The projections cover a period of six years, as the Company believes this to be the most appropriate time scale over which to review and consider annual performances before applying a fixed terminal value multiple to the final year cash flows. The growth rates used to estimate future performance are based on the estimates from past performance. Weighted Average Cost of Capital % (WACC) = Risk free return (Market risk premium x Beta for the Company).

The Company has performed sensitivity analysis around the base assumptions and has concluded that no reasonable change in key assumptions would result in the recoverable amount of the IPC CGU to be less than the carrying value.

(i) The consumption of inventories recognised as an expense during the year has been disclosed in Notes 28,29,30 and 33.

(ii) The consumption of inventories recognised as an expense includes ' 0.08 (during 2020-21: ' 0.46) in respect of write-downs of inventory to net realisable value, and has been reduced by ' Nil

(during 2020-21 : ' Nil ) in respect of reversal of such write-downs.

(iii) Refer note 3(e) for method of valuation for inventories.

(i) The average credit period for the customers is in the range of 7 days to 30 days depending on customer groups.

(ii) Of the trade receivables balance ' 521.42 is due from one of the Company's large customers (as at March 31,2021 : ' 143.48 due from two of the Company's large customers). There are no other customers who represent more than 10% of the total balance of trade receivables.

(iii) The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for doubtful trade receivables based on a provisioning matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking estimates. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables which are due and the rates used in the provision matrix.

Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to the equity shares:

The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all equity shares rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the Company's residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. The voting rights of an equity shareholder on a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to their share of the paid-up equity capital of the Company. Voting rights cannot be exercised in respect of shares on which any call or other sums presently payable have not been paid. Failure to pay any amount called up on shares may lead to forfeiture of the shares. On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive the residual assets of the company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of equity shares held.

(f) Share based payments

The Company instituted the "Agro Tech Employee Stock Option Plan ('Plan') " to grant equity based incentives to its eligible employees. The Company has established a trust called the Agro Tech ESOP Trust ("Trust") to implement the Plan. The Company has given advance to the Trust for purchase of the Company's shares and such advance outstanding as at March 31, 2022 is ' 237.97 (' 311.14 as at March 31, 2021).

Fair value Measurement :

The fair value of the employee share based payment is determined using the Black Scholes model on the date of grant. No new grants have been issued during the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

(i) The disclosure in respect of the amounts payable to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises as at reporting date has been made in the standalone financial statements based on information received and available with the Company and has been relied upon by the auditors.

Further, in the view of the Management, the impact of interest, if any, that may be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 ("the MSMED Act") is not expected to be material. The Company has not received any claim for interest from any supplier under the said Act.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business including litigation before various tax authorities. The amounts included above represent the best possible estimates arrived at on the basis of available information. The uncertainties and possible reimbursements are dependent on the outcome of the different legal processes which have been invoked by the Company or the claimants as the case may be and therefore cannot be predicted accurately. The Company engages reputed professional advisors to protect its interests and has been advised that it has strong legal positions against such dispute. The Company's Management does not reasonably expect that these legal actions, when ultimately concluded and determined, will have a material and adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial conditions. The Company has accrued appropriate provision wherever required.

During the current year, the Company has received the settlement in respect of the insurance claim made by it in relation to the fire incident at one of the manufacturing facilities of the Company which had caused damage to the Company's property, plant and equipment and inventory during the year ended March 31, 2019. The Company had recorded a loss arising from such incident for the year ended March 31,2019 and had also recognised a minimum insurance claim receivable for an equivalent amount. The Company has adjusted the insurance proceeds against the net claims receivable balance and presented ' 20.11 as exceptional income in the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on analysis of various performance indicators by industry classes. The operating segment of the Company has been identified as "Foods" as the CODM reviews the business performance at an overall Company level as one segment.

Note: The above information has been determined to the extent of such parties have been identified on the basis of information available with the Company and relied upon by the auditors.

Note 43 - Corporate social responsibility

As per Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company, meeting the applicability threshold, needs to spend at least 2% of its average net profit for the immediately preceding three financial years on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Accordingly, the gross amount required to be spent during the year is ' 9.45 (March 31, 2021: ' 9.58).The Company has before the year end, contributed the entire amount of its current year obligation of ' 9.45 to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund, which is a fund prescribed under Schedule VII of the Act. The unspent amount of the previous year of ' 9.58 was also contributed to the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund within the prescribed timelines of September 30, 2021.

Note 45 - Capital management

The Company's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with focus on total equity so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. In order to maintain the capital structure, the Company monitors the return on capital, as well as the level of dividends of equity share holders. The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to all its shareholders. For the purpose of Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves and debt includes long-term borrowings and short-term working capital demand loan.

a) The employee benefit schemes are as under:i. Provident fund :

All employees of the Company receive benefits under the Provident Fund which is a defined benefit plan wherein the Company provides the guarantee of a specified return on contribution. The contribution is made both by the employee and the Company equal to 12% of the employees' salary. These contributions are made to the fund administered and managed by the Company's own Trust. (Refer Note 42).

ii. Superannuation fund:

The Company has a defined contribution scheme to provide pension to its eligible employees. The Company makes monthly contributions equal to a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary. These contributions are administered by Company's own Trust which has subscribed to "Group Superannuation Policy" of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited. The Company's monthly contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iii. Compensated absences :

The accrual for unutilised leave is determined for the entire available leave balance standing to the credit of the employees at the year end. The value of such leave balances that are eligible for carry forward, is determined by an actuarial valuation as at the end of the year and is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

iv. Gratuity :

In accordance with the 'The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972' of India, the Company provides for Gratuity, a defined retirement benefit scheme (the Gratuity Plan), covering eligible employees. Liabilities with regard to such gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation as at the end of the year. The gratuity plan is a funded plan administered by Company's own Trust which has subscribed to "Group Gratuity Scheme" of ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited.

Risk Management:

Investment risk - The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses related to the expected return on any particular investment.

Interest rate risk - The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.

Longevity risk - The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Salary risk - The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with reference to the future salaries of participants under the plan. Increase in salary due to adverse inflationary pressures might lead to higher liabilities.

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions maybe correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as and when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous year.

Note 47 - Financial instruments

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables and other liabilities. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, investments, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that are derived directly from its operations. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks viz. market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company's policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken.

Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identified assets or liabilities [Level 1 measurements] and lowest priority to unobservable inputs [Level 3 measurements].

The following levels have been used for classification:

• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active market

• Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs

• Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data.

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the fair value is determined using generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparty.

The fair value of trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities is considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these items due to their short-term nature. Where such items are non-current in nature, the same has been classified as Level 3 and fair value determined using discounted cash flow basis. There has been no change in the valuation methodology for Level 3 inputs during the year. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.

Financial risk management

"The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

i. Credit Risk

ii. Liquidity Risk

iii. Market Risk

Risk Management framework:

The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's risk management policy is set by the Risk Management Committee. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. A summary of the risks have been given below:

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and loans given. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

Trade and other receivables

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are wholesale, retail or institutional customers, their industry, trading history with the Company and existence of previous financial difficulties. The default in collection as a percentage to total receivable is low.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or any other financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk of damage to the Company's reputation.

The Company monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade receivables and loans together with expected cash outflows on trade payables and other financial liabilities.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices - such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company has insignificant interest bearing borrowings, the exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates is minimal. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives. Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Company. The functional currency of the Company is INR and maximum sales transactions are denominated in INR itself. Foreign currency transactions are mainly denominated in USD.

Price risk exposure

The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held by the Company in the mutual fund units and classified as fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual fund units, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company. The exposure of the Company's mutual fund investments to security price changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Note 48 - During the year ended March 31,2022 and March 31,2021 no material foreseeable loss was incurred for any long-term contract including derivative contracts.

Note 49 - The Management has considered the possible effects that may arise out of the COVID-19 pandemic in concluding on significant accounting judgements and estimates, inter-alia, recoverability of receivables, assessment for impairment of investments, intangible assets, inventory, based on the information available to date, both internal and external, to the extent relevant, while preparing these financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022. There is no material impact on these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022 owing to the pandemic. The eventual outcome of impact of the COVID 19 pandemic may be different from those estimated as on the date of approval of these financial statements.

Note 50 - The Code on Social Security, 2020 ('Code') relating to employee benefits during employment and postemployment benefits has been enacted. However, the date on which the Code will come into effect has not been notified. The Management will assess the impact of the Code and will give appropriate impact in the financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective.

Note 52 - The financial statements are approved for issue by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors at their meetings held on April 28, 2022.
