ANNEXURE II-MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT

While walking on the path of sustainable agricultural development it is realised that


availability of water resources is considered as one of toughest hurdle to pass. Due to
uncertainty of rain and increasing pressure of population growth on reservoirs, water
resources are getting dry in shorter time than before. It is peak time realise and understand
the importance of water and uncertain availability of it. Proper distribution of the available
resources and conservative use of the same has become the most important fact to
sustainable development.

The solution lies in implementing the innovative and advance models as contribution to
higher efficiency of water usage. Micro irrigation is proved to be a one such efficient method
which enables better control and monitoring of existing water. Recognizing the importance
of micro irrigation, the current government manifesto has talked about Har Khet Ko Pani.
However, in spite of the efforts made by central and state governments, the adoption of Micro
irrigation by farmers needs more motivation.

MICRO IRRIGATION - A RELIEF FOR DROUGHT PRONE AREAS:


Indian agriculture is mostly dependent on monsoon as source of water for agricultural
activities, but in situations where there is shortage or failure of monsoon in that particular
year it gets disturbed which later results in farmer’s distress and below average crop yields.
Particularly in the drought prone areas/ parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Odisha, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan among others this affects with much
greater intensity. This makes the states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana,
Bihar, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh high potential states for Micro Irrigation in India.
Hence, Micro irrigation can not only save water but also increases the farmer’s productivity.

COMPANY PROFILE:
R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Limited designs and manufactures efficient, durable and
simple systems within its factory. The Company also assists the farmers in designing and
installation of its Sprinkler and Drip Irrigations systems according to their needs. The dealer
network expands from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka and extended its
market to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand.

R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Limited believe on the principle "Born to Serve the Farming
Community". Considering this as motive, employees of the Company are trained and
accustomed to work strategically to improve the quality and maintain the product standards.
Company's world-class testing facility help to improve quality by timely analysis and quick
implementation of its results. The laboratory is well equipped for analysing the various
critical parameters of the product. Company's Quality Assurance department works hand
in hand with the manufacturing team to achieve zero defects in the goods dispatched from
the factory. The Company aims to achieve zero defects in every consignment it ships from
its premises. Like no one else, RM Drip delivers on leading product brands, large scale
operations, and global distribution to the irrigation industry and growing worldwide. The RM
Drip approach combines the industry’s leading irrigation products with the right people.

OUTLOOK ON IRRIGATION SECTOR:


Irrigation sector of India promises a great scope for growth and with no irrigation facilities
is totally dependent on unpredictable monsoons. Proper irrigation facilities will provide food
security, minimise dependence on monsoons, improves agricultural output and create rural
job opportunities. Irrigation is the largest consumer of water in the country.

India’s population is rapidly increasing so there is a need for the production to increase at a
fast clip in order to meet the ever growing demand created with this population increase.
Given this fact that land and water are limited resources, this would require an innovation

39 | P a g e
Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

and improvement in the productivity of crops. With the need to increase productivity while
saving water, micro irrigation will play a key role for the future of Indian Agriculture.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Micro irrigation system minimizes the conveyance loss. Also provides significantly higher
water usage efficiency due to proximity and focused application. Efficient water use leads to
multiple benefits such as increase in the area under irrigation as well as more usage of
marginal/unirrigated or cultivable land.

The Company envisaged satisfactory growth over previous years. Government is providing
various subsidies under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Vikas Yojna for Micro Irrigation all over the
country. With over 1 decade’s experience in manufacturing, the Customers are also growing
rapidly. We have always maintained high quality standard and also created a good track
record, at the same time, there is intense price pressure from the competitors and
international financial crisis.

THREATS AND KEY RISKS:


Withdrawal of subsidies for micro irrigation is a key risk that could impact the growth of the
Company. Poor monsoon, seasonality and cyclical nature of agriculture could affect the
Company by having impact on the purchasing power of the farming community.

Micro Irrigation Industry also faces threats such as uneven distribution of rainfall,
competition from unorganized sector, government policies and a constant fluctuation in raw
material prices.

INITIATIVES:
Company is working constantly on improving the product quality, adoption of advanced
technologies and reduction of costs at appropriate level and thereby to supply the efficient,
advance and durable products to the Indian Farming Community helping maximize the
Farming Productivity and Farm produce marketability. New machineries were installed to
provide better result and to cope up with changing requirement of the industry. The
employees at all levels are being made aware of the changing conditions and the challenges
of the open market conditions and to train the personnel to tackle the difficult situations
which will improve the overall technology, productivity, quality and profitability. Also
initiatives were taken by Company to directly connect with farmers and also providing them
quality services and requisite knowledge.

Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

Independent Auditor’s Report

To
The Members
RM Drip and Sprinklers Systems Limited

Report on the Audit of Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of RM Drip and Sprinklers


Systems Limited (“the Company”) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,
2024, the Statement of Profit and Loss, statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended
and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to
us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2024, and
its Profit and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. 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. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we
conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 the financial statements

50 | P a g e
Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

that give a true and fair view of the financial position & financial performance in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with provisions of the Act for
safeguarding the assets of the company and for preventing and detecting the 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 are operating effectively ensuring
the accuracy and completes of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatements 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 related
to 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.

The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.

Auditor’s Responsibility 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 specified
under Section 143(10) of the Act, 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.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
• 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.

51 | P a g e
Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the 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.

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.

Annexure “B” to the Independent Audit Report

Report on the internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 RM Drip and
Sprinklers Systems Limited (“the Company”) as at March 31, 2024, 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 considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 fraud
& errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Company’s Act 2013.

Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial
reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the
“Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the
standards on auditing prescribed under Section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 were
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
in 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 control 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:

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company.

58 | P a g e
Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

2. 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
3. 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 of 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 and according to the information and explanations given to us, the Company
has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial control system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating
effectively as at March 31, 2024, 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
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 Summary Of Material Accounting Policies


1.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The Financial Statements are prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) under
the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as specified in the
Company (Accounting Standards) Rules 2014, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Accounting policies have been consistently
applied in preparation and presentation of financial statements.

1.2 Use of Estimates


The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires estimates and
assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the
preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any difference
between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialize. Any revision to
accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in the current and future periods.

1.3 Presentation & Disclosure of Financial Statements

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current & non-current as per company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out
in the Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of services and time between acquisition of assets for rendering of
services and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, operating cycle is less than 12 months. However, for the purpose of current /
non- current classification of assets and liabilities, period of 12 months have been considered as normal operating cycle.

1.4 Going Concern Assumptions


The Management believes that the Company would be in a position to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and may
meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared under the going concern
assumption.

1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation


i. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition / construction less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses, if any. Gross carrying amount of all property, plant and equipment are measured using cost model.
ii. Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes purchase price including non - refundable taxes and duties, borrowing cost
directly attributable to the qualifying asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for
its intended use and the present value of the expected cost for the dismantling/decommissioning of the asset.
iii. Parts (major components) of an item of property, plant and equipments having different useful lives are accounted as separate items
of property, plant and equipments.
iv. Subsequent expenditure related to an item of property, plant and equipment are added to its book value only if they increase the
future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing PPE,
including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for
the period during which such expenses are incurred.
v. Property, plant & equipment are eliminated from financial statements either on disposal or when retired from active use. Assets held
for disposal are stated at net realizable value. Losses arising in the case of retirement of property, plant and equipment and gains or
losses arising from disposal of property, plant & equipment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year of occurrence.
vi. Depreciation:
• Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on a Written down value (WDV) over their useful lives which is in
consonance of useful life mentioned in the Companies Act, 2013
• Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed periodically, including at the end of each financial year and
adjusted prospectively.
• In case of assets purchased, sold or discarded during the year, depreciation on such assets is calculated on pro-rata basis from the date
of such addition or as the case may be, upto the date on which such asset has been sold or discarded.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of property, plant and equipment are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.
Useful life considered for depreciation are as follows :
Assets Useful life (In years)
Office Equipment 5 Years
Plant and Equipment 15 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years
Computer 3 Years

1.6 Intangible Assets and Amortisation


Intangible assets are recognized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to asset will flow to the Company and
the cost of asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition/development less accumulated amortization
and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Cost of an intangible asset includes purchase price including non - refundable taxes and duties, borrowing cost directly attributable to the
qualifying asset and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use. Intangible assets under
development comprises of cost incurred on intangible assets under development that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the
Balance Sheet date.

1.7 Impairment
The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for any indication of impairment based on internal / external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows
expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Based on the assessment done at
each balance sheet date, recognised impairment loss is further provided or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. After
recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation charge for the property, plant and
equipment is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less its residual value (if any), on a systematic
basis over its remaining useful life. If the conditions leading to recognition of impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased,
impairment losses recognized are reversed to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined after
considering depreciation / amortization had no impairment loss been recognized in earlier years.

1.8 Investments:
Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year from the date on which such investments are
made are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. On initial recognition, all
investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage,
fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair
value of the securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to
the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long term investments are
carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value of long term investments is made to recognise a decline, other than
temporary, on an individual investment basis.
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. In determining the holding cost of investments and the gain or loss on
sale of investments, the ‘weighted average cost’ method is followed.

1.9 Inventories
i. Raw materials and components, packing materials, consumables, stores and spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
2 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cheque on hand, bank balances and deposits with banks with maturity period less than
12 months.
2.1 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured. Revenue is recognized net of Goods and Services Tax wherever applicable.

Sales of Goods: Sales of goods are recognized when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the
buyer which generally coincides with delivery and are recorded net of rebates, trade discounts and sales returns.

2.11 Other Income


Interest income: Interest income is recognized on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and rate applicable.
Other Income - It is recognised when It is accrued.

64 | P a g e
Notice & Annual Report 2023-2024

2.21 Retirement and other Employee Benefit


(i) Short term employee benefit
All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and
they are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the employee
renders the related service. These benefits include short term compensated absences such as paid annual leave. The undiscounted
amount of short-term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognized as an expense during the period. Benefits
such as salaries and wages, etc. and the expected cost of the bonus / ex-gratia are recognised in the period in which the employee
renders the related service.
(ii) Post employment
Defined Contribution Plan :
The defined contribution plan is post-employment benefit plan under which Company contributes fixed contribution to a government
administered fund and will have no obligation to pay further contribution. The Company’s defined contribution plan comprises of
Provident Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme. The Company’s contribution to defined contribution plans are recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
2.22 Taxes

(i) Current Tax : Tax expenses comprises of current tax, deferred tax charge or credit, minimum alternative tax and adjustments of taxes
for earlier years. Provision for current tax is made as per the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961.
(ii)Deferred Tax : Deferred tax charge or credit reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and
accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years and are measured based on the tax rates and the tax
laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward
tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be
realised against future taxable profits. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts at
each balance sheet date. At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes
unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably/virtually certain as the case may be that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.

2.23 Borrowing Cost


Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or development of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part
of the cost of the respective asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset which necessarily
takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest, exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are treated as
an adjustment to the borrowing cost and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.24 Earnings Per Share


Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period and all periods presented is adjusted for events of bonus issue and share split. For the purpose of calculating diluted
earnings per share, the net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Diluted earnings per share
are calculated after adjusting effects of potential equity shares (PES).PES are those shares which will convert into equity shares at a later
stage. Profit / loss is adjusted by the expenses incurred on such PES. Adjusted profit/loss is divided by the weighted average number of
ordinary plus potential equity share.
2.25 Provisions and Contingent liabilities and asset
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to
its present value (except retirement benefits) and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance
sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. A disclosure for a
contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow
of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote,
no provision or disclosure is made.
A Contingent Asset is neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
2.26 Events after Balance Sheet

Events occurring after the balance sheet date that indicate that an asset may have been impaired, or that a liability may have existed, at
the balance sheet date are, therefore, taken into account in identifying contingencies and in determining the amounts at which such
contingencies are included in financial statements.

2.27 The various figures of financial statement have been regrouped or reclassified wherever necessary.
