Note 1 : Company Overview
Automotive Stampings and Assemblies Limited (âthe Company'') is engaged in the business of manufacturing sheet metal stampings, welded assemblies and modules for the automotive industry. The Company primarily operates in India. The equity shares of the Company are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The Company''s Registered office is situated at - âTACO House, Plot No- 20/B FPN085, V.G. Damle Path, Off Law College Road, Erandwane, Pune: 411004, Maharashtra, India''.
Note 2 : Standards issued but not yet effective:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ), through Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, has notified the following new and amendments to Ind ASs which the Company has not applied as they are effective from 01 April 2019:
Ind AS - 116 - Leases
Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases standard, Ind AS 17 Leases. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lessee accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 April 19. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this amendment on the financial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income taxes (amendments relating to income tax consequences of dividend and uncertainty over income tax treatments)
The amendment relating to income tax consequences of dividend clarify that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The Company does not expect any impact from this pronouncement. It is relevant to note that the amendment does not amend situations where the entity pays a tax on dividend which is effectively a portion of dividends paid to taxation authorities on behalf of shareholders. Such amount paid or payable to taxation authorities continues to be charged to equity as part of dividend, in accordance with Ind AS 12.
The amendment to Appendix C of Ind AS 12 specifies that the amendment is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. It outlines the following: (1) the entity has to use judgement, to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered separately or whether some can be considered together. The decision should be based on the approach which provides better predictions of the resolution of the uncertainty (2) the entity is to assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all relevant information while examining any amount (3) entity has to consider the probability of the relevant taxation authority accepting the tax treatment and the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates would depend upon the probability. The Company does not expect any significant impact of the amendment on its financial statements.
Ind AS 109 - Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
The amendments relate to the existing requirements in Ind AS 109 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortized cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of negative compensation payments. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any impact on its financial statements.
Ind AS 19 - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
The amendments clarify that if a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the re-measurement are determined using the assumptions used for the re-measurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact on its financial statements.
Ind AS 23 - Borrowing Costs
The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings. The Company does not expect any impact from this amendment.
Ind AS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
The amendments clarify that an entity applies Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. The Company does not currently have any long-term interests in associates and joint ventures and hence does not expect any impact from this amendment.
Ind AS 103 - Business Combinations and Ind AS 111 - Joint Arrangements
The amendments to Ind AS 103 relating to re-measurement clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it re-measures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to Ind AS 111 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not re-measure previously held interests in that business. The Company does not have control / joint control / joint control of a business that is a joint operation and hence does not expect any impact from this amendment.
Note 3 : Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures.
These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgments or complexities and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these judgments, estimates and assumptions is mentioned below. These Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated.
Significant Judgments
4.1 Contingent liabilities
The Company has received various orders and notices from tax and other judicial authorities in respect of direct taxes, indirect taxes and labour matters. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and makes provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expense to resolve the matters. In their assessments management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss.
4.2 Classification of Leasehold Land
The Company has entered into lease agreement for land at two of its facilities. The lease period is of around 79-90 years in respect of these premises and the agreements have renewal options. These lands are situated in industrial estates, where the land is generally transferred through lease contracts and the upfront lease payment amounts are significantly equal to the fair value of land. Accordingly, significant risk and rewards associated with the land are considered to be transferred to the lessee. Based on these considerations and overall evaluation of the agreements with the lessor, the management believes that these lease contracts meet the conditions of finance lease.
4.3 Determination of cash generating unit (CGU) for Impairment analysis
As part of its impairment assessment for non-financial assets (i.e. property, plant and equipment), the management needs to identify Cash Generating Units i.e. lowest group of assets that generate cash flows which are independent of those from other assets. Considering the nature of its assets, operations and administrative structure, the management has defined all assets put together as a single Cash Generating Unit.
4.4 Going Concern assumptions
The Company has incurred significant losses of INR 1,264.04 lakhs for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 and the Companyâs total liabilities exceeded its total assets by INR 4,155.07 lakhs as at March 31, 2019.
The Companyâs management has carried out an assessment of the Companyâs financial performance and expects it to continue its operations and meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Based on the followings considerations, the Management of the Company are of the opinion that the preparation of the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis is appropriate;
1. Support letter from the Holding Company.
2. Financial support from the Holding Company and other Group Companies to meet its short-term liabilities.
3. Expected increase in revenue based on orders in hand from current and upcoming projects of existing customers.
4. Robust business plans for the above expected increase in revenue.
4.5 Segment Reporting
Ind AS 108 Operating Segments requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. Operating segments are defined as âBusiness Unitsâ of the Company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decisionmaker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company operates in the automotive segment. The automotive segment includes all activities relating to development, design, manufacture, assembly and sale of auto component parts from which the Company derives its revenues. The management considers that these business units have similar economic characteristics like the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes and nature of the regulatory environment etc. Based on the management analysis, the Company has only one operating segment, so no separate segment report is given. The principal geographical areas in which the Company operates are India and other countries.
Significant estimates and assumptions
4.6 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment : Key assumptions used
The management has assessed current and forecasted financial performance of the Company and the current market value of the assets to determine whether carrying value of property, plant and equipment has suffered any impairment. Impairment assessment is based on estimates of future financial performance or opinions that may represent reasonable expectations at a particular point of time . Such information, estimates or opinions are not offered as predictions or as assurances that a particular level of income or profit will be achieved, that events will occur, or that a particular price will be offered or accepted. Actual results achieved during the period covered by the prospective financial analysis will vary and the variations may be material.
4.7 Claims payables & receivable to customers
Price increase or decrease due to change in major raw material cost, pending acknowledgement from major customers, is accrued on estimated basis. Also the Company has made accruals in respect of unsettled prices for some of its other material purchase contracts, finished goods and scrap sales contracts. These accruals are made considering the past settlement arrangements with the vendors and customers respectively and the applicable metal prices from published sources. Actual results of these considerations may vary and the variations may be material.
Further, the management has assessed and believes that the timing of cash outflow pertaining to this accruals are uncertain and hence considered the same as payable on demand and classified under current liabilities.
4.8 Defined benefit plan
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, other retirement benefits, the present value of the gratuity obligation and other retirement benefit obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) Ultimate. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 43.
4.9 Fair valuation of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques . The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
4.10 Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed under Note 32 are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
b. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress as at March 31, 2019 amounts to Rs. 362.72 Lakhs comprising majorly of addition to plant & machinery and factory building at Chakan and Pantnagar plant for upcoming projects and capacity expansions respectively, while that as at March 31, 2018 amounts to Rs. 22.23 Lakhs comprising majorly of addition to factory building at Chakan plant (weld shop division) for capacity expansion.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers and claims payable to customers, for which revenue is recognised as and when control in promised goods is transferred.
Significant changes in the contract liability balances during the year ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
c) Performance obligations
The Company satisfies its performance obligations pertaining to the sale of auto components at point in time when the control of goods is actually transferred to the customers. No significant judgment is involved in evaluating when a customer obtains control of promised goods. The contract is a fixed price contract and do not contain any financing component. The payment is generally due within 30-90 days. There are no other significant obligations attached in the contract with customer.
d) Transaction price
There is no remaining performance obligation for any contract for which revenue has been recognised till period end. Further, the Company has not applied the practical expedient as specified in para 121 of Ind AS 115 as the Company do not have any performance obligations that has an original expected duration of one year or less or any revenue stream in which consideration from a customer corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company''s performance completed to date.
e) Determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations
There is no significant judgements involved in ascertaining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, in evaluating when a customer obtains control of promised goods, transaction price and allocation of it to the performance obligations.
f) Determining the transaction price and the amounts
The transaction price ascertained for the only performance obligation of the Company (i.e. Sale of goods) is agreed in the contract with the customer. There is no variable consideration involved in the transaction price except for refund due to shortages which is adjusted with revenue.
g) Cost to obtain contract or fulfil a contract
There is no cost incurred for obtaining or fulfilling a contract and there is no closing assets recognised from the costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.
Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values 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 under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques 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.
The carrying amount of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalent, other current financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The Company has availed long term borrowings from banks, financial institutions and holding Company carrying interest in the range of 9.50% to 16.60%. The Company has determined the fair value of these loans based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. The carrying values approximates their respective fair values. Similarly the fair value of non-current financial assets also approximates its carrying value.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include
Fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates as at the balance sheet date
Fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
Valuation processes
For valuation of financial assets and liabilities, the finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team on regular basis.
Note 5 : Financial risk management
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, the Company has a risk management policy which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as credit risks, liquidity risk etc. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
(A) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Companyâs liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet this.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the Companyâs financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non-derivative financial liabilities, and
- net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.
(B) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the, foreign currency exchange rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has fixed rate borrowing and variable rate borrowings. The fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
The exposure of the borrowings (long term and short term (excluding factored receivables)) to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:-
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company imports includes raw materials and capital goods. As a result of this the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Company''s functional currency (''). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Company''s risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 70% of forecasted foreign currency transactions for the subsequent 6 months. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the '' cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity for above net exposure to foreign currency for all liabilities does not have a material impact to profit and loss
(C) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness. For the Company , credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, other balances and deposits with bank and financial institutions and trade receivables.
Credit risk management
For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:
- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty ability to meet its obligations.
- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.
- significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 90 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
None of the Company''s cash equivalents, including time deposits with banks, are past due or impaired. Regarding trade receivables and other receivables, and other financial assets that are neither impaired nor past due, there were no indications as at March 31, 2019, that defaults in payment obligations will occur.
The Company follows 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date) model for recognition of impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost other than trade receivables. The Company follows lifetime expected credit loss model (simplified approach) for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables.
The ageing of trade receivable as on balance sheet date is given below. The age analysis has been considered from the due date.
Note 6 : Capital Management
(a) Risk management
The Company''s objectives when managing capital are to:-
- Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans, long-term product and maintaining other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, long term borrowings and short-term borrowings. The Company''s policy is aimed at maintaining optimum combination of short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company manages its capital structure and make adjustments considering the economic environment, the maturity profile of the overall debt of the Company and the requirement of the financial covenants.
Loan Covenants
With respect to borrowing availed by the Company from Tata Capital Financial Services Limited, the Company is required to comply with following financial covenant:
- Total outside liabilities as a percentage of total net worth should not exceed 10.40 times.

The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognized funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
The above sensitivity analysis 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 may 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 while calculating the defined benefit liability recognized in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
* The Company maintains gratuity fund, which is being administered by LIC. Fund value confirmed by LIC as at March 31, 2019 is considered to be the fair value.
Contribution expected to be paid to the plan during the next financial year Rs. 2.70 lakhs (March 31, 2018 Rs. 4.97 lakhs).
(C) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below :
1. Interest rate risk:
The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
2. Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
3. Demographic risk:
For example, as the plan is open to new entrants, an increase in membership will increase the defined benefit obligation. Also, the plan only provides benefits upon completion of a vesting criteria. Therefore, if turnover rates increase then the liability will tend to fall as fewer employees reach vesting period.

The Companyâs Registered office is at - G-71/2, MIDC Industrial Area, Bhosari, Pune - 411 026, Maharashtra, India.
Note 2 : Standards issued but not yet effective:
Standards issued but not yet effective upto the date of issuance of the Companyâs financial statements are listed below. The listing of standards issued, which the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Company intends to adopt those standards when they become effective.
Amendment to Ind AS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
On 28 March 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the spot exchange rate to be used on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from 1 April 2018. The Company has evaluated the effect of this on the financial statements and the impact is not material.
Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contract with Customers
Ind AS 115, establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue should be recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including Ind AS 18 Revenue, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Guidance Note on Accounting for Real Estate Transactions. Ind AS 115 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018 and will be applied accordingly.
The Company have preliminary assessed that the profit impact of Ind AS 115 will be immaterial to the financial statements. The Company is still in the process of assessing the full impact of the application of IND AS 115 on the Companyâs financial statements, including on additional disclosures required.
Note 3 : Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Companyâs financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and the accompanying disclosures.
These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgments or complexities and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these judgments, estimates and assumptions is mentioned below. These Judgments, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated.
Significant Judgments
3.1 Contingent liabilities
The Company has received various orders and notices from tax and other judicial authorities in respect of direct taxes, indirect taxes and labour matters. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and makes provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expense to resolve the matters. In their assessments management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss.
3.2 Classification of Leasehold Land
The Company has entered into lease agreement for land at two of its facilities. The lease period is of around 79-90 years in respect of these premises and the agreements have renewal options. These lands are situated in industrial estates, where the land is generally transferred through lease contracts and the upfront lease payment amounts are significantly equal to the fair value of land. Accordingly, significant risk and rewards associated with the land are considered to be transferred to the lessee. Based on these considerations and overall evaluation of the agreements with the lessor, the management believes that these lease contracts meet the conditions of finance lease.
3.3 Determination of cash generating unit (CGU) for Impairment analysis
As part of its impairment assessment for non-financial assets (i.e. property, plant and equipment), the management needs to identify Cash Generating Units i.e. lowest group of assets that generate cash flows which are independent of those from other assets. Considering the nature of its assets, operations and administrative structure, the management has defined all assets put together as a single Cash Generating Unit.
3.4 Going Concern assumptions
The Company has incurred significant losses of Rs. 4,647.91 lakhs for the financial year ended March 31, 2018 and the Companyâs total liabilities exceeded its total assets by Rs.2,891.04 Lakh as at March 31, 2018.
The Companyâs management has carried out an assessment of the Companyâs financial performance and expects it to continue its operations and meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. Based on the followings considerations, the Management of the Company are of the opinion that the preparation of the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis is appropriate;
1. Support letter from the Holding Company
2. Financial support from the Holding Company and other Group Companies to meet its short-term liabilities.
3. Expected increase in revenue based on orders in hand from current and upcoming projects of existing customers.
4. Robust business plans for the above expected increase in revenue.
3.5 Segment Reporting
Ind AS 108 Operating Segments requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. Operating segments are defined as âBusiness Unitsâ of the Company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company operates in the automotive segment. The automotive segment includes all activities relating to development, design, manufacture, assembly and sale of auto component parts from which the Company derives its revenues. The management considers that these business units have similar economic characteristics like the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes and nature of the regulatory environment etc. Based on the management analysis, the Company has only one operating segment, so no separate segment report is given. The principal geographical areas in which the Company operates are India and other countries.
Significant estimates and assumptions
3.6 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment : Key assumptions used
The management has assessed current and forecasted financial performance of the Company and the current market value of the assets to determine whether carrying value of property, plant and equipment has suffered any impairment. Impairment assessment is based on estimates of future financial performance or opinions that may represent reasonable expectations at a particular point of time . Such information, estimates or opinions are not offered as predictions or as assurances that a particular level of income or profit will be achieved, that events will occur, or that a particular price will be offered or accepted. Actual results achieved during the period covered by the prospective financial analysis will vary and the variations may be material.
3.7 Claims payables & receivable to customers
Price increase or decrease due to change in major raw material cost, pending acknowledgement from major customers, is accrued on estimated basis. Also the Company has made accruals in respect of unsettled prices for some of its other material purchase contracts, finished goods and scrap sales contracts. These accruals are made considering the past settlement arrangements with the vendors and customers respectively and the applicable metal prices from published sources. Actual results of these considerations may vary and the variations may be material.
Further, the management has assessed and believes that the timing of cash outflow pertaining to this accruals are uncertain and hence considered the same as payable on demand and classified under current liabilities.
3.8 Defined benefit plan
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, other retirement benefits, the present value of the gratuity obligation and other retirement benefit obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) Ultimate. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 45.
3.9 Fair valuation of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
3.10 Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed under Note 32 are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Companyâs past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
b. Capital work-in-progress
Capital work-in-progress as at March 31, 2018 amounts to Rs.22.23 Lakhs comprising majorly of addition to factory building at chakan plant (weld shop division) for capacity expansion, while that as at March 31, 2017 amounts to Rs.306.08 Lakhs comprising majorly of plant and machinery for upcoming projects.
c. Notes
(i) For Property, plant and equipment pledges as securities refer note 46. For contractual commitments towards acquisition of property plant and equipmentâs refer note 37 (a)
(ii) There are no future minimum lease payments in respect of these leasehold land. The lease terms generally expires within period of 79-95 years and as per the lease agreement, the lease term for one of the leasehold facility can be renewed for a further period of 95 years subject to other terms and conditions and for other leasehold facility the renewal will be mutually decided at the time of completion of lease period.
* Write-downs of inventories to net realizable value amounted to Rs.2.10 Lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs.6.98 Lakhs). These were recognized as an expense during the year and included in ''changes in value of inventories of finished goods work-in-progress and stock-in-trade â in the statement of profit and loss.
The Companyâs exposure to credit and loss allowances related to trade receivables are disclosed in note 32
Transferred receivables
The carrying amount of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to factoring / discounting arrangement of Rs. Nil (March 31, 2017 : Rs.2,054.44 Lakh). Under these arrangements, the Company has transferred the relevant receivables to the bank in exchange for cash and is prevented from selling or pledging the receivables. However, the Company has retained late payment and credit risk. The Company therefore continues to recognize the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under these agreement is presented as secured borrowing in note 19
(d) Terms and rights attached to equity shares:
The equity shares have a par value of Rs.10. They entitle the holder to participate in dividends, and to share in the proceeds of winding up the Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the share held. Every holder of equity shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

3. Loan from related party is secured by first and exclusive hypothecation of plant and machinery (except for specific presses) of Pantnagar plant of the Company.
4. Interest rates on the above loans range between 8.60% p.a. to 10.50% p.a.
Fair value hierarchy
This Section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values 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 under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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.
Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The carrying amount of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, bank balances other than cash and cash equivalent, other current financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The Company has availed long term borrowings from banks, financial institutions and holding Company carrying interest in the range of 9.50% to 10.50%. The Company has determined the fair value of these loans based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. The carrying values approximates their respective fair values. Similarly the fair value of non-current financial assets also approximates its carrying value.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include
Fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates as at the balance sheet date
Fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
Valuation processes
For valuation of financial assets and liabilities, the finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team on regular basis.
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, the Company has a risk management policy which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as credit risks, liquidity risk etc. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
(A) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Companyâs liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet this.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the Companyâs financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non-derivative financial liabilities, and
- net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.
(B) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the, foreign currency exchange rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Company has fixed rate borrowing and variable rate borrowings. The fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Sensitivity
Loss is sensitive to change in interest expenses from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company imports includes raw materials and capital goods. As a result of this the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Companyâs functional currency (''). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.
The Companyâs risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 70% of forecasted foreign currency transactions for the subsequent 6 months. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the '' cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity for above net exposure to foreign currency for all liabilities does not have a material impact to profit and loss
(C) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness. For the Company , credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, other balances and deposits with bank and financial institutions and trade receivables.
Credit risk management
For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:
- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty ability to meet its obligations.
- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty.
- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.
- significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements.
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 90 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
None of the Companyâs cash equivalents, including time deposits with banks, are past due or impaired. Regarding trade receivables and other receivables, and other financial assets that are neither impaired nor past due, there were no indications as at March 31, 2018, that defaults in payment obligations will occur.
The Company follows 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date) model for recognition of impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost other than trade receivables. The Company follows lifetime expected credit loss model (simplified approach) for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables.
The ageing of trade receivable as on balance sheet date is given below. The age analysis has been considered from the due date.
(a) Risk management
The Companyâs objectives when managing capital are to:-
- Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans, long-term product and maintaining other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, long term borrowings and short-term borrowings. The Companyâs policy is aimed at maintaining optimum combination of short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company manages its capital structure and make adjustments considering the economic environment, the maturity profile of the overall debt of the Company and the requirement of the financial covenants.
Loan Covenants
With respect to borrowing availed by the Company from Tata Capital Financial Services Limited, the Company is required to comply with following financial covenant:
- Total outside liabilities as a percentage of total net worth should not exceed 10.40 times.
- Total long term debt as a percentage of total tangible net worth should not exceed 3 times.
As at 31 March 2018, the Company had breached the above covenant which has been waived by the said financial institution. However as at 31 March 2017, the Company has met the above requirement.
Note 4 : Segment Information
Ind AS 108 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments and related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major customer. The Company is engaged mainly in the business of manufacturing and trading of automobile components, design and engineering services. Based on the âmanagement approachâ as defined in Ind AS 108, the ''Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) considers entire business as single operating segment. The Companyâs operating divisions are managed from India. The principal geographical areas in which the Company operates are India.
Notes:-
a) The closing balances above are net of advances.
b) All outstanding balances are unsecured and are repayable in cash.
c) For borrowing terms and conditions refer note 17
* In addition to the above related party transactions Tata AutoComp Systems Limited (Holding Company) has provided a Letter of Comfort of Rs.NIL lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs.500 lakhs) to State Bank of India with respect to credit facilities availed by the Company.
d) As post employment obligations and other long-term employee benefits obligations are computed for all employees in aggregate, the amounts relating to key management personnel cannot be individually computed and hence are not included in the above.
(b) Operating lease
The Company has entered into an agreement with Tata Capital Financial Services Limited for certain plant and machinery. The same has been classified as operating lease. These arrangements range for the period of 48 months, which includes both cancellable and non cancellable period.
Note 5 : Movements in provisions
Provision for warranty:- Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale of components to which the warranty provisions are applicable. It is expected that the majority of the warranty provision outstanding as at March 31, 2018 is likely to result in cash outflow within 18 months of the Balance Sheet date. The details of warranty provision are as follows:
The above information has been determined to the extent such parties have been identified on the basis of information available with the Company and relied upon by auditors.
Note 6 : Corporate social responsibility
The Company does not meet the criteria specified in sub section (1) of Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Companies [Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)] Rules, 2014. Therefore it is not required to incur any expenditure on account of CSR activities during the year.
Note 7 : Income Tax
The Company does not have taxable income in current and previous year and hence no tax expenses have been recognized. Further since it is not probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize the deferred tax assets in respect of following unused tax losses and unabsorbed depreciation, no deferred tax assets have been recognized.
During the year ended March 2017 , the Company has received a one time compensation of Rs.1,284 Lakhs towards settlement of its claims.
Note 8 : Details of Specified Bank Notes (âSBNâ) held and transacted during the period 08 November 2016 to 30 December 2016 (in accordance with the notification issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs G.S.R. 308 (E ) dated 30th March 2017)
The above disclosure regarding holdings as well as dealings in specified bank notes during the period from 8 November 2016 to 30 December 2016 have not been made since they do not pertain to the financial year ended 31 March 2018. However amounts as appearing in the audited Ind AS financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2017 have been disclosed.
Specified bank note (SBNs) means the bank notes of denominations of the existing series of the value of five hundred rupees and one thousand rupees as defined under the notification of the Government of India, in the ministry of finance, Department of Economic affairs no. S.O. 3407(E), dated November 08, 2016.
Note 9 : Employee Benefits
(A) Defined benefit plans a) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognized funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
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 may 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 recognized in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
* The Company maintains gratuity fund, which is being administered by LIC. Fund value confirmed by LIC as at March 31, 2018 is considered to be the fair value.
Contribution expected to be paid to the plan during the next financial year Rs.4.97 lakhs (March 31, 2017 Rs.4.34 lakhs).
(C) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below :
1. Interest rate risk:
The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
2. Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
3. Demographic risk:
For example, as the plan is open to new entrants, an increase in membership will increase the defined benefit obligation. Also, the plan only provides benefits upon completion of a vesting criteria. Therefore, if turnover rates increase then the liability will tend to fall as fewer employees reach vesting period.
The figures for the previous year have been regrouped / rearranged as necessary to conform to current year''s presentation and disclosure.
Mar 31, 2017
Significant Judgments
1 Revenue Recognition - Sale of Tools (Refer Note 2.2)
The tooling contracts entered by the Company with customers requires managementâs judgments in determining whether these contracts should be considered as sale of goods under Ind -AS 18 or as construction contracts under Ind AS 11. The revenue for sale of goods is recognized when substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and other criteria for revenue recognition for sale of goods as specified in the accounting policies are met. Revenue for construction contracts is recognized on a percentage of completion method. The Management has regarded these tooling contracts as a contract to build a specific asset that meets the definition of construction contract in Ind AS 11. These tooling contracts are the fixed price contracts and measured and recognized as per the principles laid down under Ind AS 11. These principles require the recognition of revenue and expenses under âPercentage of Completion Methodâ. Considering the Companyâs process of manufacturing these tooling contracts, the management has assessed that the contract costs to complete the contract and the stage of contract completion cannot be measured reliably except at the stage of completion of the tool. Owing to this, the revenue recognition in respect of these contracts is deferred till contract completion. â
2 Contingent liabilities
The Company has received various orders and notices from tax and other judicial authorities in respect of direct taxes, indirect taxes and labour matters. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate. Management regularly analyzes current information about these matters and makes provisions for probable losses including the estimate of legal expense to resolve the matters. In their assessments management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss.
3 Classification of Leasehold Land
The company has entered into lease agreement for land at two of its facilities. The lease period is of around 79-95 years in respect of these premises and the agreements have renewal options. These lands are situated in industrial estates, where the land is generally transferred through lease contracts and the upfront lease payment amounts are significantly equal to the fair value of land. Accordingly, significant risk and rewards associated with the land are considered to be transferred to the lessee. Based on these considerations and overall evaluation of the agreements with the less or, the management believes that these lease contracts meet the conditions of finance lease.
4 Determination of cash generating unit (CGU) for Impairment analysis
As part of its impairment assessment for non-financial assets (i.e. property, plant and equipment), the management needs to identify Cash Generating Units i.e. lowest group of assets that generate cash flows which are independent of those from other assets. Considering the nature of its assets, operations and administrative structure, the management has defined all assets put together as a single Cash Generating Unit.
5 Going Concern assumptions
The Company has incurred significant losses (before exceptional item) of Rs, 1,639 lakhs for the financial year ended 31 March 2017 and the Companyâs current liabilities exceeds its current assets by Rs, 4,221 lakhs as at 31 March 2017.
The Companyâs management has carried out an assessment of the Companyâs financial performance and expects the Company to achieve significant improvements in its financial performance with effect from financial year ending 31 March 2018 to enable it to continue its operations and to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. On the basis of the above assessment and considering the financial and other support from holding company, the Directors of the Company are of the opinion that the preparation of the financial statements of the Company on a going concern basis is appropriate.
6 Segment Reporting
Ind AS 108 Operating Segments requires Management to determine the reportable segments for the purpose of disclosure in financial statements based on the internal reporting reviewed by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to assess performance and allocate resources. Operating segments are defined as âBusiness Unitsâ of the Company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company operates in the automotive segment. The automotive segment includes all activities relating to development, design, manufacture, assembly and sale of auto component parts from which the Company derives its revenues. The management considers that these business units have similar economic characteristics like the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes and nature of the regulatory environment etc. Based on the management analysis, the Company has only one operating segment, so no separate segment report is given. The principal geographical areas in which the Company operates are India and other countries.
Significant estimates and assumptions
7 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment : Key assumptions used
The management has assessed current and forecasted financial performance of the Company and the current market value of the assets to determine whether carrying value of property, plant and equipment has suffered any impairment. Impairment assessment is based on estimates of future financial performance or opinions that may represent reasonable expectations at a particular point of time . Such information, estimates or opinions are not offered as predictions or as assurances that a particular level of income or profit will be achieved, that events will occur, or that a particular price will be offered or accepted. Actual results achieved during the period covered by the prospective financial analysis will vary and the variations may be material.
8 Claims payables & receivable to customers
Price increase or decrease due to change in major raw material cost, pending acknowledgement from major customers, is accrued on estimated basis. Also the Company has made accruals in respect of unsettled prices for some of its other material purchase contracts, finished goods and scrap sales contracts. These accruals are made considering the past settlement arrangements with the vendors and customers respectively and the applicable metal prices from published sources. Actual results of these considerations may vary and the variations may be material.
Further, the management has assessed and believes that the timing of cash outflow pertaining to this accruals are uncertain and hence considered the same as payable on demand and classified under current liabilities.
9 Defined benefit plan
The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan, other retirement benefits, the present value of the gratuity obligation and other retirement benefit obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds in currencies consistent with the currencies of the post-employment benefit obligation. The mortality rate is based on Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-08) Ultimate. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates. Further details about gratuity obligations are given in Note 45.
10 Fair valuation of financial instruments
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
11 Impairment of financial assets
The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed under Note 32 are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Companyâs past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to a factoring / discounting arrangement. Under these arrangements, the Company has transferred the relevant receivables to the bank in exchange for cash and is prevented from selling or pledging the receivables. However, the Company has retained late payment and credit risk. The Company therefore continues to recognize the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under these agreement is presented as secured borrowing.
(e) Terms and rights attached to equity shares:
The equity shares have a par value of '' 10. They entitle the holder to participate in dividends, and to share in the proceeds of winding up the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the share held. Every holder of equity shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.

Fair value hierarchy
This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values 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 under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level are as follows:
Level 13 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 14 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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.
Level 15 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017:
The carrying amount of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent , Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalent , other current financial assets, short term borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.
The Company has availed long term borrowings from banks, financial institutions and holding company carrying interest in the range of 10.15% to 11.25%. The Company has determined the fair value of these loans based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. The carrying values approximates their respective fair values. Similarly the fair value of non-current financial assets also approximates its carrying value.
Valuation technique used to determine fair value
Specific valuation technique used to value financial instruments include Fair value of cross currency Interest rate swaps is calculated with reference to fair value of another financial instrument that is essentially and substantially same.
Fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates as at the balance sheet date
Fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.
Valuation processes
External valuation experts are appointed for valuation of cross currency interest rate swap. For valuation of financial assets and liabilities other than cross currency interest rate swaps, the finance department of the company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team on regular basis.
Note 32 : Financial risk management
In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, the Company has a risk management policy which covers risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as credit risks, liquidity risk etc. The risk management policy is approved by the board of directors. The risk management framework aims to achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.
(A) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Companyâs liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet this.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyses the Companyâs financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:
- all non-derivative financial liabilities, and
- net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.
(B) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realizable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the, foreign currency exchange rates, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.
(a) Interest rate risk
The company has fixed rate borrowing and variable rate borrowings. The fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
In case of long term foreign currency loans with floating rate, the company manages its cash flow interest rate risk using floating to fixed interest rate swaps. Under this swaps, the company agrees with other parties to exchange the difference between fixed contract rate and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to agree notional principal amounts.
Notes forming part of financial statements
The percentage of total loans shows the proportion of loans that are currently at variable rates in relation to the total amount of borrowings.
Sensitivity
Loss is sensitive to change in interest expenses from borrowings as a result of change in interest rates
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Company imports material and capital goods from outside India. As a result of this the company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the companyâs functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The companyâs risk management policy is to hedge around 50% to 70% of forecasted foreign currency transactions for the subsequent 6 months. The objective of the hedges is to minimize the volatility of the INR cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity for above net exposure to foreign currency for all liabilities does not have a material impact to P&L
(C) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from counterparty failure to repay or service debt according to the contractual terms or obligations. Credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness. For the Company , credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, other balances and deposits with bank and financial institutions and trade receivables
Credit risk management
For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.
For other financial assets, the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as
at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:
- actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty ability to meet its obligations
- actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty
- significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty
- significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements
In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition if the payments are more than 90 days past due.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 365 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
None of the Companyâs cash equivalents, including time deposits with banks, are past due or impaired. Regarding trade receivables and other receivables, and other financial assets that are neither impaired nor past due, there were no indications as at March 31, 2017, that defaults in payment obligations will occur.
The Company follows 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date) model for recognition of impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost other than trade receivables. The Company follows lifetime expected credit loss model (simplified approach) for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables.
The ageing of trade receivable as on balance sheet date is given below. The age analysis has been considered from the due date.
(a) Risk management
The companyâs objectives when managing capital are to:-
- Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plans, long-term product and maintaining other strategic investment plans. The funding requirements are met through equity, long term borrowings and short-term borrowings. The Companyâs policy is aimed at maintaining optimum combination of short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company manages its capital structure and make adjustments considering the economic environment, the maturity profile of the overall debt of the company and the requirement of the financial covenants.
Loan Covenants
With respect to borrowing availed by the Company from Tata Capital Financial Services Limited, the Company is required to comply with following financial covenant:
- Total outside liabilities as a percentage of total net worth should not exceed 10.40 times.
- Total long term debt as a percentage of total tangible net worth should not exceed 3 times.
The Company has met the above requirement as at 31 March 2017. However, as of 31 March 2016, the Company had breached the above covenant which was waived by the said financial institution.

Note 18 : Exceptional Items
During the year ended March 2017 , the company has received a onetime compensation of Rs, 1,284 Lakhs towards settlement of its claims.
Note 19 : Employee Benefits
(A) Defined benefit plans a) Gratuity
The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to recognized funds in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.
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 may 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 recognized in the balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.
* The Company maintains gratuity fund, which is being administered by LIC. Fund value confirmed by LIC as at March 31, 2017 is considered to be the fair value.
Contribution expected to be paid to the plan during the next financial year Rs, 4.34 Lakhs (Previous year Rs, 2.46 Lakhs).
Notes forming part of financial statements
c) The following payments are expected contributions to defined benefit plan in future years
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 5 years
(B) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss
(C) Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below :
20. Interest rate risk:
The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
21. Salary inflation risk:
Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
22. Demographic risk:
For example,as the plan is open to new entrants, an increase in Membership will increase the defined benefit obligation. Also,the plan only provides benefits upon completion of a vesting criteria. Therefore, if turnover rates increase then the liability will tend to fall as fewer employees reach vesting period.
Note 46 : First-time adoption of Ind AS
These are the Companyâs first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet at April 01, 2015 (the date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards notified under Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and other relevant provisions of the Act (previous GAAP or Indian GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the groupâs financial position and financial performance is set out in the following tables and notes.
A. Exemptions availed on first time adoption of Ind-AS 101
Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.
i) Deemed cost property, plant and equipment and intangible asset - Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at their previous GAAP carrying value.
B. Exception
23. Estimates
An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 1 April 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP: Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.
24. De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirements in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the entity''s choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions. The company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
24. Classification and measurement of financial assets
Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.
C. Reconciliations:
The following reconciliations provides the effect of transition to Ind AS from previous GAAP in accordance with Ind AS 101
26. Equity as at April 01, 2015 and March 31, 2016
27. Net profit for the year ended March 31, 2016
Explanations for reconciliation of equity and statement of profit and loss as previously reported under
previous GAAP to IND AS
(a) As per Ind AS 101, derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109 should apply prospectively to the transactions occurring on or after the date of transition. AS per Ind AS 109, financial assets are derecognized only when the company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows 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. The company has bill discounting facility in respect of trade receivables from few of its customers. The company has bills of Rs, 2,181.28 Lakhs discounted as at March 31, 2016. Since the company has retained substantial risk and rewards in respect of these receivables, the company recognized trade receivable relating to bill discounting arrangement with customer and recognized corresponding financial liability as on March 31, 2016 Rs, 2,181.21 Lakhs.
(b) Under previous GAAP the forward exchange contracts and other derivative instruments were accounted in accordance with Accounting Standard 11 - âThe effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Ratesâ and the Announcement of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India on âAccounting for Derivativesâ issued in March 2008. Under Ind-AS, fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and other derivative instruments has been recognized and the corresponding adjustments has been made in the retained earnings as on the date of transition. (Net loss recognized as on April 1, 2015: Rs, 21.30 Lakhs: Net gain recognized as on March 31, 2016: Rs, 21.30 Lakhs).
(c) Under previous GAAP, capital subsidy received was credited to capital reserve as part of promoters contribution. Under Ind AS, capital subsidy has been considered as capital grant that will be recognized in profit & Loss over the life of assets. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs, Nil while there reserves and surplus balance reduced by Rs, 30 Lakhs.
(d) Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of product was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss account as a part of expense. The change has resulted in increase in the total revenue and the total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016: Rs, 2,578.17 Lakhs. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.
(e) 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 under other comprehensive income instead of profit and loss account. Under the previous GAAP, these measurements were forming part of profit and loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increase by Rs, 32.23 Lakhs. There is no impact on total equity as at March 31, 2016.
(f) Under Ind AS, the Company has capitalized items of stores and spares meeting the definition of property, plant and equipment as per Ind AS 16. The Company has accounted for the depreciation on these items upto the date of transition. The change has resulted in decrease in the total inventory and the retained earnings as on April 1, 2015: Rs, 66.56 Lakhs.
Mar 31, 2016
1. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. Net realizable 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. Scrap is valued at net realizable value.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION Sale of goods:

Deferred tax assets in case of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward business losses, as applicable, are recognized only to the extent there is virtual certainty that these will be realized and are reviewed for the appropriateness of their respective carrying values at each balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets against liabilities representing current tax and where the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

8 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions: Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date and are not discounted to its present value.
Contingent Liabilities: Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
9. Cash and Cash Equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Earnings considered in ascertaining the Company''s earnings per share is the net profit for the period after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto for the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period and for 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.
