The Financial Statements are presented in Indian Rupees (?) and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs ('' 00,000), except wherever otherwise stated.
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policiesA. Investment in subsidiaries and Joint venture
The investment in subsidiary and Joint venture are carried at cost as per Ind AS 27. The Company regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), determines whether it
is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee. The Company controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Thus, the Company controls an investee if and only if it has all the following:
(a) power over the investee
(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
(c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns.
Investments are accounted in accordance with Ind AS 105 when they are classified as held for sale. On disposal of investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
B. Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
(a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
(b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
(c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

(d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
Functional and presentational currency
The Companyâs financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (?) which is also the Companyâs functional currency.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a nonmonetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Company initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Company determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
Capital work in progress, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price (net of Input Tax Credit) and any directly attributable cost to bring assets to working condition. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of plant, property and equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories. An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as estimated by the management which is in line with the Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its property, plant and equipment which is in line with schedule II:

Leasehold improvement are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of lease term.
The residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered at 2%.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Amortisation and useful lives
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortization period and amortization method of the intangible asset with a useful finite life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the assets are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another assets.
Intangible Assets |
Estimated Useful life (Years) |
Computer Software |
Over the estimated economic useful lives of 4 years |
Technical Knowhow |
Over the period of Technical Assistance Agreement i.e. 8 years |
An intangible asset is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
Property that is held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or for both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction cost and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to assets carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. When significant parts of investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their respective useful lives. All other repair and maintenance cost are expensed when incurred. The Company depreciates building component of investment property over 30 years from the date of original purchase.
Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an external independent valuer applying a valuation model as per Ind AS 113 âFair value measurementâ. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. Investment properties are depreciated using straight line method over their estimated useful life. Tran sfer of property from investment property to the property, plant and equipment is made when the property is no longer held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both at carrying amount of the property transferred.
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-to-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Company recognises right-to-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-to-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-to-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-to-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Land & Building: 2-12 years Solar Power: 15 years Leasehold Land: 99 years If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-to-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section âImpairment of non-financial assetsâ.
ii. Lease Liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid u nder resid ual value gu arantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
iii. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
I. Inventories
Inventories which comprise raw material, work in
progress, finished goods, traded goods and stores
and spares are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The basis of determining costs for various categories of inventories is as follows:
⢠Raw materials, components, stores and
spares: Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted moving average basis.
⢠Work-in-progress and finished goods: Cost includes direct material plus appropriate share of labour, manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on a weighted moving average basis.
⢠Traded goods: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.
⢠Moulds: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Stores and spares which do not meet the definition of Property, plant and equipment are accounted as inventories.
Net realisable 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.
Scraps are valued at net realisable value The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of finished goods are not written down below cost, except in cases where material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished goods will exceed its net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
J. Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required,
the Company estimates the assetâs recoverable amount. An assetâs recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâs or cash-generating unitsâ (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses on non-financial asset, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the assetâs or CGUâs recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assetâs recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at the CGU level, as appropriate, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
K. Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it typically controls the goods before transferring them to the customer.
However, Goods and services tax (GST), is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
Revenue from sale of goods (including tools) is recognized at the point in time when control of the inventory is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the equipment. The normal credit term is 30 to 120 days upon delivery.
Revenue is measured by the Company at the transaction price i.e. amount of consideration received/ receivable in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customers. In determining the transaction price for the sale of products, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration including price adjustments to be passed on to the customers based on various parameters like negotiation based on savings on material and other factors. Accordingly, revenue for the current year is net of price differences.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company allocated a portion of the transaction price to goods bases on its relative standalone prices and also considers the following:
The Company operates several sales incentive programmes wherein the customers are eligible for several benefits on achievement of underlying conditions as prescribed in the scheme programme such as discounts. Revenue from contracts with customers is presented deducting cost of all these schemes.
Contract balances Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
A receivable represents the Companyâs right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
For all debt instruments measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instruments or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected estimated cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit loss. Interest income is included under the head âother incomeâ in the statement of profit and loss.
Interest income on bank deposits and advances to vendors is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is included under the head âother incomeâ in the statement of profit and loss.
Dividend is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
Rental income arising from operating leases are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included under the head âother incomeâ in the statement of profit and loss.
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all the attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When the Company receives grants of nonmonetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset i.e. by equal annual instalments. When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognized and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.
Q. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
The Company operates defined benefit plans for its employees, viz., gratuity. The costs of providing
benefits under these plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for both defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measu rement purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where the Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
a) The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
b) The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the
a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
b) Net interest expense or income
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
If the Company has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision. However, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets dedicated to that contract.
An onerous contract is a contract under which the unavoidable costs (i.e., the costs that the Company cannot avoid because it has the contract) of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. The cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract (i.e., both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities).
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax
rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in OCI or in equity). Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
⢠When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
⢠In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
⢠When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
⢠In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised
The carrying amoun t of d eferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in OCI or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and shortterm deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and shortterm deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of reporting period.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
V. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements Contingent assets are only disclosed when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity.
W. cash dividend to equity holders of the parent
The Company recognises a liability to make cash dividend to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the corporate laws in India, a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity.
Identification of segments
Operatin g segmen ts are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. Chief operating decision makers reviews the performance of the Company according to the nature of business of the Company which includes manufacturing and selling of automobile components. Accordingly, the Company has only one primary segment.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting financial statements of the Company as a whole.
Y. Assets held for sale
The Company classifies current and non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.
For these purposes, sale transactions include exchanges of non-current assets for other noncurrent assets when the exchange has commercial substance. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale of the asset to be highly probable when:
⢠The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset,
⢠An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated,
⢠The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
⢠The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and
⢠Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Non-current assets held for sale to owners and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the balance sheet.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale to owners are not depreciated or amortised.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
⢠Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations,
⢠Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations.
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit and loss.
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:
(a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(b) 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 participantâs 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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Companyâs management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement, such as derivative instruments and unquoted financial assets measured at fair value, and for non-recurring measurement, such as assets held for distribution in discontinued operations.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets and significant liabilities, if any.
At each reporting date, the management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Companyâs accounting policies. For this analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by
Mar 31, 2018
1.1 Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Investment in subsidiaries and Joint Venture
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
b. Current versus non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are based on current/ non-current classification.
An asset is treated as current when it is:
a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
(a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
(b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
(c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
(d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Operating cycle
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
c. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment and capital work in progress are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Such cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct services, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to its working condition for their intended use and cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss within other income.
The company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset.
Property, plant and equipment held for sale is valued at lower of their carrying amount and net realizable amount. Any write down amount is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected Ind AS 101 exemption and continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment and capital work in progress as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item of property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably with the carrying amount of the replaced part getting derecognised. The cost for day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in statement of profit and loss as and when incurred.
Capital work in progress
Capital work in progress comprises the cost of tangible assets that are not ready for their intended use at the reporting date.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as estimated by the management which is in line with the Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company has used the following useful lives to provide depreciation on its Property, plant and equipment which is in line with schedule II:
The management has estimated, supported by independent assessment by professionals, the useful life of the following class of asset, which are higher/different than that indicated in Schedule II.
Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of lease term.
The residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered at 2%.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
d. Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
The Company has elected Ind AS 101 exemption and continue with the carrying value for all of intangibles and intangibles under construction as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
Amortisation and useful lives
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the estimated useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset. Amortisation is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost.
Gain or loss arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
e. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.
f. Inventories
Inventories which comprise raw material, work in progress, finished goods, traded goods and stores and spares are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The basis of determining costs for various categories of inventories is as follows:
- Raw materials, components, stores and spares: Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted moving average basis.
- Work-in-progress and finished goods: Cost includes direct material plus appropriate share of labour, manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on a weighted moving average basis.
- Traded goods: Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.
Net realisable 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.
Scraps are valued at net realisable value
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of finished goods are not written down below cost, except in cases where material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished goods will exceed its net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
g. Foreign currencies
Functional and presentational currency
The Companyâs financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) which is also the Companyâs functional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which a Company operates and is normally the currency in which the Company primarily generates and expends cash. All the financial information presented in âLacsâ, except where otherwise stated.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
h. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.
The Company has concluded that it is the principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all the revenue arrangements as it has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
The Company has assumed that recovery of excise duty flows to the Company on its own account. This is for the reason that it is a liability of the manufacturer which forms part of the cost of production, irrespective of whether the goods are sold or not. Since the recovery of excise duty flows to the Company on its own account, revenue includes excise duty.
However, Goods and services tax (GST), sales tax or value added tax (VAT) is not received by the Company on its own account. Rather, it is tax collected on value added to the commodity by the seller on behalf of the government. Accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.
The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.
I. Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the customers. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Production scrap and other miscellaneous scrap are recognized in revenue.
II. Interest Income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and recorded using the effective interest rate (âEIRâ). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the EIR, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.
III. Dividend Income
Revenue is recognised when the Companyâs right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.
IV. Rental Income
Rental income arising from operating leases are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.
V. Government grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all the attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
When loans or similar assistance are provided by governments or related institutions, with an interest rate below the current applicable market rate, the effect of this favourable interest is regarded as government grant. The loan or assistance is initially recognized and measured at fair value and the government grant is measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan and the proceeds received. The loan is subsequently measured as per the accounting policy applicable to financial liabilities.
i. Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
For arrangements entered into prior to the Ind AS transition date i.e. April 01, 2016, the Company has determined whether the arrangement contain lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing on the date of transition.
Company as a lessee
A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease.
Finance lease
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease.
Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date, fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Companyâs general policy on the borrowing costs.
A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease
A lease where risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor is classified as operating lease.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless:
(a) Another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the userâs benefit even if the payments to the lessors are not on that basis; or
(b) The payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases. If payments to the lessor vary because of factors other than general inflation, then this condition is not met.
Company as a lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
j. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.
i) The Company operates defined benefit plans for its employees, viz., gratuity. The costs of providing benefits under these plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for both defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss.
ii) Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
iii) The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. The company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
a) The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
b) The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
b) Net interest expense or income
k. Provisions (other than employee benefits)
General
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) 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 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of discount is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Warranties
Warranty costs are estimated on the basis of a technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the year of sale of goods and is included in the statement of profit and loss. The estimates used for accounting for warranty costs are reviewed periodically and revisions are made, as and when required.
l. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity.
Financial Assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
- Debt instruments at amortised cost.
- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
Debt instruments at amortised cost
A debt instrument is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met
(i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and
(ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The accretion of EIR is recorded as an income or expense in statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. The group has made an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
Investments in Equity Instruments
Investment in equity instrument (quoted) where the business model of the company is not for trading, the company has opted for irrevocable option to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument through Other Comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
Debt instrument at FVTOCI
A âdebt instrumentâ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
b) The assetâs contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
Debt instrument at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the group may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as âaccounting mismatchâ). The group has not designated any debt instrument as at FVTPL.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the group may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value. The group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However, the group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the P&L.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Companyâs Balance Sheet) when:
(i) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or
(ii) The Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a âpass-throughâ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Financial Liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Companyâs financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings etc.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:
- Financial liabilities at amortised cost
- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial liabilities at Amortized cost Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.
Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. This category generally applies to borrowings.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
m. Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurement at amortised cost e.g., trade and other receivables, security deposits, loan to employees, etc.
The Company follows âsimplified approachâ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historically observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss.
n. Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Companyâs non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (âCGUâ) is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are Company together into the smallest Company of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Companyâs of assets (âCGUâ).
An impairment loss is recognized, if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount and is recognised in statement of profit and loss.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
o. Fair value measurement
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:
(a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(b) 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 participantâs 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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 â Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 â Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
p. Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income (OCI) or in equity). Current tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:
- When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
- When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
- In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
q. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Companyâs cash management.
r. earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding as at the end of reporting period.
Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of Equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.
s. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A contingent liability exists when there is a possible but not probable obligation, or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources, or a present obligation whose amount cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognised in the period in which the change occurs.
t. Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The Companyâs operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the Company operates.
u. Non-current assets held for sale
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal Company as held for sale/ distribution to owners if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale/ distribution rather than through continuing use.
Mar 31, 2017
1. Corporate information
Lumax Auto Technologies Limited the ("Company") is a public company domiciled in India. The Shares of the Company are listed on the BSE Limited (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and trading of automotive components.
2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The company has prepared these financial statements to comply in all material respects with the accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year, except for the change in accounting policies explained below.
2.1 Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Change in accounting policy
As per the requirements of pre-revised AS 4 (Accounting Standard 4), the Company used to create a liability for dividend proposed/ declared after the balance sheet date if dividend is related to periods covered by the financial statements. As per AS 4(R) [Accounting Standard 4 (revised)], the Company cannot create provision for dividend proposed/ declared after the balance sheet date unless a statute requires otherwise. Rather, Company will need to disclose the same in notes to the financial statements.
Accordingly, the Company has disclosed dividend proposed by board of directors after the balance sheet date in the notes to the financial statements.
Had the Company continued with creation of provision for proposed dividend, its surplus in the statement of profit and loss account would have been lower by Rs. 77,110,986 and current provision would have been higher by Rs. 77,110,986 (including dividend distribution tax of Rs. 13,042,743)
b. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management''s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Changes in estimate are reflected in the financial statements in the pdf in which changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in notes to the financial statements.
c. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and capital work in progress are stated at cost, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use and initial estimate of decommissioning, restoring and similar liabilities. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment. When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of Property, plant & equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life. Otherwise, such items are classified as Inventories
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of property plant and equipment assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is de-recognized.
The company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset.
Property, plant and equipment held for sale is valued at lower of their carrying amount and net realizable amount. Any write-down amount is recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss.
d. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment
Lease hold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease. Cost of lease hold improvements on Property, plant & equipment are amortized over period of lease or their useful for lives whichever is shorter.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at, based on the useful lives estimated by the Management. The company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its property plant and equipment.
The residual value of property, plant and equipment is considered at 2%.
e. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.
Intangibles assets are amortized using straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
f. Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
i) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. The Company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company.
Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.
ii) Income from services
Revenue in respect of sale of services are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements/arrangements. The company collects service tax on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.
iii) Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Interest income is included under the head "other income" in the statement of profit and loss.
iv) Subsidy income
Subsidy from the District Industrial Centre (under the Package Incentive Scheme 2007) is accounted based on eligibility certificate received and in proportion to the sales made during the year in line with the policy.
v) Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the Company''s right to receive dividend is established by the reporting date.
g. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment on inventories, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the company estimates the asset''s or cash-generating unit''s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior year Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
h. Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss
i. Inventories
Raw materials, components, stores and spares (including packing material) are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost of raw materials, components and stores and spares is determined on a moving average basis.
Items of stores and spares that meet the definition of Property, plant & equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their useful life. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventories.
Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is determined on moving weighted average basis.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on a moving weighted average basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
j. Foreign currency transactions
i) Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Nonmonetary items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
iii) Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The Company treats a foreign monetary item as "long-term foreign currency monetary item", if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange differences for this purpose are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items for the period. In other words, the Company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.
All other exchange differences are recognized as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.
iv) Forward exchange Contracts
The premium or discount - arising at the inception of forward Contract is amortized and recognized as on expenses/income over the Contract. Exchange differences on such Contracts are recognized in Statement of Profit & Loss in the period in which exchange rates change. Any Profit or Loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such forward Contract is also recognized as income or expenses for the period.
k. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Warranty provisions
Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognized when the product is sold or service provided. Provision is based on historical experience. The estimate of such warranty-related costs is revised annually.
l. Leases
Where the Company is lessee
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Where the Company is the lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss. Initial direct costs, such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognized immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
m. Retirement and other employee benefits
Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognizes contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid.
i) The company operates defined benefit plans for its employees, viz., gratuity. The costs of providing benefits under these plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for both defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss.
ii) Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
iii) The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss, and are not deferred.
n. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
o. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961.The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier year Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable profits.
In the situations where the company is entitled to a tax holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of timing differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the company''s gross total income is subject tothe deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in the year in which the timing differences originate. However, the company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of deferred taxes, the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.
At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.
p. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
q. Segment reporting
Identification of segments
The company''s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of the company operate.
Inter-segment transfers
The company generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus appropriate margins.
Allocation of common costs
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment according to the relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs.
Unallocated items
Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.
r. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
s. Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
t. Government grant and subsidies
Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that (i) the company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and (ii) the grant/ subsidy will be received.
When the grant or subsidy relates to revenue, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis in the statement of profit and loss over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income and released to income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset
u. Accounting for proposed dividend
As per the requirements of pre-revised AS 4, the Company used to create a liability for dividend proposed/ declared after the balance sheet date if dividend related to periods covered by the financial statements. Going forward, as per AS 4(R), the company cannot create provision for dividend proposed/ declared after the balance sheet date unless a statute requires otherwise. Rather, company will need to disclose the same in notes to the financial statements. Accordingly, the company has disclosed dividend proposed by board of directors after the balance sheet date in the notes to the financial statements.
Mar 31, 2015
A. Change in accounting policy Depreciation on fixed assets Till the
year ended 31 March 2014, Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956,
prescribed requirements concerning depreciation of fixed assets. From
the current year, Schedule XIV has been replaced by Schedule II to the
Companies Act, 2013. The applicability of Schedule II has resulted in
the following changes related to depreciation of fixed assets. Unless
stated otherwise, the impact mentioned for the current year is likely to
hold good for future years also. Useful lives/ depreciation rates Till
the year ended 31 March 2014, depreciation rates prescribed under
Schedule XIV were treated as minimum rates and the Company was not
allowed to charge depreciation at lower rates even if such lower rates
were justified by the estimated useful life of the asset. Schedule II to
the Companies Act 2013 prescribes useful lives for fixed assets which,
in many cases, are different from lives prescribed under the erstwhile
Schedule XIV. However, Schedule II allows companies to use higher/ lower
useful lives and residual values if such useful lives and residual
values can be technically supported and justification for difference is
disclosed in the financial statements. Considering the applicability of
Schedule II, the management has re-estimated useful lives and residual
values of all its fixed assets. The management believes that
depreciation rates currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the
useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, though these rates in
certain cases are different from the rates based on useful lives
prescribed under Schedule II.The impact of change in accounting policy
is disclosed in note 32.Assets for a value not exceeding Rs. 5,000The
depreciation on assets for a value not exceeding Rs. 5,000 which were
written off in the year of purchase as per erstwhile Companies Act,
1956, are being charged on the basis of their useful lives prescribed in
the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
b. Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in
conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these
estimates are based on the management''s best knowledge of current
events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods. Changes in
estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in
which changes are made and if material, their effects are disclosed in
notes to the financial statements.
c. Tangible fixed assetsFixed assets, except land and buildings
acquired before 1 April 2010, are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost
comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria
are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates
are deducted in arriving at the purchase.Subsequent expenditure related
to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it
increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its
previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on
existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance
expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement
of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are
incurredThe company adjusts exchange differences arising on
translation/ settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items
pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the
asset and depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset.
In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange
differences adjusted to the cost of fixed assets are total differences,
arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the
acquisition of a depreciable asset, for the period. In other words, the
company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising
from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an
adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.Gains or
losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognized.
d. Depreciation on tangible fixed assetsDepreciation on leasehold land
(other than land on perpetual lease) is provided over the lease period.
Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis
using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the
management. The Company has used the following rates to provide
depreciation on its fixed assets.
Assets Useful Lives estimated by the management
(years)
Factory Building 30
Other Building 30 to 60
Computers 3
Office equipments 5
Furniture and fixtures 10
The management has estimated, supported by independent assessment by
professionals, the useful life of the following class of asset, which
are higher than that indicated in Schedule II.
Assets Useful Lives estimated
by the management (years)
Plant and Machineries 21
Moulds 9
The residual value of tangible fixed assets is considered at 2%.
e. Intangible AssetsIntangible assets acquired separately are measured
on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible
assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized
and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the
year in which the expenditure is incurred.Intangibles assets are
amortized using straight-line method over their estimated useful lives
as follows:
Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life (Years)
Computer Software Over the estimated economic useful
lives ranging from 3 to 4 years
Technical Know-how Over the period of Technical
Assistance Agreement i.e. 8 years
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
f. Revenue recognitionRevenue is recognized to the extent that it is
probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the
revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition
criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
i) Sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when all the significant risks
and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer,
usually on delivery of the goods. The Company collects sales taxes and
value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and, therefore,
these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are
excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the
amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire
amount of liability arising during the year.
ii) Income from services
Revenue in respect of sale of services i.e. labour charged is
recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the
relevant agreements/arrangements.
iii) Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.
iv) Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the Company''s right to receive
dividend is established by the reporting date.
g. Impairment of tangible and intangible assetsTheCompany assesses at
each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing
for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable
amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or
cash-generating unit''s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use.
The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying
amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market
transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such
transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is
used.Impairment losses of continuing operations, including impairment
on inventories,
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except for
previously revalued tangible fixed assets, where the revaluation was
taken to revaluation reserve. In this case, the impairment is also
recognized in the revaluation reserve up to the amount of any previous
revaluation. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised
carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.An
assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any
indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer
exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company
estimates the asset''s or cash-generating unit''s recoverable amount. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has
been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset''s
recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The
reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not
exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is
recognized in the statement of profit and loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as
a revaluation increase.
h. Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.Current investments are carried in
the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined on
an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at
cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to recognize a
decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.On initial
recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises
purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as
brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or partly
acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the acquisition
cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an investment is
acquired in exchange for another asset, the acquisition is determined
by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or by reference to
the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly
evident.On disposal of an investment, the difference between its
carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the
statement of profit and loss.
i. Inventories
Inventories are valued as follows:i)
Raw materials, components, stores and spares (including packing
materials) are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.
However, materials and other items held for use in the production of
inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in
which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above
cost. Cost of raw materials, components and stores and spares is
determined on a moving average basis.
Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is
determined on moving weighted average basis.
Traded goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost
includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined
on a weighted average basis.
Scrap is valued at net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
j. Foreign currency transactions
i) Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
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.
iii) Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary
items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. TheCompany
treats a foreign monetary item as "long-term foreign currency monetary
item", if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its
origination. In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012,
exchange differences for this purpose are total differences arising on
long-term foreign currency monetary items for the period. In other
words, the Company does not differentiate between exchange differences
arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are
regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange
difference.All other exchange differences are recognized as income or
as expenses in the period in which they arise.
k. Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their
present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates.
l. Leases
Where the Company is lessee
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of leased item, are classified as operating
leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the
statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease
term.
Where the Company is the lessor
Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the
risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as
operating leases. Assets subject to operating leases are included in
fixed assets. Lease income is recognised in the statement of profit and
loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including
depreciation are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit
and loss. Initial direct costs, such as legal costs, brokerage costs,
etc. are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
m. Retirement and other employee benefits
i) Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined
contribution scheme. The company has no obligation, other than the
contribution payable to the provident fund. The company recognizes
contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure,
when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution
payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the
scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution
already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is
recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre payment will lead to,
for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash.
ii) The company operates defined benefit plans for its employees, viz.,
gratuity. The costs of providing benefits under these plans are
determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end.
Separate actuarial valuation is carried out for each plan using the
projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for both
defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which
they occur in the statement of profit and loss.
iii) Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the
next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company
measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount
that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has
accumulated at the reporting date.
iv) The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward
beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement
purpose. Such long term compensated absences are provided for based on
the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the
year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement
of profit and loss, and are not deferred. The Company presents the
entire leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, since it does
not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months
after the reporting date.
n. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting
preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the year.For the purpose of
calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the
year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the
effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
o. Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is
measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The tax rates and tax
laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax
relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity
and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the current
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax
relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity
and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported
by convincing evidence that they can be realized against future taxable
profits. In the situations where the company is entitled to a tax
holiday under the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India or tax laws
prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions where it operates, no
deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognized in respect of timing
differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent
the company''s gross total income is subject to the deduction during the
tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing
differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognized in
the year in which the timing differences originate. However, the
company restricts recognition of deferred tax assets to the extent that
it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may
be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax assets can be realized. For recognition of
deferred taxes, the timing differences which originate first are
considered to reverse first.
At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognized deferred
tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent
that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case
may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a
legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes
relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement
of profit and loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit
available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to
be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Credit Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the
Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the
statement of profit and loss and shown as "MAT Credit Entitlement." The
Company reviews the "MAT credit entitlement" asset at each reporting
date and writes down the asset to the extent the Company does not have
convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified
period.
p. Cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statement comprise cash at
bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity
of three months or less.
q. Segment reporting
The company''s operating businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of products and services provided, with each
segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different
products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the areas in which major operating divisions of
the company operate.Inter- segment transfersThe company generally
accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus appropriate
margins. Allocation of common costsCommon allocable costs are allocated
to each segment according to the relative contribution of each segment
to the total common costs.Unallocated itemsUnallocated items include
general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to
any business segment.
r. Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past
events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does
not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial statements.
s. Research and development
Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to revenue
in the year in which it is incurred. Capital expenditure on research
and development is added to fixed assets and are depreciated in
accordance with policies of the Company.
t. Borrowing costs
Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings.Borrowing
costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part
of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed in the period they occur.
u. Government grant and subsidies
Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is
reasonable assurance that (i) the company will comply with the
conditions attached to them, and (ii) the grant/subsidy will be
received.
Government grants of the nature of promoters'' contribution are credited
to capital reserve and treated as a part of the shareholders'' funds.

1.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India under the
historical cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements
have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the
Accounting Standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies
Act 1956 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, as amended
and the other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current and
non-current.
Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the
purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and
liabilities.
1.2 Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP
requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of
reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management''s
best knowledge of current events & actions, uncertainity about these
assumptions and estimates could result in the outcome requiring a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in
future period. These differences between actuals & estimates are
recognized in the period in which the resluts are known/materialized.
1.3 Inventories
a) Raw materials and components, stores & spares (including packing
materials), stock-in-trade goods (including moulds & dies) valued at
lower of landed cost (net of taxation credits, if any) and net
realizable value , after making provision for obsolescence wherever
necessary.
Cost comprises of cost of purchase & other costs incurred in bringing
them to their respective present location and condition and is
determined on First-in-First-Out (FIFO) basis.
b) Work-in-progress, Finished Goods -
Valued at lower of cost and Net realizable value, after making
provision for obsolescence wherever necessary. Cost of work-in-progress
& finished goods includes direct material , Labour and proportion of
manufacturing overheads.
c) Scrap
At net realizable value*.
1.4 Cash & cash equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash in
hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement has been prepared by following the indirect method
set out in the Accounting Standard - 3 of "Cash Flow Statement"
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
1.5 Events subsequent to the balance sheet date
Events occuring after the Balance Sheet date, which have a material
impact on the financials affairs of the Company, are taken into
cognisance while presenting the financial statements of the company.
1.6 Prior period and extraordinary items
Prior period and extraordinary items and changes in accounting
policies, having a material impact on the financial affairs of the
company are disclosed, wherever required.
1.7 Depreciation & amortization of tangible & intangible assets
Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis by the straight-line
method as per the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies
Act, 1956, read with relevant circulars issued by the department of
company affairs from time to time.
Depreciation on additions to / disposal from tangible fixed assets made
during the year is provided on pro-rata basis from/ upto the date of
such additions / disposal, as the case may be. Intangible assets are
amortized as follows :
a) Leasehold land : Over the period of lease
b) Specialized software : Over the estimated economic useful life.
c) Technical knowhow : Over a period of technical assistance agreement
i.e. 8 years.
1.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Sale of goods
Revenue from operations is recognized when all the significant risks
and rewards of the ownership of the goods have been passed to the
buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. The company collects Sales
Taxes and Value Added Taxes on behalf of the government and ,
therefore, these are not economic benefits following to the company.
Hence , they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from
revenue (Gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross)
and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.
Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.
Interest income is included under the head of "other Income" in the
statement of profit and loss.
Dividends
Dividend income is recognized when the company''s right to receive
dividend is established by the reporting date.
1.9 Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of eligible CENVAT
, cess , deferred excise duty, VAT setoff and accumulated depreciation.
Cost includes purchase cost together with inward freight, duties, taxes
& incidental cost of acquisition, installation & eligible borrowing
cost. It also includes pre-operative expenses incurred during the
construction, trial & stabilization period until the time such assets
are put to commercial use.
1.10 Foreign currency transactions
a) Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the
exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction or that
approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
b) Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the year end are
restated at year end rates.
c) Non monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost.
d) Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on
settlement or on translation is recognized in the Statement of Profit
and Loss except in case of liabilities, where it relates to acquisition
of fixed assets, in that case it is adjusted to the carrying cost of
such assets.
1.11 Government grants are recognized only if there is reasonable
assurance as to its receipt and that the conditions attached there to
shall be complied with.
1.12 Investment
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended to be held for
not more than one year from the date on which such investments are
made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are
classified as long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost
comprise purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges
such as brokerage, fees and duties. If an investment is acquired, or
partialy acquired, by the issue of shares or other securities, the
acquisition cost is the fair value of the securities issued. If an
investment is acquired in exchange for another assets, the acquisition
is determined by reference to the fair value of the asset given up or
by reference to the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is
more clearly evident.
1.13 Employee benefits
a) Short term benefits : Short term employee benefits are recognized as
an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of Profit & Loss
of the year in which the related service is rendered. These benefits
include salaries, bonus, medical expenses etc.
b) Long term benefits
Defined Contribution Plan : Employees'' benefits in the form of ESIC,
provident fund & labour welfare fund are considered as defined
contribution plan and the contributions are charged to the statement of
Profit & Loss for the year, on accrual basis, when the contributions to
the respective funds are due.
Defined Benefit plan : Gratuity Benefits in the form of gratuity are
considered as defined benefit obligations and are provided on the basis
of an actuarial valuation by using the projected unit credit method as
at the date of Balance Sheet.
Leave Encashment : Benefits in the form of leave encashment on account
of un-availed leave at the year end are also considered as defined
benefit obligations and are provided as per the actuarial valuation
according to projected Unit cost method.
Acturial gains / losses , if any, are immediately recognized in the
Statement of Profit & Loss.
1.14 Borrowing [finance] cost
Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs
incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Borrowing
costs are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part
of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are
expensed out into the Statement of Profit & Loss.
1.15 Segment reporting
The company has identified its primary business segment as dealing &
manufacturing of "Automotive components". All activities of the
company revolve around the above segment. The entire operations are
governed by the same set of risks and returns. Hence it is considered
as single primary business segment.
The company sells its products in domestic as well as overseas markets.
However, the exports of the company have not been identified as
separate geographical segment for reporting purpose as it does not
fulfill the criteria as laid down in AS - 17 segment reporting issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Hence operations
have been considered as representing a single geographical segment.
1.16 Lease
Assets taken on lease under which all risks and rewards of the
ownership are effectively retained to the lessor are classified as
operating lease. Lease payments under Operating Leases are recognized
as expenses on Straight Line Basis as per the terms of lease.
1.17 Earning per share
In the earning per share, the Company considers the Net Profit or Loss
for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders.
The number of shares used in computing basic earning per share is the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
The number of shares used in computing diluted earning per share is the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year
after adjusting for the efects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.18 Current & deferred tax
Tax expenses for the period , comprising current tax and deferred tax,
are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the
period
Provision for current tax is made by taking into account the admissible
deductions/allowances under the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961, as
applicable for respective financial year.
Deferred tax is recognized for all the timing differences, subject to
the consideration of prudence in respect of deferred tax assets.
Defferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward only to the
extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
can be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by
using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. At each Balance Sheet
date, the company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets, if any.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is
a legal enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there
is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there
is a legal 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.
1.19 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. By following initial recognition, intangible
assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization as per the
criteria specified in Accounting Standard (AS) 26 "Intangible
Assets" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
1.20 Accounting for interest in Joint Ventures
Interest in joint venture is accounted as follows:
Jointly Controlled Entities - Income on investments in incorporated
jointly controlled entities is recognized when the right to receive the
same is established. Investment in such joint ventures is carried at
cost after providing for any permanent diminution in value.
1.21 Impairment of tangible & intangible assets
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of such asset
exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss is charged to the
statement of Profit & loss in the year in which the assets are
identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in the prior
accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimate of recoverable amount.
1.22 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions : Provisions, involving substantial degree of estimation in
measurement, are recognised if :
a) the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and
b) it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and
c) the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are determined
based on the best management 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.
Warranty expenses are provided in the year of sales based on technical
estimates.
Contingent liabilites : Contingent liabilities are disclosed in case
of:
a) a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the
obligation,
b) a present obligation when no reliable estimate is possible; and
c) a possible obligation arising from past events where the probability
of outflow of resources is not remote.
Contingent Liabilities are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed.

1.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India under the historical
cost convention on accrual basis. These financial statements have been
prepared to comply in all material aspects with the accounting
