Gains or Losses arising from de-recognition of assets 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.
The residual Values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
3.3 Intangiable Assets

Amortization is provises on a written down value method over estimated useful lives.
The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of intangible assets are reviewed at
each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
3.4 Derecognition of Tangible and Intangible assets
An item of PPE is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from its use or disposal Gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of PPE is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.5 Leases Company as Lessee
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the company assesses whether ;
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset,
(ii) the company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the date of commencement of the lease, the company recognises right-of-use asset ("ROU") and corrresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with the term of twelve months or less (Short Term Leases) and no value leases. for these short term and low value leases, the company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense or a straight -line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extent or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonabily certain that they will be exercised. The right -of-use assets, are initially recognized at cost,which comprises initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight- line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there carrying amounts may not be recoverable. for the purpose of impairment testing , the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sale and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset doesn't generate cash flows that
are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
3.6 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of assets are 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 amounts of an asset exceed its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the assets' net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized immediately as Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
3.7 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities (financial instruments) are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisionsof the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as current, if they are expected to be realised or settled within operating cycle of the Company or otherwise these are classified as non-current.
The classification of financial instruments whether to be measured at Amortised Cost, at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) or at FairValue through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) depends on the objective and contractual terms to which they relate. Classification of financial instruments are determined on initial recognition
i) Cash & Cash equivalents
Cash & Cash equivalents consist of Cash on Hand, Cash at Bank, Term Deposits & Cheques in Hand. All highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into determinable amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and are having original maturities
of three months or less from the date of purchase, are considered as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage
ii) Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial Assets held within a business whose objective is to hold these assets 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 onthe principal amount outstanding are measured at amortised cost
The above Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities subsequent to initial recognition are measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including all fees and points paid orreceived, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the Financial Asset or Financial Liability to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition
iii) Financial Asset at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business 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 amountoutstanding. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized directly in othercomprehensive income
iv) For the purpose of para (ii) and (iii) above, principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and interest consists ofconsideration for the time value of money and associated credit risk.
v) Financial Assets or Liabilities at Fair value through profit or loss
Financial Instruments which does not meet the criteria of amortised cost or fair value through
other comprehensive income are classified as Fair Value through Profit and loss. These are recognised at fair value and changes therein are recognized in the statementof profit and loss.
vi) Derivative and Hedge Accounting
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward, swap and option contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates in respect of financial instruments and forecasted cash flows denominated in certain foreign currencies.
The Company uses hedging instruments which provide principles on the use of such financial derivatives consistent with the risk management strategy of the Company. The hedge instruments are designated and documented as hedges and effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at inception and on an ongoing basis.
Any derivative that is either not designated as a hedge, or is so designated but is ineffective as per Ind AS 109 "Financial Instruments",is categorised as a financial asset, at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs attributable are also recognised in Statement ofprofit and loss. Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognised in theStatement of profit and loss
Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensiveincome and presented within equity as cash flow hedging reserve to the extent that the hedge is effective
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity till that time remains and thereafter to the extent hedge accounting being discontinued is recognised in Statement of profit and loss. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss accumulated in equity is transferred to the Statement of profit and loss.
vii) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset is assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date. A financial asset is considered
to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the creditrisk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has notincreased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amountequal to 12-month expected credit losses.
However, for trade receivables or contract assets that result in relation to revenue from contracts with customers, the Company measuresthe loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
viii) Derecognition of financial instruments
The Company derecognizes a financial asset or a Company of financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assetexpire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party
On derecognition of a financial asset (except for equity instruments designated as FVTOCI), the difference between the asset's carryingamount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
On derecognition of assets measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment
Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Company's obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss
3.8 Investments
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investment. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current Investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on individual
investment basis. Long-terms investments are carried at cost. A provision of diminution is made to recognize a decline, other than temporary, in the value of longterm investments
3.9 Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost of inventories is ascertained on 'FIFO' basis. Materials andother supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the related finished products are expected tobe sold at or above cost.
i) Raw Materials, Stores and spares
These are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value, after providing for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, wherever, considered necessary.
ii) Work-in-progress and Finished Goods
These include cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on First in First out (FIFO) basis.
3.10 Foreign Currency Transaction
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency prevailing at the date of the transaction. Realized gains/ losses on foreign exchange transactions during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the yearend rates and resultant gains/losses from foreign exchange translations are recognized in the Statement of Profit and loss.
Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation purposes.
The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of thecontract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized inthe statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchangerates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognised as income or expensefor the year.
3.11 Equity Share Capital
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Par value ofthe equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of par value is classified as Securities Premium.
Costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects
3.12 Provisions & Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. They are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates
Contingent Liabilities are not provided for and are disclosed by way of notes to the financial statements when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or when there is a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the same or a reliable estimate of the amount in this respect cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statement by way of notes to accounts when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
3.13 Employee Benefits
i) Short Term Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits, such as salaries, wages, incentives etc. are recognized as expenses at actual amounts, in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related services are rendered. Leave not availed in a year can be carried forward up to 30 days.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. Deferred tax asset arising on account of unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The company writes down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized.
3.17 Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings per Share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the year attributable to Equity Shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for events of bonus issue, bonus elements in a right issue to existing shareholders and share splits.

The Company primary business segment is Industrial Safety Products. The Industrial Safety Products business incorporates product Companys' viz. Leather hand Gloves, Industrial Work Garments, Seamless Knitted Gloves, Leather Shoe Upper, Safety Shoes and Nitrile Dipped Gloves, which mainly have similar risks and
returns. Thus the Company business activity falls within a single primary business segment.
4 Critical accounting judgments, assumptions and key sources of estimation and uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the measurement principle of Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the application of accounting policies and thereported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statementsand reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Differences between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known /materialised and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Application of accounting policies that require significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments and the use of assumptions in the financial statements have been disclosed below. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
4.1 Depreciation / amortisation and impairment on property, plant and equipment / intangible assets.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets are depreciated/amortised on straight-line/written down value basis over the estimated useful lives (or lease term if shorter) in accordance with Company accounting policy, taking into account the estimated residual value, wherever applicable.
The Company reviews its carrying value of its Tangible and Intangible Assets whenever there is objective evidence that the assets are impaired.In such situation Asset's recoverable amount is estimated which is higher of asset's or cash generating units (CGU) fair value less cost ofdisposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use the estimated future cash flows are discounted using pre-tax discount rates which reflectthe current assessment of time value of money. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market realisations are considered orotherwise in absence of such transactions
appropriate valuations are adopted. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of the assetsregularly in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortisation and amount of impairment expense to be recorded during anyreporting period. This reassessment may result in change estimated in future periods.
4.2 Arrangements containing leases and classification of leases
The Company enters into service / hiring arrangements for various assets / services. The determination of lease and classification of the service/hiring arrangement as a finance lease or operating lease is based on an assessment of several factors, including, but not limited to, transferof ownership of leased asset at end of lease term, lessee's option to purchase and estimated certainty of exercise of such option, proportionof lease term to the asset's economic life, proportion of present value of minimum lease payments to fair value of leased asset and extent ofspecialised nature of the leased asset.
4.3 Claims and Compensation
Claims including insurance claims are accounted for on determination of certainty of realisation thereof.
4.4 Impairment allowances on trade receivables
The Company evaluates whether there is any objective evidence that trade receivables are impaired and determines the amount of impairmentallowance as a result of the inability of the customers to make required payments. The Company bases the estimates on the ageing of the tradereceivables balance, creditworthiness of the trade receivables and historical write-off experience. If the financial conditions of the tradereceivable were to deteriorate, actual write-offs would be higher than estimated.
4.5 Income taxes
Significant judgment is required in determination of taxability of certain income and deductibility of certain expenses during the estimationof the provision for income taxes.
4.6 Defined benefit obligation (DBO)
Critical estimate of the DBO involves a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate,anticipation of future salary increases etc. as estimated by Independent Actuary appointed for this purpose by the Management. Variationin these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.
4.7 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions and liabilities are recognised in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting frompast operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of theliability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.
Management judgment is required for estimating the possible outflow of resources, if any, in respect of contingencies/claim/litigations/against the Company as it is not possible to predict the outcome of pending matters with accuracy.
The carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities and estimation for contingencies are reviewed regularly and revised to take account ofchanging facts and circumstances.
