Standalone Financial Statements Annual Report 2014 - 15<br />

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

(All amounts in Indian Rupees millions, except share data and where otherwise stated)<br />

Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance, forms part of the Company’s net investment in a non integral foreign operation<br />

are accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve in the Company’s financial statements. Such exchange differences are recognized in the<br />

statement of profit and loss in the event of disposal of the net investment.<br />

l) Derivative instruments and hedge accounting<br />

The Company uses forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts (derivatives) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange<br />

rates and interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.<br />

The premium or discount on foreign exchange forward contracts is amortized as income or expense over the life of the contract. The exchange<br />

difference is calculated and recorded in accordance with AS 11 (revised) “ The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” in the statement of profit<br />

and loss. The changes in the fair value of foreign currency option contracts and swap contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as<br />

they arise. Fair value of such option and swap contracts is determined based on the appropriate valuation techniques considering the terms of the<br />

contract.<br />

Pursuant to ICAI Announcement “Accounting for Derivatives” on the early adoption of AS 30 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”,<br />

the Company has adopted the Standard, to the extent that the adoption does not conflict with existing mandatory accounting standards and other<br />

authoritative pronouncements, Company law and other regulatory requirements.<br />

Cashflow hedges<br />

The Company classifies its derivative contracts that hedge foreign currency risk associated with highly probable forecasted transactions as cash<br />

flow hedges and measures them at fair value. The effective portion of such cash flow hedges is recorded as part of reserves and surplus within the<br />

Company’s “hedging reserve”, and re-classified into the statement of profit and loss as revenue in the period corresponding to the occurrence of the<br />

forecasted transactions. The ineffective portion is immediately recorded in the statement of profit and loss.<br />

The Company also designates certain non derivative financial liabilities, such as foreign currency borrowings from banks, as hedging instruments<br />

for the hedge of foreign currency risk associated with highly probable forecasted transactions and, accordingly, applies cash flow hedge accounting<br />

for such relationships. Re-measurement gain/loss on such non derivative financial liabilities is recorded as part of reserves and surplus within the<br />

Company’s “hedging reserve”, and re-classified in the statement of profit and loss as revenue in the period corresponding to the occurrence of the<br />

forecasted transactions.<br />

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, gets expired or is sold, terminated or exercised before the occurrence of<br />

the forecasted transaction, the hedge accounting on such transaction is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized<br />

in hedging reserve continues to remain there until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the<br />

balance in hedging reserve is recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.<br />

m) Revenue recognition<br />

Sale of goods<br />

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is<br />

reasonably certain, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement<br />

with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.<br />

Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise duty and is net of returns, sales tax and applicable trade discounts and allowances.<br />

Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.<br />

Sales returns<br />

The Company accounts for sales returns by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a<br />

product sale. This allowance is based on the Company’s estimate of expected sales returns. The estimate of sales returns is determined primarily by<br />

the Company’s historical experience in the markets in which the Company operates.<br />

Profit share revenues<br />

The Company from time to time enters into marketing arrangements with certain business partners for the sale of its products in certain markets.<br />

Under such arrangements, the Company sells its products to the business partners at a non-refundable base purchase price agreed upon in the<br />

arrangement and is also entitled to a profit share which is over and above the base purchase price.<br />

Revenue in an amount equal to the base purchase price is recognized in these transactions upon delivery of products to the business partners. An<br />

additional amount representing the profit share component is recognized as revenue in the period which corresponds to the ultimate sales of the<br />

products made by business partners only when the collectability of the profit share becomes probable and a reliable measurement of the profit share<br />

is available.<br />
