1 Company overview
a. Indo Tech Transformers Limited (''Indo Tech'' / ''the Company'') is engaged in the business of manufacturing power and distribution transformers and various special application transformers, mobile sub-station transformers and sub-stations. The Company has its manufacturing plant located at Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu.
2 Basis of preparation
a. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 specified under Section 133 of Companies Act, 2013, (the ''Act'') and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company''s Board of Directors on May 19, 2023.
Details of the Company''s accounting policies are included in Note 3.
b. The Company had been incurring losses over the last few years and has accumulated losses as at the reporting date. In order to overcome this, the Company has developed a business plan to strengthen its financial position / liquidity and has initiated corrective measures to improve it''s operational performance. Based on the approved business plans, availability of banking limits, commitment and intention of the Holding Company to provide timely financial and other assistance as may be considered necessary to enable the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, the Company believes that it would be able to meet its financial requirements and no adjustments would be required in respect of the carrying values of assets / liabilities. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
c. Historical Cost Convention
The Financial Statements have been prepared under historical cost convention on accrual basis except for certain assets and liabilities as stated in the respective policies, which have been measured at fair value.
d. Current / Non-Current classification
The assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current and non-current classification of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s operating cycle and other criteria set out in Ind AS-1 ''Presentation of Financial Statements'' and Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Cash or cash equivalent is treated as current, unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
e. Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (Rs.), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.
f. Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items:
Items |
Measurement basis |
Certain financial assets and liabilities |
Fair value |
Net defined benefit liability / (asset) |
Present value of defined benefit obligations less Fair value of plan assets |
g. Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment in the period ending March 31, 2023 is included in the following note
Note 3(c) - estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;
Note 3(i) and Note 30 - recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies; key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources;
Note 7 - recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which tax losses carried forward can be used;
Note 18 - measurement of defined benefit obligations: key actuarial assumptions;
Note 3(f) - impairment of financial assets.
h. Measurement of fair values
A few of the Company''s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in Note 29 - financial instruments.
3 Significant accounting policies
a. Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company, at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
b. Financial instruments
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- Fair value through OCI (FVOCI) - debt investment;
- FVOCI - equity investment; or -FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
. the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
. the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investments fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI - equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest
or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under the effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in
profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
(iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
c. Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the useful life as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. Freehold land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative period are as follows:
Asset |
Useful life (in years) |
Buildings |
30-60 |
Plant and machinery |
15 |
Office equipments |
5 |
Computer and accessories |
3-6 |
Furniture and fixtures |
10 |
Vehicles |
8 |
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
d. Intangible assets
(i) Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in statement of profit and loss. Intangible assets comprise of softwares purchased which are amortised over a period of 5 years.
e. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Value of identified items of finished goods and work-in-progress are written down if estimated recoverable value of such item is lower than its cost.
f. Impairment
(i) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ''credit-impaired'' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the customer;
- a breach of contract such as a default / being significantly past due;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise;
- it is probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company''s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company''s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(ii) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company''s non-financial assets other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset''s recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Company''s corporate assets do not generate independent cash inflows. To determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of other assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset''s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
g. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.
Such assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
If the Company no longer satisfies the criteria for classification of such assets as held for sale, the assets are reclassified back to their original classification at the lower of its carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation, amortisation or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset not been reclassified as held for sale and its recoverable amount on the date of reclassification.
h. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company''s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (''the asset ceiling''). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (''past service cost'' or ''past service gain'') or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits
The Company''s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(v) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
i. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
(i) Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on technical evaluation, historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.
(ii) Onerous contracts
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before such a provision is made, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.
j. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares.
k. Revenue
The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of transformers and related services (i.e. freight, insurance and labour).
(a) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when a promise in a customer contract (performance obligation) has been satisfied by transferring control over the promised goods to the customer. Control over a promised good refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from those goods. Control is usually transferred upon shipment, delivery to, upon receipt of goods by the customer, in accordance with the individual delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customers. The amount of revenue to be recognised (transaction price) is based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales tax or other taxes directly linked to sales. Revenue from sale of goods is recorded net of allowances for estimated rebates, cash discounts and estimates of return of goods, all of which are established at the time of sale.
If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. In case of any modification to the contract, the entity recognises such modification as a separate contract if it increases both the performance obligation and the consideration due for such modification.
Arrangements with customers for sale of the goods are either on a fixed firm price basis or variable on a key material price change basis.
Amounts due in respect of price escalation claims and / or variation in sale are recognised as revenue only if the contract allows for such claims or variations and / or there is evidence that the customer has accepted it and it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.
Liquidated damages/penalties, warranties and contingencies are provided for, based on management''s assessment of the estimated liability, as per the contractual terms and / or acceptance.
Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (i.e. unbilled revenue).
Consideration received before the transfer of goods to the customers are presented as a contract liability (i.e. advance from customers).
(b) Sale of services
Revenue from services is recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract. Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by the nature of sale i.e. sale of transformers and sale of services and type of contracts viz fixed price contract and variable price contract. The Company believes that this disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by industry, market and other economic factors. Refer Note 20.
l. Recognition of interest income or expense
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
The ''effective interest rate'' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
m. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company is engaged into the business of manufacture and sale of transformers and there are not more than one reportable segment as envisaged by Indian Accounting Standard 108 - Segment Reporting (Ind AS-108).
n. Leases
The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Company recognises right-of-use asset (ROU) representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.
The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
o. Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. The Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
p. Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with the financial institution, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

1 significant accounting polices
a. foreign currency
foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company, at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
b. financial instruments
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables and unbilled revenue are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.
(ii) classification and subsequent measurement financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at
- amortised cost;
- Fair value through OCI (FVOCI) - debt investment;
- FVOCI-equity investment; or
- FVTPL
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.â
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investments fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI . equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
I f the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
The Company also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognised in profit or loss.
(iv) offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
c. Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iii) Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at April 1, 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such property, plant and equipment (Refer note 30).
(iv) Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method over the useful life as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013. Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).
d. Intangible assets
(i) recognition and measurement
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
(iii) Transition to Ind As
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets recognised as at April 1, 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of such intangible assets.
(iv) Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, and is included in depreciation and amortisation in statement of profit and loss. Intangible assets comprise of softwares purchased which are amortised over a period of 5 years.
e. Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of fixed production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished products.
Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in the production of finished products are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
f. Impairment
(i) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost;
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is âcredit-impairedâ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulty of the customer;
- a breach of contract such as a default or being past due for 90 days or more;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise;
- it is probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating expected credit losses, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Companyâs historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Companyâs procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(ii) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Companyâs non-financial assets other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assetâs recoverable amount is estimated.
For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash inflows are grouped together into cash-generating units (CGUs). Each CGU represents the smallest Company of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
The recoverable amount of a CGU (or an individual asset) is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU (or the asset).
The Companyâs corporate assets do not generate independent cash inflows. To determine impairment of a corporate asset, recoverable amount is determined for the CGUs to which the corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
In respect of other assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assetâs carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
g. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.
Such assets are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
h. Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid e.g., under short-term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Government administered provident fund scheme. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which the related services are rendered by employees.
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Companyâs net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan (âthe asset ceilingâ). In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised in OCI. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service (âpast service costâ or âpast service gainâ) or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits
The Companyâs net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than post-employment benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The obligation is measured on the basis of an annual independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(v) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
i. Provisions (other than for employee benefits)
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
(i) Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on technical evaluation, historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes by their associated probabilities.
(ii) onerous contracts
A contract is considered to be onerous when the expected economic benefits to be derived by the Company from the contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision for an onerous contract is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before such a provision is made, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.
j Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares.
k Revenue
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates, if any. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing effective control over, or managerial involvement with, the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. The timing of transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of sale.
(ii) Rendering of services
Service income is recognized as the services are rendered on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract.
l Leases (i) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
At inception of an arrangement, it is determined whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.
At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement that contains a lease, the payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement are separated into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If it is concluded for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. The liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the incremental borrowing rate.
(ii) Assets held under leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment that transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to similar owned assets.
Assets held under leases that do not transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (i.e. operating leases) are not recognised in the Companyâs Balance Sheet.
(iii) Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are generally recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless such payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessorâs expected inflationary cost increases. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
m Recognition of interest income or expense
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method.
The âeffective interest rateâ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
n Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax is not recognised for temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction;
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. The Company recognises a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which such deferred tax asset can be realised. Deferred tax assets - unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised / reduced to the extent that it is probable / no longer probable respectively that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
o Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with the financial institution, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
p Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Company considers itâs busines segment as itâs primary segment. The Company is engaged into the business of manufacture and sale of transformers and there are not more than one reportable segment as envisaged by Indian Accounting Standard 108 - Segment Reporting (Ind AS-108). Accordingly, amounts appearing in these financial statements relates to only manufacture and sale of transformers.
Further, the operations primarily cater to the needs of the domestic market. Accordingly, there are no separate reportable segments according to Ind AS-108.
q Recent accounting pronouncements
Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
I nd AS 115, establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue should be recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including Ind AS 18 Revenue, Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Guidance Note on Accounting for Real Estate Transactions. Ind AS 115 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2018 and will be applied accordingly.
The Company has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of Ind AS 115 on accounting policies followed in its financial statements. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 on the financial statements in the period of initial application is not reasonably estimatible at present. The Company will adopt the standard on April 01, 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly the comparatives for the year ending or ended March 31, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be material on its retained earnings and to its net income on an ongoing basis.

1 Company overview
Indo Tech Transformers Limited (''Indo Tech'' / ''the Company'') is engaged in the business of manufacturing power and distribution transformers and various special application transformers, mobile sub-station transformers and sub-stations. The Company has manufacturing plants located at Chennai and Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu.
2 Significant Accounting Policies
a Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India (''Indian GAAP'') and comply with the Accounting Standards as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act'') read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provisions of the Act (to the extent notified and applicable) and guidelines issued by the Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI) The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees.
During the year 2013-14, the Company has intimated to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (''BIFR'') about erosion of more than 50% of the Company''s peak net worth pursuant to section 23 of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985 (SICA'').
During the year, the Company''s performance has improved owing to rise in demand from its customers and better market conditions. The Company has also developed a business plan to strengthen its financial position and liquidity and initiated various measures to improve it''s operational performance. Pursuant to such measures, the working capital and liquidity position has also improved. Prolec GE (the holding company) has also continued to support the Company over the years. Based on the approved business plans, commitment by the holding company to provide financial and other assistance as is necessary to enable the Company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (at least for a period of 12 months from the balance sheet date) and availability of banking limits, the Company believes that it would be able to meet its financial requirements and no adjustments would be required in respect of the carrying values of assets/liabilities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is significantly dependent on the consistent and continued improvement in its operational performance in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. b Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future years.
c Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon transfer of all significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer which generally corresponds with the dispatch/delivery of goods to buyers based on the terms of the contract. The amount recognized as sale is exclusive of sales tax and trade discounts.
Service income is recognized as the services are rendered on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
d Fixed assets and depreciation / amortization Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets includes freight, duties and taxes and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition, but exclude duties and taxes that are recoverable subsequently from tax authorities. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition of those fixed assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized.
Capital work-in-progress includes the cost of fixed assets that are not ready for its intended use and cost of assets not put to use before the balance sheet date.
Intangible fixed assets and amortization
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated economic useful lives on a straight line basis commencing from the date the asset is available for its use. The management estimates the useful lives for the intangible asset (software) at 5 years. e Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. f Leases
Assets taken on lease where the Company acquires substantially the entire risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance leases. The amount recorded is the lesser of the present value of the minimum lease rental and other incidental expenses during the lease term or the asset''s fair value.
Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and recorded as expenses as and when payments are made on a straight line basis over the lease term. g Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost includes all taxes and duties, but excludes duties and taxes that are subsequently recoverable from tax authorities.
The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:
Description_ Method of determining cost_
Raw materials and components__ Weighted average_
Stores and spares and consumables Weighted average_
Work in progress _Weighted average and including an appropriate share of production overheads_
Finished goods Weighted average and including an appropriate share of production overheads (excise
duty in respect of closing inventory of finished goods is included as part of inventory)
h Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions during the year and on restatement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year.
i Employee benefits
Provisions for / contributions to retirement benefits scheme are made as follows:
Defined contribution plan
Provident fund: Eligible employees receive benefits from the provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee''s basic salary. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions. The Company''s contribution to the Employees'' Provident Fund scheme maintained by the Central Government is charged to the statement of profit and loss.
Defined benefit plans
Compensated absences: Provision for long term compensated absences is made on the basis of an actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet date carried out by an independent actuary using projected unit credit method. Provision for short term compensated absences is made on actual basis.
Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement Plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The Plan provides payment to vested employees at retirement, death or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company. The Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contribution to a fund managed by the LIC. Under this scheme the settlement obligation remains with the Company although the LIC administers the scheme and determines the contribution premium required to be paid by the Company. Liabilities related to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation done by an independent actuary using projected unit credit method as at the balance sheet date.
Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post employment and other long-term benefits are charged to the statement of profit and loss. j Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year, unless issued at a later date. k Taxation
Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the year determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting that tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the year).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized. Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws. l Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. m Cash flow statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/ loss before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities of the Company are segregated. n Government and other grants
Grant and subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant / subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Government and other grants in the nature of promoter''s contribution are credited to capital reserve and treated as a part of shareholders'' funds. o Cash and cash equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
c Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all equity shares rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the Company''s residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time. The voting rights of an equity shareholder in a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to its share of the paid-up equity capital of the Company. During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company has not declared any dividend.
On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive the residual assets of the company, remaining after distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of equity shares held.
Based on the information received and available, the management believes that there are no enterprises which have provided goods and services to the Company and which qualify under the definition of micro and small enterprises, as defined under Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. Accordingly, the disclosure in respect of the amounts payable, if any to such enterprises as at March 31, 2016 has been made in the financial statements based on information received and available with the Company, to the extent identified by the management.

A Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India
(''Indian GAAP'') and comply with the Accounting Standards as prescribed
under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (''Act'') read with Rule 7
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provisions of the Act and
guidelines issued by the Securities and exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees.
During the past few years, the Company''s performance has been
significantly impacted due to various adverse market conditions. As a
result, the accumulated losses had significantly eroded the net worth
of the Company. During the previous period, the Company has intimated
to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (''BIFR'') about
erosion of more than 50% of the Company''s peak net worth pursuant to
section 23 of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985
(SICA'').
During the year, the Company has initiated various measures to improve
operational performance and liquidity and has witnessed rise in demand
from its customers and improved market conditions. Prolec GE
Internacional S. De R. L. De C. V. (Prolec GE), the holding company,
has continued to support the Company in the current year by giving a
voluntary, non- repayable financial grant (subvention) of US$ 25
million (INR 1,491 million). The net results have improved primarily
owing to lower interest cost, which has been achieved on account of
repayment of all short term borrowings. However, the accumulated losses
as at March 31, 2015 have further eroded the net worth of the Company.
Further, based on the approved business plans, commitment by the
holding company to provide financial and other assistance as is
necessary to enable the Company to continue in operational existence
for the foreseeable future and at least for a period of 12 months from
the balance sheet date and availability of banking limits, the Company
believes that it would be able to meet its financial requirements and
no adjustments would be required in respect of the carrying values of
assets/liabilities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is significantly dependent on the consistent and continued
improvement in its operational performance in the future. Accordingly,
the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
b Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amount of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
prospectively in current and future periods.
c Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon transfer of all
significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer which generally
corresponds with the dispatch/delivery of goods to buyers based on the
terms of the contract. The amount recognized as sale is exclusive of
sales tax and trade discounts.
Service income is recognized as the services are rendered on an accrual
basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract, net of
service tax.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
d Fixed assets and depreciation / amortisation Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets includes freight,
duties and taxes and other incidental expenses related to the
acquisition, but exclude duties and taxes that are recoverable
subsequently from tax authorities. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to acquisition of those fixed assets which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
are capitalized.
Capital work-in-progress includes the cost of fixed assets that are not
ready for its intended use and cost of assets not put to use before the
balance sheet date.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for
acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
economic useful lives on a straight line basis commencing from the date
the asset is available for its use. The management estimates the useful
lives for the intangible asset (software) at 5 years.
e Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net
realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable
amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the
carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is
treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of
profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication
that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the
recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the
recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
f Leases
Assets taken on lease where the Company acquires substantially the
entire risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as
finance leases. The amount recorded is the lesser of the present value
of the minimum lease rental and other incidental expenses during the
lease term or the asset''s fair value.
The rental obligations, net of interest charges, are reflected in
secured loan. Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and
recorded as expenses as and when payments are made on a straight line
basis over the lease term.
g Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion
and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost includes all taxes and duties, but
excludes duties and taxes that are subsequently recoverable from tax
authorities.
The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories
are as follows:
h Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet
date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date.
Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions during
the year / period and on restatement of monetary assets and liabilities
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year /
period.
Premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of the
contract. Any profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of
forward contracts is recognized as income or as expense for the year /
period. In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the
foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance
sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated as the difference
between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the
exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the
transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the
corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the
date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last
reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the
exchange rates change.
In accordance with the announcement of "Accounting for Derivatives"
made by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI'') on
March 29, 2008, derivatives are marked to market and the changes in the
value of such derivatives are recognized in statement of profit and
loss.
i Employee benefits
Provisions for / contributions to retirement benefits scheme are made
as follows:
Defined contribution plan
Provident fund: Eligible employees receive benefits from the provident
fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the
Company make monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to
a specified percentage of the covered employee''s basic salary. The
Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly
contributions. The Company''s contribution to the Employees'' Provident
Fund scheme maintained by the Central Government is charged to the
statement of profit and loss.
Defined benefit plan
Compensated absences: Provision for long term compensated absences is
made on the basis of an actuarial valuation as at the balance sheet
date carried out by an independent actuary using projected unit credit
method. Provision for short term compensated absences is made on actual
basis.
Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit
retirement Plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees. The
Plan provides payment to vested employees at retirement, death or

Liabilities related to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial
valuation done by an independent actuary using projected unit credit
method as at the balance sheet date.
Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post employment and other
long-term benefits are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
j Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for
the year / period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year / period. Diluted
earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of
all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in
computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average
number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and
also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have
been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The
diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds
receivable, had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the
average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential
equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the year /
period, unless issued at a later date.
k Taxation
Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
year / period determined in accordance with the income- tax law) and
deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting that tax effects of timing
differences between accounting income and taxable income for the
period).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a
reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss
under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there
is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or
written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain
(as the case may be) to be realized. Current tax and deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company
has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on
income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
l Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a
result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A
disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow
of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent
assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial
statements.
m Cash flow statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and
investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at average monthly exchange rates that
approximate the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
n Government and other grants
Grant and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance
that the grant / subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions
will be complied with. Government and other grants in the nature of
promoter''s contribution are credited to capital reserve and treated as
a part of shareholders'' funds.
c Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has a single class of equity shares. Accordingly, all
equity shares rank equally with regard to dividends and share in the
Company''s residual assets. The equity shares are entitled to receive
dividend as declared from time to time. The voting rights of an equity
shareholder in a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to its
share of the paid-up equity capital of the Company.
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company has not declared any
dividend.
On winding up of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be
entitled to receive the residual assets of the company, remaining after
distribution of all preferential amounts in proportion to the number of
equity shares held.
Provision for warranties: A provision is estimated for expected
warranty claims in respect of products sold during the year on the
basis of a technical evaluation and past experience regarding failure
trends of products and costs of rectification or replacement. The
provision for warranty is maintained over the period of the warranty
which varies from 12 months to 72 months.
Provision for others: This represents provisions made for probable
liabilities / claims arising out of pending disputes / litigations with
customs authorities. Timing of outflow of resources will depend upon
timing of decision of cases.
Note :
Miscellaneous income for the year ended March 31,2015 includes Rs.
43,727,086 (March 31,2014: Rs. 53,318,243) received as re-imbursement
of salaries and other expenses for earlier years, related to
expatriates, who were seconded by Prolec GE. Miscellaneous income also
includes Rs. 45,729,013 (March 31, 2014: Rs. 33,734,400) received as

customers.
Mar 31, 2014
A Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the
historical cost convention, on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India
(''Indian GAAP'') and comply with the Accounting Standards prescribed in
the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 issued by the Central
Government under Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 read with
the General Circular 15 / 2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry
of Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act,
2013, in consultation with the National Advisory Committee on
Accounting Standards (''NACAS''), the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, the guidelines issued by the Securities and
Exchange Board of India and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, to the extent applicable. The financial statements
are presented in Indian rupees.
The Company''s performance during the nine months period ended March 31,
2014 has witnessed rise in demand from its customers and improved
market conditions. However, increased interest cost continues to be a
burden on the margins and as a result, the accumulated losses as at
March 31, 2014 have further eroded the net worth of the Company. During
the current period, the Company has intimated to the Board for
Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (''BIFR'') about erosion of more
than 50% of the Company''s peak net worth pursuant to section 23 of Sick
Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985 (SICA'').
Prolec GE, the holding Company, has consistently supported the Company
to raise unsecured funds from banks and renewal of the existing loans
subsequent to March 31, 2014. Also, pursuant to the various steps
initiated by the Company to improve its operational performance and
liquidity, there has been a reduction in losses in the current period.
Based on the approved business plans, independent impairment testing
and availability of banking limits, the Company believes that it would
be able to meet its financial requirements and no adjustments would be
required in respect of the carrying values of assets/liabilities. The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is significantly
dependent on the consistent and continued improvement in its
operational performance in the future. Accordingly, the financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
b Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amount of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
prospectively in current and future periods.
c Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon transfer of all
significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer which generally
corresponds with the dispatch/delivery of goods to buyers based on the
terms of the contract. The amount recognized as sale is exclusive of
sales tax and trade discounts.
Service income is recognized as the services are rendered on an accrual
basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract.
Dividend income is recognized when the unconditional right to receive
the payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
d Fixed assets and depreciation / amortisation

ready for its intended use and cost of assets not put to use before the
balance sheet date.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method at the rates of
depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. If
the management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the
time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a
subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid
Schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the
management''s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life.
Pursuant to this policy, based on the estimated useful life of the
assets, depreciation is provided considering the following useful lives
which corresponds to the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the
Companies Act, 1956.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for
acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated

diminution in value, determined separately for each individual
investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and
fair value.

period.
Premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of the
contract. Any profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of
forward contracts is recognized as income or as expense for the year /
period. In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the
foreign currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance
sheet date, the exchange difference is calculated as the difference
between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the
exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the
transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the
corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the
date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last
reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss in the reporting period in which the
exchange rates change.

A Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented on the
accrual basis of accounting and comply with the Accounting Standards
prescribed in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 issued
by the Central Government, the relevant provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956, the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board
of India and other accounting principles generally accepted in India,
to the extent applicable. The financial statements are presented in
Indian rupees.
The Company''s performance during the fifteen months period ended June
30, 2013 has been impacted due to the fall in demand from the Company''s
customers, incremental interest cost, increased freight and warranty
costs and other adverse market conditions. As a result, the accumulated
losses as at June 30, 2013 have significantly eroded the net worth of
the Company. Accordingly, the Company is in the process of intimating
to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction CBIFR'') about
erosion of more than 50% of the Company''s peak net worth pursuant to
section 23 of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act, 1985
(SICA'').
Prolec GE, the holding Company, has consistently supported the Company
to raise unsecured funds from banks and renewal of the existing loans
in the period subsequent to June 30, 2013. Also, the Company has
initiated various steps to improve its operational performance and
liquidity. Based on the current business plans, independent impairment
testing and availability of banking limits, the Company believes that
it would be able to meet its financial requirements and no adjustments
would be required in respect of the carrying value of
assets/liabilities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is significantly dependent on the consistent and continued
improvement in its operational performance in the future. Accordingly,
the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
b Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and reported amount of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised
prospectively in current and future periods.
c Revenue recognition
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized upon transfer of all
significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer which generally
corresponds with the dispatch/delivery of goods to buyers based on the
terms of the contract. The amount recognized as sale is exclusive of
sales tax and trade discounts.
Service income is recognized as the services are rendered on an accrual
basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract.
Dividend income is recognized when the unconditional right to receive
the payment is established.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the interest rate applicable.
d Fixed assets and depreciation / amortisation
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less
accumulated depreciation. The cost of fixed assets includes freight,
duties and taxes and other incidental expenses related to the
acquisition, but exclude duties and taxes that are recoverable
subsequently from tax authorities. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to acquisition of those fixed assets which necessarily
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use
are capitalized.
Capital work-in-progress includes the cost of fixed assets that are not
ready for its intended use and cost of assets not put to use before the
balance sheet date.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method at the rates of
depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956. If
the management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the
time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a
subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid
Schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the
management''s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life.
Pursuant to this policy, based on the estimated useful life of the
assets, depreciation is provided considering the following useful lives
which corresponds to the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the
Companies Act, 1956.
Assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are depreciated @ 100% in the year
of purchase.
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are recorded at the consideration paid for
acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated
economic useful lives on a straight line basis commencing from the date
the asset is available for its use. The management estimates the useful
lives for the intangible asset (software) at 5 years.
e Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication
exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net
realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable
amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating
unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the
carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is
treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of
profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication
that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the
recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the
recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
f Leases
Assets taken on lease where the Company acquires substantially the
entire risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as
finance leases. The amount recorded is the lesser of the present value
of the minimum lease rental and other incidental expenses during the
lease term or the asset''s fair value.
The rental obligations, net of interest charges, are reflected in
secured loan. Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the
risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases and
recorded as expenses as and when payments are made on a straight line
basis over the lease term.
g Investments
Long-term investments are stated at cost less any other-than-temporary
diminution in value, determined separately for each individual
investment. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and
fair value.
h Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion
and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Cost includes all taxes and duties, but
excludes duties and taxes that are subsequently recoverable from tax
authoriiies.
The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories
are as follows:
i Foreign currency transactions
Foreign curmrcy transactions are recorded at the exchange rates
prevailing on the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and
liabilifios denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet
date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date. C
hange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions during the
year and on restatement of monetary assets and liabilities are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year.
Premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange
contracts is amortized as expense or income over the life of the
contract. Any profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of
forward contracts is recognized as income or as expense for the period.
In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the foreign
currency risk of the underlying outstanding at the balance sheet date,
the exchange difference is calculated as the difference between the
foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate
at the reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is
settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign
currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the
forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange
differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the
reporting period in which the exchange rates change.
In accordance with the announcement of "Accounting for Derivatives"
made by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India i''ICaD on 29
March 2008, derivatives are marked to market and the changes in the
value of such derivatives are recognised in statement of protit and
loss.

a specified percentage of the covered employee''s basic: salary. The
Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly
contributions. The Company''s contribution to the Employees'' Provident
Fund scheme maintained by the Central Government is charged to the
statement of profit and loss.

employee''s salary and the tenure of employment with the Company. The
Company provides the gratuity benefit through annual contribution to a
fund managed by the LIC. Under this scheme the settlement obligation
remains with the Company although the LIC administers the scheme and
determines the contribution premium required to be paid by the Company.
Liabilities related to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial
valuation done by an independent actuary using projected unit credit
method as at the balance sheet date.
Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post employment and other
long-term benefits are charged to the statement of profit and loss.
k Earnings per share
Bask earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for
the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per
share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive
potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted
earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted
average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential
equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares
been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of
the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later
date.
i Taxation
Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
period determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred
tax charge or credit (reflecting that tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the period).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a
reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss
under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there
is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax
assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or
written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain
(as the case may be) to be realized. Current tax and deferred tax
assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company
has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on
income levied by the same governing taxation laws.
m Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a
result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A
disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow
of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent
assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial
statements.
n Cash flow statements
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and
investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at average monthly exchange rates that
approximate the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for
the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per
share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive
potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted
earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares
considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted
average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the
conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential
equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares
been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of
the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed
converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later
date
xiii) Taxation
Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the
period determined in accordance with the income-tax law) and deferred
tax charge or credit (reflecting that tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the period). The
deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax
liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a
reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future;
however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward
loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if
there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down
or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually
certain (as the case may be) to be realized.
Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the
extent to which the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off
and they relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing
taxation laws.
xiv) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a
result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A
disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not,
require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obi igation
or a present obi igation i n respect of wh ich the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial
statements.
xv) Cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit
before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash
nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or
payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and
investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash flows in
foreign currencies are accounted at average monthly exchange rates that
approximate the actual rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the
transactions.
