2.6. Operating Cycle for current and non-current classification

All 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 the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS l.The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

- Expected to be realized or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All the other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities respectively.

2.7. Measurement of Fair Values

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

- Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

- Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable and

- Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets & liabilities. Involvement of external valuers is decided by the management of the company considering the requirements of Ind AS and selection criteria include market knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.

2.8. New Standards / Amendments to Existing Standard issued but not yet effective upto the date of issuance of the Company's Financial Statement are disclosed below:

7.2 Provident Fund & Employee's State Insurance Contribution

Provident Fund as per the provisions of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Employee State Insurance contribution as per the provisions of the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948.

7.3 Defined Benefit Plan:

The following are the types of defined benefit plans

7.4 Gratuity Plan

Every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to Gratuity as per the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The present value of defined obligation and related current cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuation being carried out at Balance Sheet date.

7.5 Risk Exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

ASSET VOLATILITY

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The Company has made investment in Plan Asset through Life Insurance Corporation in Qualified Insurance Policy.

CHANGES IN BOND YIELDS

A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans' bond holdings.

SALARY GROWTH RISK

The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the salary of plan participants will increase the plan liabilities.

LIFE EXPECTANCY

The plan liability are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the plans' liabilities. This is particularly significant where inflationary increases result in higher sensitivity to changes in life expectancy.

The Gratuity Scheme is invested in a New Group Gratuity Cash Accumulation Plan Policy offered by Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). The information on the allocation of the fund into major asset classes and expected return on each major class are not readily available. The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on market expectations, at the beginning of the period, for returns over the entire life of the related obligation

7.6 Asset-Liability Matching Strategy

The Company's investment are being managed by Life Insurance Company and at the year end interest is being credited to the fund value. The company has not changed the process used to manage its risk from previous periods . The Company's investment are fully secured and would be sufficient to cover its obligations.

7.7 The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

7.8 At 31st March 2018, the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 10 years (previous year 11 years). The distribution of the timing of benefits payment i.e., the maturity analysis of the benefit payments is as follows:

7.9 The Company expects to contribute Rs."NIL" (previous year Rs.37.75 Lacs) to its gratuity fund in 2018-19

8. Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period. Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:

* Post-empioyment benefits and other Long-term benefits is being disclosed based on actual payment made on retirement/resignation of services, but does not includes provision made on actuarial basis as the same is available for all the employees together.

8.1 Major terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

Transactions with related parties are carried out in the normal course of business.

9. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company's performance based on only one segment i.e. manufacturing and trading of Potable Alcohol.

No customer individually accounts for more than 10% of the revenues from the external customers during the years.

10. Transition to Ind AS

10.1 Basis for Preparation

For all period up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company has prepared its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 are the Company's first annual Ind AS Financial Statements and have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The Company has prepared the opening balance sheet as per Ind AS as at April 1, 2016 (the transition date) by recognizing all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS, not recognizing items of assets or liabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS, by reclassifying certain items from Previous GAAP to Ind AS as required under the Ind AS, and applying Ind AS in the measurement of recognized assets and liabilities. The accounting policies that the Company has used in its opening Ind-AS Balance Sheet may have differed from those that it used for its previous GAAP. The resulting adjustments arising from events and transactions occurring before the date of transition to Ind-AS has been recognized directly in retained earnings at the date of transition.

The accounting policies set out in note 3 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at 1 April 2016 (the date of transition). This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP, and how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

10.2 Exceptions and Exemptions Applied

Ind AS 101 "First-time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards” (hereinafter referred to as Ind AS 101) allows first time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain IND AS, effective for April 1, 2016 opening balance sheet. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions.

10.2.1 Optional Exemptions Availed

a Property Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets

As permitted by Para D5-D8B of Ind AS 101, the Company has elected to measure items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at its previous GAAP carrying value on the transition date as deemed cost.

b Determining whether an arrangement contains a Lease

Para D9-D9AA of Ind AS 101 includes an optional exemption that permits an entity to apply the relevant requirements in Appendix C of Ind As 17 "Leases” for determining whether an arrangement existing at the date of transition contains a lease by considering the facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition (rather than at the inception of the arrangement). The Company has applied the above transition provision and has assessed all the arrangements at the date of transition.

c Designation of previously recognised financial instruments

Para D19B of Ind AS 101 permits an entity to designate particular investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) based on facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS (rather at initial recognition). The Company has opted to avail this exemption to designate its investments in equity instruments as FVOCI on the date of transition.

10.2.2 Mandatory Exceptions a Estimates

As per Para 14 of Ind AS 101, an entity's estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS at the end of the comparative period presented in the entity's first Ind AS financial statements, as the case may be, should be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with the previous GAAP unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. However, the estimates should be adjusted to reflect any differences in accounting policies.

As per Para 16 of the standard, where application of Ind AS requires an entity to make certain estimates that were not required under previous GAAP, those estimates should be made to reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition or at the end of the comparative period.

The Company's estimates under Ind AS are consistent with the above requirement. Key estimates considered in preparation of the financial statement that were not required under the previous GAAP are listed below:

Fair Valuation of financial instruments carried at FVTPL and/ or FVOCI.

Impairment of financial assets based on the expected credit loss model.

Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortized cost.

b De-recognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities

As per Para B2 of Ind AS 101, an entity should apply the derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109, "Financial Instruments”, prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Para B3 gives an option to the entity to apply the derecognition requirements from a date of its choice if the information required to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the initially accounting for those transactions. The company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.

c Classification and measurement of Financial Assets

Para B8 - B8C of Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition if retrospective application is impracticable.

Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets based on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition. Measurement of the financial assets accounted at amortized cost has been done retrospectively.

10.3 Impact of Transition to Ind AS

The following is a summary of the effects of the differences between IND AS and Indian GAAP on the Company's total equity shareholders' funds and profit and loss for the financial periods previously reported under Indian GAAP following the date of transition to IND AS.

10.3.1 Notes to First Time Adoption

a Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

i Investment in Equity instruments: Under the previous GAAP, investments in Equity instruments were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and reliability Long-term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments (other than equity instruments designated as at FVOCI) have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI have been recognised in other equity under Equity Investment through FVOCI as at the date of transition and subsequently in the other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2017.

ii Fair valuation of interest free security deposits : Under previous GAAP, interest free security deposit were carried at cost. Under Ind AS the same are measured at fair value on initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

iii Application of effective interest rate on borrowing: Under Indian GAAP, transaction costs incurred in connection with borrowings are amortised upfront and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period. Under Ind AS, transaction costs are included in the initial recognition amount of financial liability and charged to profit or loss using the effective interest method.

b Expected Credit Loss Model

Under Ind AS, the impairment allowances for doubtful receivables/advances has been determined based on expected credit loss model as per the requirements of Ind AS 109. The provision created on the date of transition has been adjusted with retained earning and subsequent adjustments in the provision has been taken to statement of profit and loss account.

c Derecognition of Goodwill

The Company has derecognised goodwill at the date of transition as it does not meet the recognition criteria of Intangible Assets.

d Proposed Dividend

Under Indian GAAP, proposed dividends are recognized as liability in the period to which they relate irrespective of the approval by shareholders. Under Ind AS, a proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the entity (on approval of Shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.

In the case of the entity, the declaration of dividend occurs after period end. Therefore, the liability for the year ended 31 March 2016 recorded for dividend has been derecognised against retained earnings on 1 April 2016.

e Deferred Tax

Indian GAAP requires Deferred tax accounting using the Income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP.

In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to different temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or Other comprehensive income reserve.

f Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under the previous GAAP, these Remeasurements were forming part of statement of profit or loss for the year. Under Ind AS, Remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit or loss.

g Spare Part considered as Property, Plant and Equipment

As per Ind AS 16, Spare parts, Stand- by equipment and Servicing equipment are recognised as Property, Plant and Equipment ('PPE') when they meet the following criteria:

Are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and

Are expected to be used during more than one period.

Based on the above provision, Stores and Spares satisfying above criteria are de-recognised from Inventory and capitalized as PPE from the date of purchase.

h Leasehold land considered as Operating Lease

Under IGAAP, Leasehold Land were classified as Fixed Assets as the standard on leases excluded Land. However, as per Ind AS 17, where the substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset has not been transferred in the name of Company, the Company has classified such land under Operating Leases. The amount paid towards such leases has been shown as prepayments under Other non-current assets & Other current assets.

i Reclassification between Previous GAAP and Ind AS

i. Excise duty and Export duty which were earlier netted off with revenue now has been grossed up and separately shown as expenses.

ii. Trade discounts, Rebates to customers (both primary and secondary) has been reclassified from other expenses to revenue.

iii. Other necessary reclassification are in line with Ind AS.

j Retained Earnings

Retained earnings as at April 1, 2016 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

11. The management assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, current borrowings, current loans and other financial assets & liabilities approximates their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

12. The management considers that the carrying amounts of Financial assets and Financial liabilities recognised at nominal cost/amortised cost in the Financial statements approximate their fair values.

13. Non current borrowings has been contracted at floating rates of interest, which are reset at short intervals. Fair value of floating interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying value subject to adjustments made for transaction cost.

14. Fair Value Hierarchy

The following are the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair value are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels of fair value measurement as prescribed under the Ind AS 113 "Fair Value Measurement". An explanation of each level follows underneath the tables.

14.1 During the year ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfer into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

14.2 Explanation to the Fair Value hierarchy

The Company measures Financial instruments, such as, unquoted investments and financial guarantee at fair value at each reporting date. 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. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The valuation of unquoted shares and financial guarantee have been made based on level 3 inputs as per the hierarchy mentioned in the Accounting Policies. The valuation of unquoted equity instrument and financial guarantee have been valued based on the valuation technique applicable.
