2. Use of estimates and management judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) requires management of the company to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets,liabilities and related disclosures concerning the items involved as well as contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

The estimates and management’s judgments are based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable and prudent in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected

The areas involving critical judgement are as follows:

i. Useful lives of property plant and equipment / intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment / intangible assets are depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful lives, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation / amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation / amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

ii. Provisions and contingencies

The assessments undertaken in recognizing provisions and contingencies have been made in accordance with Ind AS 37, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. The evaluation of the likelihood of the contingent events has required best judgment by management regarding the probability of exposure to potential loss The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability requires the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change.

iii. Post-employment benefit plans

Employee benefit obligations are measured on the basis of actuarial assumptions which include mortality and withdrawal rates as well as assumptions concerning future developments in discount rates, the rate of salary increases and the inflation rate. The Company considers that the assumptions used to measure its obligations are appropriate and documented. However, any changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the resulting calculations.

iv. Income taxes

The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgements are involved in estimating budgeted profits for the purpose of paying advance tax, determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and unused tax credit to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit would be available against which the losses could be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Note 9 Disclosures As Required By Indian Accounting Standard (Ind As) 108 Operating Segments Identification of Segments

The Company’s operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Company that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors (the’Chief Operating Decision Maker’ as defined in Ind AS 108 -’Operating Segments’).

The Chief Operational Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by Business Segment. Segment performance is evaluated based on their revenue growth, operating income and return on capital employeed. Operating Segments have been identified by the management and reported taking into account, the nature of products and services, the differing risks and returns, the organization structure, and the internal financial reporting systems.

Operating Segments

The Company is organized into three main business segments based on the products include :

- Sugar which consists of manufacture and sale of Sugar and its byproducts and,

- Chemicals/Distillery which consists of manufacture and sale of RS, SDS, ENA, Ethanol, Ethyl Acetate, IMFL etc.

- Power which consists of co-generation and sale of power

No operating segments have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Company

Geographical segments

Since the Company’s activities/ operations are primarily within the country and considering the nature of products/ services it deals in, the risks and returns are same and as such there is only one geographical segment.

Segment Accounting Policies: In addition to the significant accounting policies applicable to the operating segments as set out in note 2, the accounting policies in relation to segment accounting are as under:

a. Segment revenue and results:

Revenue and expenses directly attributable to segments are reported under each reportable segment.

Other expenses and incomes which are not directly attributable to any business segment are shown as unallocable expenditure (net of unallocated income).

b. Segment assets and liabilities:

“Assets and liabilities that are directly attributable or allocable to segments are disclosed under each reportable segment. Unallocated assets include deferred tax, investments, interest bearing deposits loans to subsidiary and income tax refund. Unallocated liabilities include interest bearing liabilities, tax provisions and deferred tax.Capital expenditure pertains to additions made to fixed assets during the year and includes capital work in progress”

c. Inter segment sales/transfer:

Transactions between segments are primarily for materials which are transferred at cost /market determined prices. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

(i) Defined contribution plan :

Details of contribution to defined contribution plan to Regional Provident Commissioner and the Central Provident Fund recognised as expense during the period are as under :

(ii) Defined benefit plan :

(a) In respect of Non funded defined benefit scheme of gratuity (Based on Actuarial Valuation) :

The gratuity plan is governed by the payment of Gratuity Act,1972. Under the said Act an employee who has completed five years of services is entitled to specific benefit. The Gratuity plans provide a lumpsum payments to employee at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment . The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service & salary at retirement age.

The company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

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 (as shown in financial statements).

Salary Escalation Risk : The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase 0.50% per annum of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan’s liability.

Actual mortality & disability : deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation can impact the liabilities.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss

Sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The sensitivity analysis above has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring as at the balance sheet date.

All sensitives are calculated using the same actuarial method as for the disclosed present value of the defined benefits obligation at year end.

b) In respect of funded defined benefit scheme of provident fund (Based on actuarial valuation) :

The Company’s Contribution to defined benefit plan to the irrecoverable trust, set up by the Company aggregating to Rs. 5.47 Crore (P. Y. Rs. 3.91 Crore) has been recognised in statement of profit and loss account. The Company is under obligation to markup any short fall in the fund.

The following table sets out the status of Provident Fund as per the actuarial valuation by the independent Actuary appointed by the Company:

Note 10 : Financial Risk Management

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company principal financial asset includes loan , trade and other receivables, and cash and others financial assets that arise directly from its operations.

The Company’s activities are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

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 types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks, such as regulatory risk and commodity price risk. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. “

(a) 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 changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s borrowings obligations with floating interest rates.

(b) Foreign currency risk

“Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates is limited to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency), which are not material.”

Foreign currency sensitivity

1% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates will have no material impact on Profit.

(c) Regulatory risk

Sugar industry is regulated both by Central Government as well as State Government. Central and State Governments policies and regulations affects the Sugar industry and the Company’s operations and profitability. Distillery business is also dependent on the Government policy.

(d) Commodity price risk

Sugar industry being cyclical in nature, realisations get adversely affected during downturn. Higher cane price or higher production than the demand ultimately affect profitability. The Company has mitigated this risk by well integrated business model by diversifying into co-generation and distillation, thereby utilizing the by-products.

Credit risk

“Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company’s sugar sales are mostly in cash. Power and ethanol are sold to state government entities, thereby the credit default risk is significantly mitigated.

The impairment for trade receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each balance sheet date.”

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, however, the Company continues to attempt to recover the receivables. Where recoveries are made, subsequently these are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company major exposure of credit risk is from trade receivables, which are unsecured and derived from external customers.

Expected credit loss for trade receivable on simplified approach :

The ageing analysis of the trade receivables (gross of provision) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due:

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss on portfolio of its trade receivable. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default data over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward- looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historically observed default rates are updated and changes in forward-looking estimates are analysed. In case of probability of non collection, default rate is 100%. However, there is no material expected credit loss based on the past experience.

“There is no change in the loss allowances measured using expected credit loss model (ECL).The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.”

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash credit facilities and short term loans.

Note 11 : Capital Management

(a) Risk Management

“For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The Company’s capital management is intended to maximise the return to shareholders for meeting the long-term and short-term goals of the Company through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in the financial condition and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders (buy back its shares) or issue new shares.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. The Company has complied with these covenants and there have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

Note 12: Transition to Ind AS

Accordingly, the Company has prepared its financial statement to comply with the Ind AS for the year ending March 31, 2018, together with the comparative date as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017, as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, Company’s opening balance sheet was prepared as at April 01, 2016, the date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at April 01, 2016 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Note 13 (A): Exemptions and Exceptions opted by the Company on the date of transition:-

Ind AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions and exceptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions and exceptions:

a) Exemptions and Exceptions from retrospective application

1. The Company has elected not to apply Ind AS 103- Business Combinations, retrospectively to past business combinations that occurred before April 01, 2016. Consequent to use of this exemption from retrospective application:

i) The carrying amount of assets and liabilities acquired pursuant to past business combinations and recognised in the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, are considered to be the deemed cost under Ind AS, on the date of acquisition. After the date of acquisition, measurement of such assets and liabilities is in accordance with respective Ind AS. Also, there is no change in classification of such assets and liabilities;

ii) The Company had not recognised assets and liabilities that neither were recognised in the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP nor qualify for recognition under Ind AS in the Balance Sheet of the acquire;

iii) The Company had excluded from its opening Balance Sheet (As at April 1, 2016), those assets and liabilities which were recognised in accordance with Previous GAAP but do not qualify for recognition as an asset or liability under Ind AS.

2 The Company has elected to continue with carrying value of all Property, plant and equipment under the previous GAAP as deemed cost as at the transition date i.e. April 01, 2016. Under the previous GAAP, Property, plant and equipment were stated at their original cost (net of accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment), if any, adjusted by revaluation of certain assets.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of Capital work in progress as recognized under the previous GAAP as deemed cost as at the transition date.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for intangible assets (computer softwares) as recognized under the previous GAAP as deemed cost as at the transition date. Under the previous GAAP, Computer Software was stated at its original cost, net of accumulated amortization.

3. The Company fair valued its investments in its subsidiaries and used that fair value as deemed cost for measuring such investments at the time of transition to Ind AS.

Under Ind AS 109, at initial recognition of a financial asset, an entity may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income. Ind AS 101 allows such designation of previously recognized financial assets, as ‘FVTOCI’ on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of transition to Ind AS.

Accordingly, the Company has designated its investments in certain equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as at the date of transition to Ind AS.

Consequently, the carrying amount of such interest free loans as per the financial statements of the Company prepared under Previous GAAP is considered for recognition in the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet.

5. Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. However, the Company has used Ind AS 101 exemption and assessed all arrangements for embedded leases based on conditions in place as at the date of transition.

6. Designation of previously recognised financial instruments : Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS.

b) Estimates

The estimates as at April 01, 2016 and as at March 31, 2017 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with Indian GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies).

* Notes to first time adoption of Ind AS

1) FairValue of Investments

Under the previous GAAP, Long term investments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary diminution in the value of such investment.

Further, in case of a subsidiary, the Company has the option to account for investment in shares either at cost/deemed cost or FVTOCI or FVTPL as at the transition date.

a) Under Ind AS, financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) are fair valued at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Mutual fund investments have been classified as FVTPL.

b) Under Ind AS, financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) are fair valued at each reporting date with changes in fair value (net of deferred taxes) recognized directly in other comprehensive income. The Company has make an irrevocable election to measure its certain equity Investments through OCI. Consequently, fair value of such equity instruments designated at FVTOCI has resulted in a increase in other comprehensive income.

c) Under Ind AS 101,The Company has an option to fair value its investments in its subsidiary Company and treated that fair value as deemed cost for measuring such investments in the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet. Accordingly the Company has fair valued one of its subsidiaries and treat that value as deemed cost for subsequent measeurement.

2) Defined benefit liabilities

Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/ asset which is recognised in other comprehensive income. Consequently, the tax effect of the same has also been recognised in other comprehensive income under Ind AS instead of the statement of profit and loss.

3) Deferred tax

Under previous 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 previous GAAP. Moreover, carryforward of unused tax credits are to be treated as deferred tax assets which was earlier considered as other non-financial assets.

In addition, the various transitional adjustments lead to temporary differences. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or a separate component of equity.

4) Sale of goods

Under previous GAAP, sale of goods was presented as net of excise duty. However, under Ind AS, sale of goods includes excise duty. Excise duty on sale of goods is presented as a part of other expenses in statement of profit and loss.

5) Government Grant- Related to assets

Under previous GAAP, grants received related to assets has been deducted from the carrying cost of related assets. Under Ind AS, grants related to assets shall be presented in the balance sheet by setting up the grant as deferred income. The grant set up as deferred income is recognised in profit and loss on systematic basis over the useful life of assets. Consequently the Company has presented the grant as deferred income and recognised in profit and loss.

6) Borrowings and Government Grant

Under Ind AS when loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or other related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as a government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognised and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received.

7) Security deposits

Under previous GAAP ,interest free lease security deposits(that are refundable in cash on completion of lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS all financial assets are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognised as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased as at the date of transition to Ind AS with corresponding increase in prepaid rent.

8) Equity dividend

Under previous GAAP, proposed dividends including Dividend Distribution tax (DDT) is recognised as a liability in the period to which it relates, irrespective of when it is declared. Under Ind AS, a proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the Company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.

Therefore, the liability for the year ended on March 31, 2016 recorded for dividend has been derecognised against retained earnings on April 01, 2016. The proposed dividend for the year ended on March 31, 2017 recognized under Indian GAAP was reduced with a corresponding impact in the retained earnings.

9) Preference share capital and dividend thereon

Under previous GAAP, the cumulative redeemable preference shares issued by the Company are treated as part of share capital and cumulative dividend which is not declared has been shown as contingent liability. Under Ind AS the same are classified as liabilities. The dividend including DDT on preference shares is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
