MSD for Mothers in India
MSD for mothers is a 10 year $500 million initiative to create a world where no woman dies from complications from pregnancy and child birth. Drawing on our history of discovering innovative, life-saving medicines and vaccines, we are applying our scientific and business expertise — as well as our financial and human resources — to reduce maternal mortality around the world. We are focused on access to quality, affordable care, product innovation, and awareness and advocacy.
Maternal Mortality in India
India has come a long way in reducing maternal mortality due to a range of government-led efforts. The National Rural Health Mission and initiatives like the Janani Suraksha Yojana and Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana have helped lower the number of women who die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth in India from an estimated 148,000 deaths in 1990 to 50,000 in 2013. However, India has more maternal deaths than any other country in the world i. Women in rural villages and urban slums are disproportionately affected by maternal mortality. Maternal mortality remains too big and complex an issue for one sector to shoulder alone – it requires a coordinated effort among the government, nonprofits, and the private health sector.
Programs and Partners
MSD for Mothers has committed $10 million to innovative partnerships with leading non-governmental organizations. These partnerships will engage and explore the potential of local private providers and health businesses to strengthen maternal healthcare in three states with particularly high rates of maternal mortality: Jharkhand (278 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births), Rajasthan (331 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births), and Uttar Pradesh (345 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births)ii. The partnerships are setting out to improve the affordability, accessibility and quality of private maternal health services and reach nearly 500,000 pregnant women over the next three years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the members of Fulford (India) Limited
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements1. We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Fulford (India) Limited (the
“company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2016, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements2. The company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements to give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone financial statements based on our
audit.
4. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder including the accounting standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report.
5. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and pronouncements require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
6. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the company’s Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
7. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Opinion8. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the company as at 31st March, 2016 and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Referred to in paragraph 10(g) of the Independent Auditors’ Report of even date to the members of Fulford (India) Limited on the standalone financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2016
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act1. We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Fulford (India) Limited (the
“company”) as of 31st March, 2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls2. The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal financial controls over financial
reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting6. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised

acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion8. In our opinion, the company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2016 based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

The company’s contributions to Defined Contribution Plans are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plan
The company has Defined Benefit Plan for post employment benefits in the form of Gratuity. Gratuity schemes of the company are administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Liability for Defined Benefit Plan is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit method. The obligations are measured as the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates reflecting the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations. The estimate of future salary increases considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. The expected rate of return of plan assets is the company’s expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. Plan assets are measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet date.
(iii) Other Employee Benefit
The employees are also entitled to Other Long-term Benefit in the form of Compensated Absences as per the company’s policy. The liability for Compensated Absences is provided on the basis of valuation, as at Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit method.
(iv) Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.
(v) Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

(h) Taxes on Income
Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of estimated taxable income for the year.
Deferred tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets, on timing differences, being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation and/or carry forward of tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable income.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit entitlement asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period.
(i) Leases
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the period of lease.
(j) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
The company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
(k) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date and the results of operations during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to such accounting estimates is recognised in the accounting period in which such revision takes place.

49. In the year ended 31st December, 2006, the company had raised ` 402,500,000 by issuing 700,000 equity shares of ` 10 each at a premium of ` 565 per share to its promoters, Dashtag, UK. Of the aforesaid balance, the company has utilised ` 138,813,974 (Previous year ` 109,286,718) towards business expansion up to 31st March, 2016. The remaining amount of ` 263,686,026 continue to be invested in fixed deposits with banks pending utilisation of the same.
50. On 1st October, 2014, the company entered into a ‘Business Transfer Agreement’ with Bayer Pharmaceuticals Private Limited (“Bayer”), consequent to which the Consumer Care Business and Rx Product Business comprising of Alaspan, Polaramine and Tinaderm were transferred to Bayer with effect from 1st January, 2015 for a consideration of ` 43,073,100.
51. Disclosures for Employee Share based Payments. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has issued a Guidance Note on “Accounting for Employee Share based Payments”,
which is applicable to employee share based payment plans, the grant date in respect of which falls on or after 1st April, 2005. Some of the employees of the company are entitled to an option to purchase certain shares of the ultimate holding company, Merck & Co., Inc., USA under an option agreement entered into between the ultimate holding company and the employee. The stock option scheme of the ultimate holding company is being managed and administered by the ultimate holding company for its own benefit and the company is not compensating its ultimate holding company for the grants made to the employees and accordingly, there are no costs being reflected in the financial statements. The details of employee share based payments are not readily available with the company and hence, the same are not disclosed.
There are two schemes under which employees are granted stock options: (A) A stock option scheme (‘ESOP’) as per which the employee has the right to purchase a fixed number of shares of the ultimate
holding company at a fixed price for a fixed period of time. The incentive to the employee is the value employee realises from a stock option and is dependent on the current value of the stock being higher than the option price.
(B) Restricted Stock Award Unit (‘RSU’) is a grant valued in terms of the ultimate holding company stock, but the ultimate holding company stock is not issued at the time of the grant. After a recipient of a unit satisfies the vesting requirement, the ultimate holding company will distribute shares or the cash equivalent of the number of shares used to value the unit. No payment is required under the restricted stock award.
52. On 25th April, 2014, the promoter of the company, Dashtag (“Acquirer”), notified the company of its intention to make a voluntary delisting offer (“Delisting Offer”) to the public shareholders of the company in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2009 (“Delisting Regulations”) to acquire 976,763 equity shares, representing 25.05% of the paid-up equity share capital of the company held by the public shareholders of the company and consequently delist the equity shares of the company from the BSE Limited. The Acquirer, vide letter dated on 1st December, 2014, had informed the company that on account of the abnormal spurt in the share price, the Acquirer has decided not to make the public announcement of the Delisting Offer at this time.
In the current year, vide public announcement dated 29th May, 2015 and offer letter dated 29th May, 2015, the Acquirer made the Delisting Offer to the public shareholders. The public shareholders of the company were invited to submit bids pursuant to a Reverse Book Building process made available through the electronic system of the BSE Limited from 3rd June, 2015 to 9th June, 2015. Vide a public announcement dated 17th July, 2015, the Acquirer accepted the discovered price of ` 2,400 per Share (“Exit Price”). Pursuant to the successful offer announcement, the Acquirer acquired 625,928 shares from public shareholders of the company at the Exit Price. On 30th July, 2015, the Acquirer, made a public announcement, informing the Residual Shareholders of the terms and conditions of the Exit Offer. The Exit Offer period opened on 7th August, 2015 and will close on 6th August, 2016. Following the closure of the Delisting Offer and in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, the company applied for the delisting of its Shares from the BSE and pursuant to the same, the shares of the company were delisted from with effect from 7th August, 2015 and no longer traded on the BSE with effect from 31st July, 2015 as per notice of BSE Limited dated 27th July, 2015. The Acquirer has successfully acquired a total of 805,535 shares from public shareholders of the company till 30th April, 2016.

Pvt. Ltd. (“the Company”) as of 31st March,2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls2. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls
based on the [internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).] These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditors’ Responsibility3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting6. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company;
Schering-Plough (India) Private Limited
Schering-Plough (India) Private Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 73
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31-03-2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their report referred to in the Other Matter paragraph below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting6. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
Fulford (India) Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 83
Annexure A to Independent Auditors’ Report (contd.)
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the
possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion8. In our opinion, the holding company and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated
in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2016 based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Other Matter9. Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness
of the internal financial controls over financial reporting insofar as it relates to subsidiary company, which is the company incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding report of the auditors of such company incorporated in India. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Fulford (India) Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 88
1. Background (a) Fulford (India) Limited (the ‘company’) was incorporated as C. E. Fulford (India) Limited on 2nd March, 1948. The name of
the company was subsequently changed to C. E. Fulford (India) Private Limited on 7th August, 1968, Fulford (India) Private Limited on 15th January, 1981 and Fulford (India) Limited on 17th August, 1981. The company is engaged in the business of manufacturing and trading of Pharmaceuticals. The company is a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., USA.
(b) The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 21 – Consolidated Financial Statements under sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 [Refer Note 2(a)]. The particulars in respect of subsidiary considered in the consolidated financial statements are as follows –
Name of the Company Country of Incorporation Percentage of OwnershipSchering-Plough (India) Private Limited India 100%
2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Preparation These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in
India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis. Pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, till the Standards of Accounting or any addendum thereto are prescribed by the Central Government in consultation and recommendation of the National Financial Reporting Authority, the existing Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 shall continue to apply. Consequently, these consolidated financial statements are prepared to comply in all material aspects with the Accounting Standards notified under sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 [Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended] and the other relevant provisions of the Act.
All assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current as per the company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current/non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
(b) Fixed Assets (i) Tangible Assets Tangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition, including any attributable cost for bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use, less accumulated depreciation/amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is provided on Straight Line Method, pro-rata to the period of use, over the useful lives of the assets which
are lower than the useful lives based on rates prescribed under Schedule II to the Act in order to reflect the actual usage of assets. The estimates of useful lives of the assets, based on the management evaluation, have not undergone a change on account of transition to the Act. The useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Description Estimated Useful Life Plant and Equipment 6.67 or 10 years Furniture and Fixtures 10 years Vehicles 5 years Office Equipment 5 or 6.67 years Computers 3 or 5 years Leasehold Improvements 5 years
(ii) Intangible Assets Intangible assets are amortised on straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of the assets are
as follows:
Description Estimated Useful Life Computer Software 3 years
Fixed assets costing ` 5,000 or less are fully depreciated/amortised in the year of acquisition. A nominal value of ` 1 is assigned to fully depreciated/amortised assets.
Assessment is carried out at each Balance Sheet date as to whether there is any indication that an asset (tangible and intangible) may be impaired. Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceed their recoverable
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2016
Fulford (India) Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 89
amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.
(c) Investments Long-term Investments are stated at cost. Provision is made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the value of
Long-term Investments. Current Investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value.
(d) Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on First In First Out basis. Cost of work-
in-progress and finished goods includes manufacturing overheads, where applicable. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(e) Foreign Currency Transactions Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses
arising out of subsequent fluctuations are accounted for on actual payment or realisation. Monetary items denominated in foreign currency as at the Balance Sheet date are converted at the exchange rates prevailing on that date. Exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(f) Revenue Recognition Sale of Products are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the
customers as per the terms of the contract and are recognised net of excise duty, sales tax, rebates and trade discounts. Provision is made for the non-sellable returns of goods from the customers estimated on the basis of historical data of such
returns. Such provision for non-sellable sales returns is reduced from sales for the year. Sale of Services are recognised on the basis of contractual arrangements and are net of service tax. Interest Income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest.
(g) Employee Benefits
(i) Defined Contribution Plans The company has Defined Contribution Plans for post employment benefits in the form of Provident Fund,
Superannuation Fund, Employees’ State Insurance Scheme and Employees’ Deposits Linked Insurance Scheme which are administered through Government of India. Provident Fund, Superannuation Fund, Employees’ State Insurance Scheme and Employees’ Deposits Linked Insurance Scheme are classified as Defined Contribution Plans as the company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions. The company’s contributions to Defined Contribution Plans are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
(ii) Defined Benefit Plan The company has Defined Benefit Plan for post employment benefits in the form of Gratuity. Gratuity schemes of
the company are administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Liability for Defined Benefit Plan is provided on the basis of valuation, as at the Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit method. The obligations are measured as the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates reflecting the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the Balance Sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations. The estimate of future salary increases considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. The expected rate of return of plan assets is the company’s expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. Plan assets are measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet date.
(iii) Other Employee Benefit The employees are also entitled to Other Long-term Benefit in the form of Compensated Absences as per the company’s
policy. The liability for Compensated Absences is provided on the basis of valuation, as at Balance Sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The actuarial valuation method used for measuring the liability is the Projected Unit Credit method.
(iv) Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.
(v) Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
Notes forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2016 (contd.)
Fulford (India) Limited ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 90
(h) Taxes on Income Current tax is determined as the amount of tax payable in respect of estimated taxable income for the year. Deferred tax is recognised, subject to the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets, on timing differences,
being the difference between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation and/or carry forward of tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable income.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit entitlement asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period.
(i) Leases Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are
classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the period of lease.
(j) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities The company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation and the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
(k) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles requires the
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date and the results of operations during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to such accounting estimates is recognised in the accounting period in which such revision takes place.

41. Disclosures for Employee Share based PaymentsThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has issued a Guidance Note on “Accounting for Employee Share based Payments”, which is applicable to employee share based payment plans, the grant date in respect of which falls on or after 1st April, 2005. Some of the employees of the company are entitled to an option to purchase certain shares of the ultimate holding company, Merck & Co., Inc., USA under an option agreement entered into between the ultimate holding company and the employee. The stock option scheme of the ultimate holding company is being managed and administered by the ultimate holding company for its own benefit and the company is not compensating its ultimate holding company for the grants made to the employees and accordingly, there are no costs being reflected in the financial statements. The details of employee share based payments are not readily available with the company and hence, the same are not disclosed.
There are two schemes under which employees are granted stock options:
(A) A stock option scheme (‘ESOP’) as per which the employee has the right to purchase a fixed number of shares of the ultimate holding company at a fixed price for a fixed period of time. The incentive to the employee is the value employee realises from a stock option and is dependent on the current value of the stock being higher than the option price.
(B) Restricted Stock Award Unit (‘RSU’) is a grant valued in terms of the ultimate holding company stock, but the ultimate holding company stock is not issued at the time of the grant. After a recipient of a unit satisfies the vesting requirement, the ultimate holding company will distribute shares or the cash equivalent of the number of shares used to value the unit. No payment is required under the restricted stock award.
42. On 25th April, 2014, the promoter of the company, Dashtag (“Acquirer”), notified the company of its intention to make a voluntary delisting offer (“Delisting Offer”) to the public shareholders of the company in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Delisting of Equity Shares) Regulations, 2009 (“Delisting Regulations”) to acquire 976,763 equity shares, representing 25.05% of the paid-up equity share capital of the company held by the public shareholders of the company and consequently delist the equity shares of the company from the BSE Limited. The Acquirer, vide letter dated on 1st December, 2014, had informed the company that on account of the abnormal spurt in the share price, the Acquirer has decided not to make the public announcement of the Delisting Offer at this time.
In the current year, vide public announcement dated 29th May, 2015 and offer letter dated 29th May, 2015, the Acquirer made the Delisting Offer to the public shareholders. The public shareholders of the company were invited to submit bids pursuant to a Reverse Book Building process made available through the electronic system of the BSE Limited from 3rd June, 2015 to 9th June, 2015. Vide a public announcement dated 17th July, 2015, the Acquirer accepted the discovered price of ` 2,400 per Share (“Exit Price”). Pursuant to the successful offer announcement, the Acquirer acquired 625,928 shares from public shareholders of the company at the Exit Price. On 30th July, 2015, the Acquirer, made a public announcement, informing the Residual Shareholders of the terms and conditions of the Exit Offer. The Exit Offer period opened on 7th August, 2015 and will close on 6th August, 2016. Following the closure of the Delisting Offer and in accordance with the Delisting Regulations, the company applied for the delisting of its Shares from the BSE and pursuant to the same, the shares of the company were delisted from with effect from 7th August, 2015 and no longer traded on the BSE with effect from 31st July, 2015 as per notice of BSE Limited dated 27th July, 2015.
