Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an
outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation such as product warranty costs. 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of
which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

1.12 Operating lease including Investment Properties
As a Lessor

The company has leased out its assets and such leases where the company has substantially retained all the risks and
rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Lease income on such operating leases are recognised in the
statement of profit & loss on a straight line basis over the lease term in a manner which is representative of the time
pattern in which benefit derived from the use of the leased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs are recognised as an
expense in the statement of profit & loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Under operating lease, the asset is capitalised within property plant & equipment and depreciated over its useful economic
life. Therefore, Ind AS 116 does not have an impact for leases where the company is the lessor.

As a Lessee

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option
to extend or terminate the lease. The Company''s lease asset primarily consists of Building. The company assesses
whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of 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 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.

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 lease contract for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets). For these short-term, the
Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of the lease liability
adjusted plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.The lease liability is initially
measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate of
cost of capital. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the
lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

1.13 Government Grants

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that

(i) the company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and (ii) the grant/subsidy will be received.

When the grant or subsidy relates to revenue, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and
loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate. Where the
grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income and transfer to income in equal amounts over the expected
useful life of the related asset.

Where the company receives non-monetary grants, the asset is accounted for on the basis of its acquisition cost. In case a
non-monetary asset is given free of cost, it is recognized at a nominal value.

1.14 Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion
of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

1.15 Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, balance
with banks.

1.16 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include salaries, wages, contribution to provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment towards un-availed
leave, compensated absences, and other terminal benefits.

(i) Gratuity

Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the
same under Cash Accumulation Policy and Debt fund of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). However, any deficit
in plan assets managed by LIC as compared to the liability based on an independent actuarial valuation is recognised as a
liability.

The liability or asset recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit 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. The defined benefit obligation
is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method in conformity with the principles and manner of
computation specified in Ind AS 19.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in
net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on
the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to
retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.

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.

(ii) Provident fund contributions are made to Company''s Provident Fund . The contributions are accounted for as defined
benefit plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

(iii) Defined contribution to superannuation fund is being made as per the scheme of the Company and recognised as expense
as and when due.

1.17 Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the
Company''s earnings per share is the net profit for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the period and all periods presented is adjusted for events, such as bonus shares, other than the conversion of
potential equity shares, that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of share outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of
all dilutive and anti-dilutive potential equity shares.

1.18 Segment Reporting

The company is engaged mainly in the business of automobile products. These, in the context of Indian Accounting
Standard 108 on Operating Segment, as speci ed in the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, are
considered to constitute one single primary segment. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the Core Management Committee which includes the Managing Director who is the Chief
Operating Decision Maker.

1.19 Borrowing Cost

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of
borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an
adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

Note 2: Investment Property

Under the previous GAAP, investment properties were presented as part of Fixed Assets. under Ind AS, investment properties are required to be separately presented on the face of the Balance Sheet. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.

Note 3: Proposed dividend and tax thereon

Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the Balance Sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend and tax thereon was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend and tax thereon, included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.

Note 4: Excise duty

Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented inclusive of excise duty. under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty for the first quarter. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the Statement of Profit and Loss as part of expenses. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.

Note 5: Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year. There is no impact on the total equity.

Note 6 : Unpaid Dividend & Expense Payable

Under Indian GAAP these are presented as current liabilities but under Ind AS these are presented as other Financial liabilities so, there is no impact on the total equity and profit.

Note 7 : Deferred Tax Liability

Under Indian GAAP, deferred tax accounting was done using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under Indian GAAP. According to the accounting policies, the Company has to account for such differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in retained earnings on the date of transition.

Note 8 : Provision for expected credit loss

Under Ind AS provision for expected credit loss on financial assets which measured at amortized cost is required to be made but there is no provision in Indian GAAP for this so, as per Ind AS 101 provision for ECL is recognized and corresponding effect is recognized in retained earnings.

Note 9 : Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the Statement of Profit and Loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist in Indian GAAP.

Note :

1 On transition to Ind AS, the company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its property, plant and equipments recognized as at April 01, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP, which in case of the company, corresponds with carrying costs measured in accordance with Ind AS - 16 property, plant and equipments. as on date of transition gross block and accumulated depreciation was Rs.12,394.51 Lacs. and Rs. 3,971.36 Lacs.

2 As per Ind AS - 40 ''Investment Property'' assets which is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both is treated as investment property. During the year certain lease agreement for rental of building is modified with reduction in floor area so, certain Investment property amounting Rs. 44.61 Lacs. is transferred to Property Plant & Equipments.

Note : Investment property has been carried at the cost less accumulated depreciation as at April 01, 2016, as the cost and depreciation determined under the previous GAAP, in case of the company, is in line with the principles of Ind AS 40.

(v) Estimation of fair value

The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Since investment properties leased out by the Company are cancellable, the market rate for sale/purchase of such premises are representative of fair values. Company''s investment properties are at a location where active market is available for similar kind of properties. Hence fair value is ascertained on the basis of market rates prevailing for similar properties in those location determined by an independent registered valuer and consequently classified as a level 2 valuation.

(c) Terms/Rights attached to Equity Shares

The company has only one class of equity shares having a value of Rs. 5/- per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share.

The company declares and pays dividend in Indian Rupees. Interim Dividend declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the company during the year is Rs.2.75/- per equity share of Rs. 5 each. Final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing General Meeting of Rs 2.50/- Per Share. (March 31, 2017 : Rs.4.25 per equity share of Rs.5 each).

In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

Note - 10Employee Benefits

(a) Gratuity

Payment for present liability of future payment of gratuity is being made to approved gratuity fund, which fully covers the same under Cash Accumulation Policy of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). However, any deficit in plan assets managed by LIC as compared to the liability on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation is recognized as a liability.

The liability or asset recognized in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit 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. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method in conformity with the principles and manner of computation specified in Ind AS 19.

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.

Sensitivity Analysis

The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

(b) Provident Fund

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the Balance Sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the Balance Sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash

(ii) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair value of the financial instruments that are (a) recognized and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortized cost and 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 into the three levels prescribed the Indian Accounting Standards. Explanation of each level as follows :

Level - 1 Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. This includes mutual funds & listed Equity shares that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV.

Level - 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example trade bond, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation technique which maximize 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.

Valuation Techniques used to determine fair value :

Opened ended Mutual funds are valued at closing NAV''s declared by its Assets Management Companies .

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities measured at amortized cost:

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payable, other financial assets/liabilities, loans and cash & cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values.

The company''s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk.

The Board provides guiding principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk and investment of surplus liquidity. The Company’s risk management is carried out by a finance department as per the policies approved by the Board of Directors.

Credit Risk :

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables.

Credit Risk Management

For other financial assets the Company has an investment policy which allows the Company to invest only with counterparties having credit rating equal to or above AA and P1 . The company reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties on an ongoing basis. Another source of credit risk at the reporting date is from trade receivables as these are typically unsecured. This credit risk has always been managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to whom credit is extended in the normal course of business. The Company estimates the expected credit loss on the basis of past data and experience. Expected credit losses of financial assets receivable in the next 12 months are estimated on the basis of historical data provided the Company has reasonable and supportable data. On such an assessment the expected losses are nil or negligible, as evidenced in the table below, and hence no further provision than that already made is considered necessary.

- Credit Insurance Policy

During the year company has taken credit insurance policy for covering default risk from trade receivable which reduces default risk at reasonable level.

Review of outstanding trade receivables and financial assets is carried out by Management at every month end. Company has a practice to provide for doubtful debts on a case to case basis after considering inter-alia customer''s credibility etc. Provision is made in the books if they are considered to be doubtful.

- Liquidity Risk:

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash flows that are generated from operations. The Company has no outstanding term borrowings. The Company believes that its working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Additionally, the Company has sizeable surplus funds invested in fixed income securities or instruments of similar profile ensuring safety of capital and availability of liquidity if and when required. Hence the Company does not perceive any liquidity risk.

Market Risk:

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company operates, in addition to domestic markets, significantly in international markets through its exports and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US$. Foreign exchange risk arises from highly probable forecast transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency (INR).

Note - 11 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA") through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 has notified the following new and amendments to Ind ASs which the Company has not applied as they are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018:

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 21 The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

Ind AS 115 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 115 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard Ind AS 18 - Revenue, Ind AS 11 - Construction Contracts when it becomes effective.

The core principle of Ind AS 115 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition :-

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligation in contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

The Company has completed its evaluation of the possible impact of Ind AS 115 and will adopt the standard with all related amendments to all contracts with customers retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. Under this transition method, cumulative effect of initially applying Ind AS 115 is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the annual reporting period. The standard is applied retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed contracts at the date of initial application. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be material on its retained earnings and to its net income on an ongoing basis.

Ind AS 21 — The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

The amendment clarifies on the accounting of transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The appendix explains that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. Company is evaluating the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
