Pidilite Industries Ltd. இன் கணக்கு குறிப்புகள்

Mar 31, 2023

The company has estimated the useful life for its copyrights and trademark as indefinite on the basis of renewal of legal rights and the management''s intention to keep it perpetually.

Goodwill, Copyrights and Trademark

Goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books of the Company pertain to Consumer and Bazaar & Business to Business of the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark to determine whether there is any indication that goodwill, copyrights and trademark has suffered any impairment loss. Accordingly, recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark is arrived basis projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business & Business to Business.

Recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books as on 31st March 2023. Further there are no external indications of impairment of goodwill, copyrights and trademark. As a result, no impairment loss on goodwill, copyrights and trademark is required to be recognised.

Projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business (including Araldite) and Business to Business

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management for next year, estimates prepared for the next 4 years thereafter and a discount rate of 12.7% per annum (12.0% per annum as at 31st March 2022).

Cash flow projections during the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation throughout the budget period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 7% per annum (7% per annum as at 31st March 2022) growth rate. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit.

b. Terms/ Rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of 1 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

42 Segment information

Business Segment:

The Company operates in two business segments namely Consumer & Bazaar (C&B) and Business to Business (B2B). Consumer & Bazaar

segment covers sale of products mainly to end consumers which are retail users such as carpenters, painters, plumbers, mechanics, households, students, offices, etc. Sale consists of mainly adhesives, sealants, art and craft materials and construction and paint chemicals. B2B covers sale of products to end customers which are mainly large business users. This includes Industrial Products (IP) such as adhesives, synthetic resins, organic pigments, pigment preparations, construction chemicals (projects), surfactants, etc. and caters to various industries like packaging, textiles, paints, joineries, printing inks, paper, leather, etc. Others includes sale of raw materials.

(vi) The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined after considering several applicable factors such as the composition of the plan assets, investment/ strategy, market scenario, etc. In order to protect the capital and optimise returns within acceptable risk parameters, the plan assets are well diversified.

(vii) The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.

(viii) The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors.

Gratuity fund asset is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India, there is no material risk that the Company would be unable to meet its gratuity liability. Also as the fund is set up as a trust, the money as a part of the trust will not flow back into the Company until the last employee of the trust is paid.

Note on other risks:

1 Investment Risk - The funds are invested by LIC / Kotak and they provide returns basis the prevalent bond yields, LIC on an annual basis requests for contributions to the fund, while the contribution requested may not be on the same interest rate as the bond yields provided, basis the past experience it is low risk.

2 Interest Risk - LIC does not provide market value of assets, rather maintains a running statement with interest rates declared annually - The fall in interest rate is not therefore offset by increase in value of Bonds, hence may pose a risk.

3 Longevity Risk - Since the gratuity payment happens at the retirement age of 60, longevity impact is very low at this age, hence this is a non-risk.

(C) Financial risk management objectives

The Company''s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising foreign exchange forward contracts. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is a part of Internal Financial Controls. The Company does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the Company''s risk management committee, an independent body that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

(D) Market risk

The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see note E below). The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk of net imports.

(ii) Foreign exchange forward contracts

It is the policy of the Company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to cover foreign currency payments (net of receipts) in USD and EUR. The Company enters into contracts with terms upto 90 days. The Company''s philosophy does not permit any speculative calls on the currency. It is driven by conservatism which guides that we follow conventional wisdom by use of Forward contracts in respect of Trade transactions.

Regulatory Requirements: The Company does alter its hedge strategy in relation to the prevailing regulatory framework and guidelines that may be issued by RBI, FEDAI or ISDA or other regulatory bodies from time to time.

Mode of taking Cover: Based on the outstanding details of import payable and export receivable (in weekly baskets) the net trade import exposure is arrived at (i.e. Imports - Exports = Net trade exposures). The net trade import exposure arrived at is netted off with the outstanding forward cover as on date and with the surplus foreign currency balance available in EEFC A/Cs.

Forward cover is obtained from bank for each of the aggregated exposures and the Trade deal is booked. The forward cover deals are all backed by actual trade underlines and settlement of these contracts on maturity are by actual delivery of the hedged currency for settling the underline hedged trade transaction.

The line-items in the financial statements that include the above hedging instruments are "Other Financial Assets" of NIL crores ( 0.44 crores as at 31st March 2022) and "Other Financial Liabilities" of 0.60 crores ( 0.60 crores as at 31st March 2022)

(refer Note: 13 and 25 respectively).

The aggregate amount of loss under foreign exchange forward contracts recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is 0.44 crores (gain of 0.14 crores as at 31st March 2022).

(F) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables (refer Note 9), investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.

(G) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company''s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in Cash and Cash Equivalents and has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

(i) Liquidity risk tables

The following tables detail the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company will be liable to pay.

The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period.

Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The following tables detail the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods.

Goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books of the Company pertain to Consumer and Bazaar business of the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark to determine whether there is any indication that goodwill, copyrights and trademark has suffered any impairment loss. Accordingly, recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark is arrived basis projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business.

Recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books as on 31st March 2021. Further there are no external indications of impairment of goodwill, copyrights and trademark. As a result, no impairment loss on goodwill, copyrights and trademark is required to be recognised.

Projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management for next year, estimates prepared for the next 4 years thereafter and a discount rate of 11.7% per annum (12.0% per annum as at 31st March 2020).

Cash flow projections during the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation throughout the budget period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 7% per annum (8% per annum as at 31st March 2020) growth rate. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

(C) Financial risk management objectives

The Company''s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising foreign exchange forward contracts. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is a part of Internal Financial Controls. The Company does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the Company''s risk management committee, an independent body that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

(D) Market risk

The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see note E below). The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk of net imports.

(ii) Foreign exchange forward contracts

It is the policy of the Company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to cover foreign currency payments (net of receipts) in USD and EUR. The Company enters into contracts with terms upto 90 days. The Company''s philosophy does not permit any speculative calls on the currency. It is driven by conservatism which guides that we follow conventional wisdom by use of Forward contracts in respect of Trade transactions.

Regulatory Requirements: The Company does alter its hedge strategy in relation to the prevailing regulatory framework and guidelines that may be issued by RBI, FEDAI or ISDA or other regulatory bodies from time to time.

Mode of taking Cover: Based on the outstanding details of import payable and export receivable (in weekly baskets) the net trade import exposure is arrived at (i.e. Imports - Exports = Net trade exposures). The net trade import exposure arrived at is netted off with the outstanding forward cover as on date and with the surplus foreign currency balance available in EEFC A/Cs. Forward cover is obtained from bank for each of the aggregated exposures and the Trade deal is booked. The forward cover deals are all backed by actual trade underlines and settlement of these contracts on maturity are by actual delivery of the hedged currency for settling the underline hedged trade transaction.

The line-items in the financial statements that include the above hedging instruments are “Other Financial Assets” of ? 0.09 crores (? 1.70 crores as at 31st March 2020) and “Other Financial Liabilities” of ? 0.64 crores (? 0.42 crores as at 31st March 2020) (refer Note: 13 and 24 respectively).

The aggregate amount of loss under foreign exchange forward contracts recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is ? 2.49 crores (profit of ? 2.42 crores as at 31st March 2020).

(F) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company''s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.

(G) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company''s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

2 Critical Accounting Judgements and key sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

2.1 Key accounting judgements, assumptions and estimates

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:

2.1.1 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries is measured at cost and tested for impairment annually. For impairment testing, management determines recoverable amount, using cash flow projections which take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Management obtains fair value of investments from independent valuation experts.

2.1.2 Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (i.e. trademarks and copyrights) are tested for impairment on an annual basis. Recoverable amount of cash-generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which the intangibles are monitored for internal management purposes.

Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.

2.1.3 Employee related provisions

The costs of long term and short term employee benefits are estimated using assumptions by the management. These assumptions include rate of increase in compensation levels, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and attrition rates. (disclosed in Note 44)

2.1.4 Income taxes

Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the calculation of advance tax and deferred tax, and determining provision for income taxes and uncertain tax positions (disclosed in Note 47).

2.1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Intangible Assets

The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired. These estimates are reviewed annually by the management. 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 technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.

Goodwill, Copyrights and Trademark

Goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books of the Company pertain to Consumer and Bazaar business of the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark to determine whether there is any indication that goodwill, copyrights and trademark has suffered any impairment loss. Accordingly, recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark is arrived basis projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business.

Recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books as on 31st March 2019. Further there are no external indications of impairment of goodwill, copyrights and trademark. As a result, no impairment loss on goodwill, copyrights and trademark is required to be recognised.

Projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management for next year, estimates prepared for the next 4 years thereafter and a discount rate of 13.1% per annum (12.5% per annum as at 31st March 2018).

Cash flow projections during the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation throughout the budget period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 8% per annum (9% per annum as at 31st March 2018) growth rate. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for Consumer and Bazaar cash-generating unit are as follows:

Budgeted sales growth Sales growth is assumed at 14.5% (CAGR) (13.8% as at 31st March 2018), in line with current year projections. The values assigned to the assumption reflect past experience and are consistent with the managements’ plans for focusing operations in these markets. The management believes that the planned sales growth per year for the next five years is reasonably achievable.

Raw materials price inflation Forecast for Material cost growth CAGR higher by 1% (0.6% as at 31st March 2018) vs. sales growth, considering impact of commodity cost inflation.

Other budgeted costs Commercial spends (schemes and A&SP) have been continued at current year’s % to sales. Other fixed costs are in line with the current year’s growth.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

A formal credit policy has been framed and credit facilities are given to dealers within the framework of the credit policy. As per credit risk management mechanism, a policy for doubtful debt has been formulated and risk exposure related to receivables are identified based on criteria mentioned in the policy and provided for credit loss allowance.

Trade receivables includes receivables from Companies/ firms where directors are directors/ members/ partners (refer Note 43).

b. Terms/ Rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of 1 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

5 Employee Benefits

The Company has classified various employee benefits as under:

(A) Defined Contribution Plans

(a) Provident Fund

(b) Superannuation Fund

(c) State Defined Contribution Plans

- Employers’ Contribution to Employees’ State Insurance

- Employers’ Contribution to Employees’ Pension Scheme 1995

(d) National Pension Scheme

(B) Defined Benefit Plans

Gratuity

(C) Other Long-Term Benefits

(a) Compensated Absences

(b) Anniversary Awards

(c) Premature Death Pension Scheme

(d) Total Disability Pension Scheme

(vi) The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined after considering several applicable factors such as the composition of the plan assets, investment/ strategy, market scenario, etc. In order to protect the capital and optimise returns within acceptable risk parameters, the plan assets are well diversified.

(vii) The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.

(viii) The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors.

Gratuity fund asset is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India and the Company has funding ratio of about 94% (i.e. asset over liability ratio of 94%) in the current year, and hence, there is no material risk that the Company would be unable to meet its Gratuity liability. Also as the fund is set up as a trust, the monies as a part of the trust will not flow back into the Company until the last employee of the trust is paid.

Note on other risks:

1 Investment Risk - The funds are invested by LIC and they provide returns basis the prevalent bond yields, LIC on an annual basis requests for contributions to the fund, while the contribution requested may not be on the same interest rate as the bond yields provided, basis the past experience it is low risk.

2 Interest Risk - LIC does not provide market value of assets, rather maintains a running statement with interest rates declared annually - The fall in interest rate is not therefore offset by increase in value of Bonds, hence may pose a risk.

3 Longevity Risk - Since the gratuity payment happens at the retirement age of 60, longevity impact is very low at this age, hence this is a non-risk.

4 Salary Risk - The liability is calculated taking into account the salary increase, basis past experience of the Company’s actual salary increases with the assumptions used, they are in line, hence this risk is low risk.

Note on Sensitivity Analysis:

1 Sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumptions of the Company which are discount rate and salary assumptions as of the end of the reporting period, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affected by changes is called out in the table above.

2 The method used to calculate the liability in these scenarios is by keeping all the other parameters and the data same as in the base liability calculation except for the parameters to be stressed.

3 There is no change in the method from the previous period and the points/percentage by which the assumptions are stressed are same to that in the previous year.

7 Financial Instruments

(A) Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimum utilisation of the equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of only equity of the Company. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

(B) Categories of financial instruments

(C) Financial risk management objectives

The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising foreign exchange forward contracts. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is a part of Internal Financial Controls. The Company does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the Company’s risk management committee, an independent body that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

(D) Market risk

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see Note E below). The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk of net imports.

(E) Foreign currency risk management

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

(i) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to the USD, EUR and JPY. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 2% increase or decrease in the USD, EUR and JPY against INR with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 2% represents management assessment of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates.

(a) This is mainly attributable to the exposure of outstanding USD receivables and payables at the end of the reporting period.

(b) This is mainly attributable to the exposure of outstanding EUR receivables and payables at the end of the reporting period.

(c) This is mainly attributable to the exposure of outstanding JPY payables at the end of the reporting period.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Foreign exchange forward contracts

It is the policy of the Company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to cover foreign currency payments (net of receipts) in USD and EUR. The Company enters in to contracts with terms upto 90 days.

The Company’s philosophy does not permit any speculative calls on the currency. It is driven by conservatism which guides that we follow conventional wisdom by use of Forward contracts in respect of Trade transactions.

Regulatory Requirements: The Company does alter its hedge strategy in relation to the prevailing regulatory framework and guidelines that may be issued by RBI, FEDAI or ISDA or other regulatory bodies from time to time.

Mode of taking Cover: Based on the outstanding details of import payable and export receivable (in weekly baskets) the net trade import exposure is arrived at (i.e. Imports - Exports = Net trade exposures).

The net trade import exposure arrived at is netted off with the outstanding forward cover as on date and with the surplus foreign currency balance available in EEFC A/Cs.

Forward cover is obtained from bank for each of the aggregated exposures and the trade deal is booked. The forward cover deals are all backed by actual trade underlines and settlement of these contracts on maturity are by actual delivery of the hedged currency for settling the underline hedged trade transaction.

The line-items in the financial statements that include the above hedging instruments are “Other Financial Assets” of f 0.96 crores ( 0.09 crores as at 31st March 2018) and “Other Financial Liabilities” of 0.03 crores ( 0.08 crores as at 31st March 2018).

(refer Note 12 and 27 respectively)

At 31st March 2019, the aggregate amount of loss under foreign exchange forward contracts recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is 0.93 crores (gain of 0.01 crores as at 31st March 2018).

(F) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company’s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.

(G) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

(i) Liquidity risk tables

The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company will be liable to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company will be liable to pay.

(H) Fair value measurements

This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.

(i) Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Some of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).

(ii) Financial instruments measured at amortised cost

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

The above information regarding dues to Micro and Small Enterprises has been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information collected with the Company. This has been relied upon by the auditors.

* Interest component consists of 45,519 which will be paid subsequently 5o| Operating Lease

(a) Operating Lease payment recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss amounting to 34.28 crores ( 30.83 crores for the year ended 31st March 2018)

(b) General description of the leasing arrangement:

2 Critical Accounting Judgements and key sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

2.1 Key accounting judgements, assumptions and estimates

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below:

2.1.1 Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries is measured at cost and tested for impairment annually. For impairment testing, management determines recoverable amount, using cash flow projections which take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Management obtains fair value of investments from independent valuation experts.

2.1.2 Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (i.e. trademarks and copyrights) are tested for impairment on an annual basis. Recoverable amount of cash-generating units is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The impairment test is performed at the level of the cash-generating unit or groups of cash generating units which are benefitting from the synergies of the acquisition and which represents the lowest level at which the intangibles are monitored for internal management purposes.

Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on which management has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.

2.1.3 Business combinations and Intangible Assets

Business combinations are accounted for using Ind AS 103, “Business Combinations”. Ind AS 103 requires the identifiable intangible assets to be fair valued in order to ascertain the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Significant estimates are required to be made in determining the value of intangible assets. These valuations are conducted by independent valuation experts.

2.1.4 Employee related provisions

The costs of long term and short term employee benefits are estimated using assumptions by the management. These assumptions include rate of increase in compensation levels, discount rates, expected rate of return on assets and attrition rates. (disclosed in Note 45)

2.1.5 Income taxes

Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the calculation of advance tax and deferred tax, and determining provision for income taxes and uncertain tax positions (disclosed in Note 48).

2.1.6 Property, Plant and Equipment

The useful lives and residual values of Company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired. These estimates are reviewed annually by the management. 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 technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production or from a change in market demand of the product or service output of the asset.

The Company has determined the indefinite useful life for its Copyrights and Trademark on the basis of renewal of legal rights regularly and the management’s intention to keep them perpetually.

Goodwill, Copyrights and Trademark

Goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books of the Company pertains to Consumer and Bazaar business of the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark to determine whether there is any indication that goodwill, copyrights and trademark has suffered any impairment loss. Accordingly, recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark is arrived basis projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business.

Recoverable amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill, copyrights and trademark in the books as on 31st March 2018. Further there are no external indications of impairment of goodwill, copyrights and trademark. As a result, no impairment loss on goodwill, copyrights and trademark is required to be recognised.

Projected cashflows from Consumer and Bazaar business

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five year period, and a discount rate of 12.5% per annum (12.5% per annum as at 31st March 2017).

Cash flow projections during the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation throughout the budget period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 9% per annum (9% per annum as at 31st March 2017) growth rate. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

3 Segment information

6 Financial Instruments

(A) Capital Management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimum utilisation of the equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of only equity of the Company. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

(B) Categories of financial instruments

(C) Financial risk management objectives

The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising foreign exchange forward contracts. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is a part of Internal Financial Controls. The Company does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the Company’s risk management committee, an independent body that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

(D) Market risk

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see note E below). The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk of net imports.

(E) Foreign currency risk management

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

(i) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to the USD and EUR. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a 2% increase or decrease in the USD and EUR against INR with all other variables held constant. The sensitivity analysis is prepared on the net unhedged exposure of the Company as at the reporting date. 2% represents management assessment of reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates.

(a) This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD receivables and payables at the end of the reporting period.

(b) This is mainly attributable to the exposure to outstanding EUR receivables and payables at the end of the reporting period.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Foreign exchange forward contracts

It is the policy of the Company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to cover foreign currency payments (net of receipts) in USD and EUR. The Company enters in to contracts with terms upto 90 days.

The Company’s philosophy does not permit any speculative calls on the currency. It is driven by conservatism which guides that we follow conventional wisdom by use of Forward contracts in respect of Trade transactions.

Regulatory Requirements: The Company will alter its hedge strategy in relation to the prevailing regulatory framework and guidelines that may be issued by RBI, FEDAI or ISDA or other regulatory bodies from time to time.

Mode of taking Cover: Based on the outstanding details of import payable and export receivable (in weekly baskets) the net trade import exposure is arrived at (i.e. Imports - Exports = Net trade exposures).

The net trade import exposure arrived at is netted off with the outstanding forward cover as on date and with the surplus foreign currency balance available in EEFC A/Cs.

Forward cover is obtained from bank for each of the aggregated exposures and the Trade deal is booked. The forward cover deals are all backed by actual trade underlines and settlement of these contracts on maturity are by actual delivery of the hedged currency for settling the underline hedged trade transaction.

The line-items in the financial statements that include the above hedging instruments are “Other Financial Assets” and “Other Financial Liabilities”.

At 31st March 2018, the aggregate amount of gain under foreign exchange forward contracts recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss is 0.85 crores (loss of 0.60 crores as at 31st March 2017).

(F) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables.

The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficiently high credit rating. The Company’s exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties.

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.

(G) Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value. The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner.

(i) Liquidity risk tables

The following tables detail the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company will be liable to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company will be liable to pay.

(H) Fair value measurements

This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.

(i) Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Some of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).

(ii) Financial instruments measured at amortised cost

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

Mar 31, 2017

The Company has determined the indefinite useful life for its Copyrights & Trademarks on the basis of renewal of legal rights regularly and the management’s intention to keep it perpetually.

Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units

Goodwill in the books of the Company pertains mainly to Consumer and Bazaar business of the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether there is any indication that goodwill has suffered any impairment loss.

Accordingly, recoverable amount of goodwill is arrived basis projected cash flows from Consumer and Bazaar business.

Recoverable amount of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill in the books as on 31st March 2017. Further there are no external indications of impairment of goodwill.

As a result, no impairment loss on goodwill is required to be recognized.

Projected cash flows from Consumer and Bazaar business

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit is determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five year period, and a discount rate of 12.5% per annum (as at 31st March 2016: 12.5% per annum; as at 1st April 2015: 12.5% per annum).

Cash flow projections during the budget period are based on the same expected gross margins and raw materials price inflation throughout the budget period. The cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 9% per annum (as at 31st March 2016: 9% per annum; as at 1st April 2015: 9% per annum) growth rate. The management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.

b. Terms/ Rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.1 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

Note on other risks:

1 Investment risk - The funds are invested by LIC and they provide returns basis the prevalent bond yields, LIC on an annual basis requests for contributions to the fund, while the contribution requested may not be on the same interest rate as the bond yields provided, basis the past experience it is low risk.

2 Interest Risk - LIC does not provide market value of assets, rather maintains a running statement with interest rates declared annually - The fall in interest rate is not therefore offset by increase in value of Bonds, hence may pose a risk.

3 Longevity Risk - Since the gratuity payment happens at the retirement age of 60, longevity impact is very low at this age, hence this is a non-risk.

4 Salary risk - The liability is calculated taking into account the salary increases, basis past experience of the Company’s actual salary increases with the assumptions used, they are in line, hence this risk is low risk.

3 Notes to the Reconciliations

a Pre-operative expenses

Under previous GAAP, pre operative expenses were capitalized in the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment. Under Ind AS, these expenses have been specifically excluded from the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment. On the date of transition to Ind AS, these expenses have been identified and excluded from the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment, resulting in reduction in value of opening block of Property, Plant and Equipment as at 1st April 2015, by 2.34 crores. During the year 2015-16, depreciation relating to pre-operative expenses (capitalized under previous GAAP) have been reversed to the extent of 0.16 crores.

b. Leasehold land classified to prepaid

Under previous GAAP, leasehold land was included in the Property, Plant and Equipment. Under Ind AS, leases not classified as finance leases are regrouped under prepaid expenses, as at 31st March 2016 21.04 crores and as at 1st April 2015 21.25 crores. Depreciation to the extent of 0.21 crores pertaining to leasehold land has been reversed and the same is expensed under the head “Rent”. This has no impact on statement of profit and loss or on total equity.

c. Capital Work-In-Progress

Under previous GAAP, capital work in progress was measured at cost. On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to fair value Land, Building and Plant and Machinery, alongwith integrated patents, designs and drawings at Dahej (included in Capital Work in progress) as of the transition date. Resultant reduction in value of CWIP is 242.02 crores as at 1st April 2015. During the year 2015-16, administrative expenses which were included in Capital Work-In-Progress in previous GAAP, and which cannot be capitalized under Ind AS were expensed amounting to 0.06 crores.

d. Goodwill

Under previous GAAP, goodwill was amortized based on its useful life. Under Ind AS, goodwill is not amortized and tested for impairment on transitioning to Ind AS, amortization expense pertaining to Goodwill has been reversed, resulting in an increase in carrying amount of Goodwill by 9.10 crores as at 31st March 2016.

e. Other Intangibles

Under previous GAAP, other intangible assets were amortized based on their useful life. Under Ind AS, the company has estimated the useful lives of Trademarks and Copyrights to be indefinite. On transitioning to Ind AS, amortization expense pertaining to Trademarks and Copyrights have been reversed, resulting in an increase in carrying amount of Trademark and copyrights by 16.95 crores and 0.77 crores respectively as at 31st March 2016.

f. Investments

Under previous GAAP, investments in mutual funds were measured at lower of cost or fair value. Under Ind AS, these financial assets have been classified as FVTPL on the date of transition. Changes in fair value of these investments are recognized in profit or loss. On transition to Ind AS, these financial assets have been measured at their fair values which is higher than cost as per previous GAAP, resulting in net increase in carrying amount as at 31st March 2016 by Rs.54.33 crores and as at 1st April 2015 by 26.06 crores. During the year 2015-16, increase in mark to market gain on account of fair valuation of investments of 28.27 crores.

g. Reversal of provision for diminution in value of investments

Under Ind AS, investments in mutual funds were measured at cost. Impairment, if any, was provided for, against cost of investments. Under Ind AS, these investments are measured at fair value. Amount provided for impairment during the financial year ended 31st March 2016 amounting to 0.07 crores is reversed. There is no deferred tax impact on such reversal, but there is an increase in profit before tax and total profit for the year ended 31st March 2016 by 0.07 crores.

h. Trade Receivable - Expected Credit Loss

Under previous GAAP, allowance for doubtful debts was made as per management policy based on ageing of debtors. Under Ind AS, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for recognizing impairment loss on these financial assets on the transition date. The resultant changes in provision for doubtful debts are recognized in profit or loss. On transition to Ind AS, allowance for doubtful debts is remeasured as per ECL model, which is higher than provision as per previous GAAP, resulting in net increase in carrying amount of allowance for doubtful debts as at 31st March 2016 by Rs.8.15 crores and as at 1st April 2015 by Rs.8.57 crores. During the year 2015-16, reduction in provision as per ECL is 0.42 crores.

i. Deferred premium on forward contracts

Under previous GAAP, deferred premium on forward contracts was recognized under Other Current Assets. Under Ind AS, forward contracts are recognized as financial assets / liabilities and measured at FVTPL on the date of transition. Changes in fair value of forward contracts are recognized in profit or loss. As a result, deferred premium amounting to 0.39 crores as at 31st March 2016 and 0.29 crores as at 1st April 2015 is derecognized as an asset. During the year 2015-16, exchange difference on forward contracts 1.52 crores is reversed. On transition to Ind AS, these forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized under Other Financial Assets/ Liabilities. These have been measured at their fair values as at 31st March 2016 at 1.44 crores under Other Financial Liabilities (as at 1st April 2015 at 0.01 crores under Other Financial Assets and 0.08 crores under Other Financial Liabilities). During the year 2015-16, mark to market loss on account of fair valuation of forward contracts is 1.38 crores.

j. Short term provisions - Reversal of equity dividend provided

Under previous GAAP, dividend on equity shares, which was recommended by the board of directors after the end of reporting period but before the financial statements were approved for issue, were recognised in the financial statements as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognised when declared by the members in a general meeting. The effect of this change is an increase in total equity as at 31st March 2016 of 30.85 crores ( 178.94 crores as at 1st April 2015), but does not affect profit before tax and total profit for the year ended 31st March 2016.

k. Actuarial gains and losses

Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognized in profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses forming part of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/ asset, are recognized in the Other Comprehensive Income under Ind AS instead of profit or loss. The actuarial gains for the year ended 31st March 2016 were 0.31 crores, with tax 0.09 crores. This change does not effect total equity, but there is an increase in profit before tax of 0.31 crores and in total profit of 0.22 crores for the year ended 31st March 2016.

l. Fair valuation of ESOP

Under previous GAAP, the cost of equity settled employee share based payments was recognized using the intrinsic value method. This did not result in recognizing any expense in profit or loss in respect of these share based payments because the fair value of the shares on the grant date equaled the exercise price. Under Ind AS, the cost of equity settled employee share based payments was recognized based on the fair value of the options as on grant date. As on transition date, there is a reduction in the provision for Employee Stock Options Outstanding to the extent of 0.16 crores as at 31st March 2016 and 0.01 crores as at 1st April 2015. The change does not affect total equity, but there is an increase in the profit before tax as well as total profit for the year ended 31st March 2016 of 0.16 crores.

m. Deferred Tax impact

Deferred tax impacts for the above adjustments, are a net increase in Deferred Tax Liabilities as at 31st March 2016 by Rs.9.31 crores and reduction in Deferred Tax Liability as at 1st April 2015 by Rs.3.14 crores. During the year 2015-16, increase in provision for Deferred Tax Liability is 12.45 crores.

n. Cash discount

Cash discount has been reduced from revenue as per ind AS, amounting to 3.47 crores for the year ended 31st March 2016. The same amount is reduced from Other Expenses. This does not affect profit or equity.

o. Bank overdraft included in Cash and cash equivalents

Under Ind AS, bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of an entity’s cash management system are included in Cash and Cash Equivalents for the purpose of presentation of statement of cash flows. Whereas under previous GAAP there was no similar guidance and hence, bank overdrafts were considered similar to other borrowings and the movements therein were reflected in cash flows from Financing activities. The effect of this is that bank overdrafts of 1.12 crores as at 31st March 2016 and 5.78 crores as at 1st April 2015 have been considered as part of Cash and Cash equivalents. This also includes effect of Balance with Banks in Current Account (balances with restriction on repatriation) of 0.50 crores as at 31st March 2016 and 0.61 crores as at 1st April 2015, which were included in Cash & Cash Equivalents under previous GAAP. Consequently, the cash outflow from financing activities for the year ended 31st March 2016 prepared as per Ind As is lower to the extent of this net movement of 4.66 crores.

p. Other Comprehensive Income

Under previous GAAP, there was no concept of Other Comprehensive Income. Under Ind AS, specified items of income, expense, gains or losses are required to be presented in Other Comprehensive Income.

q. Excise Duty

Under previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented net of excise duty under revenue from operations. Whereas, under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products includes excise duty. The corresponding excise duty expense is presented separately on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The change does not affect total equity as at 1st April 2015 and 31st March 2016, profit before tax or total profit for the year ended 31st March 2016.

4 Corporate Social Responsibility

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a Company, meeting the applicability threshold, needs to spend at least 2% of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. The areas for CSR activities are eradication of hunger and malnutrition, promoting education, art and culture, healthcare, destitute care and rehabilitation, environment sustainability, disaster relief and rural development projects. A CSR committee has been formed by the Company as per the Act. The funds were primarily allocated to a corpus and utilized through the year on these activities which are specified in Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013.

5 Recent accounting pronouncements

a) Standards issued but not yet effective

In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendments to Ind AS 7, ‘Statement of Cash Flows’. The amendments are applicable to the Company from 1st April 2017.

Amendment to Ind AS 102: The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.
