(h) Provisions, contingent liabilities and
contingent assets

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss if, as a result of a past
event, the Company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated
reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. If the effect of the time value of
money is material, provisions are determined
by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

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

Contingent assets are not recognized in the
financial statements. However, contingent
assets are assessed continually and if it is
virtually certain that an inflow of economic
benefits will arise, the asset and related
income are recognized in the period in which
the change occurs.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss
when the expected benefits to be derived by
the Company from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations
under the contract. The provision is measured
at the present value of the lower of the
expected cost of terminating the contract and
the expected net cost of continuing with the
contract. Before a provision is established,
the Company recognizes any impairment loss
on the assets associated with that contract.

Reimbursement rights

Expected reimbursements for expenditures
required to settle a provision are recognized
in the statement of profit and loss only when
receipt of such reimbursements is virtually
certain. Such reimbursements are recognized
as a separate asset in the balance sheet, with
a corresponding credit to the specific expense
for which the provision has been made.

i. Revenue

Ind AS 115 recognizes revenue on transfer of
the control of goods or services, either over
a period of time or at a point in time, at an
amount that the entity expects to be entitled
in exchange for those goods or services. In
order to align with Ind AS 115, the Accounting
policy on revenue recognition was reviewed
and revised.

The Company primarily earns revenue from
manufacture, distribute and market a wide
range of product categories consisting of
(a) soil health management products; (b)
crop nutrition products; (c) bio stimulant
products; (d) bio pesticide products (e)

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) products;
(f) new technologies.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized
when control of the products being sold is
transferred to the customers and when there
are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The
Performance Obligations in our contracts are
fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or
upon formal customer acceptance depending
on customer terms.

Revenue is measured at transaction price,
after deduction of any trade discounts,
volume rebates and any taxes or duties
collected on behalf of the government such
as goods and services tax, etc. Accumulated
experience is used to estimate the provision
for such discounts and rebates. Revenue is
only recognized to the extent that it is highly
probable a significant reversal will not occur.
Our customers have the contractual right to
return goods only when authorized by the
Group. An estimate is made of goods that will
be returned and a liability is recognized for
this amount using a best estimate based on
accumulated experience.

Refund Liability:

The Company accounts for sales returns
accrual by recording refund liability
concurrent with the recognition of revenue
at the time of a product sale. This liability
is based on the Company’s estimate of
expected sales returns. The Company
deals in various products and operates in
various markets. Accordingly, the estimate
of sales returns is determined primarily by
the Company’s historical experience in the
markets in which the Company operates.
With respect to established products, the
Company considers its historical experience
of actual sales returns, levels of inventory in
the distribution channel, estimated shelf life,
any revision in the shelf life of the product,
product discontinuances, price changes of
competitive products, and the introduction
of competitive new products, to the extent
each of these factors impact the Company’s
business and markets. With respect to
new products introduced by the Company,
such products have historically been either
extensions of an existing line of product where
the Company has historical experience or in
therapeutic categories where established
products exist and are sold either by the
Company or the Company’s competitors. At
the time of recognizing the refund liability the

Company also recognizes an asset, (i.e., the
right to the returned goods) which is included
in inventories for the products expected to
be returned. The Company initially measures
this asset at the former carrying amount of the
inventory, less any expected costs to recover
the goods, including any potential decreases
in the value of the returned goods. Along with
re-measuring the refund liability at the end of
each reporting period, the Company updates
the measurement of the asset recorded for
any revisions to its expected level of returns,
as well as any additional decreases in the
value of the returned products.

j. Tax Expenses

I ncome tax expense comprises current and
deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business
combination, or items recognized directly in
equity or in other comprehensive income.

The Company has determined that interest
and penalties related to income taxes,
including uncertain tax treatments, do not
meet the definition of income taxes, and
therefore accounted for them under Ind AS
37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets.

Current tax

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

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability
method on temporary differences between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and
their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets
are recognized for all taxable

temporary differences and deductible
temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward
of unused tax credits and unused tax losses
can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is
reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to
be utilized.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re¬
assessed at each reporting date and are
recognized to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow
the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured at the tax rates that are expected
to apply in the period when the asset is
realized or the liability is settled, based on tax
rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized
outside the statement of profit and loss is
recognized outside the statement of profit and
loss (either in OCI or in equity in correlation to
the underlying transaction).

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
are offset if a legally enforceable right exists
to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate
to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

Goods and Service Tax (GST) paid on
acquisition of assets or on incurring
expenses

When the tax incurred on purchase of assets
or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, the tax paid is recognized
as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset
or as part of the expense item, as applicable.
Otherwise, expenses and assets are
recognized net of the amount of taxes paid.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or
payable to, the taxation authority is included
as part of receivables or payables in the
balance sheet.

K. Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception
whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.
That is, if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition
and measurement approach for all leases,
except for short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets. The Company recognizes
lease liabilities to make lease payments and
right-of-use assets representing the right to
use the underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets
at the commencement date of the lease (i.e.,
the date the underlying asset is available
for use). Right-of-use assets are measured
at cost, less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the
amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial
direct costs incurred, and lease payments
made at or before the commencement date
less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the
lease term and the estimated useful lives of
the assets. If ownership of the leased asset
transfers to the Company at the end of the
lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of
a purchase option, depreciation is calculated
using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to
impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in
section of Impairment of non-financial assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease,
the Company recognizes lease liabilities
measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term.
The lease payments include fixed payments
(including in-substance fixed payments) less
any lease incentives receivable, variable
lease payments that depend on an index
or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid
under residual value guarantees. The lease
payments also include the exercise price of
a purchase option reasonably certain to be

exercised by the Company and payments of
penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease
term reflects the Variable lease payments
that do not depend on an index or a rate are
recognized as expenses (unless they are
incurred to produce inventories) in the period
in which the event or condition that triggers
the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease
payments, the Company uses its incremental
borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date because the interest rate implicit in the
lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease
liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion
of interest and reduced for the lease payments
made. In addition, the carrying amount of
lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a
modification, a change in the lease term, a
change in the lease payments (e.g., changes
to future payments resulting from a change in
an index or rate used to determine such lease
payments) or a change in the assessment of
an option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Company’s lease liabilities are included
in Borrowings.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets

The Company applies the short-term lease
recognition exemption to its short-term leases
(i.e., those leases that have a lease term of
12 months or less from the commencement
date and do not contain a purchase option).
It also applies the lease of low-value assets
recognition exemption to leases that are
considered to be of low value. Lease
payments on short-term leases and leases of
low-value assets are recognized as expense
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

l. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated
by dividing the net profit or loss for the
year attributable to equity shareholders
(after deducting preference dividends and
attributable taxes) by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during
the year.

The weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year 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.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing the profit (considered in determination
of basic earnings per share) after considering
the effect of interest and other financing
costs or income (net of attributable taxes)
associated with dilutive potential equity
shares by the weighted average number of
equity shares considered for deriving basic
earnings per share adjusted for the weighted
average number of equity shares that would
have been issued upon conversion of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

m. Treasury Shares:

The Company has created an ESOP Trust
(Nova Agritech employee welfare trust) which
acts as a vehicle to execute its ESOP plan.
The ESOP trust is considered as an extension
of the Company and the shares held by the
ESOP trust are treated as Treasury shares.
The ESOP Trust purchases Company’s share
from secondary market for issuance to the
employees on exercise of the granted stock
options. These shares are recognized at cost
and are disclosed separately as reduction
from Other Equity as treasury shares. No
gain or loss in is recognized the Statement of
Profit and Loss on purchase, sale, issuance, or
cancellation of treasury shares.

n. Segment Reporting:

The Company is engaged in the “manufacture,
distribute and marketing bio pesticide
products” and the same constitutes a single
reportable business segment as per Ind AS
108. And hence segment reporting specified
as per IND AS 108 is not applicable.

o. Investment in subsidiary and associate
Companies

The Company has elected to recognize its
investments in subsidiary and associate
companies at cost in accordance with the
option available in Ind AS 27, ‘Separate
Financial Statements’. Cost includes cash
consideration paid on initial recognition,
adjusted for embedded derivative and
estimated contingent consideration (earn
out), if any.

Contingent consideration (earn out) is
remeasured at fair value at each reporting
date and changes in the fair value of the

contingent consideration are recognized in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.

p. Foreign Currency Translation
Initial Recognition:

On initial recognition, transactions in foreign
currencies entered into by the Company are
recorded in the functional currency (i.e. Indian
Rupees), by applying to the foreign currency
amount, the spot exchange rate between the
functional currency and the foreign currency
at the date of the transaction.

Measurement of foreign currency items at
reporting date:

Foreign currency monetary items of the
Company are translated at the closing
exchange rates. Non monetary items that
are measured at historical cost in a foreign
currency, are translated using the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Non¬
monetary items that are measured at fair
value in a foreign currency, are translated
using the exchange rates at the date when
the fair value is measured.

Exchange differences arising out of foreign
exchange translations and settlements during
the year are recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.

q. Borrowing Cost:

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization
of ancillary costs incurred in connection with
the arrangement of borrowings and exchange
differences arising from foreign currency
borrowings to the extent they are regarded
as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs, if any, directly attributable to
the acquisition, construction or production of
an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended
use or sale are capitalized, if any. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period
in which they occur.

r. Events after reporting date:

Where events occurring after the Balance
Sheet date provide evidence of conditions
that existed at the end of the reporting period,
the impact of such events is adjusted within
the Financial Statements. Otherwise, events
after the Balance Sheet date of material size
or nature are only disclosed.

s. Exceptional items:

An ordinary item of income or expense which
by its size, nature, occurrence or incidence
requires a disclosure in order to improve
understanding of the performance of the
Company is treated as an exceptional item in
the Statement of Profit and Loss account.

t. Recent pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies
new standards or amendments to the
existing standards under Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules as issued
from time to time. During the year ended 31
March 2025, MCA has notified the following
standards or amendments to the existing
standards which are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2024:

I.Ind As 117 - Insurance Contracts : This
Standard is not applicable to the company.

2.Ind As 116 - Sale and leaseback :
Amendments to this standard are not
applicable to the company.

Note 39: Financial instruments & fair value measurements:

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Ind AS financial statements are categorised within
the fair value hierarchy, as below, 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.

There has been no transfers between levels during the year. The management has assessed that the carrying values of
financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair values are disclosed, reasonably approximate their fair values because
these instruments have short-term maturities.

Note 40: Financial Risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these
financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments,
trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and security deposits.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the
management of these risks. The Company’s risk management is carried out by a treasury department under policies approved
by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies
covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk.

a. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument that will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk i.e. interest rate risk, currency risk and other price
risk, such as commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, derivatives financial
instruments and trade payables.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate
relates primarily to the Company’s borrowings with floating interest rates. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity
to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the
Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, without considering impact of
derivatives not designated as hedges, as follows:

b. Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments if counterparty default on its obligations.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises majorly from trade and other receivables. Other financial assets like
security deposits and bank deposits are mostly with government authorities and scheduled banks and hence, the
Company does not expect any credit risk with respect to these financial assets.

Trade and other receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The
demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates,

C. Liquidity risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements at all
times. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings and excess operating cash flows to meet its needs for funds. The
current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium/long term expansion needs. The Company
monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while
maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does
not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

Note 41: Details of CSR expenditure:

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘Act), a company, meeting the applicability threshold, needs to spend at

h. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement of profit and loss if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

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

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

Reimbursement rights

Expected reimbursements for expenditures required to settle a provision are recognised in the statement of profit and loss only when receipt of such reimbursements is virtually certain. Such reimbursements are recognised as a separate asset in the balance sheet, with a corresponding credit to the specific expense for which the provision has been made.

i. Revenue

Ind AS 115 recognizes revenue on transfer of the control of goods or services, either over a period of time or at a point in time, at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to align with Ind AS 115, the Accounting policy on revenue recognition was reviewed and revised.

The Company primarily earns revenue from manufacture, distribute and market a wide range of product categories consisting of (a) soil health management products; (b) crop nutrition products; (c) bio stimulant products; (d) bio pesticide products (e)

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) products; (f) new technologies.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customers and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The Performance Obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customer terms.

Revenue is measured at transaction price, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts and rebates. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur. Our customers have the contractual right to return goods only when authorised by the Group. An estimate is made of goods that will be returned and a liability is recognised for this amount using a best estimate based on accumulated experience.

Refund Liability:

The Company accounts for sales returns accrual by recording refund liability concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This liability is based on the Company’s estimate of expected sales returns. The Company deals in various products and operates in various markets. Accordingly, the estimate of sales returns is determined primarily by the Company’s historical experience in the markets in which the Company operates. With respect to established products, the Company considers its historical experience of actual sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, any revision in the shelf life of the product, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company’s business and markets. With respect to new products introduced by the Company, such products have historically been either extensions of an existing line of product where the Company has historical experience or in therapeutic categories where established products exist and are sold either by the Company or the Company’s competitors. At the time of recognising the refund liability the Company also recognises an asset, (i.e., the right to the returned goods) which is included

in inventories for the products expected to be returned. The Company initially measures this asset at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including any potential decreases in the value of the returned goods. Along with re-measuring the refund liability at the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to its expected level of returns, as well as any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.

j. Tax Expenses

I ncome tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatments, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

Current tax

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

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deductible temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside the statement of profit and loss is recognised outside the statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity in correlation to the underlying transaction).

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Goods and Service Tax (GST) paid on acquisition of assets or on incurring expenses

When the tax incurred on purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, the tax paid is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable. Otherwise, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of taxes paid. The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

k. Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section of Impairment of non-financial assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company’s lease liabilities are included in Borrowings.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases that are considered to be of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

l. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year 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.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit (considered in determination of basic earnings per share) after considering the effect of interest and other financing

costs or income (net of attributable taxes) associated with dilutive potential equity shares by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share adjusted for the weighted average number of equity shares that would have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

m. Treasury Shares:

The Company has created an ESOP Trust (Nova Agritech employee welfare trust) which acts as a vehicle to execute its ESOP plan. The ESOP trust is considered as an extension of the Company and the shares held by the ESOP trust are treated as Treasury shares. The ESOP Trust purchases Company’s share from secondary market for issuance to the employees on exercise of the granted stock options. These shares are recognised at cost and are disclosed separately as reduction from Other Equity as treasury shares. No gain or loss in is recognised the Statement of Profit and Loss on purchase, sale, issuance, or cancellation of treasury shares.

n. Segment Reporting:

The Company is engaged in the "manufacture, distribute and marketing bio pesticide products” and the same constitutes a single reportable business segment as per Ind AS 108. And hence segment reporting specified as per IND AS 108 is not applicable.

o. Investment in subsidiary and associate Companies

The Company has elected to recognise its investments in subsidiary and associate companies at cost in accordance with the option available in Ind AS 27, ‘Separate Financial Statements’. Cost includes cash consideration paid on initial recognition, adjusted for embedded derivative and estimated contingent consideration (earn out), if any.

Contingent consideration (earn out) is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

p. Foreign Currency Translation Initial Recognition:

On initial recognition, transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are recorded in the functional currency (i.e. Indian Rupees), by applying to the foreign currency amount, the spot exchange rate between the

functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

Measurement of foreign currency items at reporting date:

Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are translated at the closing exchange rates. Non monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Nonmonetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency, are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is measured.

Exchange differences arising out of foreign exchange translations and settlements during the year are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

q. Borrowing Cost:

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs, if any, directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised, if any. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

r. Events after reporting date:

Where events occurring after the Balance Sheet date provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the impact of such events is adjusted within the Financial Statements. Otherwise, events after the Balance Sheet date of material size or nature are only disclosed.

s. Exceptional items:

An ordinary item of income or expense which by its size, nature, occurrence or incidence requires a disclosure in order to improve understanding of the performance of the Company is treated as an exceptional item in the Statement of Profit and Loss account.

1.3 Application of New Accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31, 2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian

Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 by issuing the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 01, 2023, as below:

Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. Accounting policy information, together with other information, is material when it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions of primary users of general purpose financial statements. The group does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.

Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its standalone financial statements.

Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a change in accounting estimates has been replaced with a definition of accounting estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in Standalone Financial Statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in Standalone Financial Statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its Standalone Financial Statements.

1.4 New Accounting pronouncements

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, bank balances and security deposits.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, without considering impact of derivatives not designated as hedges, as follows:

b. Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments if counterparty default on its obligations.

36. Financial instruments and fair value

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Ind AS financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, as below, 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 fail-value measurement is unobservable.

There has been no transfers between levels during the year. The management has assessed that the carrying values of financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair values are disclosed, reasonably approximate their fair values because these instruments have short-term maturities.
