Accounting Policies of Cimmco Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2018

1 Significant Accounting Policies

This note provides a list ofthe significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of thefinancial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

1.1 Basis of Preparation

(i) Compliance with Indian Accounting Standards

The financial statements comply in all material respects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) [Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other provisions ofthe Act.

(ii) Historical Cost Convention

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except certain financial assets and liabilities that is measured atfairvalue.

(iii) Currentversus Non-current Classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet based on current/non-currentclassification.

An asset is classified as current when it is :

a) expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the 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 equivalents 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:

a) it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle,

b) it is held primarilyfor the purpose oftrading,

c) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

d) there is no unconditional right to defer settlement ofthe 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.

(iv) Rounding of Amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs and decimals thereof (Rs. 00,000.00) as per the requirement of Schedule III to the Act, unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Property, Plant and Equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition ofthe items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable thatfuture economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost ofthe item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation Method, Estimated Useful Lives and Residual Values

Depreciation is calculated on pro-rata basis using the straight-line method to allocate theircost, net oftheir estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives in accordance with Schedule II to the Act. Each component of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the cost of that item is depreciated separately if its useful life differs from the other components ofthe item.

The useful lives ofthe property, plant and equipment as estimated by the management are as follows :

Leasehold land are amortised on straight-line basis over the primary lease period of99years ortheirestimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvement are amortised on straight - line basis over the primary lease period (ranging from 2 to 10 years) or their estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.

The useful lives, residual values and the method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end ofeach reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within ‘Other Income’/’Other Expenses’.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as ‘Capital Advances’ under ‘Other Non-current Assets’ and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready to use are disclosed under ‘Capital Work-in-progress’.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company had opted to fair value its property, plant and equipment as on at 1st April 2015 (date of transition to Ind AS) and had considered the same as deemed cost as at 1st April 2015.

1.3 Investment Properties

Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or 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 costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

1.4 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets have a finite useful life and are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Computer Software

Computer software for internal use, which is primarily acquired from third-party vendors is capitalised. Subsequent costs associated with maintaining such software are recognised as expense as incurred. Cost of computer software includes license fees and cost of implementation/system integration services, where applicable. Prototype

The Company had developed prototype for tractors which was capitalised.

Amortisation Method and Period

Computer software and prototype are amortised on a pro-rata basis using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of 5 years and 10 years (until impaired) respectively from the date they are available for use. Amortisation method and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end. Research and Development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditure on development that do not meet the specified criteria under Ind AS 38 on ‘Intangible Assets’ are recognised as an expense as incurred. Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company had elected to continue with the carrying value ofall of its intangible assets recognised as at 1st April 2015 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of intangible assets.

1.5 Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash-generating units).

1.6 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. However, material and other items held for use in 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 inventories comprises cost of purchases and all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost are assigned to individual items of inventory on weighted average basis. Net realisablevalue is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.7 Leases

As a Lessee

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

1.8 Investments and Other Financial Assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

-those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and

- those to be measured at amortised cost.

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

The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments :

- Amortised Cost : Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

- Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in the profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in ‘Other Income/Other Expenses’.

- Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the Statement of Profit and Loss within ‘Other Income’/’Other Expenses’ in the period in which it arises.

Equity Instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Changes in thefairvalue offinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in ‘Other Income/Other Expenses’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

(iii) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments, if any. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 37(iii) details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109,’Financial Instruments’, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) Derecognition of Financial Assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from thefinancial asset or

- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership ofthe financial asset, thefinancial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in thefinancial asset.

(v) Income Recognition Interest Income

Interest incomefrom debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, 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.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(vi) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis and available quoted market prices. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation ofvalue, and such value may never actually be realised.

2.9 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

1.10Trade Payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company priorto the end offinancial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.11 Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss overthe period ofthe borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all ofthe facility will be drawn down. In this case, thefee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

1.12 Other Financial Liabilities

Other financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions ofthe instrument. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at the fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.13 Compound Financial Instruments

Non-convertible, non-cumulative redeemable preference shares (NCNCRPS) are separated into liability and equity component based on the terms of the contract. On issuance of NCNCRPS, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a fair valuation principles as stated in IND AS 109. This amount is classified as financial liability measured at amortised cost until it is extinguished on redemption. The remainder ofthe proceeds is allocated to the benefit derived by the Company for obtaining the loan at below market rate ofinterest and is recognised in equity. The carrying amountofsuch equity is not re-measured in subsequentyears. Refer Note 14(a) for details of the NCNCRPS.

1.14 Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

1.15 Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held with banks/financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

1.16 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production ofan asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part ofthe cost ofthe asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year 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.

1.17 Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at thefairvalue ofthe consideration received or receivable. Amount disclosed as revenue are inclusive of excise duty and net of returns, trade discounts, rebates, value added taxes, goods and service tax (GST) and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each ofthe Company’s activities as described below. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Sale ofProducts

Revenue from sale of products and scrap sales is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership ofthe products have passed to the buyers as per the terms of contract.

Sale of Services

Revenue from services rendered is recognised as the services are rendered and is booked based on agreement / arrangements with theconcerned parties.

1.18 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in thefinancial statements ofthe Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (Rupees or Rs.), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the year-end, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the year-end exchange rates. The exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the year-end restatementare recognised in profitand loss.

1.19 Employee Benefits

(i) Short-term Employee Benefits

Liabilities for short-term employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end ofthe period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Post-employment Benefits Defined Benefit Plans

The liability recognised in the Balance Sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, if any. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation isdetermined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value ofplan assets. This cost is included in ‘Employee Benefits Expense’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. These are included in retained earnings in the Statement ofChanges in Equity.

Defined Contribution Plan

Contributions under defined contribution plan payable in keeping with the related scheme are recognised as expenses for the period in which the employee has rendered the service.

(iii) Other Long-term Employee Benefits

Long-term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation, as per projected unit credit method, done at the end of each financial year. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost ofsuch absences as the additional amount that itexpects to pay as a result ofthe unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

1.20 Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax credits and to unused tax losses.

The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition ofan asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences, tax credits and losses.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

1.21 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, 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 ofthe amount ofthe obligation. The expenses relating to a provision is recognised 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 risk 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.

Warranty Provisions

Provisions for warranty related costs are recognised when the product is sold. Initial recognition is based on historical experience i.e. claims received up to the year end and the management’s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. The initial estimate ofwarranty-related costs is revised annually.

Liquidated Damages

Liquidated damages on supply of materials are provided based on the contractual obligations or deduction made by the customers, as the case may be.

Litigation, Claims and Contingencies

The management estimates the provisions for pending litigations, claims and demands based on its assessment of probability for these demands crystalising against the Company in due course.

1.22 Contingencies

A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

1.23 Earnings / (Loss) Per Equity Share

(i) Basic Earnings / (Loss) Per Equity Share

Basic earnings / (loss) per equity share is calculated by dividing:

- the profit/(loss) attributable to owners ofthe Company

- by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during thefinancial year.

(ii) Diluted Earnings / (Loss) Per Equity Share

Diluted earnings / (loss) per equity share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings / (loss) per share to take into account:

- the after income tax effect of interest and otherfinancing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and

- the weighted average number ofadditional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion ofall dilutive potential equityshares.

1.24 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is responsiblefor allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance ofthe operating segments and has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company. Refer Note 35 for segment information presented.

1.25 GovernmentGrants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within ‘Other Income’.

1.26 Business Combinations

A common control business combination, involving entries or businesses in which all the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination and where the control is not transitory, is accounted for using the pooling of interest method.

Other business combinations, involving entities or businesses are accounted for using acquisition method.

1.27 RecentAccounting Pronouncements Standards Issued but not yet Effective

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2018 (the Rules) on March 28, 2018. The rules notify the new revenue standard Ind AS 115, Revenue from contracts with customers and also bring in amendments to existing Ind AS. The rules shall be effective from reporting periods beginning on or after April 1,2018 and cannot be early adopted. The Company intends to adopt these standards, as applicable, when they become effective.

Ind AS115, Revenuefrom Contractswith Customers The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Ind AS 115, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, March 28,2018, which is effectiveforaccounting periods beginning on or afterApril 1,2018. The new revenue standard is based on a transfer of control model, which fundamentally changes the basis of revenue recognition, presentation and disclosures. The standard could significantly change the amount and timing of revenue recognition. The core principle is described in a five-step model framework.

Amendments to Ind AS 40 Investment Property - Transfers of Investment Property

The amendments clarify that transfers to, or from, investment property can only be made if there has been a change in use that is supported by evidence. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in intention alone is not sufficient to support a transfer. The list of evidence for a change of use in the standard was recharacterised as a non-exhaustive list of examples and scope of these examples have been expanded to include assets under construction/development and not only transfer of completed properties.

Amendments to Ind AS 12 IncomeTaxes regarding Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets on Unrealised Losses

The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred taxes where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset’s tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets set out below:

- A temporary difference exists whenever the carrying amount of an asset is less than its tax base at the end of the reporting period.

- The estimate offuture taxable profit may include the recovery ofsome ofan entity’s assets for more than its carrying amount if it is probable thatthe entity will achieve this.

- Where the tax law restricts the source oftaxable profits against which particular types ofdeferred tax assets can be recovered, the recoverability ofthe deferred tax assets can only be assessed in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type.

- Tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated future taxable profit that is used to evaluate the recoverability of those assets. This is to avoid double counting the deductible temporary differences in such assessment.

The Company is evaluating the requirements of the above amendments and the effect on the financial statements is being evaluated.

1.28 Critical Estimates and Judgements

The preparation offinancial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions, that affect the application ofaccounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

This note provides an overview ofthe areas that involved a higher degree of judgement 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. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis ofcalculation foreach affected line item in thefinancial statements. The areas involving critical estimates orjudgements are:

- Employee Benefits (Estimation of Defined Benefit Obligation) - Notes2.19and 30

Post-employment benefits represent obligations that will be settled in the future and require assumptions to project benefit obligations. Post-employment benefit accounting is intended to reflect the recognition of future benefit costs over the employee’s approximate service period, based on the terms of the plans and the investment and funding decisions made. The accounting requires the Company to make assumptions regarding variables such as discount rate and salary growth rate. Changes in these key assumptions can have a significant impact on the defined benefit obligations.

- Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables - Notes 2.8(iii) and 37(iii)

The risk of uncollectibility of trade and other receivables is primarily estimated based on prior experience with, and the past due status of, doubtful receivables, based on factors that include ability to pay, bankruptcy and payment history. The assumptions and estimates applied for determining the provision for impairment are reviewed periodically.

- Estimation of Expected Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment - Notes 2.2 and 3(i)

Management reviews its estimate ofthe useful lives of property, plant and equipment at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical and economic obsolescence that may change the utility ofproperty, plantand equipment.

- Impairment of Non-financial Assets - Notes 2.5 and 3(i) Property, plantand equipment and intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount may not be recoverable.This requires determination of recoverable amount of such assets including estimation of value in use / fair value less costs of disposal.

- Contingencies - Notes 2.21,2.22 and 34

Legal proceedings covering a range of matters are pending against the Company. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is often difficult to predict the final outcome. The cases and claims against the Company often raise factual and legal issues that are subject to uncertainties and complexities, including the facts and circumstances of each particular case/claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. The Company consults with legal counsel and other experts on matters related to specific litigations where considered necessary.The Company accrues a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event an adverse outcome is possible or an estimate is not determinable, the matter is disclosed.

- Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets - Notes 2.20 and 16 Deferred income tax expense is calculated based on the differences between the carrying value ofassets and liabilities forfinancial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases that are considered temporary in nature. Valuation ofdeferred tax assets is dependent on management’s assessment of future recoverability of the deferred benefit. Expected recoverability may result from expected taxable income in the future, planned transactions or planned optimising measures. Economic conditions may change and lead to a different conclusion regarding recoverability.

- Warranties and Liquidated Damages - Notes 2.21 and 15 The Company’s product warranty obligations and estimations thereof are determined using historical information of claims received up to theyear end and the management’s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. Liquidated damages on supply of products are provided based on the contractual obligations or deduction made by the customers, as the case may be.

Changes in estimated frequency and amount offuture warranty claims/ liquidated charges, can materially affect warranty / liquidated damageexpenses.

- Fair Value Measurements - Notes 2.8(vi) and 36

When the fair values offinancial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, theirfairvalues are measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involvevariousjudgements and assumptions.

a) Freehold Land includefreehold land aggregating to Rs.4,734.83 Lacs (March 31,2017 : Rs. 4,734.83 Lacs) ofwhich original registered saledeed /conveyance deed/transfer deed/assignment deed are not traceable. However, Company has photo copy ofthe same.

b) Immovable properties includes land atGwalior measuring 20 bighas 8 biswa for which a dispute was raised by the third party for the possession of the land but the same was upheld in favour of the Company by both single as well as Division Bench ofthe Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

The Company primarily caters to the domestic market. The registered office of the Company is located at 756, Anandapur, EM-Bypass, Kolkata - 700107.

These financial statements were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on May 18,2017.

2 Basis of preparation

For all periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).

These financial statements for the year ended March 31,2017 have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind-AS") consequent to the notification of The Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (the Rules) (as amended) issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. These are the first Ind-AS financial statements of the Company, wherein the Company has prepared its Balance Sheet as at 1st April 2015 and financial statements for the year ended and as at31st March 2016 also as per Ind-AS.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain items which are measured at fair value such as investment in equity shares, Preference shares issued by the Company etc. (refer accounting policy on financial instruments). 2.1 Significant accounting policies

a. Foreign Currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in functional currency by the Company at spot rates at the date of transaction. The Company''s functional currency is Indian Rupees.

Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

b. Revenue Recognition Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment for them is made. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods.

Excise duty is a liability of the manufacturer irrespective of whether the goods are sold or not. Hence, the recovery of excise duty flows to the Company on its own account and accordingly revenue includes excise duty. However, Sales tax/value added tax (VAT) are collected on behalf of the government and accordingly, it is excluded from revenue.

c. 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 or 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 assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized 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 utilized.

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 utilized. 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 tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

For items recognized in Other Comprehensive Income or equity, deferred / current tax is also recognized in Other Comprehensive Income or equity.

d. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)

PPE is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises of purchase price inclusive of taxes, commissioning expenses, etc. up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. Expenditure directly attributable to expansion projects is capitalized. Administrative, general overheads and other indirect expenditure (including borrowing costs) incurred during the project period which are not directly related to the project nor are incidental thereto, are expensed.

PPE awaiting disposal are valued at the lower of written down value and net realizable value and disclosed separately. Capital work-in-progress includes machinery to be installed and construction &erection materials lying in stock.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

The Company has considered the residual values of the above assets at 5% of the original cost. It believes that these estimated useful lives and residual values are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial yearend and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of PPE and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 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 when the asset is derecognized.

e. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized over the useful economic life.

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 or loss when the asset is derecognized.

f. 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 capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the years 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.

g. 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 fulfillment 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.

Company as a lessee

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 Company is classified as a finance lease.

Finance leases are capitalized 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. 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 payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

h. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

(i) Raw materials, Components, Stores and Spares: These are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, material and other items held for use in 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 includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

(ii) Finished goods and work in progress: These are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods also includes excise duty. Cost is determined on weighted average basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

i. 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 asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s or cash-generating units (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. 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. When 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. j. Provisions General

Provisions are recognized 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. The expense relating to a provision is recognized 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. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Warranty provisions

Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognized when the product is sold. Initial recognition is based on historical experience i.e. claims received up to the year end and the management''s estimate of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period, computed on the basis of past trend of such claims. The initial estimate of warranty-related costs is revised annually.

Liquidated Damages

Liquidated damages on supply of materials are provided based on the contractual obligations or deduction made by the customers, as the case may be.

Onerous Contract

Provision is recognized for the contract, where unavoidable cost of meeting the obligation under the contract exceeds the economic benefits expected to be received. 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 fulfill it. k. 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.

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method done at the end of each financial year.

Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation, as per projected unit credit method, done at the end of each financial year. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve 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.

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 recognized 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.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss :

(i) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and

(ii) Net interest expense or income

In case of gratuity, current and noncurrent bifurcation is done as per Actuarial report.

l. Financial instruments

The Company recognizes financial assets and financial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, are added/deducted to the fair-value on initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement

Non-derivative financial instruments

(a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

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

(b) Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 " Financial Instruments" are measured. For equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income 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.

Equity instruments included within the Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Equity investments in Subsidiaries are carried at Cost.

(c) Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the Balance Sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

(d) Compound Financial Instrument

Non-convertible non cumulative redeemable preference shares (NCNCRPS) are separated into liability and equity component based on the terms of the contract. On issuance of NCNCRPS, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a fair valuation principles as stated in IND AS 109. This amount is classified as financial liability measured at amortized cost until it is extinguished on redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the benefit derived by the Company for obtaining the loan at below market rate of interest and is recognized in equity since it meets the criteria of equity as per IND AS 32 " Financial Instruments: Presentation". The carrying amount of such equity is not re-measured in subsequent years. Refer details of the NCNCRPS is note no. 14(a) of the financial statements.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired. A financial liability is de-recognized when obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

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.

Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach ‘for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade and other receivables.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. m. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprises 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.

n. Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss before OCI for the year attributable to equity shareholders 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 before OCI for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

o. Segment reporting

The Company has identified only one operating segments viz, Wagons & Engineering Products. The analysis of geographical segments is based on the areas in which customers of the Company are located.

p. 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. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

q. In March 2017, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2017, notifying amendment to Ind AS 7, ''Statement of cash flows''. The amendment is applicable from April 1, 2017. Amendment to Ind AS 7 :

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

29. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, as described below, that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures.

There are no significant area involving high degree of judgment or complexity.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(a) Employee benefit plans

The cost of the employment benefit plans and their present value are determined using actuarial valuations which involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. For further details refer to Note 30.

(b) Warranty

The Company estimates the provision for warranty based on past trend of sales. As at 31 March 2017, the estimated liability towards warranty amounted to approximately Rs. 18.19 lacs (March 31,2016: Rs 23.85 lacs, April 1,2015: Rs 9.99 lacs).

The provision towards warranty is not discounted as the management, based on past trend, expects to use the provision within twelve months after the Balance Sheet date.

(c) Expected Credit loss on lease rental receivable from Indian railways

The Company has measured and recognized expected credit loss (ECL) on lease rental receivable from Indian Railways as the management believes that such receivables being subject matter of arbitration would be collected over a longer period than the usual time required. The number of years that been considered for the purpose of discounting the cash flows is based on the past trend of other legal cases which were also subject matter of arbitration and was finally concluded at the Supreme Court''s level.

30. GRATUITY AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan which is unfunded. Every employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to gratuity on terms not less favorable than the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The Company also extends benefit of compensated absences to the employees, whereby they are eligible to carry forward their entitlement of earned leave for encashment. This is also an unfunded plan.

The following tables summaries the components of net benefit/ expense recognized in the statement of profit and loss and the balance sheet for the respective plans.


Mar 31, 2016

1. Corporate information

Cimmco Limited (the Company) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and existing under Companies Act 2013. Its shares are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of wagons and engineering goods. The Company primarily caters to the domestic market.

2. Summary of Significant accounting policies

a) 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. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention except in case of assets for which revaluation is carried out. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those used in the previous year, except for the changes in accounting policy explained below.

b) Changes in accounting policy Component Accounting

The Company has adopted component accounting as required under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 from 1 April 2015. The Company was previously not identifying components of fixed asset separately for depreciation purposes; rather, a single useful life/ depreciation rate was used to depreciate each item of fixed asset.

Due to application of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, the Company has changed the manner of depreciation for its fixed asset. Now, 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 having useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. These components are depreciated over their useful lives; the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of the principal asset. The Company has used transitional provisions of Schedule II to adjust the impact of component accounting arising on its first application. If a component has zero remaining useful life on the date of component accounting becoming effective, i.e., 1 April 2015, its carrying amount, after retaining any residual value, is charged to the statement of profit and loss. The carrying amount of other components, i.e., components whose remaining useful life is not nil on 1 April 2015, is depreciated over their remaining useful lives.

There are no fixed assets identified wherein the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset having useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset, hence there is no impact in financial statements due to above change in accounting policy.

c) 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.

d) Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be), less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The cost of acquisition comprises of purchase price inclusive of duties (net of Cenvat/VAT), taxes, incidental expenses, erection/commissioning/trial run expenses and borrowing cost etc, up to the date the assets are ready for intended use.

In case of revaluation of tangible fixed assets, the original cost as written up by the approved valuers is considered in the accounts and the differential amount is credited to revaluation reserve.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed assets and whose use, as per technical assessment, is expected to be irregular, are capitalized and depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets. Capital work-in-progress includes machinery to be installed and construction &erection materials lying in stock.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition 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. The Company identifies and determines cost of components significant to the total cost of the asset having useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining life.

e) Intangibles

Research costs are expensed as and when incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate all the following :

- The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale

- Its intention to complete the asset

- Its ability to use or sell the asset

- How the asset will generate future economic benefits

- The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset

- The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development.

Development expenditure recognized as an intangible asset is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of expected future sales from the related project, not exceeding ten years. The carrying value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use, or otherwise when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Computer software’s not being part of the hardware operating system, are assessed to have a useful life of 3 years and are capitalized as intangible fixed assets.

f) Depreciation & Amortization on tangible & intangible fixed assets

Tangible Assets

Leasehold land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease, i.e., 99 years.

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 identified components are depreciated over their useful life. The remaining asset is depreciated over the life of principle assets which is in line with the useful lives as mentioned in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. The Company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its fixed assets.

The management has estimated, supported by independent assessment by professionals, the useful lives of certain components of assets as 1 year to 10 years which are lower than those indicated in schedule II.

Intangible Assets

Computer software’s capitalized as intangible fixed assets are amortized over their useful life of 3 years on a straight line basis.

g) Leases

Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are recognized as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized.

Leases where the less or effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, 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.

h) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

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.

i) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on the internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the greater of the assets'' net selling price and value in use. In assessing the 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 risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses 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 assets over its remaining useful life.

A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on the 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 was no impairment. j) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a 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 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. k) Inventories

Raw materials & Components and Stores & spares Parts are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of finished goods 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 include expenses incidental to procurement thereof and determined on a weighted average basis.

Goods under process and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour cost and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. The cost of Finished goods and goods under process is determined on a weighted average basis. Cost of finished goods also includes excise duty. Obsolete/damaged stores and saleable scraps are valued at estimated 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.

l) 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

In case of sale of goods, revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer. Sales are net of returns, claims, trade discounts etc.

Sales exclude sales tax and value added tax (VAT) which are collected by the Company on behalf of the State Governments and deposited to the credit of the respective State Governments. Excise duty deducted from revenue is the amount that is included in the revenue and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable. m) Foreign Currency Transactions Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are initially 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.

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; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined. Exchange differences

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on restatement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise. Forward Exchange Contracts not intended for trading or speculation purposes

The premium or discount arising at the inception of the forward exchange contract is amortized as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of forward exchange contract is recognized as income or expense for the year. n) Retirement and other Employee Benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of Provident and Superannuation funds are defined contribution schemes and the contributions are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year when an employee renders the related service. There are no obligations other than the contribution payable to the respective funds. Gratuity liability is a defined benefit obligation and is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial period.

Long term compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation, as per projected unit credit method, made at the end of each financial period. Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve 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.

Actuarial gains/losses are taken to Statement of Profit and Loss and are not deferred.

o) Taxes on Income

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred taxes.

Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act. 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 of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized 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. If the Company has carry forward unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward tax losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence that such deferred tax assets can be realized against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount ofa 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. p) 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

Allocation of common costs

Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment on case to case basis by applying the ratio, appropriate to each relevant case.

Unallocated items

The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Company as a whole. q) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). 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 shares outstanding during the period, are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. r) 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 balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Provision for product related warranties cost is based on the claims received up to the year end as well as the management''s estimates of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period.

Liquidated damages on supply of materials are provided based on the contractual obligations or deduction made by the customers, as the case may be.

Provision is recognized for the contract, where unavoidable cost of meeting the obligation under the contract exceeds the economic benefits expected to be received. 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 fulfill it. s) 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.

t) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise of cash on hand, cash at bank and fixed deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. u) Excise duty & custom duty

Excise duty is accounted for at the point of manufacture of goods and accordingly is considered for valuation of finished goods stock lying in the factories as on the balance sheet date. Similarly, customs duty on imported materials in transit/lying in bonded warehouse is accounted for at the time of import / bonding of materials.

v) Measurement of EBITDA

As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss.

1. Corporate information

Cimmco Limited (the Company) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and existing under Companies Act 2013. Its shareware listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of wagons and engineering goods. The Company primarily caters to the domestic market 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAPJ. 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. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention, except in case of assets for which revaluation is carried out. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those used in the previous year, except for the change in accounting policy explained below

b) 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.Theapplicability 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. (i) 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 to the Companies Act 2013, the management has re-estimated useful lives and residual values of all its fixed assets and accordingly the depreciation charge for the current year is higher by Rs 149.28 lacs as compared to the previous year. Further, based on transitional provision provided in Note 7(b) of Schedule II, an amount of Rs 87.10 lacs has been adjusted with opening retained earnings. The management believes that depreciation rates currently used fairly reflect its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of fixed assets. (ii) Accounting for additional depreciation on account of revaluation of fixed assets

On March 31 2011, the Company revalued all its land and buildings existing as on that date Till year ended 31 March 2014, the Guidance Note on Treatment of Reserve Created on Revaluation of Fixed Assets issued by the ICAI allowed companies to transfer an amount equivalent to the additional depreciation arising due to upward revaluation of fixed assets from revaluation reserve to the statement of profit and loss. Accordingly, the Company was transferring an amount equivalent to additional depreciation arising due to upward revaluation of building from revaluation reserve to the statement of profit and loss. In contrast, Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 applicable from the current year, states that depreciable amount of an asset is the cost of an asset or other amount substituted for cost. Hence, in case of revalued assets, depreciation computed on the revalued amount needs to be charged to the statement of profit and loss, without any recoupment from revaluation reserve. Consequently, to comply with the Schedule II requirement, the Company has discontinued the practice of recouping the impact of additional depreciation from revaluation reserve. The management has decided to apply the revised accounting policy prospectively from accounting periods commencing on or after 1 April 2014.

On disposal of a previously revalued item of fixed asset, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the net book value is charged or credited to the profit and loss statement except that, to the extent such a loss is related to an increase which was previously recorded as a credit to revaluation reserve and which has not been subsequently reversed or utilized, it is charged directly to that account The amount standing in revaluation reserve following the retirement or disposal of an asset which relates to that asset is transferred to general reserve.

Had the Company continued its earlier policy of recouping the additional depreciation arising due to upward revaluation of fixed assets from the reserve created on revaluation of fixed assets, losses for the current year would have been lower by Rs 113.55 lacs. However, the change in accounting policy did not have any impact on the reserves and surplus balance as at 31 March 2015.

c) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates.

d) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be), less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The cost of acquisition comprises of purchase price inclusive of duties (net of Cenvat), taxes, incidental expenses, erection/commissioning/trial run expenses and borrowing cost etc, up to the date the assets are ready for intended use.

In case of revaluation of tangible fixed assets, the original cost as written up by the approved valuers is considered in the accounts and the differential amount is credited to revaluation reserve.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed assets and whose use, as per technical assessment, is expected to be irregular, are capitalized and depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets. Capital work-in-progress includes machinery to be installed and construction & erection materials lying in stock.

e) Depreciation & Amortization on tangible & Intangible fixed assets

Tangible Assets

Leasehold Land is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of lease, i.e. 99 years.

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 which is line with the useful lives as mentioned in Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. The Company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its fixed assets.

Useful life (years) Factory buildings 30

Other buildings 60

Plant and equipments 15

Furniture and fixtures 10

Office equipment 3-5

Vehicles 8

Depreciation on fixed assets added /disposed off during the period, is provided on pro-rata basis with reference to the date of addition/disposal. Intangible Assets Computer software,s capitalized as intangible fixed assets are amortized over their useful life of 3 years on a straight line basis.

f) Leases

Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are recognized as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are capitalized. Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets, 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.

g) Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

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.

h) Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the greater of the net selling price of the assets and value in use. In assessing the 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 risks specific to the asset.

Impairment losses 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 assets over their 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 was no impairment.

i) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual 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.

j) Inventories

Raw materials & Components and Stores & spares are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of finished goods 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 is determined on a weighted average basis. Goods under process and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes direct materials, labour cost and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity. The cost of finished goods and goods under process is determined on a weighted average basis Cost of finished goods also includes excise duty. Obsolete/damaged stores and saleable scraps are valued at estimated 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.

m) Taxes on Income

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred taxes. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the period and reversal of timing differences of earlieryears.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised 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 realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if thereis virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits. At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of a 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 realised. 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.

n) Segment Reporting

Identification of segments

p) Provisions & Contingencies

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement (without being discounted to their present value) are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements.

Contingent liabilities are not provided for and are disclosed by way of notes.

Provision for product related warranties cost is based on the claims received upto the year end as well as the management''s estimates of further liability to be incurred in this regard during the warranty period.

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.

t) Government grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant/ subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is netted off from the related expense over the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is intended to compensate.

Where the grant or subsidy relates to an asset, its value is deducted from the gross value of the asset concerned in arriving at the carrying amount of the related asset. u) Measurement of EBIDTA

As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss.

In case of revaluation of tangible fixed assets, the original cost as written up by the approved valuers is considered in the accounts and the differential amount is credited to revaluation reserve.

Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed assets and whose use, as per technical assessment, is expected to be irregular, are capitalized and depreciated over the residual life of the respective assets. Tangible fixed assets awaiting disposal are valued at the lower of written down value and net realizable value and disclosed separately.

Capital work-in-progress includes machinery to be installed and construction & erection materials lying in stock.

d) Depreciation & Amortisation on tangible & intangible fixed assets

In assessing the 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 risks specific to the asset.

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.
