(viii) A claim towards difference in price of calibrated iron ore for the period 1st April, 2006 to 28th February, 2007 amounting to Rs.33.07 crore has been raised by a supplier in March 2007. The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue along with method of review and re-fixing of price of calibrated iron ore effective on 1st of April each year in terms of agreement is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award was pronounced on 28th February 2014. In terms of the said award, the supplier is directed to re-compute amount payable by the Company. The supplier has revised the claim amount in December 2020 to Rs. 19.71 Crores.

This issue too was settled by the aforesaid arbitral tribunal. However, pending such determination of final price, the supplier has raised invoices at an ad-hoc interim mutually agreed price on the marketing contractor who in turn, has billed the Company at the same price and the liability, has been fully accounted for. An appeal preferred for challenging the said arbitration award was rejected by the City Civil Court in January 2019. The marketing contractor has gone in appeal against the decision of the City Civil Court before the High Court of Karnataka. The appeal is pending disposal.

The aforesaid sale is subject to fulfilment of certain conditions precedent by the parties. Amount realized from above disposal will be mainly utilized to repay debt / other interest-bearing liabilities and this will entail substantial reduction in the yearly interest costs.

The Company elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).

(43) Employee Benefits(a) Long term employee benefit obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company''s liability for earned leave and sick leave.The compensated absences charged/(written back) in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended March 31, 2022 based on actuarial valuation is Rs. (1.99) Crore (March 31, 2021 Rs. 0.51 crore).

(b) Post employment obligations Defined contribution plans

The Company also contributes on a defined contribution basis to employees'' provident fund and superannuation fund. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund (an exempted Trust). The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.

Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per Company''s Scheme/s. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month and as per the Schemes applicable to those employees. The gratuity plan is a funded plan. The scheme is funded with Life Insurance Corporation in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

The actuarial valuation of the defined benefit obligation was carried out at the balance sheet date. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and the related current service cost and past service cost were measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method.

a) The rate used to discount post employment benefit obligations is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

b) The estimates of future salary increases considered in the actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

c) The gratuity fund is managed by Life Insurance Corporation and details of fund invested by insurer are not available with Company.

d) The Company expects to make a contribution of Rs. 4.91 Crore to the defined benefit plans (gratuity - funded) during the next financial year.

e) The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 7 years.

Risk exposure

Valuations are performed on certain basic set of pre-determined assumptions and other regulatory frame work which may vary over time. Thus, the Company is exposed to various risks in providing the above gratuity benefit which are as follows:

Interest Rate risk: The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability (as shown in financial statements).

Liquidity Risk: This is the risk that the Company is not able to meet the short-term gratuity payouts. This may arise due to non-availability of enough cash / cash equivalent to meet the liabilities or holding of illiquid assets not being sold in time.

Salary Escalation Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan''s liability.

Demographic Risk: The Company has used certain mortality and attrition assumptions in valuation of the liability. The Company is exposed to the risk of actual experience turning out to be worse compared to the assumptions. Regulatory Risk: Gratuity benefit is paid in accordance with the requirements of the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 (as amended from time to time) and Company''s Schemes for different category of employees. There is a risk of change in regulations requiring higher gratuity payouts.

Asset Liability Mismatching or Market Risk: The duration of the liability is longer compared to duration of assets, exposing the Company to the market risk for volatilities/fall in interest rate.

Investment Risk: The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

B. Measurement of fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

a) The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, deposits, other receivables, cash and cash equivalent including other current bank balances and other liabilities including deposits, creditors for capital expenditure, etc. are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to current and short term nature of such balances.

b) Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances if required, are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables.

c) The fair values for investment in equity shares other than subsidiaries were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs.

C. Fair Value Hierarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity securities included in level 3.

(47) Financial Risk Management

The process of identification and evaluation of various risks inherent in the business environment and the operations of the Company and initiation of appropriate measures for prevention and/or mitigation of the same are dealt with by the concerned operational heads under the overall supervision of the Managing Directors of the Company. The Audit Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and efficacy of the overall risk management system. The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company has in place adequate Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls are operating effectively. The Company has adopted policies and procedures for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of frauds and errors, accuracy and completeness of accounting records and timely preparation of reliable financial statements.The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

â¢ Credit risk

â¢ Liquidity risk and

â¢ Market risk

A Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company''s trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

i Trade and Other receivables

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix. The loss rates are computed using a ''roll rate'' method based on the probability of receivable progressing through successive stages till full provision for the trade receivable is made.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables (net of provision) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due.

iii Cash and bank balances

The Company held cash and cash equivalent and other bank balance of Rs. 208.24 crores at March 31, 2022 [including Rs. 161.46 crores being Short Term Fixed Deposit Escrow Account] (March 31, 2021: Rs. 35.99 crores). The same are held with banks with good credit rating.

B Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company''s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company''s reputation. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

C Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk), will affect the company''s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

D Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company''s long term debt obligation at floating interest rates. The company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

II The Company has not traded or invested in Crypto currency or Virtual Currency during the financial year.

III The Company have no such transaction which is not recorded in the books of accounts that has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (such as, search or survey or any other relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961).

IV The Company has complied with the number of layers prescribed under clause (87) of section 2 of the Act read with the Companies (Restriction on number of Layers) Rules, 2017.

V The Code on Social Security, 2020 (''Code'') has been notified in the Official Gazette in September 2020 which could impact the contribution by the Company towards certain employment benefits. The effective date from which the changes and rules would become applicable is yet to be notified. Impact of the changes will be assessed and accounted in the relevant period of notification of relevant provisions.

VI Disclosure with respect to monthly/quarterly statement of Current assets filed with Bank

The Company has filed, monthly/quarterly returns or statements read with subsequent revision, with the banks in compliance with the sanctioned facilities, which are in agreement with books of accounts at the time of filing with respective banks.

VII In view of the aggregate losses as calculated in accordance Sec 135 and 198 of the companies Act, 2013 during last 3 years immediately preceding financial years, the Company is not required to incur any expenditure in pursuance of the CSR policy for the FY 2021-22.(Previous year : NIL).

(9) FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The process of identification and evaluation of various risks inherent in the business environment and the operations of the Company and initiation of appropriate measures for prevention and/or mitigation of the same are dealt with by the concerned operational heads under the overall supervision of the Managing Directors of the Company. The Audit Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and efficacy of the overall risk management system. The Companyâs financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company has in place adequate Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls are operating effectively. Your company has adopted policies and procedures for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, prevention and detection of frauds and errors, accuracy and completeness of accounting records and timely preparation of reliable financial statements.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

- Credit risk

- Liquidity risk and

- Market risk A Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Companyâs trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.

i Trade and Other receivables

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date. The expected credit losses over lifetime of the asset are estimated by adopting the simplified approach using a provision matrix. The loss rates are computed using a âroll rateâ method based on the probability of receivable progressing through successive stages till full provision for the trade receivable is made.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables including interest (gross of provision) has been considered from the date the invoice falls due -

iii Cash and bank balances

The Company held cash and cash equivalent and other bank balance of INR 58.54 crores at March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: Rs 61.40 crores; April 1, 2016: Rs 63.94 crores). The same are held with banks with good credit rating.

B Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Companyâs approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Companyâs reputation. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Companyâs liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted.

C Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk), will affect the companyâs income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

D Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companyâs exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Companyâs long term debt obligation at floating interest rates. The companyâs fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

E Interest rate risk exposure

The exposure of the Companyâs borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

B. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to reconcile equity, total comprehensive income and cash flows for prior periods. The following tables represent the reconciliations from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

i. Reconciliation of Balance sheet as at date of transition (April 1, 2016)

vi. Effects of IND AS adoption on Cash Flows for year ended 31 March 2017

2 Capitalisation of stores & spares

As per Ind AS 16, spare parts, stand- by equipment and servicing equipment are recognised as Property, Plant and Equipment (âPPEâ) when they meet the following criteria:

- Are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and

- Are expected to be used during more than one period.

Based on the above provision, stores and spares satisfying above criteria are de-recognised from Inventory and capitalized as PPE from the date of purchase.â

However, as per Ind AS 17, where the substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset has not been transferred in the name of Company, the Company has classified such land under Operating Leases. The amount paid towards such leases has been shown as Prepayments under Other non-current assets and other current assets.

4 Investment in subsidiaries measured at FVTOCI

The Company has designated Investment in Subsidiary at Fair Value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). Therefore all the fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as FVTOCI have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in FVTOCI for the year ended March 31, 2017.

5 Investment in Joint ventures measured at FVTPL

The Company has designated Investment in joint ventures at Fair Value through Profit & Loss (FVTPL). Therefore all the fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as FVTPL have been recognised in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the statement of profit & loss for the year ended March 31, 2017.

6 Borrowings

Under previous GAAP, transaction costs in relation to borrowings were initially recognised as an asset and subsequently, amortized over the period of the loan as borrowing costs. Under Ind AS, financial liabilities in the form of borrowings have been measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

7 Unbilled Revenue

Difference between revenue as per percentage of completion method and billing milestone are considered as unbilled revenue and receivable from such revenue are shown as other financial assets, which was grouped under Inventories in earlier years

8 Expected Credit Loss provision on Financial Assets

Under Indian GAAP, Company recognises provisions on the basis of incurred losses. Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been recognised based on Expected Credit Loss basis (ECL).The resultant impact has been made to retained earnings.

The difference on the transition date has been recognized in opening retained earnings . Interest charge at effective interest rate on such borrowings has been recognized as finance cost in subsequent periods.

10 Security Deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free security deposits are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial instruments are initially required to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued the security deposits as on the transition date and difference between fair value of security deposits and the carrying value (transaction value) as per Previous GAAP has been recognised as advance rent. Subsequently, security deposits are carried at amortised cost and unwinding of interest is charged to Statement of Profit & Loss.

11 Deferred tax

Indian GAAP requires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Retained earnings and statement of profit and loss has been adjusted consequent to the Ind AS transition adjustments with corresponding impact to deferred tax, wherever applicable. Under Ind AS, MAT credit is also presented with deferred tax.

12 Retained Earnings

Retained earnings as at April 1, 2016 & March 31, 2017 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue along with method of review and re-fixing of price of calibrated iron ore effective on 1st of April each year in terms of agreement is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award was pronounced on 28th February 2014. In terms of the said award, the supplier is directed to re-compute amount payable by the Company. Pending receipt of the revised claim, the final liability arising there from is not ascertainable.

It is the opinion of the management that in view of the substantially large claims for incremental jobs executed, escalations and time over-runs to be settled progressively over a period of 2 to 3 years, losses currently expected are already recognized till the close of the year. Since realization of these amounts is a judgmental matter, the auditors have placed reliance on the Managementâs judgment of the losses currently expected in the contract considering reliasability of amounts.

The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue along with method of review and re-fixing of price of calibrated iron ore effective on 1st of April each year in terms of agreement is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award was pronounced on 28th February 2014.

The outcome of the Road Construction activity cannot be estimated with certainty at present. Pending claims as at 31.03.2015 aggregate Rs.223.36 crore (Previous Year: Rs.225.28 crore). Bulk of these claims are now being processed at the level of Tribunal as against the level of consulting engineers in the previous year.

Since realization of these amounts is a judgmental matter, the auditors have placed reliance on the Management''s judgment of the losses currently expected in the contract considering reliasability of amounts.

Management, barring any significant uncertainties in future, relies upon the VCL management's estimation of realizable values of financial assets of VCL and expected additional realization from its real estate development agreement with a developer to be able to recover its exposures. The management considers the balance 'Exposures' to be 'Good' at the close of the year and adequately covered, and expects full realisability of the same in future, upon which, the Auditors, being unable to make an informed judgement, have placed their reliance.

The management considers the balance 'Exposures' to be 'Good' at the close of the year and adequately covered and expects full realisability of the same in future, upon which, the Auditors, being unable to make an informed judgement, have placed their reliance.

(d) The Company has an investment of Rs. 26.25 crore (Previous Year Rs. 26.25 crore) in equity shares of Mukand Global Finance Limited (MGFL), a wholly owned subsidiary, whose recovery is dependent upon realisation of the financial assets that MGFL stands invested into at the close of the year. The management considers the 'Exposure' to be 'Good' and adequately covered since it is in the process of disposing off this investment. As the negotiated price is yet undecided, any ultimate shortfall in the realization is not determinable at present, the Auditors being unable to make an informed judgment have placed reliance on the judgment of the management.

(e) For details of loans and advances given to related parties, please refer Note No. 33

Under the terms of the said agreement, the sale of shares was based on certain conditions to be complied with subsequent to sale, and which conditions have been fulfilled.

Demand for Annual Bonus for the financial years 1995-96 to 2006-07 by Staff and Officers' Association is pending at different stages in proceedings under The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Bulk of these employees are statutorily not covered by The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and many of the employees are also not covered by The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Liability arising there from cannot therefore be determined at present.

(ix) Government of Maharashtra had served a Demand Notice on the Company for payment of electricity duty for power generated during the period 01.04.2000 to 30.04.2005 and penal interest thereon in Company's Captive Power Plant amounting to Rs. 14.27 crore.

(xi) A claim towards difference in price of calibrated iron ore for the period 1st April, 2006 to 28th February, 2007 amounting to Rs. 33.07 crore has been raised by a supplier in March 2007. The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue along with method of review and re-fixing of price of calibrated iron ore effective on 1st of April each year in terms of agreement is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award is awaited. Moreover, the said supplier has also unilaterally increased the price of calibrated iron ore w.e.f. 1st April, 2007 and thereafter w.e.f. 1st April, every year. This issue too is to be settled by the aforesaid arbitral tribunal. However, pending such determination of final price, the supplier has raised invoices at an ad-hoc interim mutually agreed price on the marketing contractor who in turn, has billed the Company at the same price and which liability, has been fully accounted for.

(b) The management has, keeping in view the accounting policy 31(8)(v) adopted by the Company, technically determined the realisable value of Contracts in Progress (including incidental income by way of disposal of plant and equipment at the end of the contract) compared to relatable revenues and claims raised by the Company in respect of its Road Construction Contracts. Although the outcome of the Road Construction activity cannot be estimated with reliability at present, it is the opinion of the management that in view of the substantially large claims by the Company aggregating Rs.113.27 crore (Previous Year Rs.114.73 crore) for incremental jobs executed, escalations and time over-runs, losses currently expected are already recognized till the close of the year. Since realization of these claims is a judgmental matter, on which auditors are not able to make an informed judgment, the auditors have placed reliance on the Management's judgment of the losses currently expected, reliasability of claims which is expected to be settled progressively by 31st March, 2013, and further losses if any, would be entirely recognized and fully expensed by that date.

(e) The Company had, during the Financial Year 1998-99, entered into a strategic alliance with Kalyani Steels Limited to set-up a steel plant to be operated by a Company - Hospet Steels Limited.

Expenses and liabilities arising out of this alliance to Hospet Steels Limited are shared on the basis stipulated in the relevant Agreements, and its accounting in the books of the Company is carried out, accordingly.

Wherever, due to the terms of the alliance, estimations are required to be made in respect of expenses, liabilities, production, etc., the same have been relied upon by the auditors, being technical matters.

(ii) The Company expects to contribute Rs.1.68 crores to its gratuity plan for the next year. In assessing the Company's post retirement liabilities, the Company monitors mortality assumptions and uses up-to-date mortality tables, the base being the LIC, 1994-96 ultimate tables.

(iii) Expected return on plan assets is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. The estimates of future salary increase considered in actuarial valuation take account of inflation, seniority promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

(iv) The composition of the plan assets, by category from the insurers, LIC are on the basis of overall investment by them for all such insured entities and hence, the disclosures as required by Accounting Standard 15 in 'Employee Benefits' have not been given, and Auditors have relied upon the same.

(b) In terms of the strategic alliance with Kalyani Steels Limited, the Company has accounted for its share towards gratuity in respect of employees of Hospet Steels Ltd. amounting to Rs. 0.20 crore (Previous Year Rs. 0.19 crore) on the basis of an actuarial valuation.

(c) In respect of certain employees of Road Construction Division, liability for gratuity is provided at actuals on the basis of amount due as at 31st March, 2012, since the projects are for shorter duration. Such liability as at 31st March, 2012 (including Rs. 0.14 crore for the year which has been paid) aggregate Rs. 0.05 crore (Previous Year Rs. 0.05 crore)

(d) An amount of Rs. 3.70 crore as contribution towards defined contribution plans [including Rs. 0.74 crore in terms of strategic alliance referred in (b) above] is recognised as expense in the Profit and Loss Account.

4. Current Assets

In the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, all items of ÃCurrent Assets, Loans and AdvancesÃ, continue to have a realizable value of at least the amounts at which they are stated in the Balance Sheet, unless otherwise stated.

5. Debtors

Debtors include an amount of Rs.29,403 thousands due from Ispat Group of Companies. The Company had entered into an agreement dated 31st March, 1998 to sell 500,000 Equity shares of Rs.10/- each of Kalyani Mukand Ltd., for an aggregate consideration of Rs.69,375 thousands. Under the terms of the said agreement, the sale of shares was based on certain conditions to be complied with subsequent to sale, and which conditions have been fulfilled.

Since the sale and transfer of the shares were considered to be legally complete upon execution of the Agreement of Sale of shares, the Company had taken credit for the consideration aggregating Rs.69,375 thousands, during the Accounting Year 1997-98. The Company has, upto the close of the accounting year 2010-11, received amounts aggregating Rs.39,972 thousands against the aggregate consideration of Rs.69,375 thousands, and management considers the balance amount to be good and recoverable in due course and this has been relied upon by the Auditors.

6. Loans, Advances, Debts, investments etc.

(a) The Company has investments of Rs.1,930 thousands (Previous Year Rs.1,930 thousands) in equity shares of Bombay Forgings Limited (BFL), and has debts due from BFL which has reduced to Rs.669,774 thousands as at 31.03.2011 (Previous Year Rs.803,336 thousands) (collectively referred to as ÃExposuresÃ). Net worth of BFL has turned positive and BFL is no longer a sick industrial company. BIFR has discharged BFL from the purview of provisions of SICA. The management, considering its long term view on the ÃExposuresÃ relies upon on the valuation of unencumbered assets of BFL as at 31st March, 2011 which is at Rs.755,700 thousands (Previous Year Rs.567,261 thousands) and barring any significant uncertainties in future, relies upon the earnings from the ongoing business of BFL. The management considers the balance

ÃExposuresÃ to be ÃGoodÃ at the close of the year and adequately covered and expects full realisability of the same in future, upon which, the Auditors, being unable to make an informed judgement, have placed their reliance.

(b) The Company has an investment of Rs.616,300 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 616,300 thousands) in equity shares of Vidyavihar Containers Ltd. (VCL) a wholly owned Subsidiary. The Company has outstanding balances of loans amounting to Rs.666,189 thousands (net of amount received during the year Rs.8,780 thousands and of interest receivable amounting to Rs.155,674 thousands) (Previous Year Rs. 674,969 thousands) (collectively referred to as ÃExposuresÃ). Although the Net Worth of VCL has eroded, the management considers it appropriate to recognise diminution in value of investments only upto an amount of Rs.184,890 thousands and had, during FY2008-09, fully provided for doubtful recovery of interest receivable from VCL and consider no further provision necessary. This interest receivable has been written-off during the year against the provision made in FY2008-09. After the close of the year, Company has received Rs.130,000 thousands against the outstanding balances of loans and further amounts are likely to be realised in FY2011-12. Management, barring any significant uncertainties in future, relies upon the VCL managementÃs estimation of realizable values of financial assets of VCL and expected additional realization from it real estate development agreement with a developer to be able to recover its exposures. The management considers the balance ÃExposuresÃ to be ÃGoodÃ at the close of the year and adequately covered, and expects full realisability of the same in future, upon which, the Auditors, being unable to make an informed judgement, have placed their reliance.

(c) The Company has an investment of Rs.130,915 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 130,915 thousands) in equity shares of Stainless India Limited (SIL), has trade debts Rs.153,432 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 153,432 thousands) (including considered doubtful and provided during FY2005-06 Rs.144,981 thousands), loans and interest receivable outstanding aggregating Rs.4,712 thousands(since received) (Previous Year Rs. 4,280 thousands) and has trade advances / interest receivable, aggregating Rs.773,435 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 774,259 thousands) (including doubtful of recovery and provided during FY2005-06 Rs.200,000 thousands and an amount of Rs.190,000 thousands written-off during the year). Company has during the year written-off trade debts amounting to Rs.144,981 thousands against the provision made in FY2005-06. It has also written-off an amount of Rs.390,000 thousands towards trade advances (including Rs.200,000 thousands against the provision made in FY2005-06).

The Net-worth of SIL has eroded. The management has recognised fully the diminution in value of investments and has made further provision of balance ÃExposuresÃ in SIL, as referred above. The management, baring any significant uncertainties, relies upon the estimated realisable values of unencumbered assets of SIL, as at 31st March, 2011 estimated at Rs.494,969 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 592,161 thousands). The management considers the balance ÃExposuresÃ to be ÃGoodÃ at the close of the year and adequately covered and expects full realisability of the same in future, upon which, the Auditors, being unable to make an informed judgement, have placed their reliance.

(d) The Company has an investment of Rs.262,495 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 262,495 thousands) in equity shares and interest recoverable from Mukand Global Finance Limited (MGFL), a wholly owned subsidiary, aggregating Rs.118,848 thousands (Previous Year Rs. 118,848 thousands) (collectively referred to as ÃExposuresÃ) whose recovery is dependent upon realisation of the financial assets that MGFL stands invested into at the close of the year. Company had during FY2008-09, provided as doubtful of recovery the interest receivable from MGFL amounting to Rs.118,848 thousands. Company has written-off the amount of interest receivable during the year against the provision made during FY2008-09. The management considers the balance ÃExposureÃ to be ÃGoodÃ and adequately covered since it is in the process of disposing off this investment. As the negotiated price is yet undecided, any ultimate shortfall in the realization is not determinable at present, the Auditors being unable to make an informed judgment have placed reliance on the judgment of the management.

(f) During the year, the Joint Venture agreement with NV Bekaert SA of Belgium stands terminated w.e.f. 29.03.2011 due to additional infusion of capital by NV Bekaert SA. In case of the CompanyÃs investments in Mukand Bekaert Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd., (MBWL), the Joint Venture Company, no provision for diminution in the value of investments in MBWL is considered even though MBWLÃs net-worth has eroded by 46.47% since this is a long term investment by the Company. Moreover, NV Bekaert SA has infused additional capital in MBWL to double the capacity of its plant and this is expected to earn sufficient profits in the coming years and recoup the losses incurred till 31.03.2011. The Auditors being unable to make an informed judgment have placed reliance on the judgment of the management.

Bulk of these employees are statutorily not covered by The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and many of the employees are also not covered by The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Liability arising there from cannot therefore be determined at present.

(ix) Government of Maharashtra had served a Demand Notice on the Company for payment of electricity duty for power generated during the period 01.04.2000 to 30.04.2005 and penal interest thereon in CompanyÃs Captive Power Plant amounting to Rs.142,744 thousands. The Writ Petition filed by the Company is disposed by the HonÃble Bombay High Court on 7th November, 2009 quashing the said Demand Notice. Government of Maharashtra has however, filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of India against the aforesaid judgment of High Court.

(x) Under provisions of an Order dt. 16th August, 2006 issued by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), it is mandatory for CompanyÃs grid synchronised captive power plant to use a minimum of 4% renewable energy like wind power, co- generation etc. in its total consumption of energy generated from its own captive power plant with effect from FY 2007-08.

The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue along with method of review and re-fixing of price of calibrated iron ore effective on 1st of April each year in terms of agreement is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award is awaited. Moreover, the said supplier has also unilaterally increased the price of calibrated iron ore w.e.f. 1st April, 2007 and thereafter w.e.f. 1st April, every year. This issue too is to be settled by the aforesaid arbitral tribunal. However, pending such determination of final price, the supplier has raised invoices at an ad-hoc interim mutually agreed price on the marketing contractor who in turn, has billed the Company at the same price and which liability, has been fully accounted for.

(ii) Sales includes export incentives (net) Rs.69,076 thousands (Previous Year Rs.34,136 thousands). At the close of the year, the Company has, estimated and accounted, an amount of Rs.33,021 thousands (Previous Year Rs.10,417 thousands) as Export Incentives receivables, being the benefit on account of entitlement to import duty-free materials under Duty Entitlement Pass-Book Scheme, as detailed in Accounting Policy A (7) (iv).

(c) The management has, keeping in view the accounting policy A(8)(v) adopted by the Company, technically determined the realisable value of Contracts in Progress (including incidental income by way of disposal of plant and equipment at the end of the contract) compared to relatable revenues and claims raised by the Company in respect of its Road Construction Contracts. Although the outcome of the Road Construction activity cannot be estimated with reliability at present, it is the opinion of the management that in view of the substantially large claims by the Company aggregating Rs.1,147,274 thousands (Previous Year Rs.1,191,933 thousands) for incremental jobs executed, escalations and time over-runs, losses currently expected are already recognized till the close of the year. Since realization of these claims is a judgmental matter, on which auditors are not able to make an informed judgment, the auditors have placed reliance on the ManagementÃs judgment of the losses currently expected, reliasability of claims which is expected to be settled progressively by 31st March, 2012, and further losses if any, would be entirely recognized and fully expensed by that date.

(e) For the year under consideration, the Company has followed Accounting Standard 7 Ã ÃConstruction ContractsÃ and has given accounting treatment of revenue and costs associated with such contracts for the contracts of Industrial Machinery Division in place of Accounting Standard 9 Ã ÃRevenue RecognitionÃ. The effect of this change is that the revenue is higher by Rs. 222,708 thousands.

(iii) Expected return on plan assets is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations.

(c) In respect of certain employees of Road Construction Division, liability for gratuity is provided at actuals on the basis of amount due as at 31st March, 2011, since the projects are for shorter duration.

The Company has been legally advised that the supplier cannot seek this price revision under a concluded agreement and hence no provision is made in the Accounts for the same. The issue is referred to an arbitral tribunal whose award is awaited. Moreover, the said supplier has also unilaterally increased the price of calibrated iron ore w.e.f. 1st April, 2007 and thereafter w.e.f. 1st April, every year. This issue too is to be settled by the aforesaid arbitral tribunal. However, pending such determination of final price, the supplier has raised invoices at an ad-hoc interim price on the marketing contractor who in turn, has billed the Company at this price and which liability, has been fully accounted for.

(c) The management has, keeping in view the accounting policy A(7)|vi) adopted by the Company, technically determined the realisable value of Accumulated Direct Costs (including incidental income by way of disposal of plant and equipment at the end of the contract) compared to relatable revenues and claims raised by the Company in respect of its Road Construction Contracts. Although the outcome of the Road Construction activity cannot be estimated with reliability at present, it is the opinion of the management that in view of the substantially large claims by the Company aggregating Rs.l, 191,933,000/- for incremental jobs executed, escalations and time over-runs, losses currently expected are already recognized till the close of the year. Since realization of these claims is a judgmental matter, on which auditors are not able to make an informed judgment, the auditors have placed reliance on the Managements judgment of the losses currently expected, reusability of claims which is expected to be settled by 30th September, 2011, and determination of the period in which further losses if any, should be entirely recognized and fully expensed.

11. In accordance with Accounting Standard - 17 "Segment Reporting", segment information has been given in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and therefore, no separate disclosure on segment information is given in these financial statements.
