The financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018 are the first financial statements prepared by the Company under Ind AS. For all periods up to and including the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under the section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Previous GAAP’) used for its statutory reporting requirement in India immediately before adopting Ind AS. The financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2017 and the opening Balance Sheet as at 1st April, 2016 have been restated in accordance with Ind AS for comparative information. Reconciliations and explanations of the effect of the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows are provided in note 1.3 c.

The financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all the periods presented in the financial statements, including the preparation of the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as at 1st April, 2016 being the date of transition to Ind AS. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. The Company adopts operating cycle based on the project period and accordingly, all project related assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current. Other than project related assets and liabilities, 12 month period is considered as normal operating cycle.

1.2 First-time adoption of Ind AS:

a. Transition to Ind AS

These are the Company’s first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS.

The accounting policies as set out in note no. 1.2 above have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31^st March 2018, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31^st March 2017 and in the preparation of an opening Ind AS balance sheet as at 1^st April 2016 (the transition date). In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet, the Company has adjusted the amounts reported previously in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and other relevant provisions of the Act. An explanation of how transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.

b. Exemption and exceptions availed

Set out below are the applicable Ind AS 101 optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied in the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS, which are considered to be material and significant.

(i) The Company has elected to measure items of property, plant and equipment at its carrying value as at the transition date except for certain class of assets which are measured at fair value as deemed cost.

(ii) Ind AS provides a one time option to a first-time adopter either to measure its investment in subsidiary as per previous GAAP carrying value or at fair value on the date of transition. The Company has elected to measure its investment in subsidiary as per previous GAAP carrying value.

(iii) On assessment of the estimates made under the previous GAAP financial statements, the Company has concluded that there is no necessity to revise the estimates under Ind AS, as there is no objective evidence of an error in those statements. However, estimates that were required under Ind AS but not required under previous GAAP are made by the Company for the relevant reporting dates reflecting conditions existing as at that date.

(iv) Under Ind AS, remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations, i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expenses on the net defined benefit liability are recognised in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the Previous GAAP, these remeasurements were forming part of the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year. There is no impact on the total equity.

(v) Under Ind AS, all items of income and expenses recognised in a period should be included in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expenses that are not recognised in profit or loss but are shown in the Statement of Profit and Loss as ‘other comprehensive income’ includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans and tax effects thereon. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under the Previous GAAP.

c. Reconciliations between previous GAAP and Ind AS

The following reconciliations provide the explanations and quantification of the differences arising from the transition from Previous GAAP to Ind AS in accordance with Ind AS 101:

(i) Reconciliation of equity as reported under previous GAAP to Ind AS;

(ii) Reconciliation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income as reported under previous GAAP to Ind AS; and

(iii) Adjustments to statement of cash flows.

Notes to reconciliation of equity and statement of profit and loss

1. The Company has considered fair value for property, viz. land as on transition date, i.e. 1^st April 2016 with impact of Rs. 4,15,95,473 in accordance with stipulations of Ind AS 101 with the resultant impact being accounted for in the reserves.

2. Under Ind AS, loans are valued at present value as compared to being carried at cost in the previous GAAP. This adjustment includes the difference between the book value and the present value of an interest free loan or loan below market rate given to a wholly owned subsidiary. The interest on the present value of this loan is recognized over the tenure of the loan using the EIR method.

3. Under Ind AS, the Company recognized the provision for expected credit loss as per the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) policy of the Company as set out in accordance with Ind AS 101. Differences in the provisions are adjusted under trade receivables.

4. The Company recognizes the cost related to its post employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis both under previous GAAP and Ind AS. Under previous GAAP, entire cost including actuarial gains and losses and return on planned assets are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses and returns on planned assets are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income.

5. Consequential tax impact of the other Ind AS transitional adjustments lead to temporary timing differences. Deferred tax adjustments are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in retained earnings or through comprehensive income.

6. Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements by the shareholders were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability of proposed dividend and dividend distribution tax thereon, included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings.

7. There are no material adjustments of transition to the statement of cash flows to conform to Ind AS presentation for the year ended 31^st March, 2017.

General reserve: The Company has transferred a portion of the net profit of the Company before declaring dividend to general reserve pursuant to the earlier provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Mandatory transfer to general reserve is not required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Retained earnings: Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

Securities Premium Account: The amount received in excess of face value of the equity shares is recognised in Securities Premium Reserve.In case of equity-settled share based payment transactions, the difference between fair value on grant date and nominal value of share is accounted as securities premium reserve. Remeasurement of defined benefit plans: The Company has recognised remeasurement gains/(loss) on defined benefit plans in OCI. These changes are accumalated within the OCI reserve within other equity. The Company transfers amount from this reserve to retained earning when the relevant obligations are derecognized.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables in accordance with the expected credit loss (ECL) policy of the Company. The Company regularlty reviews trade receivables and necessary provisions, wherever required, are made in the financial statements.

B. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its commitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a fianncial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities by continuously monitoring forcast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities are as follows:

C. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes.

The Company has several balances in foreign currency and consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.

Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of each reporting period is as under: a) Exposure in foreign currency - Hedged

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the underlying transactions and firm commitments. The Company does not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purpose.

Note 2

Capital management

The Company’s capital management objective is to maximise the total shareholders’ returns by optimising cost of capital through flexible capital structure that supports growth. Further, the Company ensures optimal credit risk profile to maintain/enhance credit rating.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual operating plan and long-term strategic plans. The funding requirements are met through internal accruals and long-term/short-term borrowings.
