The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

iii) The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (?) which is the functional currency of the Company. All amounts are rounded to two decimal places to the nearest Lakhs, unless otherwise stated."
ii) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expense during the year. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful receivables, provision for income taxes, the useful lives of depreciable Property, Plant and Equipment and provision for impairment. Future results could differ due to changes in these estimates and the difference between the actual result and the estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known / materialise.
iii) Property, Plant and Equipment (including Capital Work-in-Progress)
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation / amortisation. Costs include all expenses incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition.
Capital Work-in-Progress represents Property, plant and equipment that are not ready for their intended use as at the reporting date."
iv) Depreciation / amortisation
In respect of Property, Plant and Equipment (other than freehold land and capital work-in-progress) acquired during the year, depreciation/amortisation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write-off the cost of the assets over the useful lives.

v) Leases
Assets taken on lease by the Company in its capacity as lessee, where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Such a lease is capitalised at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments and a liability is recognised for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year.
Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are recognised as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis.
vi) Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the management reviews the carrying amounts of its assets included in each cash generating unit to determine whether there is any indication that those assets were impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in the statement of profit and loss.
vii) Investments
Long-term investments and current maturities of long-term investments are stated at cost, less provision for other than temporary diminution in value. Current investments, except for current maturities of long-term investments, comprising investments in mutual funds, government securities and bonds are stated at the lower of cost and fair value.
viii) Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of the contract with the customer. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership, risk of obsolescence and loss pass to the customer and the Company has the present right to payment. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discount and volume rebates, and goods and service tax.
Dividend is recorded when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Rent on immovable properties is recognised on accrual basis as per the agreement with the party.
ix) Taxation
Current income tax expense comprises taxes on income from operations in India and in foreign jurisdictions. Income taxpayable in India is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax expense relating to foreign operations is determined in accordance with tax laws applicable in countries where
such operations are domiciled.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax after the tax holiday period. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will fructify.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognised on timing differences being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and is likely to reverse in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if it has a legally enforceable right and these relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
x) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities other than net investments in non-integral foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date and exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Exchange difference arising on a monetary item that, in substance, forms part of an enterprise's net investments in a non-integral foreign operation are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve.
xi) Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, packing materials, and finished goods. Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sales.
Cost is determined on Standard cost basis.
Cost of raw materials and packing materials includes cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost finished goods includes direct materials, labor and proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, wherever applicable. The cost of finished goods includes other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition."
xii) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
xiii) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amount of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of twelve months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
xiv) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
xv) Employee Benefits
a) Short-term benefits
Short-term benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related
service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
b) Defined contribution plans
The Company makes defined contributions to the Government Employee Provident Fund, which is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, on an accrual basis. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense when an employee renders the related service. The Company has no obligation other than the contribution payable to the provident fund.
c) Defined benefit plans
The Company's liabilities under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of each financial year using the projected unit credit method.
The Gratuity obligation is unfunded. Obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discounted rate that is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Government bonds, where the terms of the Government bonds are consistent with the estimated terms of the defined benefit obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the defined benefit obligation. This cost is included in the 'Employee benefits expense' in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
