The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of INR 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferntial amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
Under the erstwhile Indian Companies Act 1956, a general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. The purpose of these transfers was to ensure that if a dividend distribution in a given year is more than 10% of the paid-up capital of the Company for that year, then the total dividend distribution is less than the total distributable reserves for that year.
Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement of mandatory transfer of a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn and the Company can optionally transfer any amount from the surplus of profit and loss to the General reserves. This reserve is utilised in accordance with the specific provisions of the Companies Act 2013.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings are the profits that the Company has earned till date, less any transfers to general reserve, dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders. Retained earnings includes re-measurement loss / (gain) on defined benefit plans, net of taxes that will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss. Retained earnings is a free reserve available to the Company.
(i) Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company''s CODM is Managing Director.
Information reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods or services delivered or provided in respect of the ''Telecommunication'' and ''IT - Networking''.
Specifically, the Companyâs reportable segments under Ind AS 108 are as follows:
Telecommunication: Manufacturing and trading of Telecom products.
IT - Networking: Manufacturing and trading of IT-Networking products.
Aggregation criteria is not applied for any segment reported to the CODM.
The geographical segments individually contributing 10 percent or more of the Company''s revenues and segment assets are shown separately in the table below. Segment revenues has been disclosed based on geographical location of the customers. Segment assets has been disclosed based on the geographical location of the respective assets.
Defined benefit plans
The Company sponsors funded defined benefit plans for all qualifying employees. The level of benefits provided depends on the memberâs length of service and salary at retirement age.
The gratuity plan is covered by The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the gratuity plan, the eligible employees are entitled to post-retirement benefit at the rate of 15 daysâ salary for each year of service until the retirement age of 60 years without any payment ceiling. The vesting period for gratuity as payable under The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is 5 years.
Under the Compensated absences plan, leave encashment is payable to all eligible employees on separation from the Company due to death, retirement, superannuation or resignation. At the rate of daily salary, as per current accumulation of leave days.
The plans in India typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk.
The trustees of the trust fund are responsible for the overall governance of the plan.
a. Investment Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to government bond yields; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.
b. Interest Risk:
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the planâs debt investments.
c. Longevity Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
d. Salary Risk:
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the planâs liability.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at 31 March, 2025 by Independent, Qualified Actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the reporting period is 10 years (PY: 7 years).
Under the compensated absences plan, leave encashment is payable to all eligible employees on separation from the Company due to death, retirement, superannuation or resignation.
The Company''s risk management is carried out by Treasury department under policies laid down by the management. The Company''s activities expose it to market risk (which includes currency risk only), credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury department monitors the risk exposures on a periodical basis and reports to the Board of directors on the risks that it monitors and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures. Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.
The carrying amounts of the Company''s foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities (Trade payables) and Assets (Trade receivables) at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
The Company is exposed to the currencies USD and Euro on account of outstanding trade payables.
The following table details the Company''s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in INR against the USD and Euro. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management''s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. For current year, a positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the INR weakens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the INR against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative. For comparative period, a negative number below indicates a decrease in profit or equity where the INR weakens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the INR against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be positive.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. The Company monitors its trade receivables on case to case basis based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due. The concentration of credit risk is with three major customers constituting 92% of trade receivables. The Company does not hold any collaterals to cover its risk associated with trade receivables.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company could be unable to meet its short term financial demands. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the management, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company''s short-term, medium-term and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual short term and long term cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. A portion of the company''s surplus cash is retained as investments in Bank Deposits to fund short term requirements.
Liquidity analysis for non derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Company''s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company is required to pay.
Pursuant to the amendment in related party transactions definition as per SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 as amended subsequently, payment of dividend is not shown as related party transaction with effect from April 01,2022.
Sales, purchases and other transactions with related parties are on the same terms as applicable to third parties in an armâs length transaction and in the ordinary course of business. The management mutually negotiates and agrees price, discount and payment terms with the related parties by benchmarking the same to transactions with non-related parties, who purchase and sells goods and services of the Company in similar quantities. Such sales generally include payment terms requiring related party to make payment within 30 to 60 days from the date of invoice.
Terms and conditions for balances with related parties
Outstanding balances at the year-end are unsecured and interest free and settlement occurs in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables. The Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by & to related parties during the year ended March 31,2025.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources, that can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle such an obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss (FVTPL)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss.
a) Recognition and initial measurement
A financial asset is initially recognised at fair value and, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit and loss. A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated 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 instrument is classified as FVTOCI only if it meets both of the following conditions and is not recognised 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.
All other financial assets are classified as measured at FVTPL.
In addition, on initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces and accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting year, with any gains and losses arising on remeasurement recognised in statement of profit and loss. The net gain or loss recognised in statement of profit and loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the âother incomeâ line item.
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or riginated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.
The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life- time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.
If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous year, but determines at the end of a reporting year that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous year, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses. When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit l osses. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.
For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally applied to debt instrumens at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance sheet.
a) Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Companyâs own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Companyâs own equity instruments.
c) Financial Libilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities âat FVTPLâ or âother financial liabilitiesâ. Financial liabilities at FVTPL:
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
⢠It has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
⢠on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
⢠it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
⢠such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise;
⢠the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Companyâs documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
⢠it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and Ind AS 109 permits the entire combined contract to be designated as at FVTPL in accordance with Ind AS 109.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. The net gain or loss recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss. For Liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognised in OCI.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Companyâs obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Derecognition of financial liabilities:
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Companyâs obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange between with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
XII. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Managing Director of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker which reviews and assesses the financial performance and makes the strategic decisions.
XIII. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent consists of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit and loss after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for treasury shares, bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares).
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit or loss after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
In the course of applying the policies outlined in all notes under section 2 above, the Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future year, if the revision affects current and future year.
Management reviews the useful lives of property, plant and equipment at least once a year. Such lives are dependent upon an assessment of both the technical lives of the assets and also their likely economic lives based on various internal and external factors including relative efficiency and operating costs. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortisation expected in future periods.
In the normal course of business, contingent liabilities may arise from litigation and other claims against the Company. Potential liabilities that are possible but not probable of crystalising or are very difficult to quantify reliably are treated as contingent liabilities. Such liabilities are disclosed in the notes but are not recognised. The cases which have been determined as remote by the Company are not disclosed.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements unless when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
iii) Fair value measurements
When the fair values of financial assets or financial liabilities recorded or disclosed in the financial statements cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
iv) Taxes
In accordance with IND AS 12 - Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgements in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Companyâs past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (âMCAâ) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 31,2023, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023, applicable from April 1,2023, as below:
The amendments related to shifting of disclosure of erstwhile âsignificant accounting policiesâ to âmaterial accounting policiesâ in the notes to the financial statements requiring companies to reframe their accounting policies to make them more âentity specific. This amendment aligns with the âmaterialâ concept already required under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments will help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The definition of a âchange in accounting estimatesâ has been replaced with a definition of âaccounting estimates.â Under the new definition, accounting estimates are âmonetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.â Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12. At the date of transition to Ind ASs, a first-time adopter shall recognize a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Similarly, a deferred tax liability for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:
a) right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
b) decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities and the corresponding amounts recognized as part of the cost of the related asset.
Therefore, if a company has not yet recognised deferred tax on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities or has recognised deferred tax on net basis, the same need to recognize on gross basis based on the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
The amendments modify the disclosure requirement for business combination under common control in the first financial statement following the business combination. It requires to disclose the date on which the transferee obtains control of the transferor is required to be disclosed. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements.
(i) The Company does not have any Benami property, where any proceeding has been initiated or pending against the Company for holding any Benami property.
(ii) The Company does not have any charges or satisfaction which is yet to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period.
(iii) As per section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013, there are no balances outstanding or transactions with struck off companies.
(iv) The Company has not traded / invested in Crypto currency or virtual currency.
(v) The Company has not advanced or loaned or invested funds to any other person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign entities (Intermediaries) with the understanding that the Intermediary shall:

(b) provide any guarantee, security or the like to or on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(vi) The Company has not received any fund from any person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign entities (Funding Party) with the understanding (whether recorded in writing or otherwise) that the Company shall:
(a) Directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (Ultimate Beneficiaries) or
(b) provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.
(vii) The Company has no such transaction which is not recorded in the books of accounts that has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the Income Tax Act, 1961 (such as, search or survey or any other relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961).
(viii) The Company has not been declared wilful defaulter by any bank or financial institution or government or any government authority.
39. The Board of Directors has recommended a dividend of Rs. 4 (Rupees four only) per share equity share of Rs 10 each for the year ended March 31,2023 subject to the approval of the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
40. During the year ended March 31,2023, the Company has taken daily backups of the books of account and other books and papers maintained in electronic mode on servers physically located outside India. The Company is in the process of taking neccessary steps backups are maintained on servers physically located in India, as required by the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
ADC India Communications Limited (âthe Companyâ) is a public company domiciled in India. The Company is engaged in providing versatile, reliable and cost effective connectivity solutions to suit individual enterprise and telecom service provider requirements. The Company provides copper and fiber physical connectivity in telecommunications and data networking solutions including structured cabling.
2 BASIS FOR PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Ind ASs notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. Upto the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of previous GAAP, which includes Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. These are the first Ind AS financial statements of the Company. The date of transition to Ind AS is April 1, 2016. Refer Note below on first-time adoption of Ind AS for exemptions availed by the Company.
Basis of preparation and presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as in value in use in Ind AS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
3 Use of estimates and judgements
In the application of the Companyâs accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Litigations:
The Company is a party to certain direct tax and indirect tax disputes. Uncertain tax items for which a provision is made relate principally to the interpretation of tax legislation applicable to arrangements entered into by the Company. Due to the uncertainty associated with such tax items, it is possible that, on conclusion of open tax matters at a future date, the final outcome may differ significantly.
Impairment of Trade receivables
The recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgements in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Companyâs past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
Provision for Inventory
Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are identified from time to time and, where necessary, a provision is made for such inventories. The factors that the Company considers in determining the allowance for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventory include ageing of inventory, estimated shelf life and estimated usage, to the extent each of these factors impact the Companyâs business and markets. The Company considers all these factors and adjusts the inventory provision to reflect its actual experience on a periodic basis.
4.1 Fair value of investment property
(a) As at March 31, 2018, the fair value of the land was estimated as ranging from Rs. 4,354 lakhs to Rs. 4,528 lakhs (As at March 31, 2017 ranging from Rs. 3,918 lakhs to Rs. 4,440 lakhs and As at April 1, 2016 ranging from Rs. 3,744 lakhs to Rs. 4,353 lakhs)
(b) As at March 31, 2018, the fair value of the building was estimated as ranging from Rs. 490 lakhs to Rs. 522 lakhs (As at March 31, 2017 ranging from Rs. 490 lakhs to Rs. 529 lakhs and As at April 1, 2016 ranging from Rs. 490 lakhs to Rs. 536 lakhs)
(c) These fair value estimates are based on independent valuations.
(b) Terms/ rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees. Interim dividend is declared by Board of Directors. The final dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General meeting.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders..
(c) Shares held by holding/ ultimate holding company and/ or their subsidiaries/ associates
Out of equity shares issued by the Company, shares held by its holding company, ultimate holding company and their subsidiaries / associates are as below:
On July 31, 2017, a dividend of Rs.3/- per share (total dividend Rs. 138.00 lakhs) was paid to holders of fully paid equity shares. On July 15, 2016, the dividend paid was Rs.2.50/- per share (total dividend Rs. 115.00 lakhs).
In respect of the year ended March 31, 2018, the directors propose that a final dividend of Rs. 4/- per share be paid on fully paid equity shares. This final equity dividend is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and has not been included as a liability in these financial statements. The proposed equity dividend is payable to all holders of fully paid equity shares. The total estimated equity dividend to be paid is Rs. 221.82 lakhs (including dividend tax).
5. Segment Information
(i) Products and services from which reportable segments derive their revenues
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Companyâs CODM is Managing Director.
Information reported to the CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of goods or services delivered or provided in respect of the âTelecommunicationâ and âIT - Networkingâ.
Specifically, the Companyâs reportable segments under Ind AS 108 are as follows:
Telecommunication: Manufacturing and trading of Telecom products
IT - Networking: Manufacturing and trading of IT-Networking products.
Aggregation criteria is not applied for any segment reported to the CODM.
(v) Geographical information
The geographical segments individually contributing 10 percent or more of the Companyâs revenues and segment assets are shown separately in the table below. Segment revenues has been disclosed based on geographical location of the customers. Segment assets has been disclosed based on the geographical location of the respective assets.
6. Leasing Arrangements
The Company has entered into non-cancellable operating leases for office premises that are renewable on a periodic basis. The rent expense and the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operat ing leases are as follows:
7. Employee benefit plans Defined contribution plans
The Company makes Provident fund and Superannuation fund which are defined contribution plans, for qualifying employees. Under the said schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of the payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognises the amount paid / payable to such funds in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contributions made by the Company towards these schemes are as follows:
Defined benefit plans
The Company offers gratuity, a defined employee benefit scheme to its employees. Following are the risks associated with the plan:
A. Actuarial Risk:
It is the risk that benefits will cost more than expected. This can arise due to one of the following reasons:
Adverse Salary Growth Experience: Salary hikes that are higher than the assumed salary escalation will result into an increase in Obligation at a rate that is higher than expected.
Variability in mortality rates: If actual mortality rates are higher than assumed mortality rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. Since there is no condition of vesting on the death benefit , the acceleration of cash flow will lead to an actuarial loss or gain depending on the relative values of the assumed salary growth and discount rate.
Variability in withdrawal rates: If actual withdrawal rates are higher than assumed withdrawal rate assumption then the Gratuity benefits will be paid earlier than expected. The impact of this will depend on whether the benefits are vested as at the resignation date.
B. Investment Risk:
For funded plans that rely on insurers for managing the assets , the value of assets certified by the insurer may not be the fair value of instruments backing the liability . In such cases , the present value of the assets is independent of the future discount rate . This can result in wide fluctuations in the net liability or the funded status if there are significant changes in the discount rate during the inter-valuation period.
C. Liquidity Risk:
Employees with high salaries and long durations or those higher in hierarchy, accumulate significant level of benefits. If some of such employees resign/retire from the company there can be strain on the cash flows.
D. Market Risk:
Market risk is a collective term for risks that are related to the changes and fluctuations of the financial markets. One actuarial assumption that has a material effect is the discount rate. The discount rate reflects the time value of money. An increase in discount rate leads to decrease in Defined Benefit Obligation of the plan benefits & vice versa. This assumption depends on the yields on the corporate/government bonds and hence the valuation of liability is exposed to fluctuations in the yields as at the valuation date.
E. Legislative Risk:
Legislative risk is the risk of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in the plan assets due to change in the legislation/regulation. The government may amend the Payment of Gratuity Act thus requiring the companies to pay higher benefits to the employees. This will directly affect the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation and the same will have to be recognized immediately in the year when any such amendment is effective.
No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
Sensitivity Analysis
Gratuity is a lump sum plan and the cost of providing these benefits is typically less sensitive to small changes in demographic assumptions. The key actuarial assumptions to which the benefit obligation results are particularly sensitive to are discount rate and future salary escalation rate. The following table summarizes the impact in percentage terms on the reported defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period arising on account of an increase or decrease in the reported assumption by 50 basis points.
These sensitivities have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the accounting date. There have been no changes from the previous periods in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis.
8. Financial Instruments Capital management
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders. The capital structure of the company consists of equity only. The management of the company reviews the capital structure of the company on a semi-annual basis. The company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Financial risk management objectives
The Companyâs risk management is carried out by Treasury department under policies laid down by the management. The Companyâs activities expose it to market risk (which includes currency risk only), credit risk and liquidity risk. Treasury department monitors the risk exposures on a periodical basis and reports to the Board of directors on the risks that it monitors and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.
Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.
The carrying amounts of the Companyâs foreign currency denominated monetary liabilities (Trade payables) and Assets (Trade receivables) at the end of the reporting period are as follows.
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
The Company is exposed to the currencies USD and Euro on account of outstanding trade receivables and trade payables.
The following table details the Companyâs sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in INR against the USD and Euro . 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managementâs assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A negative number below indicates a decrease in profit or equity where the INR weakens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the INR against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be positive.
Interest rate risk
The company has not availed any loan from bank or any other parties. Hence company is not exposed to interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. The Company monitors its trade receivables on case to case basis based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due. The concentration of credit risk is with two major customers constituting 60% of trade receivables. This credit risk did not exceed 23% of gross monetary assets at any time during the year. The company does not hold any collaterals to cover its risk associated with trade receivables.
Credit risk also arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company could be unable to meet its short term financial demands. Liquidity analysis for non derivative financial liabilities-
The following table details the Companyâs remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company is required to pay.
The management considers that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in these financial statements approximate their fair values.

2.1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
ADC India Communications Limited ("the Company") is a public company
domiciled in India. The Company is engaged in providing versatile,
reliable and cost effective connectivity solutions to suit individual
enterprise and telecom service provider requirements. The Company
provides copper and fiber physical connectivity in telecommunications
and data networking solutions including structured cabling.
2.2 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India
(Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act, 2013 ("the 2013 Act") / Companies Act, 1956 ("the 1956
Act"), as applicable. The financial statements have been prepared on
accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting
policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are
consistent with those followed in the previous year except for change
in the accounting policy for depreciation as more fully described in
Note 37.
2.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian
GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions
considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the
year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of
the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results
could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the
actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which
the results are known / materialise.
2.4 Inventories
Inventories are valued as follows:
Raw materials, components, Lower of cost and net realizable value.
consumable and packing However, materials and other items held
materials for use in the production of inventories
(including materials are not written down below cost if the
in transit) finished products in which they will be
incorporated are expected to be sold at
or above cost. Cost is determined on a
weighted average basis.
Work-in-progress and Lower of cost and net realizable value.
finished Cost includes direct materials and labour
goods (including materials and a proportion of manufacturing
in transit) overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Cost of finished goods
includes excise duty. Cost is determined
on a weighted average basis.
Traded goods(including Lower of cost and net realizable
materials in transit) value. Cost is determined on a weighted
average basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion (as appropriate)
and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash
equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are
subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.6 Cash flow statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit /
(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects
of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of
past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are
segregated based on the available information.
2.7 Depreciation and amortization
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount
substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value. Depreciation
on tangible fixed assets has been provided on the straight-line method
as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act,
2013.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial
recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets
are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful economic life ranging from two to five years. The
amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at each
financial period / year end. If the expected useful life of the asset
is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization
period is changed accordingly.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are
measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
2.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which
normally coincides with the delivery of goods in terms of the
arrangements with the customer. Sales include Excise duty but exclude
Sales tax and Value added tax.
Revenue from Turnkey contracts, which are generally time bound fixed
price contracts, are recognised over the life of the contract using
Proportionate Completion method, with contract costs determining the
degree of completion. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are
recognised when probable.
Revenue from service contracts are recognised, when the rendering of
services under a contract is completed or substantially complete.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Rental
income is accounted on accrual basis.
2.9 Fixed Assets (Tangible / Intangible)
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase
price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in
arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to
its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the
existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day
repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are
charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which
such expenses are incurred.
2.10 Foreign currency transactions and translations
1 Initial recognition
Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are
accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the
transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date
of the transaction.
2 Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items are carried at historical cost.
3 Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on
reporting company''s monetary items at rates different from those at
which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses
in the year in which they arise.
2.11 Employee Benefits Defined contribution plans
The Company''s contribution to provident fund, superannuation fund and
employee state insurance scheme are considered as defined contribution
plans and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution
required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans in the form of gratuity fund, the cost of
providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit
method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance
sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss in the period in which they occur. Past service cost
is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already
vested and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the
average period until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit
obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the present value
of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognised past
service cost, as reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any asset
resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost, plus
the present value of available refunds and reductions in future
contributions to the schemes.
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised
during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits
include performance incentive and compensated absences which are
expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in
which the employee renders the related service.
The cost of short-term compensated absences is accounted as under :
(a) in case of accumulated compensated absences, when employees render
the services that increase their entitlement of future compensated
absences; and
(b) in case of non-accumulating compensated absences, when the absences
occur.
2.12 Segmental Reporting
(i) Identification of segments:
The Company''s operating businesses are organized and managed separately
according to the nature of products and services provided, with each
segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different
products and serves different markets. The analysis of geographical
segments is based on the location in which the customers are situated.
(ii) Allocation of common costs:
Common allocable costs are allocated to each segment according to the
relative contribution of each segment to the total common costs.
(iii) Segment policies:
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the
accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial
statements of the Company as a whole.
2.13 Leases
Where the Company is lessee
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item,
are capitalized at the lower of the fair value and present value of the
minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease term and disclosed
as leased assets. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance
charges and reduction of the lease liability based on the implicit rate
of return. Finance charges are charged directly against income. Lease
management fees, legal charges and other initial direct costs are
capitalised.
Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks
and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the Statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Where the Company is lessor
Where the Company as a lessor leases assets under finance leases, such
amounts are recognised as receivables at an amount equal to the net
investment in the lease and the finance income is recognised based on a
constant rate of return on the outstanding net investment. Operating
lease receipts are recognized as other income in the Statement of
profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2.14 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.15 Taxes on income
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax
is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or
substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax
relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity
and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income originating during the current
year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred income tax
relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity
and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing
differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible timing
differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations where the Company
has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses and items
relating to capital losses, all deferred tax assets are recognized only
if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that
they can be realized against future taxable profits.
At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred
tax assets. It recognizes unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent
that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case
may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date. The Company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred
tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be
realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that
sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a
legally enforceable right exists to set-off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred taxes
relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which
gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future
income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT
is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that
future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.
2.16 Impairment of assets
The carrying values of assets / cash generating units at each balance
sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment
exists.
If the carrying amount of the assets exceed the estimated recoverable
amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The
impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit
and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case
any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation
decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that
asset.
The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and
their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the
future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate
discount factor.
When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an
asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no
longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss
is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the
amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In
case of revalued assets such reversal is not recognised.
2.17 Provisions and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as
a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement
benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined
based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities
are disclosed in the Notes. Contingent assets are not recognised in the
financial statements.
2.18 Operating Cycle
Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the
normal time between acquisition of assets and their realization in cash
or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as
12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and
liabilities as current and non-current.
(b) Terms/ rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of
Rs.10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote
per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian rupees.
Interim dividend is declared by Board of Directors. The final dividend
proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the
shareholders in the ensuing Annual General meeting.In the event of
liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be
entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution
of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to
the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
