The Financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 3rd May 2018.

2. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty:

In the application of the Companyâs accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the management of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the following areas the management of the Company has made critical judgements and estimates:

(a) employee Benefits:

The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for post employments plans include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of such obligations.

The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the defined benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of government bonds of maturity approximating the terms of the related plan liability.

(b) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment & intangible assets:

The Company reviews the useful life of property, plant and equipment & intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation expense in future periods.

(c) provision for warranty:

The Company gives warranties for its products, undertaking to repair or replace the items that fail to perform satisfactorily during the warranty period. Provision made at the year-end represents the amount of expected cost of meeting such obligations of rectification / replacement. The timing of the outflows is expected to be within a period of eighteen months.

(d) provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits and compensated absences) are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

Fair value of investment property

The company has obtained valuation of its investment properties from an independent valuer. The fair values were Rs.16.41 crore (previous year - Rs.29.20 crore) (Level 2).

Note:

1. The non- current investments in unquoted equity shares of subsidiaries are stated at amortised cost.

2. In the previous year the shareholders of Greaves Cotton Middle East FZC voluntarily decided to liquidate the Company. As on 20th April 2017, as per local laws, the company got liquidated.

3. The fair value of other investments (Non-current and Current) as at 31st March 2018 and 31st March 2017 have been arrived at on the basis of Net Asset Value (NAV) declared by the Mutual Funds (Level 1).

4. Also refer Note 33B.

For the financial assets that are measured at amortised cost, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since they are either of short term nature or interest receivable is close to current market rates. Refer Note 33B.

On 18th September 2014, the company discontinued manufacturing operations of Construction Equipment due to non-viability and the related assets of these operations will be eventually disposed off, accordingly these have been classified as assets held for sale.

During the year, the company carried out review of recoverable amount of leasehold land and freehold building. Review led to recognition of impairment loss of â NIL (previous year Rs.3.44 crore) which has been recognised in the Statement of profit and loss in Note 35. The recoverable value was estimated based on the fair value less cost of disposal of the asset.

3A On 3rd May 2018, the Board of Directors has proposed final dividend at the rate of Rs.1.50 per share of face value of Rs.2.00 (cash outgo Rs.44.16 crores including Dividend Distribution Tax). This proposed dividend is subject to approval of the shareholder in the ensuing annual general meeting.

The general reserve is used from time to time to transfer profits from retained earnings for appropriation purposes.There is no policy of regular transfer. As the general reserve is created by a transfer from one component of equity to another and is not an item of other comprehensive income, items included in the general reserve will not be reclassified subsequently to the Statement of profit and loss.

*There are no amounts due for payment to the Investor Education and Protection Fund Under Section 125 of the Companies Act, 2013 as at the year end.

Current financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost as the fair values are not different from their carrying amounts. Refer Note 33B.

The amount included in the balance sheet arising from the entityâs obligation in respect of its defined benefit plans is as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis:

Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.

These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.

The average duration of the benefit obligation at 31st March 2018 is 10.59 years, (as at 31st March 2017: 12.16 years).

Projected Plan Cash Flow :

The table below shows the expected cash flow profile of the benefits to be paid to the current membership of the plan based on past service of the employees as at the valuation date :

The company does not expect this amendment to have any impact on its financial statements.

Ind AS 115- Revenue from Contract with Customers:

Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entityâs contracts with customers.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach) The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after 1st April, 2018.

The company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and its effect on the financial statements.

These amendments are in accordance with the recent amendments made by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to IAS 7, ''Statement of cash flows'' and IFRS 2, ''Share-based payment'', respectively. The amendments are applicable to the company from 1st April 2017.

Amendment to Ind AS 7:

The amendment to Ind AS 7 requires the entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes, suggesting inclusion of a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the balance sheet for liabilities arising from financing activities, to meet the disclosure requirement.

The company is evaluating the requirements of the amendment and its effect on the financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 102:

The amendments to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.

The company does not expect this amendment to have any impact on its financial statements.

27. Adjustments to Statement of cash flows

There were no material differences between the Statement of Cash Flows presented under Ind AS and the previous GAAP.

28. Notes to first time adoption

29. Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the Shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of Rs. 29.53 crore as at 31st March 2016 (1st April 2015 - Rs. 32.15 crore) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.

30. Under the previous GAAP, investments in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as long-term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and reliability. Long-term investments were carried at cost less permanent diminution in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ended 31st March 2016. This increased the retained earnings by Rs. 1.86 crore as at 31st March 2016 (1st April 2015 - Rs. 0.47 crore).

31. Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognized at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits and under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognized as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by Rs. 0.13 crore as at 31st March 2016 (1st April 2015 - Rs. 0.26 crore). The prepaid rent increased by Rs. 0.12 crore as at 31st March 2016 (1st April 2015 - Rs. 0.25 crore). Total equity decreased by Rs. 0.01 crore as on 1st April 2015. The profit for the year and total equity as at 31st March 2016 decreased by Rs. 0.01 crore due to amortization of the prepaid rent of Rs. 0.13 crore which is partially off-set by the notional interest income of Rs. 0.12 crore recognized on security deposits.

32. Under Ind AS, investment property is required to be presented separately in the balance sheet and depreciation is charged on it. Accordingly, the carrying value of investment property as at 1st April 2015 of Rs. 4.28 crore and as at 31st March 2016 of Rs. 4.08 crore under previous GAAP has been reclassified to a separate line item on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has opted for the deemed cost exemption available to it in accordance with Ind AS 101. There was no impact on total equity or total comprehensive income due to this adjustment.

33. Under the previous GAAP, the premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge an existing asset / liability, is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a forward exchange contract is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding as at the year-end on account of firm commitment / highly probable forecast transactions are marked to market and the losses, if any are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and gains are ignored in accordance with the announcement by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India on "Accounting for Derivatives" issued in March 2008.

Under Ind AS 109, derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments are fair valued with resulting changes being recognized in statement of profit and loss. Consequent to this adjustment, the equity of the company increased by Rs. 0.16 crore as at 31st March 2016 (increased by Rs. 0.07 crore as at 1st April 2015).

34. Under Ind AS 19, re-measurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and loss. Under the previous GAAP, these re-measurements were forming part of the statement of profit and loss for the year. As a result of this change, the Statement of profit for the year ended 31st March 2016 decreased by Rs. 0.99 crore (Net of tax). There is no impact on the total equity as at 31st March 2016.

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ''other comprehensive income'' includes re-measurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive inco
