The Company is dedicated to the supply of products, services and solutions that meet and exceed the needs of its end-users under the broad gamut of âLife enhancement of industrial componentsâ.
The Company is a public limited company [CIN: L31909KA1974PLC020010] domiciled in India and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The registered and corporate office of the Company is located at Belview 7 Haudin Road Bengaluru 560 042.
The financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on May 29, 2018.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
(i) Compliance with IND-AS
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the âActâ) and other applicable Enactments, Rules and Regulations.
The financial statements up to and for the year ended March 31, 2017 were prepared in accordance with accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Act (Indian GAAP/Previous GAAP).
These are the first set of financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with Ind-AS and the âFirst-time Adoption of Indian Accounting Standardsâ as per Ind -AS-101 has been applied. Kindly refer to detailed explanation note on how the transition from Indian GAAP to Ind-AS, has effected the Companyâs financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost and accrual basis, except for certain financial assets & liabilities and defined benefit plan assets & liabilities, that are measured at fair value.
(ii) Use of estimates and critical accounting judgements
The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with Ind-AS which requires the Management to make estimates, assumptions and exercise judgements in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year.
The Management believes that these estimates are prudent, reasonable and are based upon the Managementâs best knowledge of current events and actions. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known or materialised.
This note along with the next provides an overview of areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity and of items adjusted or which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed/estimated.
(iii) Basis of measurements
The Ind-AS financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost convention and on an accrual method of accounting, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value as described below and defined benefit plans which have been measured at actuarial valuation as required by relevant Ind-AS.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each Balance Sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using assumptions that market participants would use their economic best interest, when pricing the asset or liability.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial-asset takes in to account a market participantâs ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset to its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset to its highest and best use.
Fair value for measurement and/or for disclosure purpose in these financial statements is determined on the above basis, except for share based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind-AS-102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind-AS-17 and measurements that have some similarities to fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind-AS-2 or value in use in Ind-AS-36.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of fair value hierarchy as explained above.
MEASUREMENT OF DEBT INSTRUMENTS
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Companyâs business model for managing the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss, when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assetâs cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the profit and loss account. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is re-classified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and presented in the statement of profit and loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY
These Ind-AS financial statements are prepared in Indian Rupees which is the Companyâs functional currency and presented in lakhs.

Hence, it is deemed that there are no amounts outstanding in respect of such entities to be categorised under âMSMEâ in the books of accounts.
Notes:
- FVTPL - Fair value through profit and loss.
- (a) Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Judgements and estimates are made in determining fair values of financial instruments. They are broadly classified in to
(i) recognised and measured at fair value and
(ii) measured at amortised cost, for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments in to three levels prescribed under the Accounting Standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. For example: Listed equity instruments that have quoted market price.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (For example: traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) are 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.
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.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and bank balances, other bank balances, non-current loans, current loans, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are considered to be approximately equal to their fair values.
Note 2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Companyâs principal financial liabilities comprise deposits, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companyâs operations. The Companyâs principal financial assets include current loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTPL investments in mutual funds.
The Company is exposed to credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs senior management oversees the management of these risks.
(i) Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily in respect of trade receivables) and from its financing activities (deposits with banks and other financial instruments).
Credit risk management
To manage credit risk, the Company follows a policy of providing 30-180 days credit to its domestic customers based on the nature of the customers. The credit limit policy is established considering the current economic trends of the industry in which the Company is operating.
However, trade receivables are monitored on a periodic basis for assessing any significant risk of non-recoverability of dues and provision is created accordingly.
Bank balances are held with only high rated banks and majority of other security deposits are placed majorly with Governmental agencies/public sector undertakings.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities â trade payables and other financial liabilities.
Liquidity risk management
The Companyâs management is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as settlement. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Companyâs net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
(iii) Market risk
(A) FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on their receivables, payables which are held in USD, EUR and SEK.
The fluctuation in the exchange rate of INR relative to USD, EUR and SEK may have a material impact on the Company''s assets and liabilities.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT
In respect of the foreign currency transactions, the Company does not hedge the exposures since the Management believes that the same is insignificant in nature and also that it will offset to some extent, the corresponding receivables and payables. The Company''s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of reporting period are as under:
SENSITIVITY TO FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to USD, EURO and SEK with all other variables held constant. The below impact on the Company''s profit before tax is based on changes in the fair value of unhedged foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities as at date of the Balance Sheet.
(B) PRICE RISK
The Company is exposed to price risk from its investment in mutual fund classified in the balance sheet at fair value through profit and loss.
To manage its price risk arising from the investment, the Company has invested in the mutual fund after considering the risk and return profile of the mutual funds i.e. the debt profile of the mutual fund indicates that the debt has been given to credit worthy banks and other institutional parties and equity investment is made after considering the performance of the stock. However, the entity being risk averse has opted to invest its substantial funds in debt oriented mutual funds.
Note 3 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
(i) Risk management
The Companyâs objectives when managing capital are to:
- Safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns to its shareholders and also benefit other stakeholders and
- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce its cost of capital.
Apart from trade payables and other current liabilities, there is no debt on the Company. Therefore, the Company manages its capital and return to shareholders by adequately investing in mutual funds and adjusting the amount of dividend paid to the Shareholders.
(iii) General reserve
In terms of the proviso to Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Board has elected to transfer an amount of rupees one crore to the General reserve for the financial year 2017-18, being the same as in the previous year.

Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis
of accounting and evaluated on a going concern basis, with revenues
recognised and expenses accounted for on their accrual to comply in all
material aspects with the applicable Accounting Principles and
applicable Accounting Standards notified u/s. 211 (3C) of the Companies
Act, 1956, other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and the
guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and
assumptions to be made that affect the reported balances of assets and
liabilities as on the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. All the
assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non current
as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out
in Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. Accounting estimates could
change from period to period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as and when the
Management becomes aware of the changes in the circumstances
surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the
financial statements in the period in which the changes are made and if
material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements. The following significant accounting policies have been
adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements:
2.1 Disclosure under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development
Act, 2006
The Company has not received any information from its vendors regarding
their status under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act,
2006. Nonetheless, there are no amounts outstanding for a period beyond

Enterprises Development Act, 2006.

and hence no further liability accrues to the Company on this account

2.4 Defined benefit obligation
Leave encashment:
Cumulative defined benefit obligation of compensated absences
(unfunded) amounts to Rs.536/- lakhs (Rupees five hundred and thirty six
lakhs) as per actuarial valuation. The same has been provided for in
the books of account.
2.5 Segment reporting
(a) Segment policies
Revenues and identifiable operating expenses in relation to the
segments are categorised based on items that are individually
identifiable to that segment. In cases, where the management believes
it is not practical to provide disclosure relating to some expenses,
then these expenses are separately disclosed as Âunallocated'' and
adjusted against the total income of the Company. The accounting
policies adopted for segment reporting are in line with accounting
policies adopted by the Company for the purpose of financial
statements.
(b) Business segments
For Management reporting purpose, the Company is organised in to two

which they are stated in the Balance Sheet.
2.8 Transfer pricing
A comprehensive system of maintenance of information and documents is
required by the transfer pricing legislation under sections 92-92F of
the Income-tax Act, 1961. Since the law requires existence of such
information and documentation to be contemporaneous in nature, the
Company is in the process of documentation of international
transactions entered in to with associate enterprises during the
financial year and expects such records to be in existence at the time
of filing of the income-tax return. Management is of the opinion that
its international transactions are at arm''s length so that the
aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial
statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of
provision for tax.

prepared as per the then-applicable pre-revised Schedule of the
