iv) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation and amortization and impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes purchase price, borrowing cost, inward freight, duties, taxes and any other cost directly attributable to bringing the assets into its working conditions for its intended use. As per management decisions, dies and moulds, having lifespan of less than one year, have not been capitalized as per Companies Act, 2013, but have been treated as consumable. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be realized. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss, as incurred.
Depreciation Method
Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipment is provided on Straight Line Method. Depreciation is provided based on useful life of the assets as prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the following assets, where useful life is different than those prescribed in Schedule II.
Asset Classification Life (in Years)
Building 30
Plant and Machineries 8
Electric Fittings and Installations 8
Fire Fighting Equipment's 10
Vehicles 8
Impairment of Assets
The carrying amount of assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets, net selling price and value in use.
v) Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimatedselling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventory ofraw material, stock-in-trade, stores and spares and finished goods are measured using FIFO (First InFirst Out) basis, whereas work- in¬ progress are valued on the basis of material's FIFO rate, its cost of conversion and other costs incurred.
vi) Investment properties
Property that is held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company (if any), will be classified as Investment Property. Investment Property will be initially measured at cost, including related transactions costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized to the assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Investment Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Investment properties generally have a useful life of 30 years.
vii) Intangible Assets
Company will amortize intangible assets (if any) with a finite life using the straight-line method over 5 years.
viii) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues from multiple products and services including flexible packaging products, and related activities, etc. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at a point in time when the control has been transferred subject to the terms with the customers, which generally coincides with dispatch of goods to customers in case of domestic sales and on the basis of bill of lading in the case of export sales. The performance obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customer terms.
Revenue is measured on the basis of contracted price, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax, etc. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.
Customers have the contractual right to return goods only when authorised by the company.
Revenue from sale of services are measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of any sort of discounts and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services taxes. Income from services rendered is recognised based on agreements/arrangements with the customers as the service is performed and there are no unfilled obligations.
ix) Employees benefits:
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange of services rendered by employees is recognized during the period when the employee renders the services. These benefits include salaries, bonus and performance incentives.
Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus etc. The Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.
Post-Employment Benefits Gratuity
The liability or asset recognized 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 Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
x) Financial Instruments
A. Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition. Purchase and sale of financial assets are recognized using trade date accounting.
B. Subsequent measurement
Debt Instrument
• Financial assets carried at amortized cost (AC)
A financial asset is measured at amortized 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.
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling 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.
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is measured at FVTPL.
Equity Instruments
The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the company's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains or losses to profit or loss as other income when the company rights to receive payment is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gain/ losses in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investment measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
C. De-recognition of financial instruments A financial asset is derecognized only when:
• The company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets or
• Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets, but assumes contractual obligations to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the company transferred the financial assets, the company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and reward of ownership of the financial assets. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets, the financial assetsis not derecognized.
