Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of past
events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be
reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is
determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an
outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management''s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

p) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker.

The board of directors of Facor alloys Limited has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker by the
Management of the company. Refer
note 37 for segment information presented.

q) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term money market deposits with original
maturities of three months or less that is readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.

r) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally
through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of held for sale is met when the non¬
current asset is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year
from the date of classification as held for sale. These are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for
sale.

Non-current assets that ceases to be classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount
before the non-current asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its
recoverable amount at the date when it no longer meets the “held for sale” criteria.

s) Events occurring after the balance sheet date

All material events occurring after the balance sheet date upto the date of approval of financial statements by the
board of directors, have been considered, disclosed and adjusted, wherever applicable, as per the requirements of
Ind AS 10 - Events after the Reporting Period.

3. RECENT INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There are no new
standards that are notified, but not yet effective, upto the date of issuance of the Company''s financial statements.

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

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, 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 unlisted equity securities. There are no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year

II. Financial Risk Management

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

- credit risk;

- liquidity risk; and

- market risk

Risk Management Framework

A company is exposed to uncertainties owning to the sector in which it is operating. The Company is conscious of the fact that any risk that could have a material impact on its business should be included in its risk profile. Accordingly, in order to contain / mitigate the risk, the Board of Directors have approved a Risk management policy which shall be reviewed by Board and the management from time to time.

The Company''s Risk Management framework is designed to identify, assess and monitor various risks related to key business and strategic objectives and lead to the formulation of a mitigation plan. Major risks in particular are monitored regularly at Executive meetings and the Board of Directors of the Company is kept abreast of such issues and the policy was reviewed by the Board and Committee at its meeting.

The Company''s Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company''s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

i. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to company if a customer or counterparty to the financial instrument fails to meet its financial obligations, and arises principally from the loans & advances to related parties and company''s receivables from customers.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks and other financial assets. None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentration of credit risk other than trade receivable.

The company maintains its Cash and cash equivalents and Bank Deposits with banks having good reputation, good past track record and high quality credit rating and also reviews their credit rating on a timely basis.

The gross carrying amount of trade receivables is Rs. 1840.67 lacs (31 March 2017 Rs. 1,377.51 Lacs & 1 April 2016 -Rs. 284.59 Lacs).

During the period, the Company has made no write-offs of trade receivables. The Company management also pursue all options for recovery of dues wherever necessary based on its internal assessment. A default on a financial asset is when counterparty fails to make payments within 365 days when they fall due.

Other current financial assets basically include loans and advances recoverable from related parties. Provision is created in books of accounts on case to case basis depending upon the possibility/probability of recovery of the amount due to financial position of related parties. The gross carrying amount of loan and advances to related parties as on 31 March 2018 amounted to Rs. 9,694.30 lacs (As at 31 March 2017 is Rs. 9,537.76 lacs & 1 April 2016 is Rs. 8,684.54 lacs).

ii. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to risk of financial distress or extra ordinary high financing cost arising due to shortage of liquid funds in a situation where business conditions unexpectedly deteriorate and require financing. The Company''s objective is to maintain at all times optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. Processes and policies related to such risk are overseen by senior management and management monitors the Company''s net liquidity position through rolling forecast on the basis of expected cash flows.

iii. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates - will affect the Company''s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

a) Equity Price risk

Commodity Price Risk is the risk that future cash flow of the Company will fluctuate on account of changes in market price of the material produced and sold by the company. The Company is exposed to the movement in price of key raw materials in domestic and international markets. The Company has in place policies to manage exposure to fluctuations in the prices of the materials. The Company enters into contracts for procurement of materials and most of the transactions are short term fixed price contracts.

b) Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that fair value of future cash flow of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities. The Company has foreign currency trade payables and receivables and is therefore, exposed to a foreign exchange risk. Foreign currency 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 managed through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows Exposure to currency risk

The summary quantitative data about the Group''s exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates related primarily to the Company''s short term borrowing with floating interest rates. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The interest rate profile of the Company''s interest bearing financial instruments at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

42 Capital management

For the purpose of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity share holders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company''s capital management is to safeguard continuity, maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The funding requirement is met through equity, internal accruals, long term borrowings and short term borrowings. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company''s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements.

43 The plant was operative in the previous financial year for only 6 months, therefore the figures of the current year''s statements of profit & loss is not comparable with the previous year figures.

44 First Time Adoption of Ind AS

As stated in note 2, these are the Company''s first standalone financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS statement of financial position at 1 April 2016 (the Company''s date of transition). In preparing its opening Ind AS statement of financial position, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP (previous GAAP). An explanation of how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company''s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and the notes that accompany the tables. Exemptions and exceptions availed Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS.

A. Ind AS Optional Exemptions

(i) Deemed cost of Property, Plant and Equipment:

The Company has elected to measure items of Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) at the date of transition to Ind AS at their fair value. The Company has used the fair value of PPE, which is considered as deemed cost on transition. Fair valuations are assessed as on 1 April, 2016.

(ii) Investments in Subsidiary:

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to choose the previous GAAP carrying amount at the entity''s date of transition to Ind AS to measure the investment in the subsidiary as the deemed cost. Accordingly, the Group has opted to measure its investment in subsidiary at deemed cost, i.e. previous GAAP carrying amount.

B. Ind AS mandatory exceptions (i) 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 1 April 2016 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP.

(ii) 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.

C. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

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

D. Notes To First-Time Adoption:

1 Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company has elected to measure items of Property, Plant & Equipment (PPE) at the date of transition to Ind AS at their fair value. The Company has used the fair value of PPE, which is considered as deemed cost on transition. Fair valuations are assessed as on 1 April, 2016 and the same had an impact of? 11,671.81 Lacs in accordance with stipulations of Ind AS 101 with the resultant impact being accounted for in the reserves.

2 Investment in Subsidiaries and Associates

The company had opted to carry its investment in subsidiary and associates at cost in accordance with Ind AS 27. Further, the company had carried out the impairment testing of investment value (at cost) in accordance with the Ind AS 36. The impairment testing has resulted in impairment of investment by Rs. 3,091.42 lacs with resultant impact being accounted for in the reserves on the transition date.

3 Other Investments (other than Subsidiary and Associates)

Under previous GAAP, the Company used to carry the investments in equity instruments of companies(other than subsidiary and associates) at cost. Under Ind AS, the Company elected to fair value the same through the other comprehensive income. As a result, the Company recorded downward fair valuation of Rs. 2,013.66 lacs as on the transition date.

4 Borrowings

Under Ind AS, the financial liability (borrowings) needs to be measured at amortised cost using EIR and for the computation of EIR market rate of interest needs to be considered. The company had obtained certain loans which were at below market interest rate and application of EIR method had resulted in decrease of borrowings by Rs. 6.02 lacs with corresponding increase in reserves (including other equity). The above adjustment had decreased profit by Rs. 0.22 lacs during FY 2016-17.

5 Impairment of Financial Assets - Loans and Advances

As per Ind AS 109, the company is required to apply expected credit loss model for recognising the allowance for doubtful debts. As a result, the allowance for doubtful debts has been booked by Rs. 8,614.59 Lacs with corresponding decrease in reserves as at 1 April 2016.

6 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 recognised 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. Asa result of this change, the profit for the year (net of tax) ended 31 March 2017 increased by Rs. 43.64 lacs (Rs. 28.53 lacs). There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March 2017.

7 Deferred tax

Deferred tax have been recognised on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS.

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 31 March 2017 by Rs. 160.81 lacs. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.
