(v) Critical judgements in determining lease term:

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

Estimation of Fair Value

The Company obtained independent valuations for its investment properties. The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Where such information is not available, the Company considers information from a variety of sources including:

• current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect those differences,

• discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows,

• capitalised income projections based upon a property’s estimated net market income, and a capitalisation rate derived from an analysis of market evidence.

The fair values of investment properties have been determined by “S. Pichaiya & associates”, who is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The main inputs used are the rental growth rates, expected vacancy rates, terminal yields and discount rates based on comparable transactions and industry data. All resulting fair value estimates for investment properties are included in level 3.

(iii) Leasing arrangements

The investment properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with rentals payable monthly. Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company assesses the indicators of impairment of investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures as per the requirement of Ind AS 36 at least on an annual basis. The carrying value of investments (including guarantees) being less than the networth of the subsidiary is an indicator of potential impairment. The Company has performed detailed impairment assessment and concluded that there is no impairment of carrying value of investments.

Disclosure required as per Section 186

FVOCI Equity investments

The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI equity investments reserve within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognised.

Secured borrowings and assets pledged as security:

a) The packing credit loans from Bank are secured by a charge on stocks and receivables of the Company and a pari passu charge on specific land & building of the Company.

Also refer note 47 for value of assets pledged as security.

d) The borrowings obtained by the company from banks and financial institutions have been applied for the purposes for which such loans were taken.

e) The Company has not been declared as a wilful defaulter by any bank or financial institution or government or any government authority.

(i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates Provision for Warranty

Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year and therefore the time value of money not being material, no adjustment has been warranted. Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

(i) Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave and sick leave.

a) The total provision for compensated absences amounts to '' 113.06 million and '' 90.57 million for March 31, 2023 & March 31, 2022 respectively.

The provision amount of '' 25.24 million (March 31, 2022: '' 20.98 million) is presented as current, since the Company expects to settle the full amount of current leave obligation in the next 12 months.

The above total provision includes sick leave provision amounting to '' 21.66 million and '' 11.51 million for year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Out of the total sick leave provision, the provision amount of '' 4.07 million (March 31, 2022: '' 2.13 million) is presented as current, calculated based on expected availment by the employees within next 12 months.

(ii) Defined contribution plans Provident Fund:

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.

Superannuation Fund:

The Company contributes a percentage of eligible employees salary towards superannuation fund administered by Elgi Equipments Superannuation Fund and managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is '' 90.65 million (March 31, 2022 -'' 85.43 million).

(iii) Post-employment benefit obligations - Gratuity

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of Gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity is a funded plan and the Company makes contribution to recognised fund in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (Present Value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

The expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio during the year.

(vii) Risk exposure

The Company operates the Gratuity Plan through Elgi Equipments Gratuity Fund, which invests in Life Insurance Corporation of India.

Asset Volatility: A large portion of the investment made by the LIC is in government bonds and securities and other approved securities. Hence, the Company is not exposed to the risk of asset volatility as at the balance sheet date.

Changes in bond yield: A decrease in bond yield will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in value of plan’s bond holdings.

Inflation Risk: In the pension plans, the pensions in the payment are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

*excluding investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, carried at cost less impairment losses aggregating to INR 1,705.90 million (March 31, 2022 - INR 1,705.90 million).

The equity securities are not held for trading; the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value through OCI rather than profit or loss as these are strategic investments and the Company considers this to be more relevant.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

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

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

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Investment in unquoted equity instrument (First Energy TN1 Pvt Ltd), pursuant to power purchase arrangement, is determined to have cost as an appropriate measure of fair value due to restriction to sell at face value.

There are no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

The company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

• the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, dealer deposits, cash and bank balances, deposits with financial institutions, loans to subsidiaries, borrowings and other current financial liabilities and financial assets are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values for loan to subsidiaries, loans to employees were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counter party credit risk. The security deposits are payable on demand and hence their carrying amount is considered as fair value.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The Company’s risk management is carried out by treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Company''s treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and nonderivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

(i) Credit risk management

For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.

The Company assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal and external ratings in accordance with the limits set by the Company. The finance function consists of a separate team who assess and maintain an internal credit rating system. The compliance with the credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by the finance function.

(ii) Security

For some trade receivables, the Company may obtain security in form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letter of credit, which can be called upon if counter party is in default under the terms of the agreement.

a) Expected credit loss for loans, security deposits and investments

The entity''s investments and deposits at amortized cost are considered to have low credit risk since they have a low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.

For loans to related parties and employees, the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of loan and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the loan as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. The following indicators are considered:

• internal credit rating

• actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations

• actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower

• significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower

• macroeconomic information (such as market interest rates or growth rates)

The resultant internal credit rating for loans, deposits and investments is C1. The entity has estimated the 12-month expected credit loss in this scenario and the estimated gross carrying amount at default is '' Nil (March 31, 2022: '' Nil). There is no expected credit loss recognised for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

The Company also has provided guarantee for loans availed by subsidiaries (Refer Note 50), for which the Company assesses credit risk by considering the risk of default occuring on the loan to which the guarantee relates i.e., the risk that the specified debtor will default on the contract.

The entity carries out a review of the liquidity and solvency of the subsidiaries to which the guarantee has been provided as part of its strategic business reviews. The entity also corroborates its assessment with the repayments of receivables and loans by the subsidiaries to the entity. Based on the assessment performed, no expected credit loss provision has been made in respect of financial guarantee provided to subsidiaries for the year ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and assessed for its recoverability.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 12. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers have sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and the risk of default is negligible.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 24 months before the reporting date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables, if any.

Trade receivables and contract assets are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 720 days past due and the same is considered as credit impaired.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as loss allowances under other expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

The Company has computed the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

(B) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

The credit facility sanctioned by the banks are subject to renewal every year.

Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time in INR and can be renewed for further period of 1 year.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:

a. all non-derivative financial liabilities, and

b. net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(ii) Price risk

The Company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI.

To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

The majority of the Company''s equity instruments are publicly traded and are included in the Nifty 50 index. Sensitivity

The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the index on the Company’s equity and total comprehensive income for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased by 5% or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s equity instruments moved in line with the index.

43 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Contingent liabilities

(a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts

(i) The company has disputed demands for excise duty, service tax and sales tax and other matters amounting to '' 17.87 million and '' 16.08 million as on March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 respectively. The company has deposited '' 2.83 million and '' 2.24 million against the above mentioned disputes as on March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company has filed appeals with appropriate authorities of Central Excise and Sales Tax Department against their claims.

(ii) The Company had deposited a sum of '' 18.80 million with Railways department of the Government of India in respect of a Road Under Bridge (RUB) project undertaken by the Railways near the Company’s factory at Kodangipalayam village. As Railways had planned for a Limited Use Subway and as the RUB project undertaken would benefit the public at large, the deposit was made as directed by the Madras High Court as an interim measure, pending finality as to whether the Company has to bear the full cost or only the differential cost. The Company received an unfavourable order on June 03, 2020 from the single judge of the Madras High Court holding that neither party is required to make any payment to the other. The Company filed an appeal against this order before the Division bench and was able to get the stay of the order of the single judge. The Company is reasonably confident of defending the case successfully to a large extent, however, in order to be realistic and out of abundant caution, the Company has decided to make a provision of '' 7.71 Million for the year ended March

31, 2023 based on a possibility that the Company may be requested by the court to bear the incremental cost of the RUB. This provision should not be construed as an admission of liability under any circumstances and has been made purely as an accounting prudence.

(iii) The Company has evaluated the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of "Vivekananda Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees'' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant impact and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial Statements.

(iv) The Company received a summon during the latter part of the year from an appropriate authority under Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (''FEMA'') seeking information primarily relating to imports and exports including transactions pertaining to earlier years.

Estimation of fair value

a) For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company obtained independent valuations for its investment properties. The best evidence of fair value is current prices in an active market for similar properties. Where such information is not available, the Company considers information from a variety of sources including:

• Current prices in an active market for properties of different nature or recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect those differences,

• Discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows,

• Capitalised income projections based upon a property’s estimated net market income, and a capitalisation rate derived from an analysis of market evidence.

The fair values of investment properties have been determined by “S. Pichaiya & associates”, who is a registered valuer as defined under rule 2 of Companies (Registered Valuers and Valuation) Rules, 2017. The main inputs used are the rental growth rates, expected vacancy rates, terminal yields and discount rates based on comparable transactions and industry data. All resulting fair value estimates for investment properties are included in level 3.

b) For the year ended March 31, 2021, the fair values of investment properties were determined with reference to the guideline value as determined by the Government for the location at which the property is located, increased by the depreciated value of buildings. All the resulting fair value estimates of investment properties are included in Level 2. Guideline values were revised by the Government of Tamil Nadu with effect from June 9, 2017.

(iii) Leasing arrangements

The investment properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with rentals payable monthly. Lease income from operating leases where the group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Terms and rights attached to equity shares:

The Company has one class of equity shares having a par value of '' 1/- per share. Each shareholder is eligible for one vote per share held. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting, except in the case of interim dividend. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to their shareholding. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the amount of Final dividend per share recognised as distributions to equity shareholders is '' 0.80 per share (March 31, 2021 '' Nil).

On September 28, 2020, the Company allotted bonus equity shares of '' 1/- each, credited as fully paid up equity shares to the holders of the existing equity shares of the Company in the proportion of one equity share of the Company for every one existing equity shares of the Company, by way of capitalizing a part of the securities premium account of the Company.

Also, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented are adjusted retrospectively for the above-mentioned bonus issue.

c) The borrowings obtained by the company from banks and financial institutions have been applied for the purposes for which such loans were taken.

d) The Company has not been declared wilful defaulter by any bank or financial institution or government or any government authority.

(i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates Provision for Warranty

Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year and therefore the time value of money not being material, no adjustment has been warranted. Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

(i) Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave and sick leave.

a) The total provision for compensated absences amounts to '' 79.07 million and '' 67.73 million for March 31, 2022 & March 31, 2021 respectively.

The provision amount of '' 18.85 million (March 31, 2021: '' 15.09 million) is presented as current, since the company expects to settle the full amount of current leave obligation in the next 12 months.

The above Total provision includes sick leave provision amounts to '' 11.51 million for year ended March 31, 2022.

(ii) Defined contribution plans Provident Fund:

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.

Superannuation Fund:

The company contributes a percentage of eligible employees salary towards superannuation fund administered by Elgi Equipments Superannuation Fund and managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is '' 85.43 million (March 31, 2021 -'' 85.36 million).

(iii) Post-employment benefit obligations - Gratuity

The company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of Gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity is a funded plan and the company makes contribution to recognised fund in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

The expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio during the year.

(vii) Risk exposure

The Company operates the Gratuity Plan through Elgi Equipments Gratuity Fund, which invests in Life Insurance Corporation of India.

Asset Volatility: A large portion of the investment made by the LIC is in government bonds and securities and other approved securities. Hence, the Company is not exposed to the risk of asset volatility as at the balance sheet date.

Changes in bond yield: A decrease in bond yield will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in value of plan’s bond holdings.

Inflation Risk: In the pension plans, the pensions in the payment are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

The equity securities which are not held for trading, the Company has made an irrecovable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value through OCI rather than profit or loss as these are strategic investments and the Company considers this to be more relevant.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

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

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

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

There are no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the year.

The company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

• the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, dealer deposits, cash and bank balances, deposits with financial institutions, current loans to subsidiaries, borrowings and other current financial liabilities and financial assets are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values for non-current loan to subsidiaries, loans to employees were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk. The security deposits are payable on demand and hence their carrying amount is considered as fair value.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

The company’s risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company’s treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favourable derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

(i) Credit risk management

For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.

The Company assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal and external ratings in accordance with the limits set by the Company. The finance function consists of a separate team who assess and maintain an internal credit rating system. The compliance with the credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by the finance function.

(ii) Security

For some trade receivables, the Company may obtain security in form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letter of credit, which can be called upon if counter party is in default under the terms of the agreement. However, the Company has not obtained any such securities for its trade receivables outstanding at the reporting date.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The company assigns the following internal credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of the financial asset. The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:

a) Expected credit loss for loans, security deposits and investments

The estimated gross carrying amount at default is '' Nil (March 31, 2021: '' 541.20 million) for Investments and loans and deposits. There is no expected credit loss recognised for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and assessed for its recoverability.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 12. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers has sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and the risk of default is negligible.

(b) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

The credit facility sanctioned by the banks are subject to renewal every year.

Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time in INR and can be renewed for further period of 1 year.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:

a) all non-derivative financial liabilities, and

b) net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(c) Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and AUD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The risk is managed by the Company by entering into Forward Contracts.

(ii) Price risk

The Company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI.

To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

Sensitivity

The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the index on the Company’s equity and total comprehensive income for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased by 5% or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s equity instruments moved in line with the index.

Contingent liabilities

(a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts

(i) The company has disputed demands for excise duty, service tax and sales tax and other matters amounting to '' 16.08 million and '' 54.42 million as on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 respectively. The company has deposited '' 2.24 million and '' 44.08 million against the above mentioned disputes as on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company has filed appeals with appropriate authorities of Central Excise and Sales Tax Department against their claims.

(ii) The Company had deposited a sum of '' 18.80 million with Railways department of the Government of India in respect of a Road Under Bridge (RUB) project undertaken by the Railways near the Company’s factory at Kodangipalayam village. As Railways had planned for a Limited Use Subway and as the RUB project undertaken would benefit the public at large, the deposit was made as directed by the Madras High Court as an interim measure, pending finality as to whether the Company has to bear the full cost or only the differential cost. The Company received an unfavourable order on June 03, 2020 from the single judge of the Madras High Court holding that neither party is required to make any payment to the other. The Company filed an appeal against this order before the Division bench and was able to get the stay of the order of the single judge. As the Company is reasonably confident of defending the case successfully to a large extent, no provision has been made in the books of account yet.

(iii) The Company has evaluated the impact of the recent Supreme Court Judgment in case of “Vivekananda Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal” and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of “basic wages” of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant impact and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial Statements.

*The differences are primarily due to non-consideration of general ledger adjustments such as customer advances, other unadjusted credits and cut off adjustments which have a decreasing effect on the balances reported. This is partially offset by non-consideration of goods in transit, loose tools, spares, provisions for both inventory and book debts and overhead valuation adjustments.

1 Critical estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

This note provides an overview of the 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 of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Estimation of fair value

a) The fair values of investment properties have been determined with reference to the guideline value as determined by the Government for the location at which the property is located, increased by the depreciated value of buildings. All the resulting fair value estimates of investment properties are included in Level 2.

b) Guideline values has been revised by the Government of Tamil Nadu with effect from June 9, 2017.

Net debt reconciliation

This section sets out an analysis of net debt and the movements in net debt for each of the periods presented.

( i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates Provision for Warranty

Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year and therefore the time value of money not being material, no adjustment has been warranted. Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

Provision for Financial Guarantee

The Company has provided financial guarantee to lenders of money to its subsidiaries. In accordance with the expected credit loss model prescribed under Ind AS, the Management had recognised a provision for these guarantees based on its best estimate of the outflow expected to be paid in the event such guarantees are invoked by the respective lenders. These guarantees had been funded during the year.

(ii) Movements in provisions

Movements in each class of provision during the financial year, are set out below: 26 (a) Employee benefit obligations

(i)Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Company’s liability for earned leave.

The total provision for compensated absences amounts to Rs.70.38 million and Rs.72.36 million for March 31, 2018 & March 31, 2017 respectively.

The provision amount of Rs.36.51 million (March 31, 2017: Rs.36.45 million) is presented as current, since the company expects to settle the full amount of current leave obligation in the next 12 months.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

Provident Fund:

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans. Contributions are made to provident fund in India for employees at the rate of 12% of basic salary as per regulations. The contributions are made to registered provident fund administered by the government. The obligation of the Company is limited to the amount contributed and it has no further contractual nor any constructive obligation.

Superannuation Fund:

The company contributes a percentage of elgible employees salary towards supernnauation fund administered by Elgi Equipments Superannuation Fund and managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India.

The expense recognised during the period towards defined contribution plan is Rs.68.84 million (March 31, 2017Rs.57.11 million)

(iii) Post-employment benefit obligations - Gratuity

The company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of Gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity is a funded plan and the company makes contribution to recognised fund in India. The Company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

The expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the assessment made at the beginning of the year on the return expected on its existing portfolio, along with the estimated increment to the plan assets and expected yield on the respective assets in the portfolio during the year.

(vii) Risk exposure

The Company operates the Gratuity Plan through Elgi Equipments Gratuity Fund which invests in Life Insurance Corporation of India.

Asset Volatility: A large portion of the investment made by the LIC is in government bonds and securities and other approved securities. Hence, the Company is not exposed to the risk of asset volatality as at the balance sheet date.

Changes in bond yield: A decrease in bond yield will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in value of plan’s bond holdings.

Inflation Risk: In the pension plans, the pensions in the payment are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

(viii) Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 9.52 years (March 31, 2017 - 10.49 years).

The following are the expected benefit payments in future.

Goods and Service Tax (GST) has been effective from July 01, 2017. Consequently, excise duty, value added tax (VAT), service tax etc. have been replaced with GST. Until June 30, 2017, ‘Sale of products’ included the amount of excise duty recovered on sales. With effect from July 01, 2017, ‘Sale of products’, excludes the amount of GST recovered. Accordingly, revenue from ‘Sale of products’ and ‘Revenue from operations’ for the year ended March 31, 2018 are not comparable with those of the previous year.

(i) All dividends from equity investments designated at FVOCI relate to investments held at the end of reporting period. There were no investments derecognised during the reporting period.

(ii) Government grants are related to import duties saved on import of property, plant and equipments. The Company has an export obligation calculated at a specified percentage of duty saved, which has to be fulfilled within a specified period from the date of import.There are no other unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attaching to these grants.

(i) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table.

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

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

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

There are no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year.

The company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

(ii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

-the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments

-the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date -the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, cash and bank balances, current loans to employees and subsidiaries, borrowings and other current financial liabilities and financial assets are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values for loans to employees were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk. The security deposits are payable on demand and hence their carrying amount is considered as fair value.

For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to their fair values.

2 Financial risk management

The company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact of hedge accounting in the financial statements

The company’s risk management is carried out by a central treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company’s treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the company’s operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

(i) Credit risk management

Credit risk is managed on a company basis. For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted.

For other financial assets, The company assesses and manages credit risk based on internal credit rating system. The finance function consists of a separate team who assess and maintain an internal credit rating system.

Internal credit rating is performed on a company basis for each class of financial instruments with different characteristics. The company assigns the following credit ratings to each class of financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.

C1 : High-quality assets, negligible credit risk

C2 : Doubtful assets, credit-impaired

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Especially the following indicators are included -

- Internal credit rating

- External credit rating (as far as available)

- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations

- Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower

- Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower

- Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements

- Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers in The company and changes in the operating results of the borrower.

Macro economic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.

(ii) Provision for expected credit losses

The Company provides for expected credit loss based on the following:

For the years ended March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017

(a) Expected credit loss for loans, security deposits and investments

The estimated gross carrying amount at default is Rs.552.47 million (March 31, 2017: Rs.538.38 million) for Investments and loans and deposits. Consequently expected credit loss of an amount of Rs.33.75 million for the year ended March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: Rs.52.91 million) has been recognised.

(b) Expected credit loss for trade receivables under simplified approach

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an internal credit rating system. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and assessed for its recoverability.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 11. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers has sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and the risk of default is negligible.

(iv) Reconciliation of loss allowance provision - Trade receivables

(B) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

(i) Financing arrangements

The company had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

The credit facility sanctioned by the banks are subject to renewal every year.

Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time in INR and can be renewed for further period of 1 year.

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:

a) all non-derivative financial liabilities, and

b) net and gross settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(C) Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

The company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and AUD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from foreign currency denominated financial instruments.

(ii) Price risk

The Company’s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI.

To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

Sensitivity

The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the index on the Company’s equity and profit for the period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased by 5% or decreased by 5% with all other variables held constant, and that all the Company’s equity instruments moved in line with the index.

Other components of equity would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as fair value though other comprehensive income.

3 Capital management

(a) Risk management

The company’s objectives when managing capital are to

- provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

The current gearing ratio of the Company is as follows:

(i) Loan covenants

The company has complied with all the loan covenants throughout the reporting period.

(b) Dividends

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition after making necessary adjustments for de-commissioning liabilities. This exemption can also be used for intangible assets covered by Ind AS 38 Intangible Assets and investment property covered by Ind AS 40 Investment Properties.

Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure all of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property at their previous GAAP carrying value adjusted for the impact of outstanding government grant relating to purchase of property plant and equipment and use the value so arrived as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property.

A.1.3 Designation of previously recognized financial instruments

Ind AS 101 allows an entity to designate investments in equity instruments at FVOCI on the basis of the facts and circumstances at the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its investments in equity investments.

A.1.4 Leases

Appendix C to Ind AS 17 requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS, except where the effect is expected to be not material. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts / arrangements.

A.1.5 Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures

If a first-time adopter measures investments in subsidiary, joint venture or associate at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27, Ind AS 101 allows the entity to measure such investments at one of the following amounts in its separate opening Ind AS Balance Sheet.

(a) Cost determined in accordance with Ind AS 27 or

(b) Deemed cost.

The deemed cost of such an investment shall be its

(i) fair value at the entity''s date of transition to Ind AS in its separate financial statements or

(ii) previous GAAP carrying amount at that date.

The above options can be selected for each investment. Accordingly the Company has elected to measure all investments in subsidiary and joint venture at their previous GAAP carrying value, except for investments in its subsidiary SAS Belair (France) and Elgi Compressors Do Brazil Imp. E. Exp. LTDA which have been measured at fair value on the date of transition.

A.1.6 Joint Operations

Ind AS 101 provides an exemption for changing from equity method to accounting for share of assets and liabilities. As per the exemption, when changing from the equity method to accounting for share of assets and liabilities in respect of its interest in a joint operation, an entity shall, at the date of transition to Ind AS, derecognize the investment that was previously accounted for using the equity method and any other items that formed part of the entity''s net investment in the arrangement and recognize its share of each of the assets and the liabilities in respect of its interest in the joint operations.

The Company has elected to apply this exemption for its joint operation.

A.2 Ind AS mandatory exceptions A.2.1 Estimates

An entity''s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at April 1, 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:

-Investment in equity instruments carried at FVPL or FVOCI;

-Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.

-Provision for constructive obligations.

A.2.2 Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification and measurement of financial assets on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS.

A.2.3 Impairment of financial assets

Ind AS 101 provides that if at the date of transition the determination of increase in credit risk since initial recognition is difficult, loss allowance to be provided at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date until de-recognition.

*The previous GAAP figures have been reclassified to conform to Ind AS presentation requirements for the purposes of this note.

C. Notes to first-time adoption

4. Joint Operations

Under previous GAAP, L.G. Balakrishnan & Bros. and Elgi Services were accounted for using the equity method. Under Ind AS, L.G. Balakrishnan & Bros. and Elgi Services have been classified as jointly controlled entities and accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method since the partnership does not have a separate legal form.

The Company has determined its interest in the assets and liabilities relating to the joint operation on the basis of its rights and obligations in a specified proportion in accordance with the contractual arrangement. The Company has measured the initial carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities by disaggregating them from the carrying amount of the investment of Rs, 124 million and Rs, 0.4 million in L.G. Balakrishnan & Bros. and Elgi Services respectively at the date of transition to Ind AS on the basis of the information used by the entity in applying the equity method.

5. Classification - Debt vs. Equity and corresponding impact of changes in foreign exchange rate

Under the previous GAAP there was no separate standard on financial instruments and classification of financial instrument into debt or equity was based on the legal form of the instrument. Under Ind AS the accounting and classification of Financial Instruments are governed by Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 32. These standards provide for classification and measurement of instruments based on substance rather than legal form.

The Company has assessed the amounts previously classified as loan under the earlier GAAP and has determined the same to be in the nature of equity per the requirements of Ind AS. Accordingly a sum of

Rs. 934.75 million as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 -Rs. 701.65 million) has been reclassified from loans to investment in subsidiaries.

Consequent to above reclassification, the said amounts no longer satisfy the definition of monetary item under Ind AS 21. Accordingly the Company has reversed foreign exchange gain amounting to Rs. 55.51 million with corresponding decrease in profit for the year ended March 31, 2016.

6. Deemed Cost for Investment in Subsidiaries

As detailed in Note A.1.5 above, the Company has elected to measure all investments in subsidiaries and joint venture at their previous GAAP carrying value, except for investments in its subsidiary SAS Belair (France) and Elgi Compressores Do Brazil Imp. E. Exp.

LTDA which have been measured at fair value on the date of transition. Accordingly the Company has accounted for a loss of of Rs. 546.80 million in its opening retained earnings as at April 1, 2015, being the difference between the fair value of the investments and their carrying amount under previous GAAP.

7. Fair valuation of investments

Under the previous GAAP, long-term investments in equity instruments were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments. Under Ind AS, these investments (other than interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) are required to be measured at fair value.

Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI have been recognized in FVOCI - Investment Fair valuation reserve as at the date of transition and subsequently in the statement of other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2016. Consequent to the above, the total equity as at March 31, 2016 has increased by Rs. 42.41 million (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 40.83 million) and other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs. 1.58 million.

8. Investment property

Under the previous GAAP, investment properties were presented as part of non-current investments. Under Ind AS, investment properties are required to be separately presented on the face of the balance sheet. Accordingly a sum of Rs. 57.95 million as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 58.78 million) has been reclassified from non-current investments to investment property. There is no impact on the total equity or profit as a result of this adjustment.

9. Expected Credit Loss

Under the previous GAAP, allowance for financial assets were recognized upon the occurence of the loss event. As per Ind AS 109, the Company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowances for financial assets. As a result, the allowance for trade receivables has increased by Rs. 33.75 million and allowance for impairment of investment has increased by Rs. 19.66 million as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 21.62 million and nil respectively ). Consequently, the total equity as at March 31, 2016 has decreased by Rs. 53.41 million (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 21.62 million) and profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 has decreased by Rs. 31.79 million.

10. Provisions for constructive obligations

Under the previous GAAP, provisions were not recognized for constructive obligations. Under Ind AS, provisions are measured for present obligations (both legal and constructive) as a result of a past event where 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. Accordingly the Company has recognized a provision for certain after sales expenses resulting from a constructive obligation amounting to Rs. 65.53 million as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 -Rs. 45.65 million). Consequently, the total equity as at March 31, 2016 has decreased by Rs. 65.53 million (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 45.65 million) and profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 has decreased by Rs. 19.88 mil I ion.

8. Proposed dividend

Under the previous GAAP, dividend proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as an adjusting event. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend including dividend distribution tax was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividend is recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend of Rs. 190.71 Million as at March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 - Rs. 190.71 Million) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently the amount approved by the shareholders amounting to Rs. 190.71 million for the period 2014-15 has been recognized as a liability in the year ended March 31, 2016.

9. Forward Contracts not designated as hedging instruments

Under the previous GAAP, the Company applied the requirements of Accounting Standard 11, ''The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates'' to account for forward exchange contract for hedging foreign exchange risk related to recognized trade payables. At the inception of the contract, the forward premium was separated and amortized as expense over the tenure of the contract. The underlying trade payables and the forward contract were restated at the closing spot exchange rate. Under Ind AS, derivatives which are not designated as hedging instruments are fair valued with resulting changes being recognized in Statement of profit and loss. The above transition resulted in a net loss of Rs. 0.82 Million for the year ended March 31, 2016.

10. Revenue

Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of products is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss as part of expenses. This change has resulted in an increase in total revenue and total expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016 by Rs. 551.58 Million. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.

Under the previous GAAP, discounts in the nature of cash and volume discount have presented as item of expense in the statement of profit and loss account. However under Ind AS revenue is to be recognized at the fair value of consideration received or receivable after considering such discounts. Consequently, revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2016 has decreased by Rs. 35.14 million with a corresponding decrease in other expenses. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.

Consequent to the above adjustments, net impact on revenue for the year ended March 31, 2016 is an increase of Rs. 516.44 million with no impact on total equity and profit.

11. Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased by Rs. 28.16 Million. There is no impact on the total equity as at March 31, 2016.

12. Provision for Financial Guarantee

The Company has provided financial guarantee to lenders of money to its subsidiary Elgi Equipments (Zhejiang) Limited and its erstwhile subsidiary Belair SAS. Under the previous GAAP financial guarantees so provided were disclosed as contingent liability. Under Ind AS, such guarantees are to be recorded initially at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with Ind AS 37 and the amount initially recognized less cumulative amortization, where appropriate. Accordingly the management has recognized a provision for these guarantees based on its best estimate of the outflow expected to be paid in the event such guarantees are invoked by the respective lenders amounting to Rs. 68.86 million for the year ended March 31, 2016 (April 1, 2015 - Rs. nil).

13. Government Grant

Under the previous GAAP, the Company had reduced the Government grants related to procurement of assets from the carrying amount of fixed asset. Under Ind AS, asset related government grants shall not be reduced from the carrying amount of asset but are required to be presented as deferred income and amortized over the useful life of the asset. Consequently the Company has recognized the outstanding government grant as at the transition date amounting to Rs. 64.78 million (Non current portion - Rs.55.85 million and current portion -Rs. 8.93 million) pertaining to capital goods imported under EPCG Scheme and recognized the same as deferred income with the corresponding impact in property, plant and equipment. As a result of the above recognition, there has been an increase in depreciation expense amounting to Rs. 8.94 million with a corresponding increase in other income for the year ended March 31, 2016. There is no impact on the total equity as at March 31, 2016 and April 1, 2015 as a result of the above transition.

14. Deferred tax

Deferred tax has been recognized on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS.

15. Retained earnings

Retained earnings as at April 1, 2015 has been adjusted consequent to the above Ind AS transition adjustments.

16. Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as ''other comprehensive income'' includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans and fair value gains or (losses) on FVOCI equity instruments. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.
