The statements in the “Management Discussion and Analysis
Report” describe the Company’s objectives, projections,
estimates and expectations which may be “forward looking
statements” within the meaning of applicable laws and
regulations.The actual results could differ materially from
those expressed or implied, depending upon the economic
and climatic conditions, government policies and other
incidental factors.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The Agro chemicals industry has a strong linkage to
Agriculture, which itself is heavily dependent on vagaries of
monsoon. Various other critical factors impacting its robust
growth include availability of credit, irrigation facilities and
other needed agri inputs. Occurence of pests and plant
diseases are perennial risk factors where the agro chemicals
industry comes into play.
Global population dynamics especially in countries with limited
arable land, and those with poor irrigation infrastructure find
themselves confronting the challenge of feeding their millions
of populace and ensuring food security year in and year out.
Improving farm productivity across all agri and horticultural
crops continually is the big challenge and taking timely and
appropriate recourse to agro chemical applications is now
universally accepted as a sine quo non.
For the Agro chemical Industry, the potential for robust and
sustained growth against the backdrop of demand –
production gap in agriculture sector year in and year out is
loud and clear. The challenge for the industry lies in its
capability to come up with safe and efficient products and
applications for pest control and for eradication of plant
diseases leading to maximizing yields from the available land
under cultivation. For the Industry to grow exponentially, the
challenge lies in developing new products through intensive
R & D to innovate and come up from time to time with new
products that are environmentally safe and efficient over the
long term and are proven cost effective as well.
GLOBAL AGRO-CHEMICAL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Latin America , Europe and Asia account for more than 75%
of the global market size and these regions taken together
have been reporting consistent year on year growth. In 2013,
the Industry reported a growth of 11.2% in nominal terms
and 9% in real terms and has reached a size of $ 53 billion.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Latin America emerged as the largest market in terms of size
in 2013 with a high growth of 26.9% over 2012. Europe
recorded a growth of about 9.5% and Asia grew by a marginal
1.3% over 2012. The growth is largely facilitated by strong
commodity prices and it is expected that the Industry will
fare strongly over the next few years at an average rate of
5% annually reaching a size of $ 60 billion by 2017.
Indian agro-chemical Industry has been growing at the rate
of about 8 to 9% over the past seven years and the Industry
size is estimated at $ 3.8 billion with exports accounting for
about 50%.
The Industry growth in recent years is largely driven on the
back of increasing volumes in agricultural production and
higher commodity prices. It is estimated that the Industry
would continue to grow by about 9% annually in domestic
brand business and at about 15% in exports from India
reaching a size of $ 7 billion by 2017.
COMPANY PERFORMANCE
During the year 2013-14, the Company continued its focus
on improving performance across all aspects of the business
operations viz., enhance manufacturing capability and
ensuring consistency in production, improving compliance to
environmental regulations, improvement in yields and
reduction in conversion costs, scaling up business in critical
high value markets, leverage international product
registrations and enhancing portfolio of product registrations
for increasing market access in critical markets enabling
profitable growth.
The measures implemented by the Company in recent years
and continued in 2013-14 have led to significant progress in
various critical areas of performance:
� Manufacturing capacity of key molecules enhanced with
improved efficiencies
� Consistency in Propineb product quality established. The
product gained good acceptance globally
� Plant reliability and safety improved with reconstruction
of certain plants in Sarigam to ensure higher capacity
and volumes in the coming years
� Leveraged existing portfolio of product registrations to
scale up volumes across geographies
Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited 15
� Increased volumes and presence in Central America
through subsidiary in Mexico
� Enhanced portfolio of product registrations
These initiatives contributed to the Sales Turnover increasing
by 40% over 2012-13. The share of exports increased from
59% in 2012-13 to 62% in 2013-14 with greater focus on
exports.
Outlook
The world’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050.
As population increases, natural resources will become scarcer,
mainly due to insufficient arable land reserves, increasing
urbanization and progressive climate change. The Agro-
chemical Industry is expected to maintain its growth trend.
With growing income levels and reduced labour availability,
the industry growth will be led by fungicides and herbicides.
Despite relative competitive advantage of China, Indian
industry continues to improve on its performance in Agro-
chemicals largely owing to its superiority in select molecules
and access to international markets through product
registrations and marketing capabilities. This is likely to be
maintained and the gap is expected to narrow down in the
coming year(s) in view of the challenge from China getting
whittled down as their costs are going upwards due to stricter
environmental compliance requirements in China and their
currency, Yuan, appreciating in recent times.
With an upsurge in confidence from the significantly improved
performance in the year 2013-14, your Company is optimistic
about further improving on its performance with ongoing and
planned initiatives ahead.
Risks& Uncertainties
Besides strong linkage to agriculture which itself is dependent
on monsoon vagaries, country specific regulatory risks,
controls and periodic product registration reviews in overseas
markets could put a temporary set-back and impact the
business. Being a business with a significant share of exports
and input imports, risks associated with volatility of foreign
exchange and cross border transactions exist as well.
Internal Control Systems
The Company has appropriate internal control systems for
business processes with regard to its operations, financial
reporting and compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Internal audits are conducted at regular intervals across
various locations and processes in line with the approved
Audit Plan. Audit observations and follow-up actions are
discussed with the management of the Company as well as
reviewed at the level of the Audit Committee of the Board, at
regular intervals.
Human Resources
The Company appreciates the valuable contribution and
initiatives on the part of employees towards achieving
improved productivity and efficiency in operations and in
overall performance of your Company. The management team
comprises of professionals with proven track records.The
Company remains focused and sensitive to the role of human
resources in optimizing results in all areas of its working and
the industrial relations are cordial.

Note -1
Significant accounting policies
I. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies
Act, 1956 ("the 1956 Act") (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the
2013 Act") in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the
relevant provisions of the 1956 Act/ 2013 Act, as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual
basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements
are consistent with those followed in the previous year.
II. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates
and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the
reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the
financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences
between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialise.
III. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after
providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods
to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and
finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.
IV. Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an
original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
V. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted
for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available
information.
VI. Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation has been provided on the straight-line method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies
Act, 1956. Continuous process plants are classified on technical assessment and depreciation provided accordingly.
Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the lease period. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight
line basis over their estimated useful life. Intangible Assets are amortised on straight line basis over their estimated
useful life. The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each
financial year and the amortisation method is revised to be charged over remaining useful life of each assets.
VII. Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognised, net of returns and trade discounts, on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the
buyer, which generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers. Sales include excise duty but exclude sales tax
and value added tax.
VIII. Other income
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis.
Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited 33
IX. Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets
comprises its purchase price net of any trade discounts and rebates, any import duties and other taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for
its intended use, other incidental expenses and interest on borrowings attributable to acquisition of qualifying fixed
assets up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with
an item of fixed asset and whose use is expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over the useful life of the
principal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its purchase / completion is capitalised
only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed
standard of performance.
Fixed assets acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in the
project cost till commissioning of the project.
X. Capital work-in-progress:
Projects under which tangible fixed assets are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising direct
cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.
XI. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an
intangible asset comprises of purchase price, attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.
XII. Foreign currency transactions and translations

a. Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on
the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
b. Integral foreign operations:
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company's integral foreign operations are accounted at the
exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of
the transaction.
c. Net investment in non-integral foreign operations:
Net investment in non-integral foreign operations is accounted at the exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction
or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
d. Non-integral foreign operations:

transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
Measurement at the Balance Sheet date:

XIII. Accounting for forward contracts
Premium/discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, are
amortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date.
XIV. Hedge Accounting
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations
relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging
relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles set out in "Accounting Standard 30 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement" issued by the ICAI. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting
date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash
flows are recognised directly in "Hedging reserve account" under Reserves and surplus, net of applicable deferred income
taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in
the "Hedging reserve account" are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same periods during which the
forecasted transaction affects profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is
sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative
gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in "Hedging reserve account" is retained until the forecasted transaction
occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in
"Hedging reserve account" is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
XV. Government grants and export incentives
Government grants in the nature of promoters' contribution like investment subsidy, where no repayment is ordinarily
expected in respect thereof, are treated as capital reserve.
Grants relating to fixed assets in the nature of project capital subsidy are credited to Capital reserve.
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving
the same.
XVI. Investment
Investments, which are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which
such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term
investments.
Long-term investments are valued at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary, in the value of such
investments. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value.
XVII. Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity fund and compensated absences.
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company's contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined
contribution plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made.
b. Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected
Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gains and
losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost is
recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-
line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in
the Balance Sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past
service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past
service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the schemes.
Notes forming part of the financial statements
Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited 35
c. Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered
by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits include
compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the
employee renders the related service.
The cost of short-term compensated absences is accounted as under:
� in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase their
entitlement of future compensated absences; and
� in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.
d. Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which
the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefit
obligation as at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations are
expected to be settled.
XVIII. Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign
currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the
borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement
of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining
to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the
date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and
charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying
assets is interrupted.
XIX. Segment reporting
The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internal
organisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial information
is available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
XX. Leases
The Company's significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancellable in
nature. The lease rental paid under such agreements are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on straight line
basis.
XXI. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary
items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post-tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as
adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the
dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings
per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
XXII. Taxes on income
Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Notes forming part of the financial statements
36 Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of
adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset, if there is convincing evidence that the Company will
pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future
economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting
income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is
measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of items other
than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation
and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient
future taxable income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their realisability.
XXIII. Research and development expenses
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of
products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technical feasibility has been established,
in which case such expenditure is capitalised. The amount capitalised comprises expenditure that can be directly attributed
or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use.
Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated
for Fixed Assets.
XXIV. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets/cash generating units at each Balance Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any
indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the
carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net
selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in
earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the
Statement of Profit and Loss, except in case of revalued assets.
XXV. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events 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 (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the
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. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are
neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
XXVI. Insurance claims
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that there
is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
XXVII. Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying service received is accounted
and when there is no uncertainty in availing/utilising the credits.
XXVIII. Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their
realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of
classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Company's preparation and presentation of
the consolidated financial statements that give a true and
fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, and based on the
consideration of the reports of the other auditors on the
financial statements of the subsidiaries and associate referred
to below in the Other Matter paragraph, the aforesaid
consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India:
(a) in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the
state of affairs of the Group as at 31st March, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and
Loss, of the profit of the Group for the year ended on
that date; and
(c) in the case of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of
the cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that
date.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of five subsidiaries,
whose financial statements reflect total assets (net) of
` 793.69 lacs as at 31st March, 2014, total revenues of
` 372.21 lacs and net cash inflows amounting to ` 17.15 lacs
for the year ended on that date, as considered in the
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements also include the Group's share of net loss of
` 0.95 lacs for the year ended 31st March, 2014, as considered
in the consolidated financial statements, in respect of one
associate, whose financial statements have not been audited
by us. These financial statements have been audited by other
auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the
Management and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the
amounts and disclosures included in respect of these
subsidiaries and associate, are based solely on the reports
of the other auditors.
Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Notes forming part of the consolidated financial statements
Note 1: Significant accounting policies
i. Basis of accounting and preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements of Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together
'the Group') have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP)
to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956 Act")
(which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the 2013 Act") in terms of
General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and the relevant provisions of
the 1956 Act/ 2013 Act, as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical
cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those
followed in the previous year.
ii. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements relate to Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited (the 'Company'), its subsidiary companies
and the Group's share of profit / loss in its associate. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the
following basis:
1) The financial statements of the subsidiary companies and associate used in the consolidation are drawn upto the
same reporting date as that of the Company i.e., 31 March, 2014, except for one associate in the previous year as
mentioned in ii.9 below for which financial statements as on reporting date were not available. These have been
consolidated based on latest available financial statements.
2) The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies have been combined on a line-by-line basis
by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after eliminating intra-group balances,
intra-group transactions and resulting Unrealised profits or losses, unless cost cannot be recovered.
3) The consolidated financial statements include the share of profit / loss of the associate company which have been
accounted for using equity method as per AS 23 Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial
Statements. Accordingly, the share of profit/ loss of the associate company (the loss being restricted to the cost of
investment) has been added to / deducted from the cost of investments.
4) The excess of cost to the Group of its investments in the subsidiary companies over its share of equity of the
subsidiary companies, at the dates on which the investments in the subsidiary companies were made, is recognised
as 'Goodwill' being an asset in the consolidated financial statements and is tested for impairment on annual basis.
Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary companies as on the date of investment is in excess of
cost of investments of the Group, it is recognised as 'Capital Reserve' and shown under the head 'Reserves &
Surplus', in the consolidated financial statements.
5) Minority Interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consist of the amount of equity attributable to
the minority shareholders at the date on which investments in the subsidiary companies were made and further
movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments. Net profit / loss for the year of the
subsidiaries attributable to minority interest is identified and adjusted against the profit after tax of the Group in
order to arrive at the income attributable to shareholders of the Company.
6) The difference between the cost of investment in the associate and the share of net assets at the time of acquisition
of shares in the associate is identified in the consolidated financial statements as Goodwill or Capital reserve as
the case may be.
7) Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortised but tested for impairment.

iii. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to
make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year.The Management believes that the estimates used in
preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these
estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the
results are known / materialise.
iv. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after
providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods
to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and
finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.
v. Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an
original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
vi. Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted
for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.
The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated based on the available
information.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection withan item of fixed asset and whose use is expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over the useful life of theprincipal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets after its purchase / completion is capitalisedonly if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessedstandard of performance.
Fixed assets acquired and put to use for project purpose are capitalised and depreciation thereon is included in theproject cost till commissioning of the project.
xi. Capital work-in-progress:
Projects under which tangible fixed assets are not yet ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising directcost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.

All assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are translated at the year-end rates.
xiv. Accounting for forward contracts
Premium/discount on forward exchange contracts, which are not intended for trading or speculation purposes, areamortised over the period of the contracts if such contracts relate to monetary items as at the Balance Sheet date.
xv. Hedge Accounting
The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuationsrelating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedgingrelationship by applying the hedge accounting principles set out in "Accounting Standard 30 Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement" issued by the ICAI. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reportingdate. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cashflows are recognised directly in "Hedging reserve account" under Reserves and surplus, net of applicable deferred incometaxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Amountsaccumulated in the "Hedging reserve account" are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in thesame periods during which the forecasted transaction affects profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when thehedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecastedtransactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in "Hedging reserve account" is retaineduntil the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulativegain or loss recognised in "Hedging reserve account" is immediately transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Profitand Loss.
xvi. Government grants and export incentives
Government grants in the nature of promoters' contribution like investment subsidy, where no repayment is ordinarilyexpected in respect thereof, are treated as capital reserve.
Grants relating to Fixed assets in the nature of project capital subsidy are credited to Capital reserve.
Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receivingthe same.
xvii. Investment
Investments, which are readily realisable and are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on whichsuch investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-terminvestments.
Long-term investments are valued at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary, in the value of suchinvestments. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and fair value.
xviii. Employee benefits
Employee benefits include provident fund, employee state insurance scheme, gratuity fund and compensated absences.
a. Defined contribution plans
The contribution to provident fund and employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined contributionplans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made.
64 Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited
b. Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of providing benefits is determined using theProjected Unit Credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each Balance Sheet date. Actuarialgains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur.Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise isamortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. The retirementbenefit obligation recognised in the Consolidated Balance Sheet represents the present value of the definedbenefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets.Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus the present value of available refundsand reductions in future contributions to the schemes.
c. Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the servicesrendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefitsinclude compensated absences which are expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period inwhich the employee renders the related service.
The cost of short-term compensated absences is accounted as under:
� in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render the services that increase theirentitlement of future compensated absences; and
� in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences occur.
d. Long-term employee benefits
Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in whichthe employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the defined benefitobligation as at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets out of which the obligations areexpected to be settled.
xix. Borrowing Costs:
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange differences arising from foreigncurrency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with theborrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the ConsolidatedStatement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets,pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying assetupto the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs issuspended and charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active developmentactivity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.
xx. Segment reporting
The Group identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns and the internalorganisation and management structure. The operating segments are the segments for which separate financial informationis available and for which operating profit / loss amounts are evaluated regularly by the executive Management indeciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
xxi. Leases
The Group's significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises that are cancellable innature. The lease rental paid under such agreements are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss onstraight line basis.
xxii. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinaryitems, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per shareis computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) asadjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to thedilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earningsper share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of alldilutive potential equity shares.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of
adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset, if there is convincing evidence that the entity will pay
normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the entity.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting
income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is
measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax
liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of items other
than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation
and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient
future taxable income available to realise the assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to
taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for their realisability.
xxiv. Research and development expenses
Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Development
costs of products are also charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss unless a product's technical feasibility
has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalised. The amount capitalised comprises expenditure that
can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to creating, producing and making the asset
ready for its intended use. Fixed assets utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance
with the policies stated for Fixed Assets.
xxv. Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each Balance Sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any
indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the
carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net
selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value
based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in
earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, except in case of revalued assets.
xxvi. Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events 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 (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the
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. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are
neither recognised nor disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
xxvii. Insurance claims
Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted / expected to be admitted and to the extent that there
is no uncertainty in receiving the claims.
xxviii.Service tax input credit
Service tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying service received is accounted
and when there is no uncertainty in availing / utilising the credits.
xxix. Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their
realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of
classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.
