1. Corporate information

Uni Abex Alloy products Limited (‘company’) is a company domiciled in India, incorporated under the companies Act, 1956. The company is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company produces static, centrifugal castings and assemblies in heat and corrosion resistant alloys and is a leader in alloy steel castings for decanters and reformer tubes. The Company has its registered office at Liberty Building, Sir Vithaldas Thakersey Marg, Mumbai and its plant at Thane and also set up Greenfield project at Dharwad which is operational since November, 2013.

2. Significant accounting policies

a. Basis of preparation

The Company has prepared the financial statements which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2018, the statement of profit and loss, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 March 2018, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “financial statements”).

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost basis except for the following -

- Certain financial assets and liabilities have been measured at fair value (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments); and

- Defined benefit plans - measured using actuarial valuation.

The financial statements have been prepared using the significant accounting policies and measurement basis summarized below. These were used throughout all periods presented in the financial statements, except where the company has applied certain accounting policies and exemptions upon transition to Ind AS. Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current / non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when it is:

- Expected to be realized or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

- Held primarily for the purpose of trading

- Expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- 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 classified as current when:

- It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

- It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

- There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for atleast twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

b. Statement of compliance with Ind AS

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Ind AS notified by the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016. Accordingly, the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 are the Company’s first Ind AS financial statements.

For periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements

in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (the ‘Act’), read together with paragraph 7 of the companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAp) (hereinafter referred to as ‘Previous GAAP’) for its statutory reporting requirement in India before adopting Ind AS. The financial statements for the comparative year ended 31 March 2017 and opening balance sheet at the beginning of the comparative year as at 1 April, 2016 are also been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative information. Reconciliations and explanations of the effect of the transition from previous GAAp to Ind AS on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows are provided in note 40 to these financial statements.

c. Critical estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and exercise judgment in applying the accounting policies that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the year.

The management believes that these estimates are prudent and reasonable and are based upon the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions. Actual results could differ from these estimates and differences between actual results and estimates are recognized in the periods in which the results are known or materialized.

Below is an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgments or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed.

- Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of company’s assets are determined by the management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.

- Recoverability of deferred tax assets

The company reviews the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period. Significant judgments is involved in determining whether there will be sufficient taxable profits in the future to recover deferred tax assets.

- Defined benefit obligation

The cost of post-employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the long term nature of these plans such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. The assumptions used are disclosed in Note 35 to these financial statements.

- Fair value measurements

Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.

- Impairment of assets

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amounts of each asset (in case of non-financial assets) based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future cash flows and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

d. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognized only when it can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company. Amount disclosed as revenue are reported net of sales tax, goods and service tax, discount and applicable taxes (excluding excise duty, wherever applicable) which are collected on behalf of the government or on behalf of third parties.

i. Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized on transfer of risk and rewards of ownership of goods to the buyer and when no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of consideration that will be derived.

ii. Interest and Dividend

interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognized at the time the right to receive the payment is established.

iii. Export benefits/incentives

Export benefits / incentives are accounted on accrual basis in accordance with various government schemes in respect thereof and are shown under “other operating Revenue”.

iv. Other income

Other income is recognized when no significant uncertainty as to its determination or realization exists.

e. Leases

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee is classified as a finance lease.

A. The Company as lessee

i. Operating lease - Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

ii. Finance lease - Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of lease, at the lower of the fair value of the property or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the lease, using the effective interest rate method.

B. The Company as lessor

iii. Operating lease - Rental income from operating leases is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset is diminished.

iv. Finance lease - The Company does not have any finance leases as lessor.

f. Income taxes

Tax expense recognized in statement of profit and loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income (‘oci’) or directly in equity.

current income-tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income-tax Act. Current income-tax relating to items recognized outside statement of profit and loss is recognized outside statement of profit and loss (either in OCI or in equity).

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized in full for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss, unused tax credits or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future taxable income. This is assessed based on the company’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit. unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized 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 realized 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 recognized outside the statement of profit and loss is recognized outside the statement of profit and loss (either in the OCI or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Oci or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off such amounts.

g. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i. Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial assets or financial liability.

The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the company’s balance sheet) when:

- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows under an eligible transaction.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

ii. Classification

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:

- Debt instruments at amortized cost

- Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

- Debt instruments, derivatives and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

- Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

- Equity instruments measured at fair value profit or loss (FVTPL)

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Debt instruments at amortized cost

A ‘debt instrument’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

1. The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and

2. 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 amortized cost using the effective interest rate (the “EIR”) method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Amortized 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 amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

A ‘debt instrument’ is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

1. The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and

2. The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

The Company does not have any debt instruments classified in FVOCI category.

Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss

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.

The Company does not have any debt instruments classified in FVTPL category.

Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss. For all other equity instruments, the company may make an irrevocable election to present in the oci subsequent changes in the fair value. The company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable. If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVToci, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends and impairment loss, are recognized in oci. There is no recycling of the amounts from the oci to the statement of profit and loss, even on sale of the investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within categories of equity.

Currently, all investments in equity shares are classified as FVPL. There are no equity instruments classified as FVOCI.

iii. Impairment of financial assets in accordance with ind AS 109, the company applies the expected credit loss (“EcL”) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and credit risk exposures.

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 EIR of the instrument. Lifetime EcL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables. Simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime EcL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month EcL.

EcL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss.

iv. Classification and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at its fair value, adjusted by directly attributable transaction costs.

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. The Company does not have any financial liabilities classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the liabilities are derecognized.

Amortized 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 amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

h. Equity shares

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

i. Cash and cash equivalents

cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments (original maturity less than 3 months) that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and 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 and cash credits as they are considered an integral part of the company’s cash management.

j. Property plant and equipment (including capital work-in-progress)

property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. cost includes inward freight and expenses incidental to acquisition and installation net of tax credits, up to the point the asset is ready for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset''s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.

Assets acquired but not ready for use or assets under construction are classified under capital work in progress and are carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of properly plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets, and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss within ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’ respectively.

k. Intangible assets

Intangible assets include computer software which is stated at cost less accumulated amortization.

l. Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on property, plant & equipment on pro rata basis for the period of use, on the written down value method (WDV) as per the useful life of the assets prescribed under Schedule II to the companies Act, 2013, which is in line with the management’s estimate of useful life except for moulds. cost of moulds are capitalized and amortized over the period of 36 months which is the estimated useful life of the mould.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is being amortized over the life of the lease. Depreciation on assets under construction commences only when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation method, useful life and residual value are reviewed periodically and, when necessary, revised. No further charge is provided in respect of assets that are fully written down but are still in use.

m. Investment property

investment property are those that are held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the company. investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company in a period exceeding 1 year and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred.

investment properties are depreciated using the WDV method over their estimated useful lives, based on the rates prescribed under Schedule II to the companies Act, 2013.

n. Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amount of the non-financial assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal /external factors. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the assets (or where applicable, that of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs) is estimated as the higher of its net selling price and its value in use. impairment loss is 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. A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there were no impairment.

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:

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

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized 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 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

- Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

- Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

p. Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

q. Employee benefits

- Defined contribution plans

Provident fund benefit is a defined contribution plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into funds established under the Employees'' provident Funds and Miscellaneous provisions Act, 1952. The company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions after payment of the fixed contribution.

- Defined benefit plans

Gratuity is a post-employment benefit defined under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The defined benefit/obligation is calculated at or near the reporting date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The liability recognized in the financial statements in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs.

Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited or charged to the statement of Oci in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

- Other long-term employee benefits

Liability in respect of compensated absences is estimated on the basis of an actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from past experience and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged to statement of profit and loss in the year in which such gains or losses are determined.

- Short-term employee benefits

Expense in respect of other short term benefits is recognized on the basis of the amount paid or payable for the period during which services are rendered by the employee. r. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads. Cost includes excise duty in respect of finished goods, whichever applicable. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of first-in first-out basis.

s. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A provision is recognized when the company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on management estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the date of the balance sheet. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current management estimates.

contingent liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events, whose existence would be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, it is disclosed only when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

t. Earnings / (loss) per share

Basic earnings / (loss) per share are computed by dividing net profit / (loss) after tax (excluding other comprehensive income) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings / (loss) per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings / (loss) per share after considering the income tax effect of all finance costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit / (loss) per share.

u. Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of a company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses that relates to transactions with any of the Company’s other components, for which discrete financial information is available, and such information is regularly reviewed by the company’s chief operating Decision Maker (coDM) to make key decision on operations of the segments and assess its performance.

v. Rounding off

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule iii, unless otherwise stated.

3. Standards issued but not effective

i. Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:

On 28 March 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of Appendix B to Ind AS21 its financial statements.

ii. Ind AS 115 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers

ind AS 115 establishes a single model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ind AS 115 will supersede the current revenue recognition standard, ind AS 18 “Revenue” and ind AS 11 “construction contracts” when it becomes effective. The core principle of ind AS 115 is that, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an account that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods or services. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue. The company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ind AS 115 on its financial statements.

The fair value of investment property has been determined by an independent valuer, who has adequate professional experience as well as adequate expertise in the location and category of the investment property. The value is determined based on the rate prescribed by government authorities for commercial property. The resultant fair value estimates for investment property is included in level 2.

The company has no restrictions on the reliability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to either purchase, construct or develop investment properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements.

b) Terms and rights attached to equity shares

The company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of ''10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The equity shareholders are entitled to dividend to be proposed by the Board of Directors and to be approved by the shareholders in the General Meeting.

in the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

c) Terms and rights attached to preference shares

The company has only one class of preference share. The preference shares have referenced right on payment of dividend and repayment of capital over equity shareholders.

(i) The above term loans are secured by first exclusive charge over entire movable and immovable fixed assets of the company at Dharwad project including equitable mortgage of factory land and building.

The term loans from banks are also secured by collateral securities of:

- First hypothecation charge on entire movable fixed assets of the Company other than vehicles.

- First charge by way of equitable mortgage on factory land and building at Dharwad plant.

- Second charge by way of entire current assets of the company.

Term loans from financial institutions are also secured by collateral securities of:

- First charge by way of equitable mortgage on factory land and building at Thane plant.

(i) The above includes:

a) cash credit from Axis Bank Limited amounting to Rs,990.17 Lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs,814.53 Lakhs; 1 April 2016: Rs,583.75 Lakhs) which is secured by first charge by way of hypothecation of current assets of the company on pari-passu basis with the Zoroastrian co-operative Bank Limited.

The cash credit is also secured by collateral securities of:

1) First hypothecation charge on entire movable property, plant and equipment of the company.

2) First charge by way of equitable mortgage on factory land and building at Dharwad.

b) cash credit from the Zoroastrian co-operative Bank Limited amounting to Rs,1,193.46 Lakhs (31 March 2017: Rs,1,193.29 Lakhs; 1 April 2016: Rs,1,194.41 Lakhs) which is secured by hypothecation of current assets of the company on pari-passu basis with Axis Bank Limited under multiple banking arrangement.

c) overdraft from the Zoroastrian co-operative Bank Ltd. amounting to Nil (31 March 2017: Nil; 1 April 2016: Rs,517.69 lakh) which is secured against term deposits.

The following tables summaries the components of net benefit expense recognized in the statement of profit and loss and the amount recognized in the balance sheet for the defined benefit plan.

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed continuous services of five years or more gets a gratuity on death or resignation or retirement at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The scheme is funded with an insurance company in the form of a qualifying insurance policy.

These assumptions were developed by the management with the assistance of independent actuarial appraisers. Discount factors are determined close to each year end by reference to government bonds of relevant economic markets and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related obligation. other assumptions are based on management’s historical experience.

Sensitivity analysis

The financial results are sensitive to the actuarial assumptions. The changes to the Defined Benefit Obligations for increase in decrease of 1% from assumed salary escalation, withdrawal and discount rates are given below. The following table summarizes the effects of changes in these actuarial assumptions on the defined benefit
liability at 31 March 2018.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the same method (projected unit credit) as the defined benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet. The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one assumption while not changing all other assumptions. This analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions would occur in isolation of one another since some of the assumptions may be co-related.

Compensated absences

The obligation for compensated absences is recognized in the same manner as gratuity and net credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year is ''12.53 Lakhs (previous Year: net charge of ''7.90 Lakhs).
