    1. Relevant Extracts of Rationale of the Scheme and the benefits of the Scheme as perceived by the Board of Directors of the respective Companies: Clause II of the Scheme (i.e. Rationale for the Scheme) is as under.

"The Transferor Company, listed on BSE Limited and the Transferee Company, listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, both are a part of the same group. Further, the Transferor Company is a subsidiary of the Transferee Company wherein the Transferee Company holds majority shareholding in the Transferor Company. The main business of PSML has been manufacturing of cotton yarn and it has a huge freehold land of ~ 34 acres at Plot No 2, Village Alte, Tal. Hatkanangale, Dist. Kolhapur (near textile hub Ichalkaranji) and ~ 20000 spindle capacity for spinning. The land, machinery, infrastructure and all other resources available with the Transferor Company can be utilized in cost effective and efficient manner to carry out Transferee Company's business expansion. The Transferor and Transferee's industrial units are situated within a distance of ~ 40 kilometers. Hence, it is proposed to amalgamate Transferor Company into the Transferee Company in this Scheme. Further, the Amalgamation of the Transferor Company into the Transferee Company would inter alia have the following benefits:

  • a. Consolidation of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company will achieve simplified corporate structure, rationalise the number of listed entities and result in a single listed entity with combined businesses.
  • b. Provide an opportunity to leverage combined assets and build a stronger sustainable business. Specifically, it will also enable optimal utilization of existing resources which are in excess of the current business requirements of the Transferor Company and provide an opportunity to fully leverage assets, capacities, experience and infrastructure of the Transferor Company and Transferee Company.

  • c. Reducing managerial overlaps involved in operating multiple entities, enable cost savings and effective utilization of valuable resources which will enhance the management focus thereby leading to increase in operational and management efficiency; integrate business functions; eliminate duplication and rationalization of administrative expenses.
  • d. Synchronization of efforts to achieve uniform corporate policy, greater integration and greater financial strength and flexibility for the Transferee Company.
  • e. Better value creation for the shareholders of both the companies enabling the public shareholders to hold shares of the combined listed entity.
  • f. Upon completion of the amalgamation, the Transferor Company will be dissolved. Consequently, there would be lesser regulatory and legal compliance obligations including accounting, reporting requirements, statutory and internal audit compliance requirements, tax filings, company law compliances, Stock Exchange compliances etc. and therefore reduction in administrative costs.

The intended Scheme is not prejudicial to the interest of the creditors or the employees of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company."

24. Comments via observation letters dated 25 March 2021 & 26 March 2021 issued by Stock Exchanges:

Pursuant to the observation letters dated 25 March, 2021 issued by BSE Limited to Transferor Company and 25 March, 2021 & 26 March, 2021 issued by BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, respectively to the Transferee Company, following information and facts on methods of valuation are provided below:

  • $\hat{L}$ In case of ICIL only one method of valuation i.e. Market Approach has been used because its shares are frequently traded on Stock Exchanges, and market price reflects significant multiple of book value. Therefore, it was inappropriate to consider cost and income approach in case of ICIL. Further, ICIL is a listed Company and information related to the future profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flows is price sensitive and hence was not provided to the valuer.
  • $ii$ Two Methods of Valuation i.e. Cost and Market Approach have been used for PSML and Income approach method has not been used as PSML is a listed Company and information related to the future profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flows is price sensitive and hence was not provided to the valuer. Further, PSML's production was stopped at the time of appointed date."

Indo Count Industries Limited (hereinafter referred to as "ICIL" or the "Transferee Company") is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L72200PN1988PLC068972 and having its registered office at Office No. 1, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur - 416109 Maharashtra, India. The Transferee Company was incorporated in the year 1988 as Vishnu Aluminium Limited and subsequently, name was changed to Indo Count Industries Limited. The equity shares of the Transferee Company are listed on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (together the "Stock Exchanges"). The Transferee Company holds 1,43,41,280 equity shares of Rs 10/- each of the Transferor Company constituting 74.53% of the total paid up equity share capital of the Transferor Company. The Transferee Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of home textiles and its products broadly falls under the categories of Bed Sheets, Pillow Cover and Comforter. As per the audited financials for the year ended 31 March 2020, ICIL reported revenue from operations of INR 20,801.3 mn and Profit After Tax ("PAT") of INR 731.0 mn.

Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited (hereinafter referred to as "PSML" or the "Transferor Company") is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L17119PN1990PLC058139 and having its registered office at Office No. 2, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur – 416109, Maharashtra, India. The equity shares of the Transferor Company are listed on BSE Limited. The Transferor Company is a subsidiary of the Transferee Company. The Transferor Company is authorised to carry on the inter alia the business of manufacturing of cotton yarn. As per the audited financials for the year ended 31 March 2020, PSML reported revenue from operations of INR 694.1 mn and PAT of INR (-) 26.8 mn.

I understand that the Companies are contemplating the merger in nature of amalgamation of PSML into ICIL. Accordingly, the valuation of equity shares of both the companies is required for compliance with Section 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Purpose").

I further understand that as per the draft Scheme, PSML is proposed to be amalgamated into ICIL. As a consideration for the Proposed Amalgamation, equity shareholders of PSML would be issued equity shares of ICIL, in lieu of their shareholdings in PSML.

For the aforementioned Purpose, the Board of Directors of the Companies have jointly appointed me to recommend a fair exchange ratio, for the issue of ICIL's equity shares to the equity shareholders of PSML, to be placed before the Board of Directors of the Companies.

The scope of my services is to conduct a relative valuation of equity shares of the Companies and report a fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation in accordance with internationally accepted valuation standards/methods and valuation standards issued by ICAI Registered Valuer Organisation (RVO).

Valuation Bases

The valuation bases used for the Report is 'Relative Value'. As per IVS 103 issued by ICAI RVO, in transactions of the nature of merger or amalgamation of companies or merger or demerger of businesses, the consideration is often discharged primarily by issue of securities in the nature equity of the acquirer or transferee entity with reference to an exchange ratio or entitlement ratio, considering the relative values. Such relative values are generally arrived at by applying an appropriate valuation approach or a combination of valuation approaches.

Special Assumption/Aspects Considered in the Report

I have considered the following special assumptions/aspects for the valuation:

  • (a) Any capital infusion in either of the Companies from the date of my Report till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective would not have a material impact on the recommendation of the fair exchange ratio only if (a) it is immaterial or (b) it occurs at or around the fair values as computed in the Report.
  • (b) Till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective, neither Companies would declare any dividends which are materially different from those already factored in the calculations. Similarly, there should not be any other change in capital structure due to buybacks etc., different from those already factored in the calculations, which can impact the recommendation of the fair exchange ratio.
  • (c) I have been informed that there are no unusual/abnormal events in the Companies since the latest accounts provided to me which would materially impact their operating/financial performance.
  • (d) In case of PSML, I have been given to understand that the as on Valuation Date the production has been stopped and the workers have availed voluntary retirement scheme (VRS)/separation scheme.

I have relied on the above while arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation.

The Report is my deliverable for the above engagement.

The Report is subject to the scope, assumptions, qualifications, exclusions, limitations and disclaimers detailed hereinafter. As such, the Report is to be read in totality and not in parts.

    1. Other information and explanations as required by me which have been provided by Management.

Besides the above listing, there may be other information provided by the Companies which may not have been perused by me in any detail, if not considered relevant for my defined scope.

The Companies have been provided with the opportunity to review the draft Report (excluding the recommended fair exchange ratio) as part of my standard practice to make sure that factual inaccuracy/omissions are avoided in my Report.

SCOPE LIMITATIONS, ASSUMPTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

Provision of valuation opinions and consideration of the issues described herein are areas of my regular practice. The services do not represent accounting, assurance, accounting / tax due diligence, consulting or tax related services.

The Report, its contents and the results herein are specific to (i) the purpose of valuation agreed as per the terms of my engagement; (ii) the Report Date, (iii) trading price and volume near the Report Date, and (iii) the unaudited balance sheet of PSML as at 30 September 2020.

I have been informed that the business activities of the ICIL have been carried out in the normal and ordinary course between the Valuation Date and the date of issue of the Report and that no material changes have occurred in their respective operations and financial position during this period. Similarly, I have also been informed that there are no material changes in the position of assets and liabilities of PSML between the 30 September 2020 and the Report Date/ Valuation Date.

The recommendation contained herein is not intended to represent the fair exchange ratio at any time other than the Valuation Date. A valuation of this nature is necessarily based on financial, economic and other conditions in general and industry trends in particular as in effect on and the information made available to me as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect the Report and the assumptions used in preparing it, and I do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the Report.

The recommendation rendered in the Report only represent my recommendation based upon information furnished by the Companies and gathered from public domain (and analysis thereon). My recommendation should not be used for advising anybody to take buy or sell decision, for which specific opinion needs to be taken from expert advisors.

The determination of exchange ratio is not a precise science and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will, of necessity, be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgement. In the ultimate analysis, valuation will have to be tempered by the exercise of judicious discretion by the valuer and judgment taking into accounts all the relevant factors. There is, therefore, no indisputable single exchange ratio. While I have provided my recommendation of the fair exchange ratio based on the information available to me and within the scope and constraints of my engagement, others may have a different opinion as to the fair exchange ratio of the equity shares of the Companies. The final responsibility for the determination of the fair exchange ratio at which the Proposed Amalgamation shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the Companies who should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Amalgamation and input of other advisors.

I have assumed that the Proposed Amalgamation will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Scheme document and that the final version of the Scheme Document will not change in any material respect from the draft version I have reviewed for the purpose of the valuation.

I have not independently audited or otherwise verified the financial information provided to me. Accordingly, I do not express any opinion or offer any form of assurance regarding the truth and fairness

Page 4 of 16

of the financial position as indicated in the financial statements. My conclusion is based on the information given by/on behalf of the Companies. The Management has indicated to me that they have understood that any omissions, inaccuracies or misstatements may materially affect my valuation analysis/results.

The Report assumes that the Companies comply fully with relevant laws and regulations applicable in all their areas of operations, and that the Companies will be managed in a competent and responsible manner. Further, the Report has given no consideration to matters of a legal nature, including issues of legal title and compliance with local laws, and litigation and other contingent liabilities that are not disclosed in the audited/unaudited balance sheet of the Companies. My conclusion of value assumes that the assets and liabilities of the Companies, reflected in their respective latest balance sheets remain intact as of the Report Date.

The Report does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Amalgamation as compared with any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available.

The fee for the engagement is not contingent upon the results reported.

I will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the actions taken, omissions of or advice given by any other party to the Companies. In no event shall I be liable for any loss, damages, cost or expenses arising in any way from fraudulent acts, misrepresentations or willful default on part of the Companies, their directors, employees or agents.

It is understood that this analysis does not represent a fairness opinion. The Report is not a substitute for the third party's own due diligence/ appraisal/ enquiries/ independent advice that the third party should undertake for its purpose.

The Report is subject to the laws of India.

Neither the Report nor its contents may be referred to or quoted in any registration statement, prospectus, offering memorandum, annual report, loan agreement or other agreement or document given to third parties, other than in connection with the Proposed Amalgamation, without my prior written consent. I express no opinion or recommendation as to how the shareholders of either company should vote at any shareholders' meeting(s) to be held in connection with the Proposed Amalgamation.

APPROACH - FAIR EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE PROPOSED AMALGAMATION

The Companies contemplate the Proposed Amalgamation of PSML into ICIL. Arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation would require determining the relative value of the equity shares of the Companies. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Companies, without considering the effect of the Proposed Amalgamation.

There are several commonly used and accepted methods under the market, income and asset approaches of valuation for determining value of equity shares for determination of the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation which have been considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to availability of information, including:

    1. Market Approach
  • a) Market Price method
  • b) Comparable Companies' Multiples method
    1. Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method
    1. Cost Approach: Net Asset Value method

It should be understood that the valuation of any company or its assets is inherently subjective and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond my control. In performing my analysis, I made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Companies. In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions, the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Companies, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of the Companies.

The application of any particular method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation is done. Although different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. My choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at by using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for mergers of a similar nature and my reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner based on previous experiences of assignments of a similar nature.

Market Price method

The market price of an equity share as quoted on a stock exchange is normally considered as the value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares.

Page 6 of 16

The Pricing formula provided in Regulations 164 (1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2018 ('ICDR') in pricing of preferential issue, incase of frequently traded shares, has been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of the Companies under the market price Method. Though, I have adopted this method in case of PSML, considering that the shares of PSML are not frequently traded on stock exchange, I have given very low weight to this method.

The market price is considered as higher of following:

  • (a) average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 26 weeks preceding 20 October 2020; or
  • (b) average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020

In addition to the above existing provision of pricing, the additional option under regulation 164B of ICDR in pricing of preferential issue, incase of frequently traded shares, has been also considered. As per regulation 164B, in case of frequently traded shares, the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of the following:

  • a) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange during the twelve weeks preceding the relevant date; or
  • b) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange during the two weeks preceding the relevant date

Therefore, I have also considered higher of following for determination of the Market Price:

  • (a) higher of average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 12 weeks preceding 20 October 2020 and average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020
  • (b) higher of average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 26 weeks preceding 20 October 2020 and average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020

In the present case, the equity shares of ICIL are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the equity shares of PSML are listed on BSE. The shares of ICIL are shares being regularly and freely traded on both the stock exchanges, whereas the shares of PSML are very thinly and infrequently traded on BSE. In case of ICIL, the share price on the NSE has been considered, as the trading volumes are higher at NSE as compared to BSE.

Comparable Companies' Multiples ("CCM") method

Under this method, value of equity shares of a company is arrived at by using multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies, as manifest through stock market valuations of listed companies. This valuation is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances.

Page 7 of 16

Discounted Cash Flows ("DCF") method

Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the equity shareholders are discounted at the cost of equity. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm for equity shareholders.

Using the DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimating future free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the company's equity capital, factoring in the minimum solvency required as per law.

Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows i.e. the cost of equity:

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to the equity capital providers (namely equity shareholders). The opportunity cost to the equity capital provider equals the rate of return the equity capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

Net Asset Value ("NAV") method

In case of Net Assets Method, the value is determined by dividing the Net Assets of the Company by the number of shares. The asset-based valuation technique is based on the value of the underlying net assets of the business, either on a book value basis or realizable value basis or replacement cost basis.

MAJOR FACTORS THAT WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT DURING VALUATION

  • Latest shareholding pattern of the Companies
  • Trading volume and market price of the shares of the Companies
  • Fair value of the assets of PSML

BASIS FOR FAIR EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE PROPOSED AMALGAMTION

The basis for the fair exchange ratio of the Proposed Amalgamation would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methods mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the above methods considered, for the purposes of recommending the fair exchange ratio of equity shares, it is necessary to arrive at a final value for both Companies' shares. It is however important to note that in doing so, I am attempting to arrive at the relative values of the Companies to facilitate the determination of the fair exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approach /method.

The fair exchange ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative equity valuation of the Companies after considering suitability of various approaches / methods explained herein earlier and based on the Market Price method for ICIL and Market Price method and Adjusted NAV method for PSML, along with various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions and limitations.

I have independently applied methods discussed above, as considered appropriate and arrived at value per share of the Companies.

* I have not used NAV method of Cost Approach in case of ICIL as its shares are frequently traded on stock exchanges. However, in case of PSML, I have used NAV method and given higher weight to it as the shares of PSML are traded infrequently on the stock exchange.

** I have not considered the DCF method as the Companies are listed on the Stock Exchanges and information related to the future profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flows is price sensitive and not made available to me.

***I have used only Market Price method in case of ICIL as its shares are frequently traded on stock exchanges. In case of PSML though I have used Market Price method, I have given very low weight to it as the shares of PSML are traded infrequently on the stock exchange.

Detailed workings are given in Annexure A.

In light of the above, and on a consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined hereinabove, I recommend the following fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation:

2 equity shares of ICIL of INR 2/- each fully paid-up for every 15 equity shares of PSML of INR 10/- each fully paid-up.

Respectfully submitted,

Hence, I have considered INR 124.1 per share.

As per the pricing formula provided in Regulations 164(1) and 164B of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2018 ('ICDR') to arrive at the value per equity share of the Companies under the market price Method, higher of the above three has been considered. Hence, I have considered INR 11.2 per share. Though, I have adopted this method in case of PSML, considering that the shares of PSML are not frequently traded on stock exchange, I have given very low weight (10%) to this method.

Adjusted Net Asset Value method

I have used the adjusted NAV method for valuation, wherein the value of the land, which is the major asset of PSML, has been estimated at current market value using guideline/circle rates. The building being very old, the carrying value of the building has been assumed to be fair value. All other assets and liabilities have been taken at book value to estimate the adjusted NAV. The Following table shows the NAV and Adjusted NAV as of valuation date,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We, A Z R & Associates, Chartered Accountants, (hereinafter referred to as the "Valuer" or "AZR" or "We") refer to the engagement letter dated 09 September 2020 wherein we have been retained as Valuer jointly by Indo Count Industries Limited (hereinafter referred to as "ICIL" or "Transferee Company") and Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited (hereinafter referred to as "PSML" or "Transferor Company ") for the recommendation of fair exchange ratio for the proposed amalgamation of PSML into ICIL (collectively referred to as the "Clients" or the "Companies") as per the draft Scheme of Amalgamation (referred to as "the Scheme").

Accordingly, we have prepared the Report for recommendation of the fair exchange ratio of equity shares as at 20 October 2020 ("Valuation Date") for the proposed amalgamation of PSML into ICIL ("Proposed Amalgamation").

The fair exchange ratio for the Report refers to number of equity shares of face value of INR 2/- each of ICIL, which would be issued to the equity shareholders of PSML in lieu of number of equity shares of face value INR 10/- each held by them in PSML, pursuant to the Proposed Amalgamation.

Our deliverable for this engagement would be a fair exchange ratio report (the "Report").

BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REPORT

Indo Count Industries Limited (hereinafter referred to as "ICIL" or the "Transferee Company") is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L72200PN1988PLC068972 and having its registered office at Office No. 1, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur - 416109 Maharashtra, India. The Transferee Company was incorporated in the year 1988 as Vishnu Aluminium Limited and subsequently, name was changed to Indo Count Industries Limited. The equity shares of the Transferee Company are listed on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (together the "Stock Exchanges"). The Transferee Company holds 1,43,41,280 equity shares of Rs 10/- each of the Transferor Company constituting 74.53% of the total paid up equity share capital of the Transferor Company. The Transferee Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of home textiles and its products broadly falls under the categories of Bed Sheets, Pillow Cover and Comforter. As per the audited financials for the year ended 31 March 2020, ICIL reported revenue from operations of INR 20,801.3 mn and Profit After Tax ("PAT") of INR 731.0 mn.

Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited (hereinafter referred to as "PSML" or the "Transferor Company") is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L17119PN1990PLC058139 and having its registered office at Office No. 2, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur – 416109, Maharashtra, India. The equity shares of the Transferor Company are listed on BSE Limited. The Transferor Company is a subsidiary of the Transferee Company. The Transferor Company is authorised to carry on the inter alia the business of manufacturing of cotton yarn. As per the audited financials for the year ended 31 March 2020, PSML reported revenue from operations of INR 694.1 mn and PAT of INR (-) 26.8 mn.

We understand that the Companies are contemplating the merger in nature of amalgamation of PSML into ICIL. Accordingly, the valuation of equity shares of both the companies is required for compliance with Section 232 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Purpose").

We further understand that as per the draft Scheme, PSML is proposed to be amalgamated into ICIL. As a consideration for the Proposed Amalgamation, equity shareholders of PSML would be issued equity shares of ICIL, in lieu of their shareholdings in PSML.

For the aforementioned Purpose, the Board of Directors of the Companies have jointly appointed us to recommend a fair exchange ratio, for the issue of ICIL's equity shares to the equity shareholders of PSML, to be placed before the Board of Directors of the Companies.

The scope of our services is to conduct a relative valuation of equity shares of the Companies and report a fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation in accordance with internationally accepted valuation standards/methods and valuation standards issued by ICAI Registered Valuer Organisation (RVO).

Valuation Bases

The valuation bases used for the Report is 'Relative Value'. As per IVS 103 issued by ICAI RVO, in transactions of the nature of merger or amalgamation of companies or merger or demerger of businesses, the consideration is often discharged primarily by issue of securities in the nature equity of the acquirer or transferee entity with reference to an exchange ratio or entitlement ratio, considering the relative values. Such relative values are generally arrived at by applying an appropriate valuation approach or a combination of valuation approaches.

Special Assumption/Aspects Considered in the Report

We have considered the following special assumptions/aspects for the valuation:

  • (a) Any capital infusion in either of the Companies from the date of our Report till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective would not have a material impact on the recommendation of the fair exchange ratio only if (a) it is immaterial or (b) it occurs at or around the fair values as computed in the Report.
  • (b) Till the Proposed Amalgamation becomes effective, neither Companies would declare any dividends which are materially different from those already factored in the calculations. Similarly, there should not be any other change in capital structure due to buybacks etc., different from those already factored in the calculations, which can impact the recommendation of the fair exchange ratio.
  • (c) We have been informed that there are no unusual/abnormal events in the Companies since the latest accounts provided to us which would materially impact their operating/financial performance.
  • (d) In case of PSML, we have been given to understand that the as on Valuation Date the production has been stopped and the workers have availed voluntary retirement scheme (VRS)/separation scheme.

We have relied on the above while arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation.

The Report is our deliverable for the above engagement.

The Report is subject to the scope, assumptions, qualifications, exclusions, limitations and disclaimers detailed hereinafter. As such, the Report is to be read in totality and not in parts.

In connection with this exercise, we have relied upon the following information provided by the Management of the Companies (the "Management")/from public domain.

The Companies have been provided with the opportunity to review the draft Report (excluding the recommended fair exchange ratio) as part of our standard practice to make sure that factual inaccuracy/omissions are avoided in our Report.

SCOPE LIMITATIONS, ASSUMPTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS

Provision of valuation opinions and consideration of the issues described herein are areas of our regular practice. The services do not represent accounting, assurance, accounting / tax due diligence, consulting or tax related services.

The Report, its contents and the results herein are specific to (i) the purpose of valuation agreed as per the terms of our engagement; (ii) the Report Date, (iii) trading price and volume near the Report Date, and (iii) the unaudited balance sheet of PSML as at 30 September 2020.

We have been informed that the business activities of the ICIL have been carried out in the normal and ordinary course between the Valuation Date and the date of issue of the Report and that no material changes have occurred in their respective operations and financial position during this period. Similarly, we have also been informed that there are no material changes in the position of assets and liabilities of PSML between the 30 September 2020 and the Report Date/ Valuation Date.

The recommendation contained herein is not intended to represent the fair exchange ratio at any time other than the Valuation Date. A valuation of this nature is necessarily based on financial, economic and other conditions in general and industry trends in particular as in effect on and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect the Report and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm the Report.

The recommendation rendered in the Report only represent our recommendation based upon information furnished by the Companies and gathered from public domain (and analysis thereon). Our recommendation should not be used for advising anybody to take buy or sell decision, for which specific opinion needs to be taken from expert advisors.

The determination of exchange ratio is not a precise science and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will, of necessity, be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgement. In the ultimate analysis, valuation will have to be tempered by the exercise of judicious discretion by the valuer and judgment taking into accounts all the relevant factors. There is, therefore, no indisputable single exchange ratio. While we have provided our recommendation of the fair exchange ratio based on the information available to us and within the scope and constraints of our engagement, others may have a different opinion as to the fair exchange ratio of the equity shares of the Companies. The final responsibility for the determination of the fair exchange ratio at which the Proposed Amalgamation shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the Companies who should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Amalgamation and input of other advisors.

We have assumed that the Proposed Amalgamation will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Scheme document and that the final version of the Scheme Document will not change in any material respect from the draft version we have reviewed for the purpose of the valuation.

APPROACH - FAIR EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE PROPOSED AMALGAMATION

The Companies contemplate the Proposed Amalgamation of PSML into ICIL. Arriving at the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation would require determining the relative value of the equity shares of the Companies. These values are to be determined independently, but on a relative basis for the Companies, without considering the effect of the Proposed Amalgamation.

There are several commonly used and accepted methods under the market, income and asset approaches of valuation for determining value of equity shares for determination of the fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation which have been considered in the present case, to the extent relevant and applicable, and subject to availability of information, including:

    1. Market Approach
  • a) Market Price method
  • b) Comparable Companies' Multiples method
    1. Income Approach: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method
    1. Cost Approach: Net Asset Value method

It should be understood that the valuation of any company or its assets is inherently subjective and is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. In performing our analysis, we made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance and general business and economic conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Companies. In addition, this valuation will fluctuate with changes in prevailing market conditions, the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Companies, and other factors which generally influence the valuation of the Companies.

The application of any particular method of valuation depends on the purpose for which the valuation is done. Although different values may exist for different purposes, it cannot be too strongly emphasized that a valuer can only arrive at one value for one purpose. Our choice of methodology of valuation has been arrived at by using usual and conventional methodologies adopted for mergers of a similar nature and our reasonable judgment, in an independent and bona fide manner based on previous experiences of assignments of a similar nature.

Market Price method

The market price of an equity share as quoted on a stock exchange is normally considered as the value of the equity shares of that company where such quotations are arising from the shares being regularly and freely traded in, subject to the element of speculative support that may be inbuilt in the value of the shares.

Page 6 of 16

The Pricing formula provided in Regulations 164 (1) of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2018 ('ICDR') in pricing of preferential issue, incase of frequently traded shares, has been considered for arriving at the value per equity share of the Companies under the market price Method. Though, we have adopted this method in case of PSML, considering that the shares of PSML are not frequently traded on stock exchange, we have given very low weight to this method.

The market price is considered as higher of following:

  • (a) average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 26 weeks preceding 20 October 2020; or
  • (b) average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020

In addition to the above existing provision of pricing, the additional option under regulation 164B of ICDR in pricing of preferential issue, incase of frequently traded shares, has been also considered. As per regulation 164B, in case of frequently traded shares, the price of the equity shares to be allotted pursuant to the preferential issue shall be not less than higher of the following:

  • a) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price of the related equity shares quoted on the recognised stock exchange during the twelve weeks preceding the relevant date; or
  • b) the average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average prices of the related equity shares quoted on a recognised stock exchange during the two weeks preceding the relevant date

Therefore, we have also considered higher of following for determination of the Market Price:

  • (a) higher of average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 12 weeks preceding 20 October 2020 and average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020
  • (b) higher of average of the weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 26 weeks preceding 20 October 2020 and average of weekly high and low of the volume weighted average price during the 2 weeks preceding 20 October 2020

In the present case, the equity shares of ICIL are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the equity shares of PSML are listed on BSE. The shares of ICIL are shares being regularly and freely traded on both the stock exchanges, whereas the shares of PSML are very thinly and infrequently traded on BSE. In case of ICIL, the share price on the NSE has been considered, as the trading volumes are higher at NSE as compared to BSE.

Comparable Companies' Multiples ("CCM") method

Under this method, value of equity shares of a company is arrived at by using multiples derived from valuations of comparable companies, as manifest through stock market valuations of listed companies. This valuation is based on the principle that market valuations, taking place between informed buyers and informed sellers, incorporate all factors relevant to valuation. Relevant multiples need to be chosen carefully and adjusted for differences between the circumstances.

Under the DCF method the projected free cash flows to the equity shareholders are discounted at the cost of equity. The sum of the discounted value of such free cash flows is the value of the firm for equity shareholders.

Using the DCF analysis involves determining the following:

Estimating future free cash flows:

Free cash flows are the cash flows expected to be generated by the company that are available to the providers of the company's equity capital, factoring in the minimum solvency required as per law.

Appropriate discount rate to be applied to cash flows i.e. the cost of equity:

This discount rate, which is applied to the free cash flows, should reflect the opportunity cost to the equity capital providers (namely equity shareholders). The opportunity cost to the equity capital provider equals the rate of return the equity capital provider expects to earn on other investments of equivalent risk.

Net Asset Value ("NAV") method

In case of Net Assets Method, the value is determined by dividing the Net Assets of the Company by the number of shares. The asset-based valuation technique is based on the value of the underlying net assets of the business, either on a book value basis or realizable value basis or replacement cost basis.

MAJOR FACTORS THAT WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT DURING VALUATION

  • Latest shareholding pattern of the Companies
  • Trading volume and market price of the shares of the Companies
  • Fair value of the assets of PSML

BASIS FOR FAIR EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE PROPOSED AMALGAMTION

The basis for the fair exchange ratio of the Proposed Amalgamation would have to be determined after taking into consideration all the factors and methods mentioned hereinabove. Though different values have been arrived at under each of the above methods considered, for the purposes of recommending the fair exchange ratio of equity shares, it is necessary to arrive at a final value for both Companies' shares. It is however important to note that in doing so, we are attempting to arrive at the relative values of the Companies to facilitate the determination of the fair exchange ratio. For this purpose, it is necessary to give appropriate weights to the values arrived at under each approach /method.

The fair exchange ratio has been arrived at on the basis of a relative equity valuation of the Companies after considering suitability of various approaches / methods explained herein earlier and based on the Market Price method for ICIL and Market Price method and Adjusted NAV method for PSML, along with various qualitative factors relevant to each company and the business dynamics having regard to information base, key underlying assumptions and limitations.

We have independently applied methods discussed above, as considered appropriate and arrived at value per share of the Companies.

The computation of fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation is tabulated below:

* We have not used NAV method of Cost Approach in case of ICIL as its shares are frequently traded on stock exchanges. However, in case of PSML, we have used NAV method and given higher weight to it as the shares of PSML are traded infrequently on the stock exchange.

** We have not considered the DCF method as the Companies are listed on the Stock Exchanges and information related to the future profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flows is price sensitive and not made available to us.

***We have used only Market Price method in case of ICIL as its shares are frequently traded on stock exchanges. In case of PSML though we have used Market Price method, we have given very low weight to it as the shares of PSML are traded infrequently on the stock exchange.

Detailed workings are given in Annexure A.

In light of the above, and on a consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances as discussed and outlined hereinabove, we recommend the following fair exchange ratio for the Proposed Amalgamation:

2 equity shares of ICIL of INR 2/- each fully paid-up for every 15 equity shares of PSML of INR10/- each fully paid-up.

Hence, we have considered INR 124.1 per share.

Adjusted Net Asset Value method

We have used the adjusted NAV method for valuation, wherein the value of the land, which is the major asset of PSML, has been estimated at current market value using guideline/circle rates. The building being very old, the carrying value of the building has been assumed to be fair value. All other assets and liabilities have been taken at book value to estimate the adjusted NAV. The Following table shows the NAV and Adjusted NAV as of valuation date,

The user to which this fairness opinion is addressed should read the basis upon which the Report has been prepared and be aware of the potential for later variations in value due to factors that are unforeseen at the Valuation Date. Due to possible changes in market forces (including prevailing quoted prices) and circumstances, this opinion can only be regarded as relevant as at the Valuation Date.

This document has been prepared for the purposes stated herein and should not be relied upon for any other purpose. Our Report is restricted for the purpose indicated in the engagement letter. This restriction does not preclude the Client from providing a copy of the report to thirdparty advisors whose review would be consistent with the intended use. We do not take any responsibility for the unauthorized use of this Report.

While our work has involved an analysis of financial information and accounting records, our engagement does not include an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards of the client existing business records. Accordingly, we express no audit opinion or any other form of assurance on this information.

The valuation has been performed on the provisional unaudited balance sheets of ICIL as of 30 June 2020 and PSML as of 30 September 2020 as provided by Management.

We have been informed that the business activities of Companies have been carried out in the normal and ordinary course between 30 September 2020 and the Report date and that no material changes have occurred in their respective operations and financial position between 30 September 2020 and the Report date.

The Client and its Management warranted to us that the information they supplied was complete, accurate and true and correct to the best of their knowledge. We have relied upon the representations of the Client, their Management and other third parties, if any, concerning the financial data, operational data and other information, except as specifically stated to the contrary in the report. We shall not be liable for any loss, damages, cost or expenses arising from fraudulent acts, misrepresentations, or wilful default on part of the companies, their directors, employee or agents.

Providing fairness opinion is not a precise science and the conclusions arrived at in many cases will, of necessity, be subjective and dependent on the exercise of individual judgement. In the ultimate analysis, our opinion will have to be tempered by the exercise of judicious discretion and judgment taking into accounts all the relevant factors. There is, therefore, no indisputable single equity share exchange ratio.

The final responsibility for the determination of the equity share exchange ratio at which the Proposed Merger shall take place will be with the Board of Directors of the Companies who should take into account other factors such as their own assessment of the Proposed Merger and input of other advisors.

We have assumed that the merger will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Scheme Document and that the final version of the Scheme Document will not change in any material respect from the draft version we have reviewed for the purpose of this opinion.

We have also relied on data from external sources to conclude the fairness opinion. These sources are believed to be reliable and therefore, we assume no liability for the truth or accuracy of any data, opinions or estimates furnished by others that have been used in this analysis. Where we have relied on data, opinions or estimates from external sources, reasonable care has been taken to ensure that such data has been correctly extracted from those sources and /or reproduced in its proper form and context.

EY is not aware of any contingency, commitment or material issue which could materially affect the Companies' economic environment and future performance and therefore, the fair value of the Companies.

The Report assumes that the Companies comply fully with relevant laws and regulations applicable in its area of operations and usage unless otherwise stated, and that the Companies will be managed in a competent and responsible manner. Further, as specifically stated to the contrary, this Report has given no consideration to matters of a legal nature, including issues of legal title and compliance with local laws, and litigations and other contingent liabilities that are not recorded/reflected in the balance sheet/fixed assets register provided to us.

The Report does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Merger as compared with any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available.

The fee for the Report is not contingent upon the results reported.

Neither the Report nor its contents may be referred to or quoted in any registration statement, prospectus, offering memorandum, annual report, loan agreement or other agreement or document given to third parties, other than in connection with the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation, without our prior written consent. In addition, this Report does not in any manner address the prices at which equity shares of the Companies will trade following announcement of the Proposed Merger and we express no opinion or recommendation as to how the shareholders of either company should vote at any shareholders' meeting(s) to be held in connection with the Proposed Merger.

The fairness opinion is governed by concept of materiality.

We owe responsibility to only to the Board of Directors of the Client that has appointed us under the terms of the engagement letters. We will not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the actions taken, omissions or advice given by any other person.

APPROACH - BASIS OF DETERMINATION OF THE SHARE EXCHANGE RATIO FOR THE PROPOSED MERGER

The Independent Valuer has recommended the following share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger:

· 2 (Two) equity shares of INR 2/- each fully paid up of ICIL for every 15 (Fifteen) equity shares of PSML of INR 10/- each fully paid up.

OUR COMMENT ON THE INDEPENDENT VALUER'S REPORT

Based on our independent calculation and on consideration of all the relevant factors and circumstances, we believe that the share exchange ratio as recommended by the Independent Valuer, as stated above in our opinion is fair to the equity shareholders of ICIL.

It should be noted that we have examined only the fairness of the share exchange ratio for the Proposed Merger only for the Board of Directors/shareholders of ICIL and have not examined any other matter including economic rationale of the transfer per se or accounting and tax matters involved in the Proposed Merger.

To,

The Board of Directors Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited Office No. 2, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, 416109

Dear Members of the board,

1. Engagement Background

We Understand that the Board of Directors of Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited ("PSML" or the "Transferor Company") and Indo Count Industries Limited ("ICIL" or the "Transferee Company") are contemplating the amalgamation by way of Merger by Absorption of the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company ("Amalgamation") under a Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement under the provisions of Sections 230-232 read with other applicable provisions of the companies act, 2013 and rules framed thereunder. As a consideration for this Proposed Merger, equity shareholders of Transferor Company would be issued equity shares of Transferee Company in lieu of their shareholding in Transferor Company.

The broad terms and conditions of the proposed mergers are more fully set out in the draft scheme document shared with us on October 15, 2020, the final version of which will be filed by the aforementioned companies with the appropriate authorities.

We understand that the Valuation as well as the swap ratio thereof is based on the Valuation Certificate dated October 21, 2020 issued by A Z R & Associates, Chartered Accountants, signed by CA Amit K Singh, Managing Partner, FRN: 027550N ("Valuer").

We, Saffron Capital Advisors Private Limited, a SEBI registered Category-I Merchant Banker, have been engaged by Transferor Company to give a fairness opinion ("Opinion") on Valuation Certificate dated October 21, 2020 issued by the valuer.

2. Background of the companies and Rationale

The Transferor Company is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L17119PN1990PLC058139 and having its registered office at Office No. 2, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale,

Registered Office: H-130, Bhoomi Green, Raheja Estate, Kulupwadi, Borivali (East), Mumbai-400 066/ SEBI Registration No: INM000011211

Kolhapur – 416109, Maharashtra, India. The equity shares of the Transferor Company are listed on the BSE Limited. The Transferor Company is a subsidiary of the Transferee Company. The Transferor Company is authorised to carry on the inter alia the business of manufacturing of cotton yarn.

The Transferee Company is a public company, limited by shares, incorporated under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, under corporate identification number (CIN) L72200PN1988PLC068972 and having its registered office at Office No. 1, Plot No. 266, Village Alte, Kumbhoj Road, Taluka Hatkanangale, Kolhapur - 416109 Maharashtra, India. The Transferee Company was incorporated in the year 1999 as Vishnu Aluminium Limited and subsequently, name was changed to Indo Count Industries Limited. The equity shares of the Transferee Company are listed on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (together the "Stock Exchanges"). The Transferee Company holds 1,43,41,280 equity shares of Rs 10/- each of the Transferor Company constituting 74.53% of the total paid up equity share capital of the Transferor Company.

The Amalgamation of the Transferor Company with the Transferee Company is sought to be undertaken to achieve the following:

  • (a) Consolidation of the Transferor Company and the Transferee Company will achieve simplified corporate structure, rationalise the number of listed entities and result in a single listed entity with combined businesses.
  • (b) Provide an opportunity to leverage combined assets and build a stronger sustainable business. Specifically, it will also enable optimal utilization of existing resources which are in excess of the current business requirements of the Transferor Company and provide an opportunity to fully leverage assets, capacities, experience and infrastructure of the Transferor Company and Transferee Company.
  • (c) Reducing managerial overlaps involved in operating multiple entities, enable cost savings and effective utilization of valuable resources which will enhance the management focus thereby leading to increase in operational and management efficiency; integrate business functions; eliminate duplication and rationalization of administrative expenses.
  • (d) Synchronization of efforts to achieve uniform corporate policy, greater integration and greater financial strength and flexibility for the Transferee Company.
  • (e) Better value creation for the shareholders of both the companies enabling the public shareholders to hold shares of the combined listed entity.
  • (f) Upon completion of the amalgamation, the Transferor Company will be dissolved. Consequently, there would be lesser regulatory and legal compliance obligations including accounting, reporting requirements, statutory and internal audit compliance requirements, tax filings, company law compliances, Stock Exchange compliances etc. and therefore reduction in administrative costs.

3. Key Features of the Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement

The key features of the scheme provided to us through Draft Scheme Document are as under:

a) Upon the Scheme becoming effective, in consideration of the amalgamation of the Transferor Company, Transferee Company shall without any further application or deed, issue and allot its equity shares at par credited as fully paid up, as per the swap-ratio provided by the valuation report of the registered valuer and valuation report of chartered accountants and the fairness opinion provided by merchant banker, to the members of Transferor Company, holding equity shares in Transferor Company and whose names appear in the Register of Members/Depository Participant on the Record Date or to such of their respective heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representative or other successors in title as may be recognized by the respective Board of Directors in the following manner:

2 (Two) fully paid Equity Shares of face value of INR 2/- each of Transferee Company shall be issued and allotted for every 15 (Fifteen) Equity shares of face value of INR 10/- each held in Transferor Company.

b) If, applying the Share Exchange Ratio, a person eligible to receive new shares of the Transferee Company pursuant to the Scheme, becomes entitled to receive any fractional equity shares of Transferee Company (a "fractional entitlement"), such person shall be entitled to receive instead of such fractional entitlement, equity shares of the Transferee Company as follows:

(a) if the fractional entitlement is less than 0.5 (zero point five) it shall be rounded down so that such person will receive, zero (0) equity shares of the Transferee Company instead of such fractional entitlement; and

(b) if the fractional entitlement is 0.5 (zero point five) or more it shall be rounded up so that such person will receive, one (1) equity share of the Transferee Company instead of such fractional entitlement.

Pursuant to the rounding up or rounding down as per (a) and (b) above, the total number of shares that will be issued to equity shareholders of the Transferor Company, may vary from the total number of shares of the Transferee Company to be issued as set forth above. However, each shareholder of the Transferor Company shall get at least one share of the Transferee Company.

c) The Transferee Company shall make all requisite applications and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Applicable Laws, including, as applicable, the provisions of Securities

and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 and the SEBI Circulars. The Equity Shares allotted pursuant to this Scheme shall remain frozen in the depositories system till relevant directions in relation to listing/trading are provided by the Stock Exchanges.

We have relied upon the draft scheme Document and taken the aforementioned key features (together with the other facts and assumptions set forth therein) into account while determining the meaning of "fairness", from a financial point of view, for the purposes of this Opinion.

4. Exclusions and Limitations

Our opinion and analysis is limited to the extent of review of the valuation report by the valuer and the Draft scheme document. In connection with the opinion, we have

  • a) Reviewed the Draft Scheme Document and the valuation report by the valuer dated October 21, 2020.
  • b) Reviewed audited financials for Transferee Company and Transferor Company for the year ended March 31, 2020.
  • c) Reviewed unaudited financial statements for Transferor Company for six months ended September 30, 2020.
  • d) Held discussions with the valuer, in relation to the approach taken to valuation and the details of various methodologies utilized by them in preparing the valuation report and recommendations.
  • e) Reviewed historical stock prices and trading volumes of Transferor Company and Transferee Company.
  • f) Reviewed such other information and explanations that we have sought and which have been provided by the management of Transferor Company and Transferee Company.

This opinion is intended only for the sole use and information of Transferor Company and in connection with the Scheme, including for the purpose of obtaining judicial and regulatory approvals for the Scheme as also for the purpose of complying with the SEBI regulations and requirement of stock exchanges on which the company is listed, and for no other purpose. We are not responsible in any way to any person/party/statutory authority for any decision of such person or party or authority based on this opinion. Any person/party intending to provide finance or invest in the shares/business of either Transferor Company and/or Transferee Company or their subsidiaries /joint ventures/associates shall do so after seeking their own professional advice and after carrying out their own due diligence procedures to ensure that they are making an informed decision.

For the purpose of this assignment, Saffron has relied on the Valuation Certificate for the proposed "Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement" of Transferor Company and Transferee Company and their respective shareholders and information and explanation provided to it, the accuracy whereof has not been evaluated by Saffron. Saffron's work does not constitute certification or due diligence of

any past working results and Saffron has relied upon the information provided to it as set out in working results of the aforesaid reports.

Saffron has not carried out any physical verification of the assets and liabilities of the companies and takes no responsibility on the identification and availability of such assets and liabilities.

We hereby give our consent to present and disclose the Fairness Opinion in the general meetings of the shareholders of Transferor Company and to the Stock Exchanges and to the Registrar of Companies. Our opinion is not, nor should it be construed as our opining or certifying the compliance of the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement with the provisions of any law including companies, taxation and capital market related laws or as regards any legal implications or issues arising thereon.

The information contained in this report is selective and is subject to updating, expansions, revisions and amendment, if any. It does not purport to contain all the information recipients may require. No obligation is accepted to provide recipients with access to any additional information or to correct any inaccuracies which might become apparent. Recipients are advised to independently conduct their own investigation and analysis of the business of the Companies. The report has been prepared solely for the purpose of giving a fairness opinion on Valuation Certificate issued for the proposed Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement between Transferor Company and Transferee Company and their respective shareholders, and may not be applicable or referred to or quoted in any other context.

Our opinion is dependent on the information provided to us being complete and accurate in all material respects. Our scope of work does not enable us to accept responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us. The scope of our assignment does not involve performing audit tests for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the fairness or accuracy of any financial or analytical information used during the course of our work. As such we have not performed any audit, review or examinations of any of the historical or prospective information used and, therefore, do not express any opinion with regard to the same. In addition, we do not take any responsibility for any changes in the information used for any reason, which may occur subsequent to this date.

One should note that valuation is not an exact science and that estimating values necessarily involves selecting a method or approach that is suitable for the purpose. Moreover in this case where the shares of the company are being issued as consideration to the shareholders of Transferor Company, it is not the absolute valuation that is important for framing an opinion but the relative valuation of the company vis-a-vis shares of Transferor Company.

We have assumed that the Final Scheme will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Scheme Document shared with us.

We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might arise from the Scheme on Transferor Company, Transferee Company and their respective shareholders, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the respective companies have obtained such advice as they deemed necessary from qualified professionals. We have undertaken no independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims, government investigation or other contingent liabilities to which Transferor Company, Transferee Company and/or their associates/ subsidiaries, are or may be a party.

The company has been provided with an opportunity to review the Draft Opinion (excluding the recommended fair exchange ratio) as part of our standard practice to make sure that factual inaccuracy/omissions are avoided in our Final Opinion.

Our Opinion in not intended to and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such holder should vote or act in connection with the Scheme or any matter thereto.

5. Conclusion

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the share issuance ratio as arrived at in the valuation report i.e. "2 (Two) equity shares of ICIL of INR 2/- each fully paid up for every 15 (Fifteen) equity shares of PSML of INR 10/- each fully paid up" is fair to the shareholders of Transferor Company from the financial point of view. Further the valuation of Transferor Company and Transferee Company as detailed by the valuer is fair.

Basis for Opinion

Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act. 2013 and the Rules thereunder. and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period.

  1. The company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently the company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Foreign currency exchange rate exposure through its sales are partly balanced by purchasing of goods, commodities and services in the respective currencies. The balance foreign currency exchange rate exposure is hedged through derivative like foreign exchange forward contracts. (Refer Note No. 52 to the standalone financial statements). We assessed the foreign exchange risk management policies adopted by the company. The company manages risk through a treasury department which formulates risk management objectives and policies which are reviewed by the senior management, Audit Committee and Board of Directors. Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls and substantive procedures to evaluate chances of minimizing the risk involved.

  2. The company has material matters under dispute which involves significant Judgement to determine the possible outcome of these disputes (Refer Note No. 42 to the standalone financial statements). We obtained the details of the disputes with their present status and documents. We made an in-depth analysis of the dispute. We also considered legal procedures and other rulings in evaluating managements position on these disputes to evaluate whether any change was required to management's position on these disputes.

  3. As on 3151 March 2021, current tax assets and other current assets includes amounts recoverable from government department for which efforts for recovery are being made (refer Note No. 19 and 20 to the standalone financial statements).

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged With Governance for the StandaloneFinancialStatements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

60, 1st Floor, Pocket H-3, Sector-18, Rohini, DELHI- 110085. Mobile: 9871411946 E-mail: [email protected]

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure B referred to in Paragraph (lI)(f) under the heading of "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" of our report of even date to the members of Indo Count Industries Limited on the standalone Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2021.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Indo Count Industries Limited ("the Company") as of March 31st, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on "the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considerinq the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)". These responsibilities include the desiqn, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor'S judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

60, 1st Floor, Pocket H-3, Sector-18, Rohini, DELHI - 110085. Mobile: 9871411946 E-mail: [email protected]

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A Company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

  • a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
  • b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
  • c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, based on "the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI".

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets:

The Company has opted to follow cost model for accounting of its entire property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost inclusive of incidental expenses related to acquisition net of tax / duty credit availed, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major repair is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria is satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or lossas incurred. The present value of the expected

Indo Count Industries Limited

If3rrM(\R "n~,

cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation /under development as at the balance sheet date.

Right-of-use (ROU)assetsare stated at cost, lessaccumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The carrying amount of ROUassets is adjusted for remeasurement of lease liability, if any, in future. Cost of ROU assets comprises the amount of initial measurement of lease liability, lease payments made before the commencement date (net of incentives received), initial direct costs and present value of estimated costs of dismantling and restoration, if any.

Depreciation on the property, plant and equipment is provided over the useful life of assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Property, plant and equipment which are added /disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basiswith reference to the month of addition/deletion.

The Company, based on technical assessment made by technical expert and management estimate, depreciates the certain items of building, plant and equipment over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assetsare likely to be used.

In case of some items of plant, depreciation has been provided in range of 26 years (minimum) to 35 years (maximum) based on the technical evaluation of the remaining useful life which is different from the one specified in schedule II to the CompaniesAct, 2013.

ROU assets are depreciated on straight line basis from the commencement date to the end of useful life of asset or leaseterm whichever is earlier.

leasehold lands forming part of ROU are amortised over the period of lease. Building constructed on leasehold land are depreciated based on the useful life specified in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, where the lease period of land is beyond the life of the building. In other case, building constructed on leasehold lands are amortised over the primary lease period of the land.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expec_tedfrom its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and losswhen the asset is derecognised.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

3.2 Investment properties

Investment properties comprise portions of freehold land and office building that are held for long-term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially recognized at cost. Subsequently, investment property comprising of building is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing cost for long term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit and 1055 as incurred.

  • Depreciation on building is provided over the estimated useful lives as specified in schedule II to the Companies Act,2013. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method of investment properties are reviewed, and adjusted on prospective basis as appropriate, at each financial year end. The effects of any revision are included in the statement of profit and loss when the change arise.

Though the company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a valuation model recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee.

Investment properties are de recognized when either they have been disposed off or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.

The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition.

3.3 Intangible assets

Intangible assetsacquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assetsare assessedas either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessedfor impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life

bIo Count In1ustries Umited 3 1 MAR "021

are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changesin the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessmentof indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or losswhen the asset is derecognised.

Research and development cost:

Researchcosts are expensed as incurred. Development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate:

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
  • Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset
  • How the asset will generate future economic benefits
  • The availability of resources to complete the asset
  • The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset. the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortisation expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

During the period of development. the asset is tested for impairment annually.

Patents and trade marks:

The Company made upfront payments to purchase patents and trade-marks. The patents have been granted for a period of 20 years by the relevant agency with the option of renewal at the end of this period. Trade-marks for the use of intellectual property are granted for a period of 10 years with the option of renewal at the end of this period.

3.4 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

3.5 Impairment of non-financial assets:

As at each balance sheet date, the Company assesseswhether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of impairment loss recognized in the previous periods. If any indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, if any, the Company determines the recoverable amount and impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is determined:

  • In the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use; and
  • In the case of cash generating unit (a group of assetsthat generates identified, independent cash flows) at the higher of the cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.

In assessingvalue in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessmentof the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

The company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's [GUs to which the individual assets

~ Court !"'~lJstries limited

3 1 MAR 2021

are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For longer periods, a long-term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in profit and loss section of the statement of profit and loss, except for properties previously revalued, with the revaluation taken to Other Comprehensive Income (the OCI). For such properties, the impairment is recognized in OCI up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

3.6 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition is accounted for as follows:

  • a) Raw material, packing material, construction material, stores & spares:
  • Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.
  • b) Finished goods and work in progress:

Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

c) Traded goods:

Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

d) Wastage and rejections are valued at estimated realizable value.

Slow and non-moving material, obsolescence, defective inventories are duly provided for and valued at net realisable value. Goods and materials in transit are valued at actual cost incurred upto the date of balance sheet. Materials and supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down if the finished products in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessaryto make the sale.

3.7 Cashand cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with banks which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.8 Foreign currency transactions

The Company's financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the Company's functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign

tIdo Count Industries limited 3 1MAR 2021

currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company's monetary items at the closing rate are recognized as income or expenses in the period in which they are arise. Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on transaction of non-monetary items is recognized in line with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to the translation difference (i.e. translation differences on items whose gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or the statement of profit and loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income or the statement of profit and loss respectively).

3.9 Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assetsand liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:

  • Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
  • Held primarily for the purpose of trading
  • Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • Cashor cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All 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.

3.10 Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet 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. 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 to 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.

tldo Count Industries limited

3 1 MAR 2021

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 lowest level 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 direclly or indirectly observable
  • Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

3.11 Revenue Recognition

from costs incurred to fulfill these contracts.

The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules,2018 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Ind AS l1S "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" related to revenue recognition which replaced Ind AS 11 "Construction Contracts" and Ind AS 18 u Revenue" and provide a single, comprehensive model for all contracts with customers. The revised standard contains principles to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments as well as assets recognized

The Company has adopted Ind AS l1S w.e.f. 1 April, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. However, the adoption of the standard did not have any impact on the financial statements.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

tndo Count Industries limited

3' 1 MAR 2021

Saleof goods:

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Revenuefrom the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Rendering of Services:

Revenue from sale of service is recongised as per terms of the contract with customers when the outcome of the transactions involving rendering of services can be estimated reliably.

Interest Income:

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR),which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

Dividends:

Revenue is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

lease Income:

Lease agreements where the risks and rewards incident to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recognized as operating leases. lease rentals are recognized on straight-line basis as per the terms of the agreements in the statement of profit and loss.

3.12 Government Grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

When the grant relates to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in noncurrent liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other income.

When the Company receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset by equal annual instalments. When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favorable 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

mdo Count Inrl'Jstries limited

3 1 MAR 2011

value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.

3.13 Earnings per share

Basicearnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit from continuing operations and total profit, both attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity sharesoutstanding during the period.

3.14Taxes

Current Income Tax:

  • Tax on income for the current period is determined on the basison estimated taxable income and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessments/ appeals.
  • Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. Management periodically evaluates position taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences between the tax basesof assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss.Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

The break-up of the major components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as at balance sheet date has been arrived at after setting off deferred tax assets and liabilities where the Company have a legally enforceable right to set-off assets against liabilities and where such assetsand liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

3 1 MAR 2021 3.15 Segment accounting

The Chief Operational Decision Maker monitors the operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements.

The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products / services.

  • a) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with / allocable to the segment including inter-segment revenue.
  • b) Expenses that are directly identifiable with / allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenseswhich relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
  • c) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and allocable to segments is included in unallocable income.
  • d) Segment result includes margins on inter-segment sales which are reduced in arriving at the profit before tax to the Company.
  • e) Segment assets and liabilities include those directly identifiable with respective segments. Unallocable assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities that relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment.

Inter-Segment transfer pricing

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments is accounted on the basisof transfer price agreed between the segments. Suchtransfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotiated basis.

3.16 Leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesseswhether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesseswhether:

  • (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset,
  • (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and
  • (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROUassets and

I I · bif . I d h . hen i bl·· 'h3;'hMAH,1 b'l() (1 . ease ra I rtles me u es t ese options w en It ISreasona y certain t at t ey WI e exercised. The ROUassets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Forthe purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases,the recoverable amount is determined for the CashGenerating Unit (CGU)to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the BalanceSheet and lease payments have been classified asfinancing cash flows.

The Company as a lessor:

Leasesfor which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease.Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease.All other leasesare classified as operating leases.

3.17 Employee benefits

i) Short-term employee benefits

All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, etc. and the excepted cost of bonus, ex-gratia, and incentives are recognized in the period during which the employee renders the related service.

  • ii) Post-employment benefits
  • a) Defined contribution plans

State Government Provident Scheme is a defined contribution plan. The contribution paid jpayable under the scheme is recognized in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b) Defined Benefit Plans

The employee Gratuity Fund scheme and Leave Encashment scheme managed by different trusts are defined benefit plans.

Dio Count Industries limited

3 1 MAR 202'

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gain and loss, the effect of asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period of plan amendment.

Net Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.

  • Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losseson curtailments and non-routine settlements.
  • Net interest expense or income.

Long-term employee benefit

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

3.18 Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent assets and Commitments

General

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event. It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passageof time is recognized as a finance cost.

3: 1 MAR 2021

Contingent liability is disclosed in the caseof:

  • a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
  • a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible;
  • a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

Commitments include the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.

Provision, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

Warranty Provisions

Provision for warranty-related costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided to the customer. Initial recognition is based on historical experience. The- initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.

Liquidated damages

Provision for liquidated damages are recognized on contracts for which delivery dates are exceeded and computed in reasonable manner.

Other litigation claims

Provision for litigation related obligation represents liabilities that are expected to materialize in respect of matters in appeal.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value lower of the expected costs of terminating the contract and the expected cost of continuing with the 'contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizesimpairment on the assetsunder the contract.

3.19 Exceptional Items

On certain occasions, the size, type or incidence of an item of income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying the financial statements.

3.20 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Noncurrent assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.


tide Count Industries limited

3 1 MAR 2021

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss.

Assetsand liabilities classified as held for distribution are presented separately from other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and:

  • represents a separate major line of businessor geographical area of operations,
  • is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
  • or
  • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

An entity shall not depreciate (or amortise) a non-current asset while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

3.21 Financial Instruments

i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition ofthe financial asset.

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value or as financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two broad categories:

  • Financial asset at fair value
  • Financial assetsat amortised cost

Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and lossesare either recognized entirely in the statement of profit and loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognized in other comprehensive income (i.e fair value through other comprehensive income).

A financial asset that meets the following two conditions is measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for impairment) unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

  • Business model test: The objective of the Company's business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realize its fair value changes).
  • Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset that meets the following two conditions is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

  • Business model test: The Financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.
  • Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Even if an instrument meets the two requirements to be measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an 'accounting mismatch') that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different basis.

All other financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

All equity investments are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, with value changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except for those equity investments for which the entity has elected to present value changes in 'other comprehensive income'.

If an equity investment is not held for trading, an irrevocable election is made at initial recognition to measure it at fair value through other comprehensive income with only dividend income recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement and either;
  • a) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
  • b) The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has tra nsferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

3 1 MAR 2011

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Investment in associates, joint venture and subsidiaries

The Company has accounted for its investment in associates, joint venture and subsidiaries at cost.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses impairment based on Expected Credit losses (ECl) model to the following:

  • Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
  • Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCJ);

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to;

  • The 12 months' expected credit losses (expected credit losses that- result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
  • Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).

The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:

  • Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables; and
  • All lease receivables

Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECls at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates 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 the forwardlooking estimates are analysed.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12 - months' ECl is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECl is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognize impairment loss allowance based on 12 - months' ECL.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increase in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

ii) Financial liabilities:

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging inst-ruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gainsor losseson liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, only if the criteria in Ind AS109 are satisfied.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EJRmethod. Gains and lossesare recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIRamortization process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EJRThe E . IRamortization is included asfinance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuanceof the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and amount recognized lesscumulative amortization.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms of an existing liability substantially modified, such as exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the

3 1 MAR 2021

recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis,to realize the assetsand settle the liabilities simultaneously.

iv) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The company enters into derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency /price risk on unexecuted firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivate contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to statement of profit and loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity which is later reclassified to statement of profit and loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss.

3.22 Business combination under common control

Common control business combinations include transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses, between entities within a group.

Businesscombinations involving entities or businessesunder common control are accounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts, the only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies. -

The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods are restated as if the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the financial statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, if business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information is restated only from that date.

The difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is transferred to capital reserve and presented separately from other capital reserves with disclosure of its nature and purpose in the notes.

3.23 Preference Shares

i) Non-convertible Preference Shares

On issuance of non-convertible preference shares, the fair value is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument. This amount is classified as a

Indo Count Industries limited

3 1 MAR 2021

financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption.

ii) Convertible Preference Shares

Convertible preference shares are separated into liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract.

On issuance of the convertible preference shares, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in equity. Transaction costs are deducted from equity, net of associated income tax. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible preference shares based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.

3.24 Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable from April 1, 2020.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the separate financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assetsor liabilities affected in future periods.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management hasmade judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Estimates and assumptions

The kElYassumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change

trdo COUNtIndustries Umited 3 1 MAR 2021

due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely indepen-dentof those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets 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 Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period

Leases

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-Iease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to the Company's operations and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure 'that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.

Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19

The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues and investment in subsidiaries. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financial statements has used internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information, economic forecasts. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial statements.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing panics, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

a) Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other shOI1term receivables, trade payables. other current liabilities,short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the countcrparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected lossess of these instruments.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments hy valuation Level I : Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded tair value arc observable, either directly or indirectly.

52. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's financial risk management policy is set by the Board of Directors.

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from ii change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.

The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior Management and the Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimise the Company's position with regard to interest income and interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

According to the Company, interest rate risk exposure is only for floating rate borrowings. For floating rate liabilities, an analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. Above 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forward looking information such as:

  • Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
  • Actual or expected significant changes in the operating resuits of the counterpart)',
  • Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations,
  • Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,

Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or credit enhancements.

Financial assets arc written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, they are recognised in profit and loss.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on historical trend, industrial practices and the business enviornment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material, hence, no additional provision considered.

Auditor's Review Report on Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

To

The Board of Directors of Indo Count Industries Limited

    1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Indo Count Industries Limited for the period ended 30th June 2021 attached herewith, being submitted by the company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended ('the Regulation').
    1. The preparation of the statement in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) "Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors of the company. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.
    1. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
    1. The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31,2021 and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of that financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the listing Regulations.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited ("the Company") as of March 31st, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on "the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)". These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

PRANAVADrTYA SPINNING MILlS UMITfD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2021

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed lor impairment whenever there is an indication that the Intangible asset may be Impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an Intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reportong period. ChangesIn the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied In the asset are conSidered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes In accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on Intangible assets with finite lives Is recognised in the statement of profit and loss

Intangible assets With indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for Impairment annually, either Individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment 01indefinite life is reviewed annually to determtne whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indeflnlte to flnite Is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognitlon of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount 01the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Research and Development Cost:

Researchcosts are expensed as Incurred. Development expenditures on an Individual project are recognlzed as an Intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate;

  • The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale
  • Its intention to complete and its ability and intention to use or sell the asset

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2021

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for Its Intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period In which they occur.

3.5 Impairment of non-financial assets:

As at each balance sheet date, the Company assesseswhether there is an Indication that an asset may be Impaired and also whether there is an indication of reversal of Impairment loss recognized In the previous periods. If any indication exists or when annual Impairment testing for an asset Is required, If any, the Company determines the recoverable amount and Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds Its recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount Is determined:

  • In the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use; and
  • In the case of cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates Identified, independent cash flows) at the higher of the cash generating unit's fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.

In assessing value In use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks speclflc to the asset. In determining fair value less cost of disposal, recent market transaction is taken into account. If no such transactions can be Identified, an appropriate valuation model Is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value Indicators.

The company bases its Impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's CGUsto which the Individual assetsare allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years. For ionger periods, a long-term growth rate Iscalculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.

Impairment lossesof continuing operanons, Indudlng impairment on inventories, are recognized In profit and loss section of the statement of profit and loss, except for properties previously revalued with the revaluation taken to Other Comprehensive Income (the OCI) for such properties, the impairment is recogmzed in 00 up to the amount of any previous revaluation.

At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. ~chan8e differences that arise on settlement of monetary Items or on reporting at each balance sheet date at the closing rate are recognized as Income or expenses in the period in which they are arise. Non-monetary Items which are carried at historical cost denominated In a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non-monetary Items measured at fair value In a foreign currency are translated using the 6change rates at the date when the fair value Is determined. The gain or loss arising on transac:tJonof non-monetary items Is recognized In line with the gain or losses of the Item that gave arise to the translation difference (I.e. translation differences on items whose gain or loss Is recognized in other comprehensive Income or the statement of profit and loss Is also recognized in other comprehensrve income or the statement of profit and loss respectively).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH. 2021

Cashor cash equivalent unless restncted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are cJasslfll!das non-current.

A liability Is current when:

  • It Isexpected to be settled In normal operating cycle
  • Ills 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 liablliUes as non-current. Deferred tax assets and lIablitties are classified as non-current assetsand liabilities.

3.10 Fair value mea.surement

The Company measures finandal instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet 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. 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,ln the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an ISset or a liability Is measured usinglhe assumptions that market partlclpilnts would use when pricing the asset or liability, assumln8 that market participants act In their economiC beStInterest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes Into account a market participant's ability to 8enerate economic benefits by using the asset In Its highest and best use or by seiling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company usesvaluation 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 lowest level Input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Levell Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assetsor liabilities
  • Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectJy observable
  • Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level Input that Is slgnillcant to the fair val ue measurement Is unobservable

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH, 2021

For assets and liabilities that are recosnised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels In the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (~sed on the lowest level Input that Is significant to the fair vaiue measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

3.11 Revenue Recosnitlon

The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 Issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified Ind AS115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" related to revenue recognition which replaced Ind AS 11 "Construction Contracts" and Ind AS 18 .. Revenue" and provide a single, comprehensive model for aft contracts with customers. The revised standard contains principies to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized, The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including Significant Judgements and changes in those judgements aswell as assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill these contracts.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 w.e.f. 1 April, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. However, the adoption of the standard did not have any Impact on the financial statements.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment Is being made. Revenue Is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taldng Into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government. The Company has concluded that it Is the principal In all of Its revenue arrangements since It Is the primary obhgor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to Inventory and credit risks.

The speclfic recosnitlon crnena described beiow must also be met before revenue Is recognised.

Sale of goods:

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration recelved or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates.

Rendering of Services:

Revenue from saie of service is recongised as per terms of the contract with customers when the outcome of the transactions involving rendering of services can be estimated reliably.

Interest Income:

NOTES TO THE FINANCiAl STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2021

For all flnanclallnstruments measured at amortised cost, Interest Income Is recorded uslns the effective Interest rate (EIR),which Is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts throueh the expected life of the financial Instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest Income Is Included In other Income In the statement of profit and loss.

Dividends:

Revenue Is recognised when the Company's right to receive the payment Is established, which Is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

lease Income:

lease agreements by which the risks and rewards Incident to the ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor are recogniled as operating leases.lease rentals are recognized on straight-line basis as per the terms of the agreements In the statement of profit and loss.

3.U Government Grants

Government grants are recognised where there Is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense Item, It Is recognlsed as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which It IsIntended to compensate, are expensed.

When the grant relates to the purchase of property, plant and equipment, It Is included in noncurrent liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets and presented within other Income.

When the Company receives grants of non-monetary assets,the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the e~pected useful life In a pattern of consumption of the benefit 01 the underlying asset by equal annual Instalments. When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related Institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect 01 this favorable 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 01 the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financlaillabilities.

3.13 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share Is calculated by dividing the profit from continuing operauens and total profit, both attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

3.14Taxes Current Income Tax:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31n MARCH, 2021

  • Tax on Income for the current period Is determined on the basis on estimated taxable Income and tax credits computed In accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax laws and based on the expected outcome of assessmentsI appeals.
  • Current income tax relatlOi to Items recosnlzed directly In equity and not In the statement of profit and loss. Management periodically evaluates position taken In the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to Interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets IS reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sulfident taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecosnized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and art! recosnized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply In the year when the asset Is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recosnized outside the statement of profit and loss Is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss. Deferred tax items are recosnlzed In correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehenSive Income or directly In equity.

The break-up of the major components of the deferred ta~ assetsand liabilities as at balance sheet date has been arrived at after setting off deferred ta)( assets and liabilities where the Company have a legally enforceable right to set-off assets against liabilities and where such assets and liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

3.1SSelment accountlnl

The Chief Operational Decision Maker monitors the operating results of Its business segments separately for the purpose of making dedslons about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance IS evaluated based on profit or loss and Is measured consistently with profit or loss in the finandal statements.

The operating segments have been identified on the basis of the nature of products I services.

  • a) Segment revenue includes sales and other income directly identifiable with I allocable to the segment including Inter-segment revenue.
  • b) Expenses that are directly identifiable with I allocable to segments are considered for determining the segment result. Expenseswhich relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to segments are included under unallocable expenditure.
  • c) Income which relates to the Company as a whole and allocable to segments is Included In unallocable Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCiAl STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED UST MARCH, 2021

  • d) Segment result Includes margins on Inter-segment and sales which are reduced In arriving at the profit before tax to the Company.
  • e) Segment assets and liabilities Indude those directly Identifiable with respective segments. Unallocable assetsand liabilitIeS represent the assetsand l1abilitlesthat relate to the Company as a whole and not allocable to any segment

Inter-Segment transfer pricing

Segment revenue resulting from transactions with other business segments Is accounted on the basis of transfer price agreed between the segments. Such transfer prices are either determined to yield a desired margin or agreed on a negotlated basis.

3.16 leases

The Company as a lessee:

The Company's lease asset classesprimarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesseswhether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract Is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assesswhether a COntractconveys the right to control the use of an identlfied asset, the Company assesseswhether:

  • (I) the contract involves the use of an identified asset,
  • (II) the Company hassubstantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease, and
  • (Ill) the Company has the fight to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the tease, the Company recognizes a rlght-ot-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these shortterm and low-value leases.the Company recognIzes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line bastsover the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements Include the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROUassetsand lease liabilities Indudes these options when It Is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROUassets are Initially recognized at cost, which comprises the Initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease Incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of Impairment testing. the recoverable amount (t.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-In-use) is determined on an Individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fiows that are largely independent of those from

NOT£S TO THE FINANOAl STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31S! MARCH, 2021

other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU)to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability Is Initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate Implicit In the lease or, If not readily determinable, using the Incremental borrowing rates In the country of domicile of these leases.lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset If the Company chanaes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. lease lIabihty and ROU assets have been separately presented In the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

The Company as a lessor:

Leasesfor which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other ieasesare classified as operating leases.

3.17 Employee benefits

I) Short-term employee benefits

All employee benefits payable only within twelve months of rendering the service are dassified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages, etc. and the expected cost of bonus. ex-gratia. and Incentives are recognized in the period during which the employee renders the related service.

II) Post-employment benefits

a) Defined contribution plans

State Government Provtdent Scheme Is a defined contribution plan. The contribution paid I payable under the scheme Is recognized In the statement of profit and loss during the period In which the emplovee renders the related services.

b) Defined Benefit Plans

The employee Gratuity Fund scheme and leave Encashment scheme managed by different trusts are defined benefit plans.

The cost of providing benefits under the deRned benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gain and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling. exdudlng amounts included In net interest on the net defined benefit lIablllty and the return on plan assets(excluding amounts Included In net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately In the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS fOR YEAR ENDED ulT MARCH, 2021

they occur. Remeasurements are not redasslfled to the statement of profit and loss In subsequent periods. Past service cost Is recogniled In the statement of profit and loss In the period of plan amendment.

Net Interest Is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net deflned benefit liability or asset.

The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation under employee benefit expenses In the statement of profit and loss.

  • Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements.
  • Net Interest expense or income.

Long-term employee benefit

Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period In which the employee renders the related services are recognized as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expenses In the period In which they are Incurred.

3.18 Provision, Contingent liabilities, Contlnsent assets and Commitments

General

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the company expects some or all of it provision to be reimbursed, for example, underan Insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized asit separate asset, but only when the reimbursement Is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the Increase In the provision due to the passageof time Is recognized as a finance COSt.

Contlncent liability Is disclosed In the case of:

  • a present obligation arising from past events, when It Is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
  • it present obligation ariSing from past events, when no reliable estimate Is possible;
  • a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

Commitments indude the amount of purchase order (net of advances) issued to parties for completion of assets.

Provision, contingent liabilities, contingent assetsand commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

liquidated damages

ProviSion for liquidated damages are recosnlzed on contracts lor which delivery dates are exceeded and computed In reasonable manner.

Other Lltlcatlon claims

Provision for litigation related obligation represents liabilities that are expected to materialize in respect of matters In appeal.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts Is measured at the present value lower of the expected costs of terminating the contract and the expected cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognlzes impairment on the assets under the contract.

3.19 Exceptional Items

On certain occasions, the size, type or Incidence of an item of Income or expense, pertaining to the ordinary activities of the Company is such that its disclosure Improves the understanding of the performance of the Company. Such income or expense Is classified as an exceptional item and accordingly, disclosed in the notes accompanying the financial statements.

3.20 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non·current assetsand disposal groups are classified as held for sale If their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Noncurrent assets and dlsposal,roups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the,r carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. This condition Is regarded as met only when the sale Is highly probable and the asset or dlsposalsroup Isavailable lor Immediate sale In Its present conditIon. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to quality for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations In the statement of prollt and loss.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for distribution are presented separately from other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if It Is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or Is classified as held for sale and:

3,21 Financial Instruments

I) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value thnough profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset,

Financial assetsare classified, at initial recognition, as flnanclal assetsmeasured at fair value or as financial assetsmeasured at amortised cost,

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assetsare classified In two broad categories:

  • Financial asset at fair value
  • Financial assets at amortised cost

Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognized entirely in the statement of profit and loss (I.e, fair value through profit or loss), or recognized In other comprehensive income (I,e fair value through other comprehensive Income),

A financial asset that meets the follOWIngtwo conditions Is measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for Impairment) unless the asset Is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option,

  • Business model test: The objectIve of the Company's business model 15to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realize its faorvalue changes),
  • Cashflow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specifoed dates to cash flows that are solely payments of prindpal and interest on the principal amount outstanding,

A financial asset that meets the following two conditions 15measured at fair value through other comprehensive Income unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option,

Business model test; The Rnanoal asset Is held within a business model whose objective Is achieved by both collecting contractual cashflows and seiling financial assets,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAl STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2021

  • cash flow char.cteristlcs test: The contractual terms of the flnandal asset glve rise on speclfled dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and Interest on the principal amount outst .. nding

Ellen If an Instrument meets the two requirements to be measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive mcome, a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or Signlflantly reduces a measurement or recognition Inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an 'accounting mismatch') that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recogniz.lngthe gains and losseson them on d.fferent basis.

All other financial asset Is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

All equity Inllestments are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, witn value changes recognized In the statement of profit and loss, except for those equity Investments for which the entity hiS elected to present value changes In 'other eemprebenswe income'

If an equity Investment is not held for trading, an irrellOC<lbleelection is made at initial recognition to measure it at fair value through other comprehensive mcome WIth only dividend Income recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Oe~nltlon

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) Is primarily derecognised (I.e. removed from the Company's statement of financial position) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset nave expired, or
  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive ash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received ash flows In full w.thout material delay to a lnird party under a ·pass-through· arrangement and either;
  • a) The Company has transferred substantially all the nsks and rewards of the asset, or
  • b) The Company has neither transferred nor retaoned substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred us rights to receive ash flows from an asset or has entered Into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent .t has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control ohhe asset,the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obhgations rnat the Company nas retained.

Continuing Inllolvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset Ismeasured at the lower of the original arrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

NOTES TO THE FINANCiAl STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH, 2021

Investment In associates, Joint venture and subsidiaries

The Company has accounted for lIS Investment In associates, Joint venture, and subsidiaries at cost.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company assessesimpairment based on expected credit losses(Ea.) model to the following: Financial assets measured at amortised cost;

  • F1nanclalassets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (MOO);

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

  • The 12-months' expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the flnandallnstrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or
  • Fulillfetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all pOSsibledefault events over the life of the finanCial instrument).

The COmpanyfollows 'slmpllfled approach' for re,ocnitlon of Impairment loss allowance on:

  • Trade reo:eivablesor contract revenue reo:elvables;and
  • All lease receivables

Under the slmplifled approach, the COmpany does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime EUs at each reporting date, right from its lnrtlal recognition.

The COmpanyusesa provision matrix to determine Impairment lossallowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix Is based on its hlstorlQlly observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historially observed default rates are updated and changes In the forwardlooking estimates are analysed.

for recocnition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a signifianl increase In the credit risk since initial recocnitJon. If credit risk has not increased signiflantly, 12-months' Ea. Is used to provide for Impairment loss. However, If credit risk has increased slgnifianlly, lifetime ECl is used. If, In a subsequent period, credit qualoty of the Instrument Improves such that there is no longer a slgnifiant Increa.sein credit risk since initial recog.nitlon, then the COmpany reverts to recognhe impairment loss allowance based on 12-months' EeL

For assessing Increase In credit risk and Impairment loss, the COmpany combines finandal Instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objectIve of facllitating an analysis that Is designed to enable significant increase in credit risk LO be identifled on a timely basiS.

NOns TO TliE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH, 2021

II) Flnanclalllabllltles:

Initial recocnltIon and measurement

All finandalliabllities are recognized Initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities Include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and derivative finandal instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of flnanclalliabilitles depends on their classification, as described below:

financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financlaillablllhes at fair value through profit or loss Indude Iinanc1alliabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon Initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held lor trading II they are Incurred for the purpose 01 repurchasing In the near term. ThIscategory also includes derivative financial Instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging Instruments In hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held lor trading are recocnized in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon Initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are desIgnated at the Initial date 01 recognition, only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied.

loans and borrowings

Alter Initial recognition, lnterest- bearing loans and borrowing are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIRmethod. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognlzed as well as through the EIRamortization process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acqulsltlon and fees or costs that are an Integral part of the EIR. The erR amortization Is Included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Flnanciaicuarantee (ontram

Financial guarantee contracts Issued by thr Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a lossit incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt Instrument. Financial guarantee

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31STMARCH, 2021

contracts are recosnited Initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the Issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at higher of the amount of lossallowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.

Derecognitlon

A financial liability Is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability Is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms of an existing liability substantially modified, such as exchange or modification Is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference In the respective carrying amounts Is recognized In the statement of profit and loss.

III) Offsetting of flnanclallnstruments

FJnancialassets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount Is reported In the balance sheet If there Is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an Intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Iv) Derivative financial Instruments and hedge accounting

The company enters into derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency / price risk on unexecuted firm commitments and highly probable forecast transactions. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivate contract is entered Into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assetswhen the fair value Ispositive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to statement of profit and loss, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges, whIch is recognized In other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity which is later reclassified to statement of profit and 1055 when the hedge Item affects profit or loss.

3.22 Business combination under common control

Common control business combinations indude transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses, between entities within a group.

Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are acc.ounted for using the pooling of interest method. Under pooling of interest, the assets and liabilities of the combining entitles are reflected at their carrying amounts, the only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies.

The financial information In the financial statements In respects of prior periods are restated as If the business combination had occurred from the beginning of the preceding period in the finandal statements, irrespective of the actual date of the combination. However, if business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period Information is restated only from that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31" MARCH, 20U

The difference, If any, between the amount recorded as share capitillissued plus any additional consideration Inthe form of cashor other assetsand the amount of share capital of the transferor Is transferred to capital reserve and presented separately from other capital reserves with disclosure of Its nature and purpose In the notes.

3.23 Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable from April 1, 2020.

4. SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTlMATESAND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the separate financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assetsor liabilities affected in Mure periods.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recogrusedIn the financial statements.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based Its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected In the assumptions when they occur.

Impairment of non·flnanclal4lssets

The Company assessesat each reporting date whether there is an Indication that an asset may be Impaired. If any Indication exists, or when annual Impairment testing for an asset Is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount Is the higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value In use. It rsdetermined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cashInflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds Its recoverable amount, the asset Is considered Impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessingvalue In use, the estJrnated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the

Nons TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31n MARCH, 2021

nsks specific to the asset. In determining fair value leu costs of dJsposal,recent market transactions are taken Into account. If no such transactions can be Identified, an appropriate valuation model Is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

Defined benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments In the future. These Indude the determination of the discount rate, future salary increasesand monality rates. Due to the complexitIes involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligatIon Is highly sensitive to changesIn these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reponing date.

Fair value measurement of financiallnstNments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fajr value is measured uslng valuation techniques Including the DCFmodel. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements Include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes In assumptions about these factors could affect the reponed fair value of financial instruments.

Impairment of financial assets

The Impairment provisions for financial assets 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 Impalrmenl calculation. based on Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reponing period.

L.....

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, If the use of such option Is reasonably certain. The Company makesan assessmenton the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesseswhether it is reasonably cenaln that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any slgnlncanl leasehold Improvements undenaken over the leaseterm, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the Imponance of the underlying asset to the COmpany'soperiJIlons and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term In future periods Is reassessedto ensure that the lease term renects the current economic circumstances. AIier considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.

38, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATIONS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
  • 2 Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for the expected lossess of these receivables.

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

  • Level 1 : quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 : other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
  • Leval 3 : techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

39. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's financial risk management policy is set by the Managing Board

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attri currency receivables, payables, loans and borrowings.

The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior Management and the Audit Committee. The activities of this department includes management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.

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. In order to optimize the Company's position with regards to interest income and interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in serveral currencies and consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies.

Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing of goods, commodities and services in the respective currencies. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and the Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivables. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default
occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of d information such as:

  • Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,
  • Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,
  • Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations,
  • Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty,
  • Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third party guarantees or credit enhancements.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company categorises a loan or receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 2 years past due. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, they are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customer based on historical trend, industrial practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are collection of receivable is not material, hence no additional provision considered.

  1. The World Health Organization announced a global health emergency due to a new strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") and classified this outbreak as a pandemic in March 2020 following which Government of India announced a countrywide lockdown from March 24, 2020. The manufacturing operations was temporarily shut down from 23rd March 2020 and after a period of - 45 days, restarted partially from 6th May 2020 with limited workforce and on single shift basis. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, restriction on mobility and social distancing norms, labour attendance was poor, as a consequence of which manufacturing operations suffered. Further, from August, 2020 due to separation of all workers under VRS/Separation Scheme announced by the Company, the production at Company's factory was stopped. Since the separation of workers, as aforementioned, overlapped with the pandemic period, and the consequent production stoppage, it is difficult to assess the business and financial impact due to Covid-19.

Auditor's Review Report on Quarterly Financial Results and Year to Date Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015

To The Board of Directors of Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited

    1. We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited standalone financial results of Pranavaditya Spinning Mills Limited for the quarter ended 30th June 2021attached herewith, being submitted by the company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 as amended ('the Regulation').
    1. The preparation of the statement in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) "Interim Financial Reporting" prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, is the responsibility of the Company's Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors of the company. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.
    1. We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
    1. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.
    1. The Statement includes the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 being the balancing figure between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31,2021 and the published unaudited year-to-date figures up to the third quarter of that financial year, which were subjected to a limited review by us, as required under the listing Regulations.
