Note 1 (a)

USE OF ESTIMATE AND JUDGEMENT

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

A. Judgements in applying accounting policies

The judgements, apart from those involving estimations(see note below), that the Company has made in the process of applying its accounting policies and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements pertain to useful life of intangible assets. The Company is required to determine whether its intangible assets have indefinite or finite life which is a subject matter of judgement. Certain trademarks have been considered of having an indefinite useful life taking into account that there are no technical, technological or commercial risks of obsolescence or limitations under contract or law. Other trademarks have been amortized over their useful economic life. Refer notes to the financial statements.

B. Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

1. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets:

As described in the significant accounting policies, the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period.

2. Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party valuers, where required, to perform the valuation. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets, liabilities and share based payments are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

3. Actuarial Valuation:

The determination of Company’s liability towards defined benefit obligation to employees is made through independent actuarial valuation including determination of amounts to be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss and in other comprehensive income. Such valuation depend upon assumptions determined after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market. Information about such valuation is provided in notes to the financial statements.

4. Claims, Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

The Company has ongoing litigations with various regulatory authorities and third parties. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made based on management’s assessment of specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Such accruals are by nature complex and can take number of years to resolve and can involve estimation uncertainty. Information about such litigations is provided in notes to the financial statements.

2A Additional Notes to Defined Benefit Plans/Long Term Compensated Absences Defined Contribution Plans -

The employee’s gratuity fund scheme managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India is a defined benefit plan. The present value obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognized each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

Provident Fund, Pension and Gratuity Benefits are funded and Leave Encashment Benefits are unfunded in nature. The Defined Benefit Pension Plans are based on employees’ pensionable remuneration and length of service. Under the Provident Fund, Gratuity and Leave Encashment Schemes, employees are entitled to receive lump sum benefits.

Risk Management

The Defined Benefit Plans expose the Company to risk of actuarial deficit arising out of investment risk, interest rate risk and salary cost i nflation risk

Investment Risks: This may arise from volatility in asset values due to market fluctuations and impairment of assets due to credit losses. These Plans primarily invest in debt instruments such as Government securities and highly rated corporatebonds- the valuation of which i s inversely proportional to the interest rate movements.

Interest Rate Risk: The present value of Defined Benefit Plans l iability i s determined using the discount rate based on the market yields prevailing at the end of reporting period on Government bonds. A decrease in yields will increase the fund liabilities and vice-versa.

Salary Cost Inflation Risk: The present value of the Defined Benefit Plan liability i s 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.

These Plans have a relatively balanced mix of investments in order to manage the above risks. The investment strategy is designed based on the interest rate scenario, liquidity needs of the Plans and pattern of investment as prescribed undervarious statutes.

The Trustees regularly monitor the funding and investments of these Plans. Risk mitigation systems are in place to ensure that the health of the portfolio is regularly reviewed and investments do not pose any significant risk of impairment. Periodic audits are conducted to ensure adequacy of internal controls. Pension obligation of the employees is secured by purchasing annuities thereby de-risking the Plans from future payment obligation.

The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows :

3 Segment Reporting

The company’s operating business are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products. The four identified reportable segments are (i) Hand gloves, (ii) Garments (iii) Power generation segment. The secondary segment is the geographical segment based on the location of manufacturing unit.

The Chief Executive Officer (CODM) monitors the operating results of i ts business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance l s evaluated based on profit or loss and Is measured consistently.

The Company funds its operations through internal accruals. The Company aims at maintaining a strong capital base largely towards supporting the future growth of Its businesses as a going concern. During the year, the Company issued 520,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each at a premium of Rs 110/- each amountingto 624 Lakhs (2017- Nil) towards its issue of equity shares on preferential basis. The securities premium stood at Rs 6,94,88,500 as at 31st March, 2018 (2017 - Rs. 1,22,88,500).

C. Financial risk management objectives

The Company has a system-based approach to risk management, anchored to policies and procedures and internal financial controls aimed at ensuring early identification, evaluation and management of key financial risks (such as market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk) that may arise as a consequence of its business operations as well as its i nvesting and financing activities. Accordingly, the Company’s risk management framework has the objective of ensuring that such risks are managed within acceptable and approved risk parameters I n a disciplined and consistent manner and in compliance with applicable regulation. It also seeks to drive accountability I n this regard.

Liquidity Risk

The Company’s Current assets aggregate to Rs. 89,03,34,792 (2017 - Rs. 88,32,89,861 ; 2016 - Rs. 78,60,11,195) including Cash and cash equivalents and Other bank balances of Rs. 1,54,74,849 (2017 - Rs. 1,87,26,986; 2016 - Rs. 53,07,792) against an aggregate Current l iability of Rs. 64,09,22,978 (2017 - Rs. 70,55,01,638; 2016 - Rs. 63,63,10,725); Non-current l iabilities due between one year to three years amounting to Rs. 2,27,02,640 (2017 - Rs. 1,39,31,502 ; 2016 - Rs. 1,83,38,394) and Noncurrent I iability due after three years amounting to Rs. 47,68,286 (2017 - ‘ NIL; 2016 - Rs. 45,61,245) on the reporting date.

Further, while the Company’s total equity stands at Rs. 41,32,20,835 (2017 - Rs. 34,39,66,567; 2016 - Rs. 30,04,81,776), it has borrowings of Rs. 10,17,20,926 (2017 - Rs. 7,94,31,502; 2016 - Rs. 9,83,99,639). In such circumstances, l iquidity risk or the risk that the Company may not be able to settle or meet i ts obligations as they become due does not exist.

Market Risks

The Company is not an active investor in equity markets; it continues to hold certain investments in equity for long term value accretion.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company’s senior management is supported by a Senior officer that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Company. The financial risk appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company’s policies and risk objectives. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist personnel’s 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. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks.

Foreign currency risk

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currency (mainly US Dollar & Euro ) which are subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, including the Company’s net i nvestments i n foreign operations (with a functional currency other than Indian Rupee), are also subject to reinstatement risks.

The carrying amount of foreign currency denominated financial assets and l iabilities including derivative contracts, are as follows :

D. Fair value measurement Fair value hierarchy

Fair value of the financial i nstruments i s classified i n various fair value hierarchies based on the following three i evels :

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) i n active market for i dentical assets or i iabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted price included within l evel 1 that are observable for the asset or l iability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded i n an active market is determined using market approach and valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If significant i nputs required to fair value an i nstrument are observable, the i nstrument i s i ncluded i n Level 2. Derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs such as foreign exchange spot rates and forward rates at the end of the reporting period, yield curves, risk free rate of returns, volatility etc., as applicable.

Level 3: Inputs for the assets or i iabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable i nputs).

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 i s considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these i tems due to their short-term nature. Where such items are Non-current i n nature, the same has been classified as Level 3 and fair value determined using discounted cash flow basis. Similarly, unquoted equity instruments where most recent i nformation to measure fair value is insufficient, or if there is a wide range of possible fair cost has been considered as the best estimate of fair value.

There has been no change i n the valuation methodology for Level 3 inputs during the year. The Company has not classified any material financial i nstruments under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year.

6. Financial Instruments and Related Disclosures (Contd.)

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of assets and i iabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

7. First-time Adoption of Ind AS

(i) Ind AS 101 (First-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standards) provides a suitable starting point for accounting in accordance with Ind AS and is required to be mandatorily followed by first-time adopters. The Company has prepared the opening Balance Sheet as per Ind As as of 1st April, 2016 (the transition date) by :

a. recognising all assets and i iabilities whose recognition is required by Ind AS,

b. not recognising i tems of assets or i iabilities which are not permitted by Ind AS,

c. reclassifying items from previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to Ind AS as required under Ind AS, and

d. applying Ind AS i n measurement of recognised assets and liabilities.

A. Reconciliation of total comprehensive i ncome for the year ended 31st March, 2017 i s summarised as follows:

iii) Ind AS 101 mandates certain exceptions and allows first-time adopters exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has applied the following exemptions i n the financial statements:

a. Property, plant and equipment and i ntangible assets were carried in the Balance Sheet prepared i n accordance with previous GAAP on 31st March, 2016. Under Ind AS, the Company has elected to regard such carrying values as deemed cost at the date of transition.

(iv) In addition to the above, the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its previous GAAP financial statements, including the Balance Sheet as at 1st April, 2016 and the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2017 are detailed below:

a. Under previous GAAP, dividend payable on equity shares (including the tax thereon) was recognised as a liability i n the period to which it relates. Under Ind AS, dividends (including the tax thereon) to shareholders are recognised when declared by the members i n a general meeting.

b. Under previous GAAP, non-current investments were stated at cost. Where applicable, provision was made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in valuation of such investments. Under Ind AS, equity instruments [other than investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates] have been classified as Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) through an i rrevocable election at the date of transition.

c. Under previous GAAP, current i nvestments were stated at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these financial assets have been classified as Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on the date of transition and fair value changes after the date of transition has been recognised in profit or i oss.

d. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as currency forwards, options and exchange traded commodity futures, to hedge its foreign currency risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Under previous GAAP, the net mark to market losses on the outstanding portfolios of such instruments, other than those designated as cash flow hedges, were recognised i n the profit or i oss, and the net gain, if any, were i gnored.

Under Ind AS, changes i n the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognised i n equity. Amounts deferred in equity are transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss i n line with the hedged transaction. Changes i n the fair value of any derivative instruments that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognised i n the Statement of Profit and Loss.

e. Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses related to the defined benefit schemes for gratuity were recognised in profit or l oss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability/asset which is recognised in OCI. Consequently, the tax effect of the same has also been recognised i n OCI instead of profit or l oss.

f. Under previous GAAP, movements in cash credit facilities, repayable on demand, were reflected in cash flows from financing activities in cash flow statement. Under Ind AS, such cash credit facilities are included in cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement.
