange difference on such a forward exchange contract is calculated as the difference between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

Derivative financial instruments not covered by AS 11,relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, which qualify for hedge accounting and where Company has met all the conditions of AS 30, are fair valued at balance sheet date and resultant exchange gain / loss accounted for in the balance sheet as per provisions of AS 30. This gain / loss would be recorded in Statement of profit and loss when the underlying transactions affect earnings. Other derivative instruments that relate to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction and that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange gain / loss credited / debited to Statement of profit and loss for the period.

i. Government grants

Government grants, where reasonable certainty exists that the ultimate collection will be made, are recognized as follows:

i) Grants of the nature of promoter''s contribution are credited to Capital Reserve.

ii) Grants related to specific depreciable fixed assets are deducted from gross values of the related fixed assets in arriving at their book value.

iii) Grants related to revenue are recognized on a systematic basis in the Statement of profit and loss, either as income or deducted from related expenses, over the periods necessary to match them with their related costs.

j Employee benefits

The Company''s employee benefits primarily cover provident fund, superannuation, gratuity and compensated absences.

Provident fund and Superannuation fund are defined contribution schemes and the Company has no further obligation beyond the contributions made to the fund. Contributions are charged to Statement of profit and loss in the year in which they accrue.

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is recorded based on actuarial valuation made at the end of the year. The gratuity liability and net periodic gratuity cost is actuarially determined after considering discount rates, expected long term return on plan assets and increase in compensation levels. All actuarial gains and losses are immediately recorded to the Statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognized during the period when the employee renders the service. Accumulating compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation.

k Tax on income

i) Current corporate tax is provided on the results for the year after considering applicable tax rates and laws.

ii) Deferred tax is provided on timing differences between tax and accounting treatments that originate in one period and are expected to be reversed or settled in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted / substantively enacted tax rates and laws for continuing operations.

Deferred tax assets, in the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws, that exceed the deferred tax liability, are recognized only where there is virtual certainty of realization. Deferred tax assets on other accounts are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realization.

iii) Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognized as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

l Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized for present obligations, of uncertain timing or amount, arising as a result of a past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

m Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and 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 such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

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.

n Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

Finished goods and work-in-progress include costs of conversion and other costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

d Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management. The current investments are stated at lower of cost or quoted / fair value.

e Fixed & intangible assets

i) Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less provision for impairment losses, if any, depreciation and amortization.

ii) Borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation incurred, in respect of acquisition / construction of a qualifying asset, till the asset is substantially ready for use, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

iv) Intangible assets are recognised on the basis of recognition criteria as set out in Accounting Standard (AS) 26 - "Intangible Assets".

f Depreciation & amortisation

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on straight line method, except for vehicles which are depreciated on written down value method, over the useful lives of the assets estimated by Management. Also refer note 2.7.6

i) For following class of assets, based on internal assessment and technical evaluation, the management has reassessed the useful lives as different from the useful lives prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. Management believes that the useful lives as given below, best represent the period over which these assets are expected to be used.

ii) Leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

iii) Free hold land and live stock are not depreciated.

iv) Acquired software costs are amortised, on straight line method, over 6 years or estimated useful lives, whichever is lower g Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount being the higher of the asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating units).

Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed where the recoverable amount increases because of a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment was recognised. A reversal of an asset''s impairment loss is limited to its carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization), had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

h Foreign currency transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss of the period.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year end are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the last working day of the accounting year. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.

Forward contracts are entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date as well as future transactions in respect of which either firm commitments have been made or which are highly probable forecast transactions. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with AS-11. The exchange difference on such a forward exchange contract is calculated as the difference between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

Derivative financial instruments not covered by AS-11, relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, which qualify for hedge accounting and where Company has met all the conditions of AS-30, are fair valued at balance sheet date and resultant exchange gain / loss accounted for in the balance sheet as per provisions of AS-30. This gain / loss would be recorded in Statement of profit and loss when the underlying transactions affect earnings. Other derivative instruments that relate to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction and that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange gain / loss credited / debited to Statement of profit and loss for the period.

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is recorded based on actuarial valuation made at the end of the year. The gratuity liability and net periodic gratuity cost is actuarially determined after considering discount rates, expected long term return on plan assets and increase in compensation levels. All actuarial gains and losses are immediately recorded to the Statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service.Accumulating compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation.

l Tax on income

i) Current corporate tax is provided on the results for the year after considering applicable tax rates and laws.

ii) Deferred tax is provided on timing differences between tax and accounting treatments that originate in one period and are expected to be reversed or settled in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted / substantively enacted tax rates and laws for continuing operations.

Deferred tax assets, in the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws, that exceed the deferred tax liability, are recognized only where there is virtual certainty of realization. Deferred tax assets on other accounts are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realization.

iii) Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

m Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognized for present obligations, of uncertain timing or amount, arising as a result of a past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

n Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and 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 such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

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.

o Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

A. Use of Estimates

The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the Financial Statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. 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.

b. Revenue Recognition

i) Income is accounted for on accrual basis in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 9 - "Revenue Recognition".

ii) Sale is recognised on dispatch to customer.

iii) Insurance and other claims are recognised in accounts on lodgment to the extent these are measurable with reasonable certainty of acceptance. Excess/shortfall is adjusted in the year of receipt.

c. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost, computed on a weighted average basis, and estimated net realisable value, after providing for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, wherever considered necessary. Finished goods and work-in-progress include costs of conversion and other costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

d. Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management. The current investments are stated at lower of cost or quoted / fair value.

e. Fixed & Intangible Assets

i) Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less provision for impairment losses, if any, depreciation and amortization.

ii) Borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation incurred, in respect of acquisition / construction of a qualifying asset, till the asset is substantially ready for use, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

iv) Intangible assets are recognised on the basis of recognition criteria as set out in Accounting Standard (AS) 26 - "Intangible Assets".

f. Depreciation & Amortisation

Depreciation & Amortisation for the year has been accounted on the following basis:

i) Plant & Machinery of the garment division, on straight line method at the rates based on their useful life of 10 years, estimated by the Management, which is higher than the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

ii) Plant & Machinery, Building, Furniture & Office Equipment other than those covered in (i) above, on straight line method at the rates based on their estimated useful lives, which corresponds to the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

ii) Vehicles, on written down value method at the rates based on their estimated useful lives, which corresponds to the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956.

iii) Leasehold Land is amortised over the period of lease.

iv) Free hold Land and Live Stock are not depreciated.

v) Assets costing upto Rs. 5,000 are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

vi) Software costs are amortised, on straight line method, at the rates based on their estimated useful lives, which corresponds to the rates prescribed for computers in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, which is a fair representation of the period of time over which the asset is expected to be used.

vii) In the case of assets where an impairment loss is recognized, the revised carrying amount is depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life.

g. Impairment of Assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount being the higher of the asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating units).

Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed where the recoverable amount increases because of a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment was recognised. A reversal of an asset''s impairment loss is limited to its carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization), had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

h. Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the period.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year end are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the last working day of the accounting year. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Forward contracts are entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the Balance Sheet date as well as future transactions in respect of which either firm commitments have been made or which are highly probable forecast transactions. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the Balance Sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with AS-11. The exchange difference on such a forward exchange contract is calculated as the difference between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

Derivative financial instruments not covered by AS-11, relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, which qualify for hedge accounting and where Company has met all the conditions of AS-30, are fair valued at Balance Sheet date and resultant exchange gain / loss accounted for in the Balance Sheet as per provisions of AS-30. This gain / loss would be recorded in Statement of Profit and Loss when the underlying transactions affect earnings. Other derivative instruments that relate to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction and that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange gain / loss credited / debited to Statement of Profit and Loss for the period.

i. Government Grants

Government grants, where reasonable certainty exists that the ultimate collection will be made, are recognized as follows:

i) Grants of the nature of promoter''s contribution are credited to Capital Reserve.

ii) Grants related to specific depreciable fixed assets are deducted from gross values of the related fixed assets in arriving at their book value.

iii) Grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis in the Statement of Profit and Loss, either as income or deducted from related expenses, over the periods necessary to match them with their related costs.

j. Miscellaneous expenditure

i) Share issue expenses are amortised over a period of five years or earlier on annual appraisal.

k. Employee benefits

The Company''s employee benefits primarily cover provident fund, superannuation, gratuity and compensated absences.

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is recorded based on actuarial valuation made at the end of the year. The gratuity liability and net periodic gratuity cost is actuarially determined after considering discount rates, expected long term return on plan assets and increase in compensation levels. All actuarial gains and losses are immediately recorded to the Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service. Accumulating compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation.

l. Tax on Income

i) Current corporate tax is provided on the results for the year after considering applicable tax rates and laws.

ii) Deferred tax is provided on timing differences between tax and accounting treatments that originate in one period and are expected to be reversed or settled in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted / substantively enacted tax rates and laws for continuing operations.

Deferred tax assets, in the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws, that exceed the deferred tax liability, are recognized only where there is virtual certainty of realization. Deferred tax assets on other accounts are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realization.

iii) Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

m. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized for present obligations, of uncertain timing or amount, arising as a result of a past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

n. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and 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 such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

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.

o. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and cash on deposit with banks and corporations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

1) General

The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Notified accounting standards by Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company and are consistent with those used in the previous year.

2) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. 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.

3) Revenue Recognition

i) Income is accounted for on accrual basis in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 9 - "Revenue Recognition".

ii) Sale is recognised on dispatch to customer.

iii) Insurance and other claims are recognised in accounts on lodgment to the extent these are measurable with reasonable certainty of acceptance. Excess/shortfall is adjusted in the year of receipt.

4) Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost, computed on a weighted average basis, and estimated net realisable value, after providing for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, wherever considered necessary. Finished goods and work-in-progress include costs of conversion and other costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

5) Investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management. The current investments are stated at lower of cost or quoted / fair value computed category wise.

6) Fixed & Intangible Assets

i) Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less provision for impairment losses, if any, depreciation and amortization.

ii) Borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation incurred, in respect of acquisition / construction of a qualifying asset, till the asset is substantially ready for use, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

iii) Pre-operative, trial run and incidental expenses relating to the projects are carried forward to be capitalised and apportioned to various assets on commissioning of the project.

iv) Intangible assets are recognised on the basis of recognition criteria as set out in Accounting Standard (AS) 26 – "Intangible Assets".

7) Depreciation & Amortisation

Depreciation & Amortisation for the year has been accounted on the following basis:

vii) In the case of assets where an impairment loss is recognized, the revised carrying amount is depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life.

8) Impairment of assets

Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset''s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount being the higher of the asset''s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (i.e. cash generating units).

Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed where the recoverable amount increases because of a favourable change in the

estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment was recognised. A reversal of an asset''s impairment loss is limited to its carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization), had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

9) Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the respective transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the period are recognised in the profit and loss account of the period.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year end are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the last working day of the accounting year. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the profit & loss account.

Forward contracts are entered into, to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date as well as future transactions in respect of which either firm commitments have been made or which are highly probable forecast transactions. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

In relation to the forward contracts entered into, to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with AS-11. The exchange difference on such a forward exchange contract is calculated as the difference between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

Derivative financial instruments not covered by AS-11, relating to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction, which qualify for hedge accounting and where Company has met all the conditions of AS-30, are fair valued at balance sheet date and resultant exchange gain / loss accounted for in the balance sheet as per provisions of AS-30. This gain / loss would be recorded in profit and loss account when the underlying transactions affect earnings. Other derivative instruments that relate to a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction and that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value at the reporting date and the resultant exchange gain / loss credited / debited to profit and loss account for the period.

10) Government Grants

Government grants, where reasonable certainity exists that the ultimate collection will be made, are recognized as follows:

i) Grants of the nature of promoter''s contribution are credited to Capital Reserve.

ii) Grants related to specific depreciable fixed assets are deducted from gross values of the related fixed assets in arriving at their book value.

iii) Grants related to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis in the Profit and Loss Account, either as income or deducted from related expenses, over the periods necessary to match them with their related costs.

11) Miscellaneous Expenditure

i) Premium paid on resetting of interest rate on term loans is amortised over balance period of the respective loans. ii) Share issue expenses are amortised over a period of five years or earlier on annual appraisal.

12) Employee Benefits

The Company''s employee benefits primarily cover provident fund, superannuation, gratuity and compensated absences.

Provident fund and Superannuation fund are defined contribution schemes and the Company has no further obligation beyond the contributions made to the fund. Contributions are charged to profit and loss account in the year in which they accrue.

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is recorded based on actuarial valuation made at the end of the year. The gratuity liability and net periodic gratuity cost is actuarially determined after considering discount rates, expected long term return on plan assets and increase in compensation levels. All actuarial gains and losses are immediately recorded to the profit and loss account and are not deferred.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised during the period when the employee renders the service. Accumulating compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation.

13) Tax On Income

i) Current corporate tax is provided on the results for the year after considering applicable tax rates and laws.

ii) Deferred tax is provided on timing differences between tax and accounting treatments that originate in one period and are expected to be reversed or settled in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted / substantively enacted tax rates and laws for continuing operations.

Deferred tax assets in the event of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws, that exceed the deferred tax liability, are recognized only where there is virtual certainty of realization.

Deferred tax assets on other accounts are recognized only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of realization.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realization.

14) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized for present obligations, of uncertain timing or amount, arising as a result of a past event where a reliable estimate can be made and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Where it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the possibility of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
