1. a) For Raw Material on moving weighted average method plus direct expenses.

i) Classification

The company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories -

- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through Statement of profit and loss), and

- Those measured at amortized cost

The classification depends on the company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at the fair value through other comprehensive income.

ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction cost that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. In the case of a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs of financial assets are expensed in the Statement of profit and loss. The company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss.

iii) Impairment of financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use.

The company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

iv) Derecognition of Financial Assets:

A financial asset is derecognized only when

- The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

- Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

j) Impairment of Non-Financial assets

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from assets or group of assets (cash-generating units). Non-Financial assets suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. k) Non- Current Assets Held for Sale :

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of disposal, company classified as held for sale, continue to be recognized.

Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss when incurred.

Property that is held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs.

Management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the date of financial statements and reported amount of income and expenses during the period.

The areas involving critical estimates or judgments are:

- Estimation of current tax expense and payable.

- Designation of financial assets /liabilities through FVTPL .

- Estimation of defined benefit obligation.
