f) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent
assets
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event,
and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle a reliably
assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on
best estimate required to settle each obligation at each
balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money
is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre¬
tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific
to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a
finance cost.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible
obligations that arise from past events, whose existence
would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence
of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company. Contingent liabilities are also
present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required, or the amount of the obligation
cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent
Liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but
are disclosed separately.
Contingent assets are not recognised unless it becomes
virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise
g) Financial Assets
Recognition and initial measurement
Trade Receivables are initially recognised when they are
originated. All other financial assets are initially recognised
when the Company becomes party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. All financial assets other than
trade receivables and those measured subsequently at fair
value through profit and loss, are recognised initially at fair
value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the
acquisition of the financial asset.
Classification and Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets
are classified in following categories:
i. Financial Assets at Amortised Cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held
within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset
in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual
terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest
on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
Effective Interest rate method (EIR). Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
and fees or cost that are an integral part of the EIR.
The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the
statement of profit & loss. The losses arising from impairment
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
ii. Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Other
Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI) if these financial assets are
held within a business model with an objective to hold these
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell
these financial assets and the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that
are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, these assets are subsequently
measured at Fair Value. Interest Income under Effective
Interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit
and Loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI.
iii. Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair
value through OCI is carried at Fair Value through Profit and
Loss
iv. Equity Investments
All Equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109 are
measured at Fair Value. Such equity instruments which
are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For all other
such equity instruments, the Company decides to classify
the same either as FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes
such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The
classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
For Equity instruments classified as FVOCI, all fair value
changes in the instrument excluding dividends are
recognized in OCI. Dividends on such equity instruments are
recognized in the statement of Profit or loss.
De-recognition of Financial Assets:
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial
asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily
derecognised when:
The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash
flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a
third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either
(a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards
of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all debt instruments
(other than debt instruments measured at FVOCI) and
equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) are recognised
in the statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in
respect of debt instrument measured at FVOCI and that are
accumulated in OCI are reclassified to Profit and Loss on de¬
recognition. Gains or losses on equity instruments measured
at FVOCI that are recognised and accumulated in OCI are
not reclassified to Profit or Loss on derecognition.
h) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the
Company are classified according to the substance of the
contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of
a financial liability and an equity instrument.
i) Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
Financial Liability is initially measured at fair value plus,
for an item not at fair value through profit and loss, net
of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its
acquisition or issue.
ii) Classification and Subsequent Measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their
classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through Profit or Loss
(FVTPL)
Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held
for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition as at FVTPL. Financial Liabilities at FVTPL are
measured at fair value and changes therein, including any
interest expense, are recognised in Statement of Profit
and Loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
After initial recognition, financial liabilities other than those
which are classified as FVTPL are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the EIR method. Amortised cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of
the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in
the Statement of Profit and Loss.
iii) De-recognition of Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are de-recognised when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such
an exchange or modification is treated as de-recognition
of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised
in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
i) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a
financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity.
j) Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount
is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on
future events and must be enforceable in the normal course
of business and in the event of default, insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
k) Impairment
a. financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement
and recognition of impairment loss on the financial asset
measured at amortized cost.
Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured following
the 'Simplified Approach' at an amount equal to the Lifetime
ECL at each reporting date. The Company uses a provision
matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the
portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based
on its historically observed default rates over the expected
life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking
estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed
default rates are updated and changes in the forward¬
looking estimates are analysed.
In respect of other financial asset, the loss allowance is
measured at 12-month ECL only, if there is no significant
deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of an
asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the
reporting date.
b. Impairment of Non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date, whether there
is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication
exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is
required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable
amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset,
unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are
largely independent of those from other assets or groups of
assets. When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is
written down to its recoverable amount.
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. In
determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market
transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions
can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples,
quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other
available fair value indicators.
c. 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 an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented
in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects,
when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the
passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
l) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control over the
promised goods or services is 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 specific recognition criteria described below must also
be met before revenue is recognised.
Sale of goods
The Company recognises revenue generally at the point in
time when the products are delivered to customer or when
it is delivered to a carrier for export sale, which is when
the control over product is transferred to the customer. In
contracts where freight is arranged by the Company and
recovered from the customers, the same is treated as a
separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized
when such freight services are rendered.
Revenue is adjusted for variable consideration such as
discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions,
incentives, or other similar items in a contract when they
are highly probable to be provided. The amount of revenue
excludes any amount collected on behalf of third parties.
Interest
Interest income including income arising on other
instruments are recognised on time proportion basis using
the effective interest rate method.
m) Employee benefits
a) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly
administered provident funds as per local regulations.
The Company has no further payment obligations once
the contributions have been paid. The contributions
are accounted for as define contribution plan and the
contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense
when they are due.
b) Defined Benefit Plan
The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet in
respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value
of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting
period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit
obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the
projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation
denominated in Rs. is determined by discounting the
estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields
at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that
have terms approximating to the terms of related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and
the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee
benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are
recognised in the year in which they occur, directly in other
comprehensive income.
Changes in present value of the defined benefit obligation
resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are
recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss
as past service cost.
c) Leave Entitlement
Leave entitlement are provided based on an actuarial
valuation, similar to that of gratuity benefit. Re-measurement,
comprising of actuarial gains and losses, in respect of leave
entitlement are recognised in the Statement of Profit and
Loss in the period in which they occur.
d) Short-term Benefits
Short-term employee benefits such as salaries, performance
incentives etc. are recognised as expenses at the
undiscounted amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss
of the period in which the related service is rendered.
n) Taxation
i. 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 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 rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
ii. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases
used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary
differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized 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 utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset 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 realized, 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.
o) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net
profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders
by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the year. The weighted average number
of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for
events of bonus issue, if any.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share,
the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of
all dilutive potential equity shares.
The number of equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for
all periods presented for any bonus shares issues.
p) Cash Flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby
profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions
of a 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 flows from operating, investing and
financing activities of the Company are segregated.
q) Trade Payables & Trade Receivables
A payable is classified as a 'trade payable' if it is in respect of
the amount due on account of goods purchased or services
received in the normal course of business. These amounts
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the
Company prior to the end of the financial year which are
unpaid. These amounts are unsecured and are usually settled
as per the payment terms stated in the contract. Trade and
other payables are presented as current liabilities unless
payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting
period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method.
r) A receivable is classified as a 'trade receivable' if it is in
respect of the amount due on account of goods sold or
services rendered in the normal course of business. Trade
receivables are recognised initially at transaction values and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR
method (if there is a financing element), less provision for
expected or lifetime credit loss.
s) Segment Reporting
Based on ” Management Approach ”as defined in Ind AS 108
-Operating Segments the chief operating decision maker
regularly monitors and reviews the operating results of the
whole Company as one segment of "Agro Chemicals". Thus,
as defined in Ind AS 108, the Company's entire business
falls under this one operational segment and hence the
necessary information has already been disclosed in the
Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss. The
analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in
which customers of the Company are located.
a) The securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of equity shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance
with the provision of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) The General Reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from related earnings for appropriation purpose.
As the General Reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and not an item of other
comprehensive income, items included in the general reserve is not reclassified subsequently to the statement of Profit
and Loss.
c) The retained earnings comprise of surplus which is used from time to time to transfer profits by approprations. Retained
earnings is free reserve of the Company and is used for the purpose like issuing bonus shares, buy back of shares and other
purposes (like declaring dividend etc.) as per the approval of the Board of Directors. It includes the remeasurements of
defined benifit plan as per acturial valuations which will not be re-classfied to statement of profit and loss in subsequent
periods.
Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and Company is exposed
to the Following Risks:
1. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit
plan liability is calculated by reference to the future
salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary
of the members more than assumed level will increase
the plan's liability.
2. Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is
linked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present value
of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the
discount rate generally increases the mark to market
value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
3. Investment Risk: The present value of the defined
benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate
which is determined by reference to market yields at
the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create
a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a
relatively balanced mix of investments in government
securities, and other debt instruments.
4. Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM
risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is
invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962,
this generally reduces ALM risk.
5. Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not
payable for life time and payable till retirement age only,
plan does not have any longevity risk.
6. Concentration Risk: Plan is having a concentration
risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance
Company and a default will wipe out all the assets.
Although probability of this is very less as insurance
companies have to follow regulatory guidelines.
32. i n the opinion of the Board of Directors, all assets other than Property, Plant & Equipment and non-current investments
have a value on realization in the ordinary course of business at least equal to the amount at which they are stated in the
Balance Sheet.
33. DISCLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH IND AS - 108 “OPERATING SEGMENTS", OF
THE COMPANIES (INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS) RULES, 2015.
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that business enterprises report information about operating segments and
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As the Company is engaged in
providing similar nature of products, production process, customer types etc., the Company has a single operating segment
of ”Agro chemicals”, there are no differing risks and returns attributable to the Company's services to its customers.
The Company has sold 95% of its total sales to a single customer.
34. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Disclosure in accordance with Ind AS - 24 "Related Party Disclosures”, of the Companies ( Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015.
The management assessed that fair value of cash and short¬
term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other
current financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short¬
term maturities of these instruments.
36. FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
This section explains the judgments and estimates made
in determining the fair values of the financial instruments
that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b)
measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are
disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication
about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair
value, the Company has classified its financial instruments
into the three levels prescribed under the accounting
standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath
the table.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.
derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based
on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The following table presents the fair value measurement
hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value on recurring basis as at March 31, 2025 and March
31, 2024.
37. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management framework:
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial
risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's
senior management oversees management of these risks.
The Company's focus is to foresee the unpredictability of
financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse
effects on its financial performance.
i) Market Risk
a. Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument
will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The
Company is not exposed to currency risk as at March 31,
2025.
b. Interest rate risk
The Company is not exposed to Interest risk as at March 31,
2025.
ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a
customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from
the Company's receivables from customers. Credit risk
is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit
limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of
customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the
normal course of business.
Trade and Other Receivables:
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade
receivables based on historical trend, industry practices
and the business environment in which the entity operates.
Based on the historical data of defaults and financial position
of parties, chances of credit losses are minimal.
iii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter
difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated
with financial instruments. Liquidity risk management implies
maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and
the availability of funding through committed credit facilities
to meet the obligations when due.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's
liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis
of expected cash flows. The Company manages its liquidity
risk by preparing month on month cash flow projections to
monitor liquidity requirements.
38. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders
to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure
and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business
and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages
its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in
light of changes in economic conditions or its business
requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
Since there are no Borrowings as at March 31,2025, the Net
Debt to Capital (Gearing Ratio) is NIL.
39. RELATIONSHIP WITH STRUCK OFF
COMPANIES
The information about transaction with struck off Companies
(defined under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013 or
Section 560 of Companies Act, 1956) has been determined
to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis
of the information available with the Company and the same
is relied upon by the auditors.
40. ANALYTICAL RATIOS
Analytical Ratios as per requirements of Schedule III are
given in Statement 2.
41. AUDIT TRAIL
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) by the Companies
(Accounts) Amendment Rules 2021 and vide notification
dated 24 March 2021 has issued the "Companies (Audit and
Auditors) Amendment Rules, 2021 has prescribed a new
requirement for companies under the proviso to Rule 3(1)
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 inserted requiring
companies, which uses accounting software for maintaining
its books of account, shall use only such accounting
software which has a feature of recording audit trail of each
and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change
made in the books of account along with the date when
such changes were made and ensuring that the audit trail
cannot be disabled.
As required under above rules, the Company uses, Tally
Prime which has an audit Trail feature w.e.f July 23, 2024.
The previous version of the accounting software did not
have the feature of audit trail. Further, for the periods that
the audit trail was enabled (with effect from July 23, 2024)
and operated as aforesaid, the same has been maintained
without any tampering and preserved by the Company in
compliance with the applicable statutory requirements for
record retention.
42. The balance sheet, statement of profit and loss, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of
material accounting policy information and the other explanatory notes forms an integral part of the financial statements of
the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025.
43. Previous year's figures have been regrouped, wherever necessary, to confirm to current year's classification.
