A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These financial statements have been prepared to comply with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2016.

The Financial Statements are prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees rounded off to the nearest rupees in lacs.

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.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

3. Property, Plant & Equipment

(a) Freehold land is carried at cost. All others items of Property, Plant and equipment have been stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss if any. Cost of acquisition or construction is inclusive of freight, non refundable taxes or Levies, fees and incidental expenses to bring the assets to its present condition and location and interest on loans attributable to the acquisition of assets up to the date of commissioning of assets. Cost of assets not ready for intended use before the year end, are shown as capital -work-in- progress.

(b) The Company is following the useful life by applying straight line method of depreciation as per the useful life specified in part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

On assets sold, discarded etc, during the year depreciation is provided up to the date of sale/discard.

4. Leases

The Company's lease asset classes consist primarily of land and buildings . The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether : (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases.

For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated

from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

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 in the country of domicile of these leases.

Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

5. Intangible Assets

(a) Intangible assets are measured at cost and amortized over their useful life.

(b) Expenditure on Research phase is recognised as an expense when it is incurred.

(c) Expenditure on product development phase is recognised as an Intangible Asset, These assets are amortized over the useful period of life starting from the year when the asset first meets the following recognition criteria:

• The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

• the availability of adequate technical , financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

(d) Derecognition of intangible assets

Ind AS 115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" provides a control-based revenue recognition model and provides a Five step application approach to be followed for revenue recognition.

"1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

2. Identify the performance obligations;

3. Determine the transaction price;

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;

5. Recognise revenue when or as an entity satisfies performance obligation."

"Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, except for the agency services below, because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

Revenue excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties.The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 19 and disclosures of transition approach along with impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 on financial statements are provided in Note 20.1"

9.1 Sale of Goods

"For sale of goods, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred at a point in time i.e. when the goods have been delivered to the specific location (delivery). Following delivery, the customer has full discretion over the responsibility, manner of distribution, price to sell the goods and bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. A receivable is recognised by the Company when the goods are delivered to the customer as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Payment is due within 0-180 days. The Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any)."

If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract."

9.3 Cost to obtain a contract

The Company pays sales commission to its selling agents for as per the agreement. The Company has elected to apply

the optional practical expedient for costs to obtain a contract which allows the Company to immediately expense sales commissions (included in selling and distribution expenses) because the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have used is one year or less.

Costs to fulfil a contract i.e. freight, insurance and other selling expenses are recognized as an expense in the period in which related revenue is recognised.

9.4 Other revenue streams

Export and Other Incentives

"In case of sale made by the Company as Manufacturer, export benefits arising from Duty Entitlement Pass Book(DEPB), Merchandise Export Incentive Scheme, and Focus Market Scheme are recognised on date of actual receipt of such liecense from authority ."
