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. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Where no reliable estimates can be made, a disclosure is made as a contingent liability. A disclosure for contingent liability is also made when there may be a possible obligation or a present obligation, but probably will not require an outflow of resources.

Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. If it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the assets and related income are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

D. Property, Plant and Equipment:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of items of property, plant and equipment which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized. Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by the Company in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalized only if it enhances the future economic benefits arising from the existing assets beyond its previously assessed standards of performance.

Advances paid towards acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under short-term loans and advances. Cost of assets not ready for intended use, as on the balance sheet date, is shown as capital work-in-progress.

In the opinion of the Management, during the year there is no impairment loss.

H. Inventories:

Raw materials, packing materials, stores, spares, consumables are valued at cost, after providing for obsolescence. Work-in-process is valued at cost of raw materials and proportionate overheads. Finished goods are valued at lower of the cost or market value/net realizable value. Cost includes all charges incurred in relation to the goods. The goods received on account of sales returns are valued at cost.

Net Realizable Value (NRV) is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of all categories of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method.

Transaction gain or loss realized upon settlements of foreign currency transactions are included in determining net profit for the period in which the transaction is settled.

K. Employee Benefits:

0. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

1. FINANCIAL ASSETS:

1. Initial Recognition and Measurement:

All Financial Assets are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of Financial Assets, 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 i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in Other Income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.

2. Subsequent Measurement:

-Financial Assets measured 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 represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

-Financial Assets measured 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 represents solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

-Financial Assets measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):

A Financial Asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition, if the Company changes its business model for managing those financial assets. Changes in business model are made and applied prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of immediately next reporting period following the changes in business model in accordance with principles laid down under Ind AS 109.

-Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures:

The Company accounts for its investments in Subsidiaries, associates, and joint venture at cost less impairment loss (if any). Investments in preference shares with the right of surplus assets which are in nature equity in accordance with Ind AS 32 would treated as separate category of investment and measured as at FVTOCI.

-Other Equity Investments:

All other equity investments are measured at fair value, with value changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for those equity investments for which the Company has elected to present the value changes in 'Other Comprehensive Income'. However, dividend on such equity investments are recognized in Statement of Profit and loss when the Company's right to receive payment is established.

-Impairment of Financial Assets:

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of Financial Assets other than those measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL). Expected Credit Losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

The 12-months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).

For Trade Receivables the Company applies 'simplified approach' which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

The Company uses historical default rates to determine impairment loss on the portfolio of trade receivables. At every reporting date, these historical default rates are reviewed and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.

For other assets, the Company uses 12-month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is a significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or

Both (1) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement and (2) either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

II. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:

1. Initial Recognition and Measurement:

All Financial Liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of borrowings, net of directly attributable cost. Fees of recurring nature are directly recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.

2. Subsequent Measurement:

Financial Liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same or other lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is to be recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

III. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT:

The Company's activities expose it to variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, Commodity price risk and liquidity risk. Within the boundaries of approved Risk Management Policy framework, the Company manages volatility and minimize the adverse impact on its financial performance.

The Company is subject to foreign exchange risk primarily due to its foreign currency revenues, expenses and borrowings.

b) Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of change in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to any interest rate risk as the interest rates implicit in all the borrowings are fixed in nature.

c) Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk that a customer fails to perform or pay the amounts due causing financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from dealing in derivatives receivable from customers and other financial instruments. The Company maintains that Credit risk is actively managed through continuous follow-up with the parties and Credit information is regularly shared between businesses and finance function, with a framework in place to quickly identify, respond and recognize cases of credit deterioration.

d) Commodity Price Risk:

Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of the major imported raw materials and other products. The company has a risk management framework headed by the managing director, aimed at prudently managing the risk arising from the volatility in commodity prices and freight costs.

e) Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk arises from the Company's inability to meet its cash flow commitments on the due date. The company's liquidity is managed centrally with all the departments forecasting their cash and liquidity requirements. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's cash flow position to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligation.
