meeting held on May 12, 2026.
2.1 Basis of preparation
(i) Compliance with Ind AS
These financial Statements comply in all
material aspects with the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section
133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the
Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant
provisions of the Act.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The Financial Statements have been
prepared on the historical cost basis except
for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities
(including derivative instruments)
- defined benefit plans - plan assets
measured at fair value
- share based payments that are measured
at fair value at grant date.
- on transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017,
the company elected to consider the
fair value of all of its property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets in its
opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed
cost of property, plant and equipment.
(iii) Based on the nature of products 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.
(iv) New and amended standards adopted by
the Company
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs vide
notification dated May 7, 2025 and
August 13, 2025 notified the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2025 and Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Second Amendment
Rules, 2025, respectively, which amended
certain accounting standards (see below),
and are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 April 2025:
(a) Classification of Liabilities as Current or
Non-current and Non-current Liabilities
with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1
This new policy did not result in a change
in the classification of Company''s
borrowings. The Company did not make
retrospective adjustments as a result of
adopting the amendments to Ind AS 1.
(b) Supplier Finance Arrangements -
Amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107
As a result of the adoption of the
amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind
AS 107, the Company provided new
disclosures for liabilities under supplier
finance arrangements in note 18 (i)
and note 21 (a).
(c) International Tax Reform - Pillar Two
Model Rules - Amendments to Ind AS 12
The Company is not within the scope
of the OECD Pillar Two Model Rules, as
Pillar Two legislation has not yet been
enacted in any of the jurisdictions in
which the Company operates.
(d) Lack of Exchangeability -
Amendments to Ind AS 21
The amended Ind AS 21 have added
requirements to help entities to
determine whether a currency is
exchangeable into another currency, and
the spot exchange rate to use where it
is not. These amendments did not have
any material impact on the amounts
recognised in prior periods and are
not expected to significantly affect the
current or future periods.
(v) Standards issued but not yet effective
MCA notified new standards or amendments
to the existing standards under Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as
issued from time to time.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or
Non-current and Non-current Liabilities
with Covenants - Amendments to Ind AS 1:
This amendment also includes specific
provisions that will take effect for reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 April 2026, as
outlined below.
Under the existing Ind AS 1, where there is a
breach of a material provision of a long-term
loan arrangement on or before the end of
the reporting period with the effect that
the liability becomes payable on demand
on the reporting date, the entity does not
classify the liability as current, if the lender
agreed, after the reporting period and before
the approval of the financial statements
for issue, not to demand payment as a
consequence of the breach.
However, the amended requirements
stipulate that entities will no longer be
permitted to consider lender waivers that
are granted after the reporting date but
before the financial statements are approved
for the purpose of classification of loans.
This amendment is required to be applied
retrospectively in accordance with Ind
AS 8. The Company does not expect this
amendment to have an impact on its
operation or financial statements.
2.2 Use of critical estimates and
management judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires
the use of accounting estimates which, by
definition, will likely defer from the actual results.
Management also needs to exercise judgement
in applying the Company''s accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas
that involved a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, and of items which are more likely
to be materially adjusted due to estimates and
assumptions turning out to be different than
those originally assessed. The areas involving
critical estimates or judgements are:
(i) Provision for Warranties (Refer note 19.2)
(ii) Provision for refund liabilities (Refer note 26)
(iii) Defined benefit plan obligations (Refer
note 19.1 & 37)
(iv) Allowance for expected credit loss (Refer
note 10 & 36.3.(ii))
Detailed information about each of these
estimates and judgements is included in relevant
notes together with information about the basis
of calculation for each affected line item in the
financial statements.
3(A) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Freehold land is carried at historical cost less
impairment, if any. All other items of property,
plant and equipment are stated at historical cost
l ess depreci ati on , and im pairment loss, i f any.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the assets.
Depreciation methods, estimated useful
lives and residual value
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line
method to allocate the cost of the assets, net of
their residual values, over their estimated useful
lives as follows:
(*) Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of their useful life or the lease term, unless the
entity expects to use the assets beyond the lease term.
The useful lives have been determined based on
technical evaluation done by the management
which are in line or lower than those specified by
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in order
to reflect the actual usage of the assets.
See note 52.1 for the other accounting policies
relevant to Property, Plant and Equipment.
3(C) RIGHT OF USE ASSETS
As a lessee
The Company leases premises for its corporate office and various retail stores for which rental contracts are
generally for a period of three to five years, but may have extension options as per the terms of the lease.
The Company also leases certain Plant and Machinery for a fixed period of five years.
The Company assesses whether 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 assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(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.
Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in
the contract to the lease and non -lease component based on their relative standalone prices.
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 in the statement of profit and loss.
The ROU assets are initially measured 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 and restoration costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
ROU assets are depreciated from the lease commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter
of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a
purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset''s useful life.
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 (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 Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which
the asset belongs.
Lease Liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments
have been classified as financing cash flows.
See note 52.2 for the other accounting policies relevant to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
(v) Pursuant to the Company''s evolving store portfolio strategy, which includes periodic store consolidations
and closures, the Company reassessed its estimates relating to measurement and recognition of the right
of use assets (including related security deposits) and corresponding lease liabilities under Ind AS 116.
This reassessment resulted in a one-time gain of INR 15.71, which is recorded under ''Other gains / (losses)
- net''. Consequent to such reassessment, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities stands reduced by
Rs. 1,064.42 and Rs. 1,080.13 respectively.
3(D) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill on acquisitions of business is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
I ntangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over
their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Amortisation method and useful lives
The Company amortises intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the
following periods:
I nventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. Volume rebates or
discounts are taken into account when estimating the cost of inventory if it is probable that they have been
earned and will take effect.
9 INVENTORIES (CONTD.)
Notes:
(i) Raw materials, components, packing materials and work-in-progess is net of provision for obsolescence
of Rs. 33.55 (March 31, 2025: Rs. 20.87).
(ii) Finished goods and traded goods are net of provision for obsolescence aggregating to Rs.16.30 (March 31,
2025: Rs.11.73) and is net of write-down for Net realizable value Rs.0.1 (March 31, 2025: Rs. 0.01).
(iii) Amounts recognised in profit or loss
Provisions / write-downs of inventories on account of obsolescence, physical verification discrepencies
and net realisable value writedowns aggregated to Rs. 17.25 (March 31, 2025: Reversal of Rs. 36.75). These
were recognised as an expense during the year and included in ''Changes in inventories of finished goods,
stock-in-trade and work-in-progress'', and ''cost of materials consumed'' in statement of profit and loss.
10 TRADE RECEIVABLES
For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach required under Ind AS 109, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
The Company has from time to time in the normal course of business entered into factoring agreements
with Banks/Institutions for some of the trade receivables on a non-recourse basis. Under this arrangement,
the late payment and credit risk is transferred to Banks/Institutions without recourse to the Company.
Therefore the Company derecognises the transferred assets at the point when the amount is received from
the Banks/Institutions. The trade receivables do not include receivables amounting to Rs.240.02 (March 31,
2025: Rs.111.99) which has been derecognised (though the actual credit period to the customer has not
expired) in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, pursuant to such factoring arrangements.
(ii) Terms and rights attached to equity shares
The Company has one class of equity shares having a face value of INR 10/- per share. Each holder of the
equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject
to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting, except in the case of interim
dividend. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of
the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, if any in proportion to their holdings.
(iii) Shares reserved for issue under options:
Information relating to Stove Kraft Limited Employee Stock Option Plan, including details of options issued,
exercised and lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding as at the end of the reporting period,
is set out in Note 38.
(iv) Contracts or commitments for the sale of shares or disinvestment:
There are no contracts or commitments for the sale of shares or disinvestment.
15(A) EQUITY SHARE CAPITAL (CONTD.)
(vii) The Company has not allotted any equity shares pursuant to contract without payment received in cash and
has not brought back shares during the period of 5 years immediately preceding year ended March 31, 2026.
(viii) The Company has not issued any equity shares as fully paid-up by way of bonus shares during 5 years
immediately preceding year ended March 31, 2026.
Nature and purpose of Reserves:
(i) Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represents the profits/(loss) that the Company has earned till date including fair
value gains recognized at the time of adoption of Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, less any transfers to other
reserves and other distributions paid to its equity shareholders [also refer Note 3(a)(iv)].
(ii) Securities premium
Securities premium is used to record the premium received on issue of shares. The securities premium
is utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Suppliers credit are part of the fund / non-fund based bank facilities which are secured by way of hypothecation
of inventory, trade receivables, other financial assets and other current assets, charge over property, plant
and equipment of the company along with equitable mortgage of immovable properties. Additionally the
Company has given margin money deposits as security covering 5% of the overall suppliers credit limit.
Note (i): Liabilities under supplier finance arrangement
Suppliers credit represents the extended credit period offered by the supplier which is secured against
Letter of Credit (LC). Under this arrangement, the supplier is eligible to receive payment from negotiating
bank prior to the expiry of the extended credit period. The interest for the extended credit period payable
to the bank on maturity of the LC has been presented under finance cost.
Key terms and conditions of the arrangement are:
a. The Company decides which invoices will be financed.
b. The financier pays the supplier on presentation and acceptance of bill of lading.
c. The company pays the financier between 90 to 360 days from the bill of lading date for import
transaction and on or before 360 days from the date of receipt of goods for domestic transaction.
d. The financing terms are negotiated by the Company and it bears interest in the range of 4.6%-7.25% per
annuum on the extended credit availaed.
The Company does not have significant concentration of liquidty risk with any individual finance provider.
There were no material business combinations or foreign exchange differences that would affect the liabilities
under the supplier finance arrangement in either period.
The carrying amounts of liabilities under the supplier finance arrangement are considered to be reasonable
approximations of their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
* The company has not provided comparative information in respect of the amendments to Ind AS 7 and Ind AS 107
relating to supplier finance arrangements, as it has applied the transitional relief available on initial adoption of these
amendments, which allows entities not to present comparative disclosures for prior periods.
19 PROVISIONS (NON-CURRENT)19.1 Employee Benefits
See note 52.13 for the other accounting policies relevant to Employee Benefits.
Warranties against manufactured and other defects as per the terms of the contract with the customers,
are provided for based on the estimates made by the Company for standard warranty obligation. It is
expected that the expenditure against standard warranties will be incurred in the remaining unexpired
warranty period ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Management estimates the provision based on historical
warranty claim information and any recent trends that many suggest future claims could differ from historical
amounts. Factors that affect the warranty liability include historical and anticipated rate of warranty claims.
The estimate is reviewed on an on-going basis and revised where appropriate.
20 BORROWINGS (CURRENT) (CONTD.)
Note:
(i) Packing credit are in the nature of demand loans which are secured by way of hypothecation of
current assets.
(ii) Secured loans repayable on demand from banks are in the nature of working capital loans which are
secured by way of hypothecation of inventory, trade receivables, other financial assets and other current
assets, charge over property, plant and equipment of the company along with equitable mortgage of
immovable properties.
(a) Liabilities under supplier finance arrangement
Supplier finance arrangements
The company has entered into supplier financing arrangements with various third-party/ finance providers
(the financiers). These arrangements allow suppliers to receive early payment for their invoices through the
financiers. The financier pays the supplier early at a discounted rate, and the company settles the outstanding
balance directly with the financier at the actual due date.
Key terms and conditions of the arrangement are:
a. The financier pays the supplier before the commerically agreed due date.
b. The company pays the financier on the commercially agreed due date and does not obtain any extended
credit terms from the financier.
c. Supplier bears the cost of financing on the early payment availed.
Note (i):
The Company has entered into a sale and leaseback transaction in the current year with a third party in respect
of certain plant and equipments. The transfer of assets does not meet definition of a sale under Ind AS 115
and hence the transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement under Ind AS 109. Accordingly, the
Company continues to recognise the said property, plant and equipment and has created a financial liability
equal to the transfer proceeds in accordance with Ind AS 109. The said financial liability will be subsequently
measured at amortised cost as per requirements of Ind AS 109.
26 OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES (CONTD.)
Notes :
Provision for refund liabilities
(i) Refund liability (included in other current liabilities) is recognised for expected volume discounts
payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No significant
element of financing is deemed present as the sales are generally made with a credit term of 30 to
90 days, which is consistent with market practice. Refund liabilities include incentive schemes payable
(volume discounts etc.,) to its customers amounting to Rs.43.17 (March 31, 2025: Rs.99.49).
(ii) Where a customer has a right to return a product within a given period, the Company has recognised
refund liability for the amount of consideration received for which the entity does not expect to be
entitled to which amounts to Rs.43.92 (March 31, 2025: Rs.30.71). The Company also recognises an
asset (i.e., right to recover the returned goods- Refer Note 14). The costs to recover the products are
not material because the customers usually return them in a saleable condition.
27 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS
Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to our
customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The performance obligations in the
contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on
customer terms.
Revenue is measured based on the price specified in the contract, after deduction of any trade discounts,
volume rebates, loyalty benefits and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as
goods and services tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts
and rebates. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal
will not occur.
The Company sells its products to its customers with a right of return within the provided return period.
When such customers have a right to return the product the Company recognises a refund liability and an
asset (via right to recover returned goods). No significant element of financing deemed present as the sales
are made with a credit term ranging from 30 to 90 days, which is consistent with market practice.
Sale of Scrap
The scrap generated from manufacturing process is disposed-off by the management on a periodic basis.
Other operating revenue from sale of scarp is recognised when control of the scrap being sold is transferred
to the customer. The performance obligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch or delivery
to the customer in accordance with delivery terms.
Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that
the grant will be received and the company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants
relating to income are grants other than those related to assets and are recognized in the profit or loss and
presented within other operating income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are reduced from the carrying
amount of the asset. Such grants are recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the useful life of the
relatable depreciable asset by way of reduced depreciation charge.
27 REVENUE FROM OPERATIONS (CONTD.)
Franchisee income
In accordance with the terms of the franchise agreements, the Company collects an upfront, non-refundable
franchise fee from franchisees. Revenue from such fees is recognised on a straight-line basis over the primary
term of the related lease agreement and the unrecognised portion is presented as a contract liability for the
remaining period of the performance obligation.
(iv) For the current and previous year, there is no revenue recognised from amounts included in contract
liabilities at the beginning of the year.
(v) The Company is eligible for Duty Drawback and Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products
(RoDTEP). The income recognized on Duty Drawback and RoDTEP is Rs.6.34 (March 31, 2025: Rs.5.85)
and Rs.9.14 (March 31, 2025: Rs.10.77) respectively.
Note:
On November 21, 2025, the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India, notified the
implementation of four labour codes: the Code on Wages, 2019; the Industrial Relations Code, 2020; the
Code on Social Security, 2020; and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
(collectively referred to as âthe Labour Codesâ).
These newly implemented Labour Codes, among other provisions, require gratuity and compensated
absences to be calculated based on wages constituting at least 50% of total remuneration. This change has
resulted in an increase in gratuity and compensated benefits in respect of services rendered in prior periods,
and accordingly, the Company has recognised total past service cost amounting to Rs.12.01 during the year.
In accordance with Ind AS 19, the past service cost has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss
in the current year in which the plan amendment became effective. The gratuity and compensated absences
obligation has been actuarially valued by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method,
considering the revised definition of wages for gratuity computation.
The Company continues to monitor the finalisation of Central / State Rules and clarifications from the
Government on other aspects of the Labour Code and would provide appropriate accounting effect on the
basis of such developments as needed.
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and
prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
36 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
36.1 Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximising
the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt and total equity as outlined below. The Company
reviews the capital structure on a periodic basis to ensure that it is in compliance with the required debt
covenants, if any.
(ii) Fair value hierarchy
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value
that are either observable or unobservable and consist of the following three levels:
Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded
derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.
The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV. The quoted market price used for financial assets
held by the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example,
traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise
the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all
significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level
2. The fair value of derivative contracts are determined using the market approach considering forward
exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument
is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and
indemnification asset included in level 3.
There are no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year. The Company''s policy is to
recognise transfer into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is 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 management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities
recognised in these financial statements at amortised cost approximate their fair values.
36.3 Financial risk management
The company''s risk management is carried out by Treasury department under policies laid down by the
management. The Company''s activities expose it to market risk (which includes currency risk, interest rate
risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury department monitors the risk exposures on a
periodical basis and reports to the Board of directors on the risks that it monitors and policies implemented
to mitigate risk exposures.
The company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge
risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the company''s policies approved by the
board of directors on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and
non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. The company does not enter
into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
(i) Market Risk
The Company''s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates [refer Note (a) below] and interest rates [refer Note (b) below].
(a) Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk due to exposure arising from transactions relating to
purchase of goods including capital goods, revenues, expenses, etc., to be settled in foreign currencies.
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange forward contracts
to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the export and import of goods;
Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising foreign exchange
forward contracts.
Foreign exchange forward contracts
I t is the policy of the company to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to cover the risk
associated with foreign currency payables and receivables.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The company is mainly exposed to the US Dollar currency (USD) and Chinese Yuan (RMB), The following
table details the Company''s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in INR against the USD and
RMB. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management
personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign
exchange rates. The impact on account of 5% appreciation/depreciation in exchange rate of USD and
RMB against INR is given below.
For the purposes of the above table, it is assumed that the carrying value of the financial assets and
liabilities as at the end of the respective financial years remains constant thereafter. The exchange rate
considered for the sensitivity analysis is the exchange rate prevalent as at each year end.
The sensitivity analysis might not be representative of inherent foreign exchange risk due to the fact
that the foreign currency exposure at the end of the reporting year might not reflect the exposure
during the year.
(b) Interest rate risk
At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the company''s interest-bearing financial instruments is
as follows (also refer Note 16 and 20):
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting
in financial loss to the Company. The company has adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy
counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled
by counterparty limits. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts
receivable. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and
unrelated. The company does not hold any collaterals to cover its risk associated with trade receivables.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and
financial institutions.
The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and derivative financial instruments
is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international
credit-rating agencies.
Loans, Investments and other financial assets:
â Other financial assets'' includes balances with banks, security deposits, government incentive receivable,
derivative assets and receivables from related party.
The Company recognises allowances using expected credit loss method on Other financial assets. Such allowances
are measured considering 12-month expected credit loss, based on management''s assessment of credit risk.
Assets are written-off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. However, the Company continues
to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the amounts due. Where recoveries are made, these
are recognised in profit or loss.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company would be unable to meet its short term financial demands.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the management, which has established
an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the company''s short-term,
medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The company manages liquidity
risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously
monitoring forecast and actual short term and long term cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of
financial assets and liabilities.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The following table details the company''s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed
repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted principal cash flows of financial
liabilities. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company would be required to pay.
37 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT
A. Defined contribution plans
The Company pays provident fund and pension contributions to publicly administered funds as per local
regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.
The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and are recognized as employee benefit
expense when they are due.
The Company offers gratuity, a defined employee benefit scheme to its employees. Following are the risks
associated with the plan:
A. Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:â
Salary growth: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result in increase in
obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption
then the gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on
the death benefit, the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the
relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate
assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend
on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant
level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the Company there can be strain on
the cash flows.
C. Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial
markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate
reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit
Obligation of the plan benefits and vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/
government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the
valuation date.
37 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT (CONTD.)
D. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change
in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring
the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the
Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any
such amendment is effective.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service
cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Following tables sets out the status of defined benefit plan and amount recognised in the
financial statement.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions
might be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant
actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated
with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when
calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the prior period.
(viii) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 10.51 years (2025: 4.53 years).
Expected future cash outflows (undiscounted) towards the plan are as follows:
38 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
A. Description of share-based payment arrangements
Share option programs (equity-settled)
The Company has share option scheme âStove Kraft Employee Stock Option Plan 2018â, for employees
of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the plan the Company may grant options to the eligible
employees, as approved by the shareholders of the Company and the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee (the âCommitteeâ). Each employee share option converts into one equity share of the Company
on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The option carry
neither a right to dividends nor voting rights.
Employees Stock Option Plan 2018
Options would vest essentially on passage of time and in addition to this, the committee may also specify
certain performance criteria subject to satisfaction of which the option would vest. Once vested the options
remains exercisable for a period of 4 years. The aggregate number of Equity Shares,which may be issued
under ESOP Plan 2018, shall not exceed 813,000 Equity Shares.
Fair value of share options granted :
The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the year is Rs. 238.88 (March 31, 2025:
no share options granted during the year ). The fair value of the employee share options has been measured
using the Black-Scholes formula. The assumptions used in this model for calculating fair value for the grants
made in the current and previous years are as below:
The Company''s business activity primarily falls within a single business segment ''Kitchen and Home appliances''
based on the nature of activity involved and business risks having regard to the internal organisation and
management structure. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the Company''s performance as
a single business segment and not at any other disaggregated level. Accordingly, disclosures for operating
segment as envisaged in Ind AS -108 (Operating Segments) are not applicable to the Company.
See note 52.14 for the other accounting policies relevant to Segment Reporting.
Notes:
(i) I ndirect tax matters under appeal includes litigations on customs duty rate used for import of certain
products, service tax cases relating to disallowance of input tax credit on certain services and VAT cases
relating to non submission of Form C and Form F for various assessment years.
(ii) Direct tax matters relates to disputes on account of adjustments as per various assessment orders.
Also, refer note 50.
(iii) These cases are pending at various forums with the concerned authorities. Outflows if any, arising
out of these claims would depend on the outcome of the decision of the appellate authority and the
Companys right for future appeals before judiciary. No reimbursements are expected. The above does
not include estimated interest of Rs.71.41 (March 31, 2025 Rs. 73.43) from the date of demand to the
reporting date.
46 Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting dated May 12,
2026, have recommended a final dividend of Rs.3.50 per share. This payment of final dividend is subject to
approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting.
47 OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:
The Company gives volume-based incentives and rebates to certain customers. Amounts to be settled by the
Company by way of credit notes are offset against receivables from such customers. The relevant amounts
have therefore been presented net in the balance sheet. Details of such offset is given in the below table.
48 DETAILS OF CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income
based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Current tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted
at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company operates and generate taxable
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation
authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on
the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of
the resolution of the uncertainty.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting
profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when
the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the
asset to be recovered.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from
the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting year, to recover or settle the carrying
amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
50 I n November 2023, the Income Tax Department carried out search operations at the Company''s various
business premises under Section 132 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The Company made the necessary
disclosures to the stock exchanges regarding the search operations.
Subsequently, the Company received notices under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for Assessment
Years (âAYâ) 2019-20 and 2020-21. In response to the notice for AY 2020-21, the Company filed a revised
return incorporating certain adjustments that do not materially impact the financial position or results.
For AY 2019-20, the Company opted not to submit a revised return, as no changes to the previously reported
information were anticipated.
Further, the Company received notices under Section 142(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment
years 2020-21, 2022-23 and 2023-24 for which the Company has responded. As on date, the Company
has received assessment orders and demand notices for the assessment years 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22,
2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, out of which the assessment proceedings for AY 2019-20 and AY 2024-25
have been concluded with Nil demand. For the remaining assessment years, the Company has received
orders under Section 143(3) and demand notices under Section 156 demanding additional tax aggregating
to INR 24.53 million. Appeals for AY 2022-23 and AY 2023-24 have been filed and are currently pending
with the Commissioner of Income Tax Appeals. Additionally, rectification requests for AY 2020-21 and
AY 2021-22 have been submitted and are under consideration by the Deputy Commissioner of Income
Tax. The management believes that the adjustments made are either erroneous or non-appreciative of
submissions/evidence produced.
In the view of the Management, the search operations and the assessment/reassessment proceedings for
various assessment years are not likely to have any material adverse impact on the Company''s financial
position as of March 31, 2026 and the performance for the year ended on that date.

52 SUMMARY OF OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Other than the Material Accounting Policies given, this note provides a list of other accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. The Accounting Policies have been consistently
applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
52.1 Property, Plant and Equipment
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the property,
plant and equipment.
On transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, the company elected to consider the fair value of all of its property,
plant and equipment in its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed cost of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component
accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
The assets'' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.
An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset''s carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are
included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
52.2 Leases
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
- Variable lease payment that are based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as
at the commencement date
- amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantee
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company
exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement
of the liability.
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 payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the
statement of profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on
the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily
determined, the lessee''s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would
have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain asset of similar value to the right-to-use asset in a
similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses a build-up approach that starts with a
risk-free interest rate adjusted for general credit risk for leases held by the Company.
52.3 Goodwill and other Intangible Assets
On transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, the company has elected to consider the fair value of all such
intangible assets in its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed cost of intangible assets.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from
use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
52.4 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of
the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
52.5(A)Investments and other financial assets:
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or
through profit or loss)
- those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the
contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will
depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to
account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Recognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, being the date on
which the Company commits to purchase or sell the financial asset.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset (excluding trade receivables which do
not contain a significant financing component) at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of
the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are
expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether
their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
The Company measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the management has
elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive
income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss
following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments are recognised
in profit or loss as other income when the Company''s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other
gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses)
on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.â
(iv) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets
carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been
a significant increase in credit risk. Note 36.5 details how the Company determines whether there has
been a significant increase in credit risk.
In accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL)
model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach''
for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivable.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach required by Ind AS 109, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
(v) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a
contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised.
Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if it has not retained
control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is
continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(vi) Foreign exchange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting year.
For foreign currency denominated financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and fair value
through profit and loss (âFVTPLâ), the exchange difference are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
52.5(B) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as
equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a
financial liability and an equity instrument.
(ii) Equity Instrument
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after
deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognised by the Company are recognised at the
proceeds received net off direct issue cost.
(iii) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method or at FVTPL.
(iv) Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are designated at FVTPL where it forms part of a contract containing one or more
embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement
recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
(v) Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at
amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting year. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that
are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and
of allocating interest expense over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an
integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through
the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter year, to the net carrying
amount on initial recognition.
(vi) Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost
at the end of each reporting year, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the
amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting year. For financial liabilities that are
measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and
is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
(vii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations
are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in statement of
profit and loss.
(viii) 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 recognised amounts and there is an intention
to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
52.5(C) Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest
rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting year. The resulting gain or loss is
recognised in the Statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective
as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in Statement of profit and loss depends
on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item. Derivatives are carried as
financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
52.5(D)Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind
AS 109 are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to
those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.
52.6 Foreign Currency transactions and translations
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the company operates (''the functional currency''). The financial statements are
presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Stove Kraft Limited''s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis
within other gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and
liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation
differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equity instruments held at fair value through
profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation
differences on non-monetary assets such as equity investments classified as at fair value through other
comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.
52.7 Inventories
Cost of raw materials and traded goods comprises cost of purchases. Cost of inventories also include all
other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned
to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost. Cost of work-in-progress and
finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and
fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of
purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
52.8 Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary
course of business and reflects company''s unconditional right to consideration (that is, payment is
due only on the passage of time). Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price as
they do not contain significant financing components. The Company holds the trade receivables with
the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
52.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and at banks and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.2 Use of critical estimates and management judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results.
Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company''s accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Following are the critical estimates :
(i) Provision for Warranties ( Refer note 19.2)
(ii) Provision for refund liabilities (Refer note 25)
(iii) Defined benefit plan obligations (Refer note 19.1 & 37)
Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements. â
3(A) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost
includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
|
Asset |
Useful life (in years) |
|
Buildings |
10 to 30 years |
|
Plant and machinery |
3 to 25 years |
|
Furniture and fixtures |

See note 52.1 for the other accounting policies relevant to Property, Plant and Equipment.
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
(i) Compliance with Ind AS
These financial Statements comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
(ii) Historical cost convention
The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
- certain financial assets and
liabilities(including derivative
instruments)
- share based payments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting year.
- on transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, the company elected to consider the fair value of all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed cost of property, plant and equipments.
(iii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs had vide notification dated 23 March 2022 notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 which amended certain accounting standards, and are effective 1 April 2022. These amendments did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
(iv) New amendments issued but not effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has vide notification dated 31 March 2023 notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 (the ''Rules'') which amends certain accounting standards, and are effective 1 April 2023.
The Rules predominantly amend Ind AS 12, Income taxes, and Ind AS 1, Presentation of financial statements. The other amendments to Ind AS notified by these rules are primarily in the nature of clarifications.
These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the company in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. Specifically, no changes would be necessary as a consequence of amendments made to Ind AS 12 as the company''s accounting policy already complies with the now mandatory treatment.
(v) Based on the nature of products 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 and liabilities as current and non-current.
2.2 Revenue Recognition
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to our customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations.
The performance obligations in the contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on customer terms.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates, loyalty benefits and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as goods and services tax, etc. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the provision for such discounts and rebates. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.
The Company sells its products to its customers with a right of return within the provided return period. When such customers have a right to return the product the Company recognises a refund liability and an asset (via right to recover returned goods).
(ii) Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset''s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
2.3.1Property, Plant and Equipment
Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
On transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, the company elected to consider the fair value of all of its property, plant and equipment in its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed cost of property, plant and equipments.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset''s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straightline method to allocate the cost of the assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows: *Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term.
The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation done by the management''s which are higher or lower than those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in order to reflect
the actual usage of the assets. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset.
Individual assets costing less than ''5,000/-are depreciated in full in the year of purchase.
The assets'' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset''s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains/(losses).
2.3.2 Intangible assets
Goodwill on acquisitions of business is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straightline basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. On transition to Ind AS as at April 1, 2017, the company has elected to consider the fair value of all such intangible assets in its opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as deemed cost of intangible assets.
The useful lives of intangible assets that is considered for amortization of intangible assets are as follows:
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
2.4 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business and reflects company''s unconditional right to consideration (that is, payment is due only on the passage of time). Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price as they do not contain significant financing components. The company holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.
2.5 Inventories
Raw materials, components and packing materials, work in progress, traded and finished goods are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. Cost of raw materials and traded goods comprises cost of purchases. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of purchased
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.6 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in statement of profit and loss.
A Investments and other financial assets:
(i) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
- those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss)
- those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Recognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, being the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the financial asset.
(iii) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset (excluding trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component) at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
The Company measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company''s right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(iv) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 36.5 details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
In accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivable.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach required by Ind AS 109, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
(v) Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, it evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the Company has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if it has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
(vi) Income recognition Interest Income:
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is disclosed as interest income within other income. Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is calculated using the effective interest method and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as part of other income.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Dividends:
Dividends are received from financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss and at fair value through other conmprehensive income. Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(vii) Foreign exhange gains and losses
The fair value of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of each reporting year.
For foreign currency denominated financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and fair value through profit and loss (âFVTPL"), the exchange difference are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
B Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(i) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(ii) Equity Instrument
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments recognised by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received net off direct issue cost.
(iii) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.
(iv) Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liability has been designated at FVTPL where it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
(v) Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting year. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant year. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter year, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(vi) Foreign exchange gains and losses
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting year, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting year. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.
(vii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
(viii) 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 recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
C Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting year. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in Statement of profit and
loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
D Embedded derivatives
Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.
E Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and at banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.7 Foreign Currency transactions and translations
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (''the functional currency''). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Stove Kraft Limited''s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other gains/ (losses).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equity investments classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.
2.8 Employee Benefits
A Short-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees'' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
B Long-term employee benefit obligations
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by the employees up to the reporting date.
(i) Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity plans is the present value of the defined
benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, if any. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plan
The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.
2.9 Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in Statement of profit and loss in the year in which they are incurred.
2.10Leases
As a lessee
The Company assesses whether 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 assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
(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.
Contracts may contain both lease and nonlease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease component based on their relative standalone prices.
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 l ow-val u e l eases, th e Compa ny recog nizes the lease payments as an operating expense in the statement of profit and loss.
The ROU assets are initially measured 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 and restoration costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
ROU assets are depreciated from the lease commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset''s useful life.
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 (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 Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- Fixed payments (including in -substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
- Variable lease payment that are based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
- amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantee
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee''s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain asset of similar value to the right-to-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for general credit risk for leases held by the Company.
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 payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of profit and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
2.11 Income Taxes
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period''s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Current tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company operates and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially
enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting year, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
