1 Significant accounting policies (a) Basis of brparation of Financial Statements: The financial statements have been brpared and brsented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India ('Indian GAAP') and comply with the Accounting standards brscribed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 which continue to apply under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other relevant provisions of the Act, to the extent applicable. All figures, unless otherwise stated, are Rupees in lacs. 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 Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalent, the Company has ascertained the operating cycle to be 12 months. (b) Use of Estimates: The brparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known /materialised. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods. (c) Fixed Assets: Tangible Fixed Assets Fixed assets are recorded at cost of acquisition or construction, net of tax credit wherever eligible. Cost includes all direct expenses related to acquisition or construction, including attributable borrowing cost on qualifying assets. Subsequent expenditures related to an item of tangible fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its brviously assessed standard of performance. Fixed assets, which are not in use or are held for disposal, are stated at cost less accumulated debrciation or at net realisable value, whichever is lower. Intangible Fixed Assets Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss. Intangible assets are amortised in the Statement of Profit and Loss over the estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. (d) Impairment of Assets: An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceed its recoverable value. Recoverable value is greater of the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognised in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. (e) Debrciation and Amortisation: (i) Debrciation on tangible assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of assets as brscribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except for plant and machinery and Dies and moulds which is based on technical evaluation. Management believes that these useful lives best rebrsent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence the useful life for plant and machinery of 10 years and for Dies and Moulds of 6 years for continuous running is different from the useful life as brscribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013; (ii) Cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease; (iii) Debrciation on addition to assets or on sale /discardment of assets, is calculated pro rata from the date of such addition or upto the date of such sale/discardment, as the case may be; (iv) Assets like mobile phones, telephone instruments, etc. are fully debrciated in the year of purchase / acquisition; (v) (a) Software (Intangible assets) are amortised over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis but not exceeding the period of 36 months. (b) Models, Designs and other Commercial rights (intangible assets) are amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of 60 months from the date of its put to use or based on the management's estimate of useful life over which the economic benefits will be derived. (vi) Individual assets except assets given on lease acquired for less than ^5,000/- are debrciated entirely in the year of acquisition. (f) Investments: Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date of acquisition are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value. Long term investments are stated at cost less provision, if any, for other than temporary diminution in value. (g) Valuation of Inventories: Inventories of Raw Materials, Packing Materials, Stores and Spares, Work-in Progress, Traded goods and Finished goods are valued 'at cost and net realisable value' whichever is lower. Cost comprises all cost of purchase, appropriate direct production overheads and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their brsent location and condition. The excise duty in respect of the closing inventory of finished goods is included as part of the finished goods. Cost formulae used is 'Weighted Average Cost'. Due allowance is estimated and made for defective and obsolete items, wherever necessary, based on the past experience of the Company. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost except in case where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished product will exceed its net realisable value. (h) Employee Benefits: Short Term Employee Benefits All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service. Post Employment / Retirement Benefits Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, Employees' State Insurance Corporation, etc., are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred. Defined Benefit Plans - The brsent value of the obligation under such plans, is determined based on an actuarial valuation at the end of each year, using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses arising on such valuation are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. In the case of gratuity, which is funded, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis. Other Long Term Employee Benefits Compensated Absences Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end. Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. Actuarial losses/ gains are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise. (i) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The Company has adopted the principles for accounting of derivative instruments and hedge accounting as set out in Accounting Standard 30 (AS 30), "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and to the extent it does not contradict any of the provisions of any of the notified accounting standards. The Company uses derivative financial instrument such as forward contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments, other than those which are accounted under the provisions of Accounting Standard 11, "Foreign Currency Transactions", are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to the Statement of Profit and Loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedge, which is recognised in Cash Flow Hedge Reserve included in the Reserves and Surplus while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as: • Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability. • Cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. Hedge accounting is discontinued from the last testing date when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Cumulative gain or loss on such hedging instrument recognised in shareholder's funds is retained there until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholders' funds is transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss for the year. (j) Foreign Exchange Transactions: All transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rates of exchange brvailing on the dates when the relevant transactions take place. Monetary items in the form of current assets, current liabilities and loans in foreign currency, outstanding at the close of the year, are converted in Indian currency at the appropriate rates of exchange brvailing on the date of the Balance Sheet. Resultant gain or loss is accounted during the year. With effect from financial year 2011-12, exchange differences, in respect of long-term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in brvious financial statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a debrciable capital asset, are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and are debrciated over the balance life of the asset, and in other cases, are accumulated in a "Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account" in the enterprise's financial statements and amortized over the balance period of such long-term asset/liability but not beyond the accounting period ending on or before 31st March, 2020. As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. All non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. In respect of Forward Exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks of an on-balance sheet foreign currency denominated asset or liability, the difference between the forward rate and exchange rate at the inception of the contract is recognised as income or expense over the life of the contract. Further, the exchange differences arising on such contracts are recognised as income or expense along with the exchange differences on the underlying assets / liabilities. Profit or Loss on cancellations / renewals of forward contracts is recognised during the year. In case of forward contracts against highly probable forecast transaction, mark to market loss, if any, is charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. (k) Borrowing Costs: Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Qualifying assets, are assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use. (l) Recognition of Income and Expenditure: (i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which is generally on the dispatch of goods.

(iii) Revenue/Income and Cost/Expenditure are accounted on accrual as they are earned or incurred, except in case of significant uncertainties. (iv) Benefit on account of entitlement to import duty-free raw materials under advance license is estimated and accounted in the year of export as an adjustment to raw material consumption, provided there is a reasonable degree of certainty with regard to its ultimate realisation. (v) Liability for excise duty payable on stock in bonded warehouse at the year-end is provided for. (vi) Dividend income and keyman insurance policy refund is recognised when the right to receive the income is established. (vii) Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable. (viii) Product warranty expenses are determined / estimated and provided for on the basis of the past experience of the Company. (m) Assets taken on Lease: Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognised as operating lease. Lease rent is amoritised over the period of lease on straight line basis and recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on accrual basis. Assets acquired on finance lease are capitalised at their fair market value on the date of acquisition and a corresponding lease liability is created for the same. (n) Assets given on Lease: The Company has leased certain tangible assets and such leases where the Company has substantially retained all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Lease income on such operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the lease term which is rebrsentative of the time pattern in which benefit derived from the use of the leased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred. (o) Taxation: Income-tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax charge or credit. Provision for current tax is made on the basis of the assessable income at the tax rate applicable to the relevant assessment year. The deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability is calculated by applying tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. In situations where there are carried forward losses and unabsorbed debrciation as per the Income Tax Act, 1961, of India, deferred tax assets are recognised only when there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that such assets can be realised against future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets on account of other timing differences are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty of its realisation. At each Balance Sheet date, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed to reassure realization. Minimum Alternative Tax ('MAT') under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as current tax in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The credit available under the Act in respect of MAT paid is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the period for which the MAT credit can be carried forward for set-off against the normal tax liability. MAT credit recognised as an asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down to the extent the aforesaid convincing evidence no longer exists. (p) Government Grants: Grants received against specific fixed assets are adjusted to the cost of the assets and those in the nature of contribution towards the Company's total capital outlay are credited to Capital Reserve. Revenue grants are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an adjustment to the respective expense in accordance with the related scheme and the period in which these are accrued. (q) Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities: A provision is recognized when there is a brsent obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made.
