2.6. Operating Cycle for current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current depending on the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 and Ind AS 1.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: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

- Level 3: Inputs which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

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 maintenance of professional standards.

11.2. Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities have been offset wherever the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and where the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority.

15.1. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 21 to 30 days.

15.2. No trade or other receivables are due from directors or other officers of the company either severally or jointly with any other person. Nor any trade or other receivable are due from firms or private companies respectively in which any director is a partner, a director or a member.

44.6 Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analyses 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:

5. TRANSITION TO IND AS

5.1 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 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.

5.2 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions.

5.3 Optional Exemptions Availed

a Property Plant and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Investment Properties

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 carrying value at the transition date except for certain class of assets which are measured at fair value 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 faces 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 (other than investment in subsidiaries and associates) as FVOCI on the date of transition.

5.4 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.

5.5 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.

5.6 Notes to First Time Adoption a Fair valuation as deemed cost for Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company have considered fair value for property, viz land admeasuring over 7.46 acres, situated in India, with impact of Rs. 3391.46 lacs in accordance with stipulations of Ind AS 101 with the resultant impact being accounted for in the reserves.

b Fair valuation of Financial Assets

i Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as longterm investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and realisability. 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 FVOCI - Equity investments reserve as at the date of transition and subsequently in the other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2017.

ii Under previous GAAP, the 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.

c Fair Valuation of Derivative Instrument

Under previous GAAP, in case of forward contracts covered under AS 11, difference between forward rate and spot rate was recognised in profit or loss over the term of contract. Under Ind AS, derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit & loss.

d Expected Credit Loss Model

Under previous GAAP, the Group had created provision for doubtful debts based on specific amount for incurred losses. Under Ind AS, the allowance for doubtful debts has been determined based on expected credit loss model.

e Provision for Expected Sales Return

The Company has recognised provision for expected sales return on account of breakage and expiry of goods. The same has resulted in decrease in revenue and increase in provisions.

f 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 a separate component of equity.

g Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the 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 profit or loss.

h Reclassification between Previous GAAP and Ind AS

i. Excise duty has been reclassified from revenue to other expenses.

ii. Cash discounts to customers has been reclassified from other expenses to revenue.

i Retained Earnings

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

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

7. 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.

7.1 Fair Valuation Technique

Investments in mutual funds are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc. These derivatives are estimated by using the pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters, contractual terms, period to maturity, maturity parameters and foreign exchange rates. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgement, and inputs thereto are readily observable from market rates. The said valuation has been carried out by the counter party with whom the contract has been entered with and management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with the counterparties and believes them to be insignificant and not requiring any credit adjustments.

7.2 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.

7.3 Explanation to the fair value hierarchy

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, quoted investments 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, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

7.4 Level 1 Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.

7.5 Level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

7.6 Level 3 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration included in level 3.

8 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT: OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES.

Financial management of the Company has been receiving attention of the top management of the Company. The management considers finance as the lifeline of the business and therefore, financial management is carried out meticulously on the basis of detailed management information systems and reports at periodical intervals extending from daily reports to long-term plans. Importance is laid on liquidity and working capital management with a view to reduce over-dependence on borrowings and reduction in interest cost. Various kinds of financial risks and their mitigation plans are as follows:

8.1 Credit Risk

The credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counter party failing to discharge an obligation. The credit risk is controlled by analysing credit limits and credit worthiness of customers on continuous basis to whom the credit has been granted,obtaining necessary approvals for credit and taking security deposits from trade channels.

a. Provision for expected credit losses

The Company measures Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for financial instruments based on historical trend, industry practices and business environment in which the Company operates.

For financial assets, a credit loss is the present value of the difference between:

(i) the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity under the contract; and

(ii) the cash flows the the entity expects to receive.

The Company recognises in profit or loss, the amount of expected Credit Losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date in accordance with Ind AS 109.

In determination of allowances for credit losses on trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedience by computing the expected credit losses based on ageing matrix, which has taken into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward looking information.

8.2 Liquidity Risk

The Company determines its liquidity requirement in the short, medium and long term. This is done by drawings up cash forecast for short term and long term needs.

The Company manage its liquidity risk in a manner so as to meet its normal financial obligations without any significant delay or stress. Such risk is managed through ensuring operational cash flow while at the same time maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalent position. The management has arranged for diversified funding sources and adopted a policy of managing assets with liquidity monitoring future cash flow and liquidity on a regular basis. Surplus funds not immediately required are invested in certain mutual funds and fixed deposit which provide flexibility to liquidate. Besides, it generally has certain undrawn credit facilities which can be assessed as and when required; such credit facilities are reviewed at regular basis.

d The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements (if any). The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the tables above reflect market forward interest rates at the respective reporting dates and these amounts may change as market interest rates change. The future cash flows on derivative instruments may be different from the amount in the above tables as exchange rates change. Except for these financial liabilities, it is not expected that cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts. When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined with reference to conditions existing at the reporting date.

8.3 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three type of risks: Foreign Exchange Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Other Price Risk.

8.4 Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk is the exposure of the Company to the potential impact of movements in foreign exchange rates. The Company imports various raw materials viz. chemicals, drugs, API, packing materials viz. granules, items of stores and spares and capital goods as per its requirements from time to time and also borrows funds in foreign currencies. This results in foreign currency risk to the Company. Similarly, company's exports are also exposed to foreign currency risks.

For the Foreign Exchange exposures risk management, the Company's Policy is to adopt a flexible approach in hedging its risk. For this, the Company from time to time takes the view from banks and foreign exchange experts and based upon the same and also considering macro-economic factors, forms a view and whenever deemed necessary, hedges its foreign exchange risk. The hedging strategies are taken after careful study/ analysis of foreign exchange market to minimize to the extent possible, any effect of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.

b Sensitivity Analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the INR against USD and EUR as at 31st March would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and Profit and Loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

8.5. Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to risk due to interest rate fluctuation on long term borrowings. Such borrowings are based on fixed as well as floating interest rate. Interest rate risk is determined by current market interest rates, projected debt servicing capability and view on future interest rate. Such interest rate risk is actively evaluated and is managed through portfolio diversification and exercise of prepayment/refinancing options where considered necessary.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on surplus funds parked in fixed deposits and interest bearing investments. To manage such risks, such investments are done mainly for short durations, in line with the expected business requirements for such funds if any.

8.6 Other Price Risk

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 rates. the Company do not have any long-term debt obligations. Moreover, the short-term borrowings of the Company do not have a significant fair value or cash flow interest rate risk due to their short tenure.

However, the Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on surplus funds parked in mutual funds (debt oriented) measured at fair value through Profit and Loss.

8.7 Other Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk, which arises from mutual fund (equity oriented) measured at fair value through Profit and Loss. In order to deploy the surplus funds, necessary planning is done by the Finance & Accounts Department after considering the fund planning of subsequent months and overall fund position. Various investments options are evaluated within the investment options allowed by the Board to arrive at proper decision.

The Investment so made are reviewed every fortnight. To spread the concentration of funds as well as risks, investments in Mutual Funds are scattered and utmost care and vigilance is undertaken before deployment of funds for investment purpose to ensure credit worthiness of the investment and availability of such surplus invested funds to meet any unforeseen situation that may arise.

b Sensitivity Analysis

The table below summarise the impact of increases/ decreases of the index on the Company's equity investment and profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased/ decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the company's equity instruments moved in line with the index.

9 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company objective to manage its capital is to ensure continuity of business while at the same time provide reasonable returns to its various stakeholders but keep associated costs under control. In order to achieve this, requirement of capital is reviewed periodically with reference to operating and business plans that take into account capital expenditure and strategic Investments. Sourcing of capital is done through judicious combination of equity/internal accruals and borrowings, both short term and long term. Net debt ( total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) to equity ratio is used to monitor capital.

10 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operation (pursuant to Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 105)

(a) The Board of Directors has decided to discontinue operations of Mandideep Unit due to continuing loss during its meeting dated 26th December, 2017. The disposal of assets therein including paying of liabilities are expected to be within a year since balance sheet date.

Consequent upon above relevant unit has been accounted for as discontinued operation with departure from cost model of carrying cost of fixed capital outlay which have been accounted for fair value. Similar adjustment has also been made for carrying inventories in terms of fair value in terms of Para-25 of Ind AS 1

No other asset belongs to the disposal group going by the latter term defined in Appendix-'A' of Ind AS 105 neither the liabilities relate to non-current-assets held for sale or disposal group. As such no other asset or liability qualify for disclosure within the meaning of Para-40, Ind AS-105

11 IMPAIRMENT

The Company has not found any indication of impairment of the assets as per Ind AS 38 and accordingly no further exercise for calculating impairment loss has been undertaken.

12 The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend of Rs.5.50 per equity share of Rs.10/- each (amounting to Rs. 378.43 Lacs including dividend distribution tax, which has not been provided) for the financial year ended 31st March,2018, which is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the Company.

13 Previous GAAP figures have been reclassified/regrouped to confirm the presentation requirements under IND AS and the requirements laid down in Division-II of the Schedule-III of the Companies Act,2013.
