Accounting Policies of Solara Active Pharma Sciences Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2.1 Material accounting policies

(i) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements have
been prepared to comply in all material aspects
with the ''Indian Accounting Standards'' ("Ind AS")
notified under Section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013(the "Act") read with Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and
relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, as
applicable to the Company, and other relevant
provisions of the Act.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The standalone financial statements have
been prepared on the historical cost basis
except for certain financial instruments which
are measured at fair value as described in
the accounting policies below. Historical cost
is generally based on the fair value of the
consideration given in exchange of assets.

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,
regardless of whether that price is directly
observable or estimated using another
valuation technique. In estimating the fair value
of an asset or a liability, the company takes

into account the characteristics of the asset or
liability if market participants would take those
characteristics into account when pricing the
asset or liability at the measurement date.

Accounting policies have been consistently
applied except where a newly issued
accounting standard is initially adopted or a
revision to an existing accounting standard
requires a change in the accounting policy
hitherto in use.

Going Concern

The Company has significantly reduced losses
for the year ended March 31, 2025 as compared
to previous year ended March 31, 2024, it has
accumulated losses of ''316.00 crores and its
net current liabilities exceed its net current
assets by ''209.47 crores as of March 31, 2025.

To mitigate the situation and adequately fund
its operations, the Company has received a
partial amount of ''157.48 crores out of ''449.95
crores from existing shareholders under the
rights issue during the year ended March 31,
2025. After year-end, the Company made
the first call on 35% of the face value, raising
''157.48 crores with the remaining funds of
''134.99 crores to be called as needed. The
Company expects to renew its working capital
facilities, as and when required, in the normal
course of business and also increase revenues
and margins on its products and accordingly
expects to continue to have cash inflows from
operations in amounts that are adequate
enough to meet all future obligations as they
fall due. Based on the above, the Board of
directors have approved the preparation of the
financial statements on a going concern basis.

(iii) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the amount of
consideration which the Company expects
to be entitled to in exchange for transferring
distinct goods or services to a customer as
specified in the contract, excluding amounts
collected on behalf of third parties (for example
taxes and duties collected on behalf of the
government) and is recorded net of provisions
for sales discounts and returns, which are
established at the time of sale. Consideration is
generally due upon satisfaction of performance
obligations and a receivable is recognized when
it becomes unconditional.

Sale of goods

The Company receives revenue for supply of
pharmaceutical products to external customers
against orders received. The majority of
these contracts contain single performance
obligation for supply of goods. The average
duration of a customers'' order is less than
12 months.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon
transfer of control to the customer. The point
at which control passes depends on the terms
set forth in the customer''s contract. Generally,
the control is transferred upon shipment of the
product to the customer or when the product
is made available to the customer, provided
transfer of title to the customer occurs and the
Company has not retained any significant risks
of ownership or future obligations with respect
to the product sold.

Sale of services

Revenue from development services is
recognised on achievement of a development
milestone and when it is highly probable that a
significant reversal in the amount of cumulative
revenue recognised will not occur.

Share of Profit

Share of profits under manufacturing and
supply agreements with customers are accrued
based on sales as confirmed by the customers.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is
recognised when it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the amount of income can be measured
reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time
basis, by reference to the principal outstanding
and at the effective interest rate applicable,
which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the
expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s
net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(v) Export Incentives

Export incentives are accrued for based on
fulfilment of eligibility criteria for availing the
incentives and when there is no uncertainty in
receiving the same. These incentives include
estimated realisable values/benefits from
special import licenses and benefits under
specified schemes as applicable.

(vi) Leases

The Company as lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor
is classified as a finance or operating lease.
Whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee, the contract is
classified as a finance lease. All other leases are
classified as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor,
it accounts for its interests in the head lease
and the sublease separately. The sublease is
classified as a finance or operating lease by
reference to the right-of-use asset arising from
the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is
recognized on a straight line basis over the
term of the relevant lease.

The Company as lessee

The Company at the inception of the lease
contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) .The
Company assesses, whether the contract is, or
contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a
lease if the contract involves-

(a) the use of an identified asset,

(b) the right to obtain substantially all the
economic benefits from use of the
identified asset, and

(c) the right to direct the use of the
identified asset.

The Company at the inception of the lease
contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset
at cost and corresponding lease liability, except
for leases with term of less than twelve months
(short term) and low-value assets.

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises
the amount of the initial measurement of
the lease liability, any lease payments made
at or before the inception date of the lease
plus any initial direct costs, less any lease
incentives received. Subsequently, the right-
of-use assets is measured at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use
assets is depreciated using the straight-line
method from the commencement date over
the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-
of-use assets.

The lease liability is initially measured at
amortized cost at the present value of the
future lease payments. The lease payments
are discounted using the interest rate implicit
in the lease or, if not readily determinable,
using the incremental borrowing rates. Lease
liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding
adjustment to the related right of use asset
if the Company changes its assessment if
whether it will exercise an extension or a
termination option.

For short-term and low value leases, the
Company recognizes the lease payments as
an operating expense on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.

[vii) Foreign currencies transactions and
translation

Items included in the standalone financial
statements of the entity are measured
using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates
(''the functional currency''). The financial
statements are presented in Indian Rupee
(INR), which is the Company''s functional and
presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded
at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the functional currency closing
rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or
translation of monetary items are recognised
in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the
extent of exchange differences which are
regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on
foreign currency borrowings that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or construction
of qualifying assets, are capitalized as cost
of assets.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are
measured in terms of historical cost in foreign
currencies are not retranslated. Income and
expense items in foreign currency are translated
at the average exchange rates for the period,
unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly
during that period, in which case the exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

(viii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include:

(i) interest expense calculated using the
effective interest rate method,

(ii) finance charges in respect of finance
leases, and

(iii) exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent that
they are regarded as an adjustment to
interest 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 those assets, until such
time as the assets are substantially ready for
their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary
investment of specific borrowings pending
their expenditure on qualifying assets is
deducted from the borrowing costs eligible
for capitalisation.

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

(ix) Employee benefits

Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including other
benefits that are expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period
in which the employees render the related
services are recognised in respect of employees''
services up to the end of the reporting period
and are measured at the amounts expected to
be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Retirement benefit costs and termination
benefits

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost
of providing benefits is determined using the
projected unit credit method, with actuarial
valuations being carried out at the end of each
annual reporting period. Remeasurement,
comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect
of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable)
and the return on plan assets (excluding net
interest), is reflected immediately in the balance

sheet with a charge or credit recognised in
other comprehensive income in the period in
which they occur. Remeasurement recognised
in other comprehensive income is reflected
immediately in retained earnings and is not
reclassified to statement of profit and loss. Past
service cost is recognised in statement of profit
and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net
interest is calculated by applying the discount
rate at the beginning of the period to the
net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined
benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• service cost (including current service
cost, past service cost, as well as gains and
losses on curtailments and settlements);

• net interest expense or income; and

• remeasurement

The Company presents the first two
components of defined benefit costs in
statement of profit and loss in the line item
‘Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment
gains and losses are accounted for as past
service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised
in the standalone balance sheet represents
the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s
defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting
from this calculation is limited to the present
value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plans or reductions in
future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised
at the earlier of when the entity can no longer
withdraw the offer of the termination benefit
and when the entity recognises any related
restructuring costs.

Defined contribution plan

Contribution to defined contribution plans
are recognised as expense when employees
have rendered services entitling them to
such benefits.

Compensated absences

Compensated absences which are not
expected to occur within twelve months after
the end of the period in which the employee
renders the related services are recognised at
an actuarially determined liability at the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the
Balance sheet date. In respect of compensated
absences expected to occur within twelve

months after the end of the period in which
the employee renders the related services,
liability for short-term employee benefits is
measured at the undiscounted amount of the
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for
the related service.

(x) Taxation

The income tax expense or credit for the year
is the tax payable on the current year''s taxable
income, based on the applicable income
tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by the
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
attributable to temporary differences.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable
profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from
‘profit before tax’ as reported in the standalone
statement of profit and loss because of items
of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and items that are
never taxable or deductible. The Company’s
current tax is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the standalone financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases
used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised
for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred
tax assets are generally recognised for all
deductible temporary differences and unused
tax losses to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profits will be available against which
those deductible temporary differences and
losses can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary
difference arises from the initial recognition
(other than in a business combination) of
assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting
profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities
and assets reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the end of the reporting
period, to recover or settle the carrying amount
of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate
Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws
in India, which is likely to give future economic
benefits in the form of availability of set-off
against future tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is
recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance
sheet when the asset can be measured reliably
and it is probable that the future economic
benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities
are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to set off the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle the asset and the
liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and
deferred tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off assets
against liabilities representing current tax and
where the deferred tax assets and the deferred
tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by
the same governing taxation laws.

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in
statement of profit and loss, except when they
relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity,
in which case, the current and deferred tax
are also recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity respectively.

xi) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for
use in the production or supply of goods
or services, or for administrative purposes,
are stated in the balance sheet at cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.

Properties in the course of construction for
production, supply or administrative purposes
are carried at cost, less any recognised
impairment loss. Cost includes professional

fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs
capitalised in accordance with the Company’s
accounting policy. Such properties are classified
to the appropriate categories of property, plant
and equipment when completed and ready
for intended use. Depreciation of these assets,
on the same basis as other property assets,
commences when the assets are ready for their
intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off
the cost of assets (other than freehold land
and properties under construction) less their
residual values over their useful lives, using the
straight-line method. 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.

Assets held under finance leases are
depreciated over their expected useful lives
on the same basis as owned assets. However,
when there is no reasonable certainty that
ownership will be obtained by the end of the
lease term, assets are depreciated over the
shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation on Property, plant and equipment
has been provided on the straight-line method
as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to
the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of
the following categories of assets, in whose case
the life of the assets has been assessed to be
different and are as under based on technical
advice, taking into account the nature of the
asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the
operating conditions of the asset, past history
of replacement, anticipated technological
changes, manufacturers warranties and
maintenance support, etc.

Building : 10 - 60 years

Plant & Machinery : 8 - 20 years

Vehicles : 5 years

Office Equipment : 3 - 5 years

Individual assets costing less than ''5,000 are
depreciated in full in the year of purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from
the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss

arising on the disposal or retirement of an item
of property, plant and equipment is determined
as the difference between the sales proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognised in statement of profit and loss.

(xii) Investment property

Properties that is held for long-term rentals
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. Subsequent expenditure
is capitalised to the asset''s carrying amount
only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the expenditure
will flow to the company and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other
repairs and maintenance costs are expensed
when incurred. When part of the investment
property is replaced, the carrying amount of
the replaced part is derecognised.

Investment property are depreciated using the
straight line method over their estimated useful
lives. Investment properties generally have a
useful life of 25-40 years. The useful life has
been determined based on technical evaluation
performed by the management''s expert.

(xiii) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that
are acquired separately are carried at cost less
accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised
on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives. The estimated useful life and
amortisation method are reviewed at the
end of each reporting period, with the effect
of any changes in estimate being accounted
for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives that are acquired
separately are carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired in a business
combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business
combination and recognised separately from
goodwill are initially recognised at their fair
value at the acquisition date (which is regarded
as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible
assets acquired in a business combination are
reported at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses, on
the same basis as intangible assets that are
acquired separately.

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, measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset, are recognised in statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised over their
estimated useful life on straight line method
as follows:

Product portfolio : 10 years

Software Licenses : 3 - 5 years

Registration and brands : 5 - 10 years

iv) Impairment of assets

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses at each date of balance
sheet, whether a financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires
expected credit losses to be measured through
a loss allowance. The Company recognises
lifetime expected losses for all contract
assets and / or all trade receivables that do
not constitute a financing transaction. For all
other financial assets, expected credit losses
are measured at an amount equal to the
twelve-month expected credit losses or at an
amount equal to the life time expected credit
losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has
increased significantly, since initial recognition.

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of
investments in subsidiaries at cost, annually, or
more frequently when there is an indication for
impairment. If the recoverable amount is less
than its carrying amount, the impairment loss
is accounted for.

Impairment of goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing,
goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units.
The allocation is made to those cash generating
units or groups of cash generating units that

are expected to benefit from the business
combination in which such goodwill arose.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill
has been allocated is tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently when there is an
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit is less than its carrying amount, the
impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to
the unit and then to the other assets of the
unit pro rata based on the carrying amount
of each asset in the unit. Any impairment
loss for goodwill is recognised directly in
statement of profit and loss. An impairment
loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating
unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is
included in the determination of the profit or
loss on disposal.

Impairment of non-financial assets other
than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the
Company reviews the carrying amounts of its
tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those
assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the recoverable amount
of the asset is estimated in order to determine
the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When
it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the Company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash¬
generating unit to which the asset belongs.
When a reasonable and consistent basis of
allocation can be identified, corporate assets
are also allocated to individual cash-generating
units, or otherwise they are allocated to the
smallest group of cash-generating units for
which a reasonable and consistent allocation
basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
and intangible assets not yet available for use
are tested for impairment at least annually, and
whenever there is an indication that the asset
may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value
less costs of disposal and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future
cash flows are discounted to their present

value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset for
which the estimates of future cash flows have
not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash¬
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to
its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is
recognised immediately in statement of profit
and loss.

(xv) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
and the net realisable value after providing
for obsolescence and other losses, where
considered necessary. Cost includes all
charges in bringing the goods to the point
of sale, including octroi and other levies,
transit insurance and receiving charges.
Work-in-progress and finished goods include
appropriate proportion of overheads. Cost is
determined as follows:

Raw materials, packing materials and
consumables: weighted average basis

Work-in progress: at material cost and an
appropriate share of production overheads

Finished goods: material cost and an
appropriate share of production overheads

Stock-in trade: weighted average basis

2.1 Material accounting policies

(i) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the ''Indian Accounting Standards'' ("Ind AS") notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013(the "Act") read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, as applicable to the Company, and other relevant provisions of the Act.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value as described in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange of assets.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the company takes

into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses of '' 566.87 crores for the year ended March 31,2024 which includes certain costs accounted due to one time/exceptional in nature as indicated in note 35. Whilst, the Company has cash inflow from operations of ''110.95 crores for the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company''s net current liabilities exceed its net current assets by '' 447.00 crores as at March 31, 2024.

To mitigate the situation and in order to adequately fund its operations, the Company has proposed a Rights issue (refer note 52) under which it expects to raise funds aggregating to '' 449.95 crores which has also been underwritten by the Promoter group which will be utilized for debt reduction and expansion projects. The Company expects to renew its working capital facilities, as and when required, in the normal course of business and also increase revenues and margins on its products and accordingly expects to continue to have cash inflows from operations in amounts that are adequate enough to meet all future obligations as they fall due. Based on the above, the Board of directors have approved the preparation of the standalone financial statements on a going concern basis.

(iii) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer as specified in the contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government) and is recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale. Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognized when it becomes unconditional.

Sale of goods

The Company receives revenue for supply of pharmaceutical products to external customers against orders received. The majority of these contracts contain single performance obligation for supply of goods. The average duration of a customers'' order is less than 12 months.

evenue from sale of goods is recognised upon transfer of control to the customer. The point at which control passes depends on the terms set forth in the customer''s contract. Generally, the control is transferred upon shipment of the product to the customer or when the product is made available to the customer, provided transfer of title to the customer occurs and the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or future obligations with respect to the product sold.

Sale of services

Revenue from development services is recognised on achievement of a development milestone and when it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

Share of Profit

Share of profits under manufacturing and supply agreements with customers are accrued based on sales as confirmed by the customers.

(iv) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(v) Export Incentives

Export incentives are accrued for based on fulfillment of eligibility criteria for availing the incentives and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same. These incentives include estimated realisable values/benefits from special import licenses and benefits under specified schemes as applicable.

(vi) Leases

The Company as lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Company as lessee

The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) .The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves-

(a) the use of an identified asset,

(b) t he right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and

(c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) and low-value assets.

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Items included in the standalone financial statements of the entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (''the functional currency''). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company''s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, are capitalized as cost of assets.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated. Income and expense items in foreign currency are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

(viii) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include:

(i) interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method,

(ii) finance charges in respect of finance leases, and

(iii) exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest 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 those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

(ix) Employee benefits Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including other benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance

sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss. Past service cost is recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• s ervice cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

• net interest expense or income; and

• remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in statement of profit and loss in the line item ''Employee benefits expense''. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the standalone balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company''s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Defined contribution plan

Contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits.

Compensated absences

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised at an actuarially determined liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the

Balance sheet date. In respect of compensated absences expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services, liability for short-term employee benefits is measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

(x) Taxation

The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income, based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from ''profit before tax'' as reported in the standalone statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company''s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set-off against future tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(xi) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company''s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. 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.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed to be different and are as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:

Building : 10 - 60 years

Plant & Machinery : 8 - 20 years

Vehicles : 5 years

Office Equipment : 3 - 5 years"

Individual assets costing less than '' 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

(xii) Investment property

Properties that is held for long-term rentals 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. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset''s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of the investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Investment property are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have a useful life of 25-40 years. The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation performed by the management''s expert.

(xiii) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any

changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

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, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line method as follows:

Product portfolio : 10 years

Software Licenses : 3 - 5 years

Registration and brands : 5 - 10 years"

(xiv) Impairment of assets

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet, whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly, since initial recognition.

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of investments in subsidiaries at cost, annually, or more frequently when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.

Impairment of goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which such goodwill arose.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for

which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

(xv) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, packing materials and consumables: weighted average basis

Work-in progress: at material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Finished goods: material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Stock-in trade: weighted average basis

1 BACKGROUND

Solara Active Pharma Sciences Limited (hereinafter referred as "the Company”) is a public limited Company incorporated on February 23, 2017 under the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 with the object of, inter alia, undertaking the business of manufacturing, production, processing, formulating, sale, import, export, merchandising, distributing, trading of and dealing in active pharmaceutical ingredients. The Company has its registered address at 201, Devavrata, Sector 17, Vashi, Navi Mumbai 400 703.

The standalone financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on May 12, 2023.

These financial statements comprise the Standalone Balance sheet of the Company, Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income) and Standalone Cash flow statement, Standalone statement of changes in equity and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together the "standalone financial statements).

2.1 Significant accounting policies

(i) Statement of compliance

These standalone financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the ‘Indian Accounting Standards’ ("Ind AS”) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013(the "Act”) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, as applicable to the Company, and other relevant provisions of the Act.

(ii) Basis of measurement

The standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value as described in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange of assets.

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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the company takes

into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

(iii) Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses (other than business combination between common control) are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange of control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.

Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for using the pooling of interests method. The net assets of the transferor entity or business are accounted at their carrying amounts on the date of the acquisition subject to necessary adjustments required to harmonise accounting policies. Retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with the corresponding balance appearing in the

financial statements of the transferee. Identity of the reserves appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is preserved and appears in the financial statements of the transferee in the same form. Any excess or shortfall of the consideration paid over the share capital of transferor entity or business is recognised as capital reserve under equity.

(iv) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

(v) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring distinct goods or services to a customer as specified in the contract, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government) and is recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale. Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognized when it becomes unconditional. Where the collection of accounts receivable is expected to be after one year from the date of sale, revenues are discounted for the time value of money.

Sale of goods

The Company receives revenue for supply of pharmaceutical products to external customers against orders received. The majority of these contracts contain single performance obligation for supply of goods. The average duration of a customers’ order is less than 12 months.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon transfer of control to the customer. The point at which control passes depends on the terms set forth in the customer’s contract. Generally, the control is transferred upon shipment of the product to the customer or when the product is made available to the customer, provided transfer of title to the customer occurs and the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or future obligations with respect to the product sold.

Sale of services

Revenue from development services is recognised on achievement of a development milestone and when it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

Revenue from fixed-price, fixed time frame contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied overtime is recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified period unless some other method better represents the stage of completion, provided there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of the consideration.

Share of Profit and Royalties

Share of profits and royalty incomes under manufacturing and supply agreements with customers are accrued based on sales as confirmed by the customers.

(vi) Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(vii) Export Incentives

Export incentives are accrued for based on fulfillment of eligibility criteria for availing the incentives and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same. These incentives include estimated realisable values/benefits from special import licenses and benefits under specified schemes as applicable.

(viii) Leases

The Company as lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Contracts in which all the risks and rewards of the lease are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Leases, for which the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head-lease and sub-lease as two separate contracts.

The sub-lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the head-lease.

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Company as lessee

The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract involves-

(a) the use of an identified asset,

(b) the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and

(c) the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

The Company has entered into lease arrangements for its factory land and office premises. The Company at the inception of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (RoU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term) and low-value assets.

The cost of the right-of-use assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use assets.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

For short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ix) Foreign currencies transactions and translation

I tems included in the standalone financial statements of the entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (H), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, are capitalized as cost of assets.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated. Income and expense items in foreign currency are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

(x) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include:

(i) interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method,

(ii) finance charges in respect of finance leases, and

(iii) exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest 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 those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

(xi) Employee benefits

Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including other benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected

immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss. Past service cost is recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

- service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

- net interest expense or income; and

- remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in statement of profit and loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the standalone balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Defined contribution plan

Contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits.

Compensated absences

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised at an actuarially determined liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the Balance sheet date. In respect of compensated absences expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services, liability for shortterm employee benefits is measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

(xii) Taxation

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

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the standalone statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set-off against future tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(xiii) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s

accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. 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.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed to be different and are as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:

Building	: 10 - 60 years
Plant & Machinery	: 8 - 20 years
Vehicles	: 5 years
Office Equipment	: 3 - 5 years

Individual assets costing less than H 5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

(xiv) Investment property

Properties that is held for long-term rentals 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. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of the investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Investment property are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have a useful life of 25-40 years. The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation performed by the management’s expert.

(xv) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

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, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line method as follows:

Product portfolio	: 10 years
Software Licenses	: 3 - 5 years
Registration and brands	: 5 - 10 years

(xvi) Impairment of assets

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet, whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly, since initial recognition.

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of investments in subsidiaries at cost, annually, or more frequently when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.

Impairment of goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which such goodwill arose.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating

unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

I ntangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cashgenerating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the

asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

(xvii) Inventories

I nventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, packing materials and consumables: weighted average basis

Work-in progress: at material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Finished goods: material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Stock-in trade: weighted average basis

(xviii) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as

provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

(xix) Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in notes when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(xx) Financial instruments

Investment in subsidiaries

The Company has accounted for its investments in subsidiaries at cost less impairment.

Other financial assets and financial liabilities

Other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Initial recognition and measurement:

Other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

Subsequent measurement:

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate 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.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

The Company derecognises the financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cashflows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset to the other entity . If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset , the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and associated liability for the amounts it may have to pay . If the Company retains substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of a transferred financial asset , the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collaterized borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities are derecognised when these are extinguished , that is when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognised by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received net off direct issue cost.

(xxi) Operating Cycle

Based on the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months. The above basis is used for classifying the assets and liabilities into current and non-current as the case may be.

(xxii) Dividend and dividend distribution tax

Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees and are subject to applicable distribution taxes. The applicable distribution taxes are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distribution to owners and accordingly, recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events.

The Finance Act 2020 has abolished the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) and has shifted the tax liability on dividends to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Company distributes the dividend after deducting the taxes at applicable rates

(xxiii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Impairment of goodwill and other nonfinancial assets

Determining whether the asset is impaired requires to assess the recoverable amount of the asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) which is compared to the carrying amount of the asset or CGU, as applicable. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal

and value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This assessment may result in change in the depreciation expense in future periods.

Defined benefit plans and compensated absences:

The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. 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.

Income taxes

Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods.

Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realisable, however, could reduce in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

Controlling parties assessment

The Company perform assessment for identification of controlling parties. The assessment involves judgements which included consideration of controlling parties’ absolute size of holding in the Company, determination of whether other parties are acting on the investor’s behalf, determination of whether parties have the practical ability to exercise that right and the relative size of and dispersion of the shareholdings owned by the other shareholders.

Litigations

The Company is a party to certain direct and indirect tax disputes. Uncertain tax items for which a provision is made relate principally to the interpretation of tax legislation applicable to arrangements entered into by the Company. Due to the uncertainty associated with such tax items, it is possible that, on conclusion of open tax matters at a future date, the final outcome may differ significantly.

Leases under Ind AS 116:

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.

1.1 Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These standalone Ind AS financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the ‘Indian Accounting Standards’ (“Ind AS”) notified under Section 1 33 of the Companies Act, 2013(the “Act”) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter, as applicable to the Company, and other relevant provisions of the Act. Refer Note 35 for details of accounting for the Composite Scheme of Arrangement approved by National Company Law Tribunal.

Basis of measurement

The Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value as described in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair

value ofthe consideration given in exchange of assets. 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange of control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the following conditions are satisfied:

the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer as per the terms of arrangement with buyer;

the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sale to Distributors

The Company appoints distributors in various territories who purchases the goods from the Company and thereafter sells them in the territory. In case the distributor is acting as an agent, the Company defers revenue recognition till the time goods are sold by the distributor to the end customer. On the other hand, if the distributor is principal, revenue is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the distributor.

Price Variations / Incentives

Incentives are accounted based on the assessment of whether the beneficiary (of the incentive) is acting as a principal or an agent. Where the beneficiary is a principal, the incentive is regarded as consideration paid to the customer and is reduced from revenue. However, where the beneficiary is an agent, the incentive payment is recognised as an expense as the same is in the nature of commission.

Rendering of services

Revenue from product development services:

(i) I n respect of contracts where the Company undertakes to develop products for its customers (on an end-to end basis), revenues are recognised based on technical estimates of the stage of work completed under the contracts.

(ii) In respect of other contracts where the Company performs specifically identified services in the development of the products, revenues are recognised on the basis of the performance milestones provided in the contract.

Revenue from contract manufacturing is recognised based on the services rendered in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Income from rendering advisory / support services is recognised based on contractual terms.

Interest income

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Export Incentives

Export incentives are accrued for based on fulfillment of eligibility criteria for availing the incentives and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same. These incentives include estimated realisable values/benefits from special import licenses and benefits under specified schemes as applicable.

Leasing

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.

The Company as lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company as 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. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Company’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the period in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

I n the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Foreign currencies transactions and translation

I tems included in the Standalone Ind AS financial statements of the entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent of exchange differences which are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, are capitalized as cost of assets.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated. Income and expense items in foreign currency are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs include:

(i) interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method,

(ii) finance charges in respect of finance leases, and

(iii) exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest 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 those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

Employee benefits

Short term obligations

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including other benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related services are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss. Past service cost is recognised in statement of profit and loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);

net interest expense or income; and

remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in statement of profit and loss in the line item ‘Employee benefits expense’. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the standalone balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Defined contribution plan

Contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to such benefits.

Compensated absences

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised at an actuarially determined liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the Balance sheet date. In respect of compensated absences expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services, liability for short-term employee benefits is measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Taxation

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

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the standalone statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

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

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

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set-off against future tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax are recognised in statement of profit and loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

The non refundable payments made with respect to Land taken on finance lease (where there is an option to purchase the same at the end of the lease period) is classified under Property, plant and Equipment as “Lease hold Land”.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method.

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.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed to be different and are as under based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.:

Dies and moulds : 4 years

Mobile phone : 3 years

Vehicles : 5 years

Individual assets costing less than Rs.5,000 are depreciated in full in the year of purchase.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

Investment property

Properties that is held for long-term rentals 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. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of the investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

Investment property are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have a useful life of 25-40 years. The useful life has been determined based on technical evaluation performed by the management’s expert.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

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, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on straight line method as follows:

Product portfolio : 10 years

Software Licenses : 3 - 5 years

Impairment of assets Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet, whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognises lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly, since initial recognition.

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries

The Company reviews its carrying value of investments in subsidiaries at cost, annually, or more frequently when there is an indication for impairment. If the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is accounted for.

Impairment of goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which such goodwill arose.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

I ntangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads. Cost is determined as follows:

Raw materials, packing materials and consumables: weighted average basis

Work-in progress: at material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Finished goods: material cost and an appropriate share of production overheads

Stock-in trade: weighted average basis

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

Onerous contracts

Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as provisions. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Company has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in notes when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

Financial instruments

Investment in subsidiaries

The Company has accounted for its investments in subsidiaries at cost less impairment.

Other financial assets and financial liabilities

Other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Initial recognition and measurement:

Other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.

Subsequent measurement:

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income on initial recognition. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest rate 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.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities:

The Company derecognises the financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cashflows from the asset expires or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset to the other entity . If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset , the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and associated liability for the amounts it may have to pay . If the Company retains substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of a transferred financial asset , the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collaterized borrowing for the proceeds recieved. Financial liabilities are derecognised when these are extingushed , that is when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or has expired.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognised by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received net off direct issue cost.

Operating Cycle

Based on the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months. The above basis is used for classifying the assets and liabilities into current and non-current as the case may be.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Impairment of goodwill and other non-financial assets

Determining whether the asset is impaired requires to assess the recoverable amount of the asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) which is compared to the carrying amount of the asset or CGU, as applicable. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. This assessment may result in change in the depreciation expense in future periods.

Litigations

The Company is a party to certain indirect tax disputes. Uncertain tax items for which a provision is made relate principally to the interpretation of tax legislation applicable to arrangements entered into by the Company. Due to the uncertainty associated with such tax items, it is possible that, on conclusion of open tax matters at a future date, the final outcome may differ significantly.

Standards / amendments not yet effective

Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers

On March 28, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

1) Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8- Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

2) Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach). The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018.

The Company is currently assessing the impact on adoption of this standard.

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration On March 28, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force for periods beginning on or after April 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this on the financial statements.
