1. Material Accounting Policies followed by the Company a) Basis of Preparation
(i) Compliance with Ind AS
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act') read with of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.
These standalone financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company's Board of Directors
on May 22, 2025.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:
• Certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value;
• Defined benefit plans - Plan assets measured at fair value;
(iii) Current non-current classification
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle (twelve months) and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act.
(iv) Rounding of amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated. b) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Management at each reporting date reviews estimates and underlying assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision of these estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.
Following are the critical judgements and estimates:
Critical judgments:
a. Taxes on Income:
Significant judgements are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgement 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. The recognition of taxes that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances.
b. Employee benefits:
Significant judgments are involved in making estimates about the life expectancy discounting rate, salary increase, etc. which significantly affect the working of the present value of the future liabilities on account of the employee benefits by way of defined benefit plans.
c. Product warranty and expiry claims:
Significant judgments are involved in determining the estimated stock lying in the market with product shelf life and estimates of likely claims on account of expiry of such unsold goods lying with stockists.
d. Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Significant judgment is involved in determining the estimated future cash flows from Property, Plant and Equipment to determine their value in use to assess whether there is any impairment in their carrying amounts as reflected in the financials.
e. Contingent liabilities:
Significant judgment is involved in determining whether there is a possible obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources.
Critical estimates:
a. Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Management reviews the residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment at the end of each reporting period and any revision to these is recognised prospectively in current and future periods. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.
b. Sales Return
The Company accounts for sales returns accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company's estimate of expected sales returns. Accordingly, the estimate of sales returns is determined primarily by the Company's historical experience in the markets in which the Company operates.
c. Segment Reporting
The Company has only one business segment i.e Pharmaceutical Products.
d. Foreign Currency Translation
i. Functional and presentation currency
The Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees (INR) which is the functional and presentation currency.
ii. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.
Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other gains / (losses).
e. Revenue Recognition
The company derives major portion of its revenue from manufacturing and marketing of Formulations (Finished Dosage Forms) and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). Other sources of revenue include Dossiers development, Analytical Studies and Bio-equivalent studies undertaken by the company on behalf of customers.
With effect from April 1,2018, the company has adopted Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The company analysed the impact of Ind AS on incomplete contracts, if any and concluded that the effect of adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant.
Recognising revenue from major business activities
i. Sale of goods - FDF and API
Revenue from sale of FDF and API are recognised when the performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with Ind AS 115. Performance obligations are deemed to have been satisfied when substantial risk and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the promised goods. In case of domestic sales, performance obligations are satisfied when goods are dispatched, or delivery is handed over to the transporter. In case of export sales, performance obligations are satisfied based on terms defined in the contracts. In case of Ex-works contracts, performance obligation is satisfied when goods are shipped or dispatched from the factory and in other cases when the goods are shipped on board based on Bill of Lading/ Airway Bill or any other similar document evidencing delivery thereof.
ii. Revenue from services
Services provided include Dossiers development, Analytical Studies and Bio-equivalent studies undertaken by the company on behalf of customers.
The contracts with customers for Dossiers and study reports are fixed-price contracts. Revenue from such contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no significant uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognised based on the terms agreed with the customers.
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. The effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the entity's measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification (i.e. the adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis).
iii. Other operating revenue - Export incentives
Revenue from Export Incentives under various schemes is recognised when the performance obligations are satisfied i.e. when the related export sales are effected.
iv. Sales Return
The Company recognises provision for sales return, on the basis of past experience, measured on net basis of the margin of the sales. Any unutilised provision for sales return is reversed to the Statement of Profit and Loss on completion of 3 years from the date of creation.
f. Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non¬ current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to Profit and Loss on a straight - line basis over the expected lives of related assets and presented within other income.
g. Income Tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in the financial statement. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are excepted to apply when the related deferred income tax assets is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses, only if, it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
h. Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the
• fair values of the assets transferred;
• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business;
• equity interests issued by the Company; and
• Fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of the
• consideration transferred;
• amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
• acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as capital reserve provided there is clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase. In other cases, the bargain purchase gain is recognised directly in equity as capital reserve.
i. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
j. Cash Flow Statements
Cash flows are prepared using the indirect method, whereby net profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of company are segregated.
k. Inventories
Inventories of Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress, Stores and Spares, Finished Goods and Stock-in-trade are stated 'at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower'. Goods-in-Transit are stated' at cost'. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost formulas used are-'Weighted Average Cost'. Due allowance is estimated and made for defective and obsolete items, wherever necessary.
l. Non-Current Assets held for Sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal Company classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
m. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts, option contracts and cross currency swaps, to hedge its foreign currency risks are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period when they arise.
n. Property, Plant and Equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost includes purchase price, non-refundable taxes, levies, and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 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. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at April 1,2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of certain leased furniture, fittings and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:
The management believes that useful lives currently used is as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
o. Intangible Assets
i. Computer Software
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Company are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
• It is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use
• Management intends to complete the software and use it
• There is an ability to use the software
• It can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits
/
• Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use the software are available, and
• The expenditure attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured. Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software include employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point at which the asset is available for use.
ii. ANDA / DMFs / Dossiers
All revenue expenditure incurred till the development of ANDAs / DMFs / Dossiers etc. are grouped under intangible assets under development. Once the development is complete, the expenditures incurred on the said project is capitalised & grouped under "Intangible Assets" and amortised based on best estimated commercial revenue period, not exceeding 5 years. The carrying value of the capitalised project is reviewed for impairment annually.
iii. Amortisation methods and periods
The Company amortises intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the following periods:
p. Research and Development Expenditure
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:
- development costs can be measured reliably;
- the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;
- future economic benefits are probable; and
- the company intends to, and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
q. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at net of transaction costs incurred and measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
r. Borrowing Costs
Interest and other borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised. Other interest and borrowing costs are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
