Significant Accounting Policies and Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements: Basis of Preparation of Standalone Financial Statements:

These financial statement for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (lnd AS) as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 read together with the Rules notified there under to the extent applicable and the other relevant provisions of the Act, pronouncements of the regulatory bodies applicable to the company. The company has migrated from NSE SME platform to NSE Main Board on 30th December 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value and Employee's defined benefit plan as per actuarial valuation, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in !nd AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The significant accounting policies followed by the company are as stated below:

1. 1 Current versus non-current classification

All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

All other assets and liabilities have been classified into current or non-current based on 12 months period.

1.2 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation and presentation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported as on the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period

Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as and when the Management be- comes aware of the changes in the circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements in applying ac- counting policies that may have significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as below:

Useful lives of property, plant & equipment Measurement of defined benefit obligations Provisions & contingencies.

1.3 Inventory Valuation

Raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, packing materials, stores, spares, components consumables and stock-intrade are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value after providing for obsolescence, if any.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Cost of inventories comprises of all. Costs of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

Materials and supplies: on a First-in-First-Out (FIFO) method.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimate costs of completion and selling expenses. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on inventory-by- inventory basis

1.4Property Plant & Equipment

(a) On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value (i.e. historical cost net of recoverable taxes, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any) of all of its property, plant & equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind ASs, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant & equipment. The cost of an item of tangible fixed assets comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for intended use. Any trade discount and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

The estimated useful lives of assets are in accordance with the Schedule" of the Companies Act, 2013. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition / disposal of a Property, Plant and Equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and loss when the asset is derecognized / disposed off. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, except freehold land, is provided as per cost model on straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

Building: 60 Years

Plant and Machinery: 15 years

Furniture and Fixtures: 10 years

Computers: 6 years

Office equipment: 5 years

Electrical Installation: 10 Years

Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful lives given above best represents the period over which the management expects to use the asset. Hence the useful lives of the assets are same as prescribed under Part C of schedule II of Companies Act, 2013 estimated useful life of the assets is reviewed at the end of each financial year. The residual value of Property, plant and equipment considered as 5% of the original cost of the asset.

loans and advances and cost of assets not ready for intended use before the year end, are shown as capital work-in- progress. All costs relating to the acquisition and installation of fixed assets are capitalized until the asset is ready for use.

(c) Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on Straight Line Method (SLM) and is systematically allocated over the useful life of an asset as specified in part C of Schedule "of The Companies Act, 2013. In respect of Assets costing less than Rs. 5,000/- the rate of depreciation is taken as 100%. Depreciation is computed pro-rata with reference to the number of days of use during the year.

For performance obligation satisfied over time; the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to-date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation.

In cases where the work performed till the reporting date has not reached the milestone specified in the contract, the Company recognizes the work in progress. In this method the work completed under each contract is measured on a regular basis and the corresponding output is recognized as revenue.

The amount recognized 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 the time value of money is material).

A contingent liability is disclosed when the Company has a possible or present obligation where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle it. Contingent Liabilities are not provided for till the same are crystalized. Contin-

gent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed.

Financial assets at Fair Value: Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is 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.

The Company in respect of equity investments (other than in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) which are not held for

trading has made an irrevocable election to presentation other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of such equity instruments.

1.17 Financial Liabilities and Equity InstrumentsClassification as debt or equity

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.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial Liabilities

Trade payables are amounts due to vendors for purchase of goods or services acquired in the ordinary course of business and are classified as current liabilities to the extent it is expected to be paid within the normal operating cycle of the business.

Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method where the time value of money is significant.

Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts and issued debt are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognized over the term of the borrowings in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company de-recognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.

Reclassification of financial assets

The company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The company's senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the company's operations.

Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the group reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The company does not restate any previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

1.18 Financial Instruments, Risk Management, Objectives and Policies Financial Risk Management

The company's Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company's risk management framework. The company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the company's activities.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. The company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the company's net liquidity position through rolling forecast on the basis of expected cash flows.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loan borrowings. The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior Management and the Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimize the company's position with regards to the interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

Foreign currency risk

The Company does not operate internationally and hence not exposed to currency risk on account of its receivables or payables in foreign currency.
