These financial results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 12 June 2021. These financial results are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, ("the Act") read with the relevant Rules thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 2) The figures for the quarters ended March 31 as reported in these Financial Results are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial years ended March 31 and the published year to date figures up to the end of the third quarter of the relevant financial year. 3) The Segment Information for the year ended 31 March 2021, forms an integral part of the Financial Results. 4) The Board of Directors had approved a proposal to buy back a maximum of 20 lakh equity shares of the Company having a face value of Rs.10 each at a price not exceeding Rs.300 per share aggregating to Rs.6000 lakhs, from the open market through Stock Exchange mechanism in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018. Accordingly, the Company has, based on the above approval, bought back 20 lakh equity shares at an average rate of Rs.253.36 per equity share, resulting in total cash outflow of Rs.5187.46 lakhs (including transaction costs and buyback related expenses of Rs.120.21 lakhs). The Company has utilised an amount of Rs.4987.46 lakhs from the Securities Premium in accordance with the requirements of section 52 of the Act. The tax outgo on account of the buy-back amounts to Rs.1133.87 lakhs which has been adjusted from Securities Premium. The shares so bought back were fully extinguished by 24 March 2021. 5) The Company‘s operations were impacted during the first quarter of the financial year 2020-21, following the nationwide lockdown imposed by the Government of India during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has since resumed operations, taking all due care for the health and safety of its employees. The Company has thereafter evaluated the impact of this pandemic on its business operations, financial position and, based on its review of current indicators, there is no significant impact on the Company‘s assets, capital and financial resources and liquidity position for the year ended 31 March 2021. The profitability for the year was impacted during the first quarter of the financial year due to sub optimal operations on account of the lockdown. However, the assessment of impact of COVID-19 pendemic is a continuous process, given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The financial implications are contingent on the various business parameters which may emerge from time to time and the Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes from those estimated as on the date of adoption of these Financial Results.
