2. Significant Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the company have been prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)(Amendment) Rules, 2015 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).
These financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period as stated in the accounting policies. The accounting policies have been applied consistently over all the periods presented in these financial statements.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments’, estimates and assumptions:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IND AS requires the management to make estimates, judgments’ and assumptions. These judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these financial statements have been disclosed below. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those 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.
2.3 Current versus non - current classification:
All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non - current as per the Company’s operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of the products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non - current classification of assets and liabilities.
2.1 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)
• PPE are recognized 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. PPE (other than Freehold land and Capital Work-in¬ progress) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price, non¬ refundable purchase taxes and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any. Cost includes qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the company’s accounting policy.
• If significant parts of an item of PPE have different useful lives, then those are accounted as separate items (major components) of PPE.
• Material items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and service equipment are classified as and when they meet the definition of PPE, as specified in IND AS 16 on “Property, Plant and Equipment”.
• The carrying amount of an item of PPE, derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefit is expected to arise from its continued use. Any gain or loss arising on the recognition of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Capital Work-in-Progress
Property, Plant and Equipment which are not ready for intended use on the date of balance sheet are disclosed as capital work-in-progress. It is carried at cost, such properties are classified and capitalized to the appropriate categories of Property, Plant and Equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, will be provided on the same basis as other property assets are ready for their intended use.
2.2 Depreciation
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment (other than Freehold Land and Capital Work-in-progress) is provided on the Straight-Line Method in accordance with requirements prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The Company has assessed the estimated useful lives of its PPE and has adopted the useful lives and residual value as prescribed therein.
Land under finance lease is amortised over the period of lease.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any change in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
2.3 Intangible Assets and Amortisation
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated Amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis as per Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013.
The estimated useful life and amortizations 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.
2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets
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 may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount, which is the higher of its value in use or its fair value less costs of disposal, of the asset or cash-generating unit, as the case may be, is estimated and impairment loss (if any) is recognised and the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. 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.
In assessing the 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.
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.
An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. When an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but up to the amount that would have been determined, had noimpairment loss been recognized for that asset or cash generating unit. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
2.5 Inventories
• Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
• Inventories comprise all costs of purchase, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
• Cost of raw materials, packing materials, including materials in transit, work in process and finished goods are arrived at on the First in first out method of valuation, including manufacturing overheads wherever applicable.
• Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.6 Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit for the period 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 items of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, other short-term deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, as reduced by bank overdrafts.
2.7 Segment Reporting
• The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
• The accounting policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company.
• Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of their relationship to the operating activities of the segment.
2.8 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consists of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
