j) Inventories:
• Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value.
• Cost of inventories have been computed to include all costs of purchases, cost of conversion, all non-refundable duties & taxes and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
• The basis of calculating cost for traded goods and stores and spares is weighted average cost method. For certain categories of traded goods it is determined based on weighted average cost of respective commodity lot basis.
• Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated cost necessary to make the sale. Necessary adjustment for shortage / excess stock is given based on the available evidence and past experience of the Company.
k) Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions: A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of time value of money is material).
Contingent liabilities: Contingent liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in notes to accounts.
n) In the opinion of the board of Directors, Current Assets, Loans and Advances a value of realization equivalent to the amount at which they are stated in the Balance Sheet. Adequate provisions have been made in the accounts for all the known liabilities.
o) Fair Value
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell
the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
A. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
B. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their best economic interest.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as under, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
A. Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
B. Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
C. Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
This note summarizes the accounting policy for fair value. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.
p) The management of company has received written representation from all the directors, that companies in which they are directors had not defaulted in terms of section 164(2) of the companies Act, 2013, and the representation from directors taken in Board that Director is disqualified from being appointed as Director of the company.
q) Earnings per share (EPS):
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for bonus shares,
as appropriate.
Contributed Equity
Equity shares are classified as equity.
(a) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
-the profit attributable to the owners group
-by the weighted average number of equities shares outstanding during the year.
(b) Rounding off amounts
All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lacs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
r) Off Setting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when, and only when, there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amount and there is intention either to settle on net basis or to realize the assets and to settle the liabilities 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 counterparty.
s) Other Note:
As per the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notification, proviso to Rule 3(1) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, for the financial year commencing April 1, 2023, every company 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. The interpretation and guidance on what level edit log and audit trail needs to be maintained evolved during the year and continues to evolve.
In the company, the accounting software has a feature of audit trail, but it was disable at an application level for maintenance of books of accounts and relevant transactions. However, the global standard ERP used by the Company has not been enabled with the feature of audit trail log at the database layer to log direct transactional changes, due to present design of ERP. This is being taken up with the vendor. In the meanwhile, the Company continues to ensure that direct write access to the database is granted only via an approved change management process.
