The Company is a public limited company and is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The financial statements, in accordance with Ind AS Notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, for the year ended 31st March 2019 were adopted by the Company as on 16th May 2019.

IB. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies:

1. Basis of Preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, i.e., Indian Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015. The Ind AS Financial Statements are prepared on historical cost convention, except in case of certain financial instruments which are recognized at fair value at the end of the reporting period as rendered in the Accounting Policy No 3 and on an accrual basis as a going concern.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Part I of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

Compliance with Ind AS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company applied Ind AS 115 for the first time. The Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) 116, Lease is applicable from FY 2019-20. The management believes that the adoption of Ind AS 116 does not have any significant impact on the financial statements. The Company has not early adopted any standards or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

2. Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the Ind AS financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the Balance Sheet date, reported amount of revenue and expenses for the year and disclosure of contingent liabilities and contingent assets as of the date of Balance Sheet. The estimates and assumptions used in these Ind AS financial statements are based on management''s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the Ind AS financial statements. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates used in the preparation of the Ind AS financial statements and the difference between actual results and the estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialise.

3. Fair Value Measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant''s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

(a) Non-derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. Further, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

(iv) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest where the fair value differs from the Transaction Price. Where the fair value does not differ, materially, from Transaction Price, the financial liabilities are stated at transaction price only.

(b) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank. Cash flow hedge

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on future foreign currency commitments.

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of profit and loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

4. Property, Plant and Equipment:

(iii) Losses arising from the retirement of and gains or losses arising from disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment which are carried at cost are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Depreciation is provided straight line method, based on useful lives of assets in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(v) Application software, Die and Core and New Product Development are amortized over a period of 3 years. Technical Knowhow is amortized over a period of 5 years.

5. Impairment

All assets other than inventories, investments and deferred tax asset, are reviewed for impairment, wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be fully recoverable, in such cases the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount and the amount of such impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be reckoned from initial recognition of the receivables.

If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that the previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss is reversed and the asset is restated to that effect,

Subsequent Recognition: As at the reporting date, non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are restated at the end of the accounting period. Exchange differences on restatement of all monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

9. Revenue recognition

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 115 is applicable from FY 2018-19 and it replaces Ind AS 18. It applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers. Ind AS 115 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgment, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. It also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. The Company has adopted the modified retrospective method of applying Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contract with customers in its initial year of application.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of products is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally when the product is shipped to the customer. The revenue from sale of Rings, Pins and Orbital Cold Formed transmission products is based on the terms of the tender.

The Company receives short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in Ind AS 115, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects, at contract inception, that the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Thus, there is no significant financing component.

Other Revenues

Other operating revenues comprise of income from ancillary activities (eg : scrap sales) incidental to the operations of the Company and is recognized when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

Service income is recognized as and when services are rendered as per the terms of the contract.

Revenue in respect of export benefits is recognized when the certainty of realization of the benefit is established. Revenue in excess of invoicing (referred to also as unbilled revenue) are classified as Contract Assets while invoicing in excess of revenues (referred to also as unearned revenue) are classified as Contract liabilities.

Interest: Interest income is calculated on effective interest rate, but recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service, except in case of death while in employment in which case the legal heirs would receive the gratuity.

The cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuation being carried out at each balance sheet date. The retirement benefit obligation recognized as expenditure represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. The Company makes contribution to Life Insurance Corporation of India to administer the fund. The changes in the actuarial assumptions are accounted through Other Comprehensive Income.

(ii) Short Term employee benefits

The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits, such as Leave Encashment, expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognized during the period when the employee renders the services.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

27. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Corporate Information:

IP Rings Limited (‘the Company’) or (‘IPR’) is engaged in the manufacture of engine and transmission components. The Company has manufacturing plant at Maraimalainagar, Chennai. The Company is a public limited company and is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The financial statements, prepared under Company (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, for the year ended 31st March 2017 were adopted by the Company as on 25th May 2017

2. Basis of Preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Section 133 of Companies Act 2013, i.e., Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015. Up to the year ended 31st March 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as amended from time to time. This is the Company’s first Ind AS Financial Statements. The date of transition to Ind AS is

1 st April 2015. Refer Note 28(18) for details of first time adoption of Ind AS and exemptions. The Ind AS financial statements are prepared on historical cost convention, except in case of certain financial instruments which are recognized at fair value at the end of the reporting period as rendered in the Accounting Policy No 4; and on an accrual basis as a going concern.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Part I of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current -non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

3. Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Ind AS financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the Balance Sheet date, reported amount of revenue and expenses for the year and disclosure of contingent liabilities and contingent assets as of the date of Balance Sheet. The estimates and assumptions used in these Ind AS financial statements are based on management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the Ind AS financial statements. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates used in the preparation of the Ind AS financial statements and the difference between actual results and the estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/materialize.

4. Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

(a) Non-derivative financial instruments

(i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model. Further, in cases where the Company has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.

(iv) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest where the fair value differs from the Transaction Price. Where the fair value does not differ, materially, from Transaction Price, the financial liabilities are stated at transaction price only.

(b) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The counterparty for these contracts is generally a bank.

Cash flow hedge

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on future foreign currency commitments.

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in the net profit in the statement of profit and loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the net profit in the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in cash flow hedging reserve is reclassified to net profit in the statement of profit and loss.

5. Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at acquisition cost includes related duties, freight etc., and interest on borrowed funds if any directly attributable to acquisition/construction of qualifying fixed assets and is net of CENVAT and VAT credits.

(ii) Subsequent expenditures related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipment are added to its book value only if they increase the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. In all such cases, the useful life of assets subsequently added to the parent asset are brought at par and depreciated in line with parent asset.

(iii) Losses arising from the retirement of, and gains or losses arising from disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment which are carried at cost are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iv) Depreciation is provided straight line method, based on useful lives of assets in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In respect of certain machines extended useful life of 30 years is adopted for claiming depreciation under Schedule II to Companies Act, 2013 based on technical justification obtained by the Company.

(v) Application software, Die and Core and New Product Development are amortized over a period of 3 years. Technical Knowhow is amortized over a period of 5 years.

(vi) Residual value of 5% is retained in books for all assets other than the assets whose useful life has elapsed _as on 01.04.2014 or those assets whose book value has already been reduced below 5% of acquisition cost.

6. Impairment

All assets other than inventories, investments and deferred tax asset, are reviewed for impairment, wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be fully recoverable, in such cases the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount and the amount of such impairment loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be reckoned from initial recognition of the receivables. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that the previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss is reversed and the asset is restated to that effect.

7. Investments

All Investments are carried at fair value. Investments, which at the inception, have been designated to be held for a long term capital appreciation, the changes in the fair value are considered through Other Comprehensive Income. All other investments are valued at fair value and the gains or losses being recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss.

8. Inventories
