A Oneindia Venture

Accounting Policies of Dynamatic Technologies Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2 Material accounting policies

a Statement of compliance

These Standalone annual financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under
Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (''the Act'')
read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standard)
Rules (as amended from time to time) and other
relevant provisions of the Act.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied
except where a newly issued Indian Accounting
Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing
Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the
accounting policy hitherto in use.

b Functional and presentation currency

These Standalone financial statements are presented
in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company''s
functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-
off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise mentioned.

c Basis of Preparation

The Standalone financial statements have been
prepared on the historical cost convention and on an
accrual basis of accounting, except for the following
assets and liabilities which have been accounted as
follows:

(i) Defined benefit and other long-term employee
benefits where plan asset is measured at fair
value less present value of defined benefit
obligations.

(ii) Certain financial assets and liabilities that are
qualified to be measured at fair value, and

(iii) Assets classified as held for sale are measured
at the lower of carrying amount and fair value
less cost to sell.

d Use of estimates and management judgments

The preparation of Standalone financial statements
in conformity with Ind AS requires management
to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets on
the date of the Standalone financial statements and
the reported amount of revenue and expenses for
the year. Accounting estimates could change from
period to period. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in
estimates are made as the Management becomes
aware of changes in circumstances surrounding
the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected
in the standalone financial statements in the period
in which changes are made and, if material, their
effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone
financial statements.

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The application of accounting policies that require
critical accounting estimates involving complex and
subjective judgments and the use of assumptions
in these standalone financial statements have been
disclosed in the following notes:

(i) Useful life of property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets - Note 3:

The useful life of the assets are determined in
accordance with Schedule II of the Companies
Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life
is different from that or is not prescribed in
Schedule II, it is based on technical advice,
taking into account the nature of the asset, the
estimated usage of the asset, the operating
conditions of the asset, past history of
replacement, anticipated technological changes,
manufacturers warranties and maintenance.

(ii) Income taxes- Note 51:

In assessing the realisability of deferred tax
assets, the Management considers whether
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which the temporary differences
become deductible. The Management considers
the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment.
Based on the level of historical taxable income
and projections for future taxable income over
the periods in which the deferred income tax
assets are deductible, the Management believes
that the Company will realize the benefits of
those deductible differences. The amount of
the deferred tax assets considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if
estimates of future taxable income during the
carry forward period are reduced.

(iii) Provisions and contingencies- Note 20, 26
and 37 :

The recognition and measurement of other
provisions are based on the assessment of the
probability of an outflow of resources, and on
past experience and circumstances known at the
reporting date. The actual outflow of resources
at a future date may therefore vary from the
figure estimated at end of each reporting period.

(iv) Post-retirement benefit plans- Note 44 :

The obligation arising from the defined benefit
plan is determined on the basis of actuarial
assumptions which include discount rate,
trends in salary escalation and vested future
benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate
is determined with reference to market yields
at each financial year end on the government
bonds.

(v) Impairment of financial assets- Note 4, 5, 6,
10, 13, 14 and 45 :

The impairment provisions for financial assets
are based on assumptions about risk of default
and expected cash loss rates. The Company
uses judgement in making these assumptions
and selecting the inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on Company''s past history,
existing market conditions as well as forward
looking estimates at the end of each reporting
period.

(vi) Impairment of investments - Note 4 :

The impairment provisions for investments are
based on projections which inter alia include
sales and earnings before interest, depreciation
and amoritzation and tax. The Company uses
judgement in making these assumptions
and selecting the inputs to the impairment
calculation, based on Company''s past history,
existing market conditions as well as forward
looking estimates at the end of each reporting
period.

(vii) Leases- Note 40:

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the
lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease
adjusted with any option to extend or terminate
the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably
certain. The Company makes an assessment on
the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis
and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably
certain that any options to extend or terminate
the contract will be exercised. In evaluating
the lease term, the Company considers factors
such as any significant leasehold improvements
undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to
the termination of the lease and the importance
of the underlying asset to Company''s operations
taking into account the location of the underlying
asset and the availability of suitable alternatives.
The lease term in future periods is reassessed to
ensure that the lease term reflects the current
economic circumstances. After considering
current and future economic conditions, the
Company has concluded that no changes are
required to lease period relating to the existing
lease contracts.

Measurement of fair values

Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the
Company requires use of valuation techniques in
measuring the fair value of some of the company''s
financial assets and liabilities where active market
quotes are not available. In applying the valuation

techniques, management makes maximum use of
market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions
that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable
data that market participants would use in pricing the
instrument. Where applicable data is not observable,
management uses its best estimate about the
assumptions that market participants would make.
These estimates may vary from the actual prices that
would be achieved in an arm''s length transaction at
the reporting date. 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.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant
unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.

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 recognizes 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 45: financial
instruments.

f Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation (which includes
capitalised borrowing costs, if any) 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
costs of bringing an asset to working condition for its
intended use and estimated cost of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it
is located. Costs directly attributable to acquisition
are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment
are ready for use, as intended by management.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant
and equipment comprises the cost of materials,

direct labour and any other costs directly attributable
to bringing the item to its intended working condition
and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and
restoring the site on which it is located, wherever
applicable.

Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant
and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with these
will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs
are recognized in the statement of profit and loss
when incurred. The cost and related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the financial
statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and
the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed
off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or
the fair value less cost to sell.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and
equipment have different useful lives, then they are
accounted for as separate items (major components)
of property, plant and equipment.

Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition of
property, plant and equipment which take substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use are
capitalized to the extent they relate to the period till
such assets are ready to be put to use.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives
and residual value

Depreciation is provided on a Straight Line Method
(''SLM'') over estimated useful life of the property,
plant and equipment less their estimated residual
value as defined by the Management. Depreciation
for assets purchased / sold during the year is
proportionately charged.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

* The Management believes that the useful lives as
given above best represent the period over which
management expects to use these assets based
on an internal assessment and technical evaluation
where necessary. Hence, the useful lives for these
assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act
,2013.

The assets residual value and useful lives are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of
each reporting period. An asset''s carrying amount is
written down immediately to its recoverable amount
if the asset''s carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable amount.

Derecognition of property, plant and equipment

An item of property, plant and equipment is
derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected to arise from the
continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising
on the disposal or retirement of an item of property,
plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset and is recognised in the statement of
profit and loss. Gains and losses on disposal are
determined by comparing proceeds with carrying
amount. These are included in profit or loss within
other gains / losses.

Advance paid towards the acquisition of property,
plant and equipment outstanding at each balance
sheet date classified as capital advances under other
non current assets and the cost of the assets not put
to use before such date are disclosed under Capital
work in progress.

Intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company,
which have finite useful lives, are measured initially
at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is
carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization
and any accumulated impairment loss.

Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with
the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical
knowledge and understanding, is recognized in
statement of profit and loss as incurred.

An internally -generated intangible asset arising from
development (or from the development phase of an
internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the
following have been demonstrated:

- the technical feasibility of completing the
intangible asset so that it will be available for use
or sale;

- the intention to complete the intangible asset
and use or sell it;

- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

- how the intangible asset will generate probable
future economic benefits;

- the availability of adequate technical, financial and
other resources to complete the development
and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure
attributable to the intangible asset during its
development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-
generated intangible assets is the sum of the
expenditure incurred from the date when the
intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria
listed above. Where no internally-generated
intangible asset can be recognised, development
expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit
and loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally
generated intangible assets are reported at cost
less accumulated amortisation and accumulated
impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible
assets that are acquired separately.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it
increases the future economic benefits embodied
in the specific asset to which it relates. All other
expenditure, including on internally generated
software is recognized in profit and loss as and when
incurred.

Amortisation

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a
finite useful life using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of intangibles are as
follows:

The assets residual value and useful lives are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of
each reporting period.

h Impairment

(i) Financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking
basis the expected credit losses associated with
its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI
debt instruments. The impairment methodology
applied depends on whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk.

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company
applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for
measurement and recognition of impairment
loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach''
for recognition of impairment loss on trade
receivables. The application of simplified approach
does not require the Company to track changes
in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment
loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date, right from initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on financial
assets and risk exposure, the Company
determines that whether there has been a
significant increase in the credit risk since initial
recognition. If credit risk has not increased
significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide
for impairment loss. However, if credit risk
has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is
used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of
the instrument improves such that there is no
longer a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, then the entity reverts to
recognizing impairment loss allowance based on
12 month ECL.

(ii) Non-financial assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment

Intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment are evaluated for recoverability
whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment
testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher
of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in¬
use) is determined on an individual asset basis
unless the asset does not generate cash flows
that are largely independent of those from other
assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount
is determined for the CGU to which the asset
belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized in the statement of
profit and loss is measured by the amount by
which the carrying value of the assets exceeds
the estimated recoverable amount of the asset.
An impairment loss is reversed in the statement
of profit and loss if there has been a change in
the estimates used to determine the recoverable
amount.

The carrying amount of the asset is increased
to its revised recoverable amount, provided
that this amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined (net
of any accumulated amortization or depreciation)
had no impairment loss been recognized for the
asset in prior years.

i Leases

(i) The Company as a lessee :

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily
consist of leases for land, buildings and plant
and machinery. 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.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the
Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset
and a corresponding lease liability for all lease
arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for
leases with a term of 12 months or less (short¬
term leases) and low value leases. For these
short-term and low-value leases, the Company
recognizes the lease payments as an operating
expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options
to extend or terminate the lease before the
end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease
liabilities includes these options when it is
reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost,
which comprises the initial amount of the lease
liability adjusted for any lease payments made
at or prior to the commencement date of the
lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease
incentives. They are subsequently measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses.

ROU assets are depreciated from the
commencement date on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of the lease term and useful
life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are
evaluated for recoverability whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the
recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair
value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is
determined on an individual asset basis unless
the asset does not generate cash flows that
are largely independent of those from other
assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is
determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU)
to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at
amortized cost at the present value of the
future lease payments. The lease payments
are discounted using the interest rate implicit in
the lease or, if not readily determinable, using
the incremental borrowing rates in the country
of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are
remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to
the related ROU asset if the Company changes
its assessment of whether it will exercise an
extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU assets have been
separately presented in the Balance Sheet and
lease payments have been classified as financing
cash flows.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets:

The Company has elected not to recognise
right-of use assets and lease liabilities for leases
of low value assets and short-term leases.
The Company recognises the lease payments
associated with these leases as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor
is classified as a finance or operating lease.
Whenever the terms of the lease transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified
as a finance lease. All other leases are classified
as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor,
it accounts for its interests in the head lease
and the sublease separately. The sublease is
classified as a finance or operating lease by
reference to the ROU asset arising from the
head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized
on a straight line basis over the term of the
relevant lease.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and
net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises
purchase price, costs of conversion and other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition. In determining
the cost, weighted average cost is used. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business, less estimated
costs to sell. The comparison of cost and net
realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.
Inventories are stated net of write down or
allowances on account of obsolescence, damage or
slow moving items.

The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components - on a weighted
average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

The net realizable value of work-in-progress is
determined with reference to the net realizable value
of related finished goods. Raw materials and other
supplies held for use in production of inventories 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 realizable value. Fixed production overheads are
allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production
facilities. The provision for inventory obsolescence is
assessed periodically and is provided as considered
necessary.

k Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of
promised goods or services to customers and is
measured based on the consideration to which the
Company expects to be entitled to in a contract
with a customer and excludes trade discounts,
volume rebates and amounts collected on behalf of
government. For certain contracts that permit the
customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to
the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised
will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each
reporting period.

Where the Company''s contracts with customers
include promise to transfer multiple goods and
services to a customer, the Company assesses the
goods/services promised in a contract and identifies
distinct performance obligations in the contract.
Identification of distinct performance obligations is
made to determine the deliverables and the ability
of the customer to benefit independently from such
deliverables.

The Company considers indicators such as how
customer consumes benefits as services are
rendered or who controls the asset as it is being
created or existence of enforceable right to payment
for performance to date and alternate use of'' such
goods, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the
customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer,
etc. to determine whether the performance obligation
is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.

Revenue from customer contracts for design and
development of products/tools & jigs is recognized
as a performance obligation satisfied over time.
Revenue is recognized based on the stage of
completion of the contract. The management has
assessed that the stage of completion determined
as the proportion of total efforts expected to develop
the product at the end of the reporting period is an
appropriate measure of progress towards complete
satisfaction of these performance obligations under
Ind AS 115. Payment for these services is not due
till the completion of the development and therefore,
a contract asset is recognized over the period in
which the development services are performed

representing the entity''s right to consideration for
the services performed to date.

Export benefits are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss account when the right to receive
credit as per the terms of the entitlement is
established in respect of exports made.

Service income including management fees
is measured based on transaction price and is
recognized when an unconditional right to receive
such income is established and on the performance
of services.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess
of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract
assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act
of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional
right to receive cash, and only passage of time
is required, as per contractual terms. Unearned
revenue ("contract liability") is recognised when
there are billings in excess of revenue.

l Other income

For all financial instruments measured at amortised
cost, interest income is recorded using the effective
interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cash payments
or receipts over the expected life of the financial
instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate,
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Interest income is included in other income in the
statement of profit and loss.

Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s
right to receive the payment is established, which is
generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

m Investments in subsidiaries

Investment in equity shares in subsidiaries is carried
at deemed cost less impairments if any in the
financial statements.

n Financial Instruments

i) Financial assets

1) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities are
initially recognized when they are originated. All
other financial assets and liabilities are initially
recognized when the Company becomes a party
to contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset or liability is initially measured
at fair value plus transaction cost that are directly
attributable to its acquisition or issue.

2) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial instrument is
classified and measured at

- amortised cost

- fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI) - debt instruments;

- fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI) - equity investments; or

- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets are not classified 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 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 assets give
rise on a specified date to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amounts outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI 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 flow and selling financial assets;
and

- the contractual terms of the financial assets give
rise on a specified date to cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amounts 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
investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI-
equity investment). This election is made on an
investment-to-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as 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 mistake 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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss. Any
gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or
loss.

Debt investments at FVTOCI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair
value. Interest income under effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and
impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other
net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On
derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI
are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVTOCI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair
value. Dividends are recognized 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 recognized in OCI and are
not reclassified to profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

- the Company has transferred the rights to receive
cash flows from financial asset or

- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash
flows from financial asset but assumed a contractual
obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more
recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, the
Company evaluates whether it has transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is
derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

Where the Company has neither transferred a financial
asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is
derecognized if the Company has not retained control of
the financial asset. Where the Company retains control
of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be
recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the
financial asset.

ii) Financial liability

1) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial
recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss or amortised cost. All
financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair
value and, in case of loans and borrowings and
payables, net of directly attributable transaction
costs.

2) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends
on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss include financial liabilities held for trading
and financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition as at fair value through profit or
loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for
trading if they are incurred for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are
recognized in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial
recognition at fair value through profit or loss
are designated as such at the initial date of
recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109
are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL,
fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes
in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These
gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred
to statement of profit and loss. However, the
Company may transfer the cumulative gain or
loss within equity. All other changes in fair value
of such liability are recognized in the statement of
profit or loss. The Company has not designated
any financial liability as at fair value through profit
or loss .

Amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans
and borrowings are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the Effective Interest
Rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are
recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities
are derecognized as well as through the EIR
amortization process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into
account any discount or premium on acquisition
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance
costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the
Company are those contracts that require a
payment to be made to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because the specified party
fails to make a payment when due in accordance
with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized
initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for
transaction costs that are directly attributable to
the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the
liability is measured at the higher of the amount
of loss allowance determined as per impairment
requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount
recognized less cumulative amortization.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the
obligation under the liability is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When an existing financial
liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification
is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset
and the net amount reported in the balance sheet
if there is a currently enforceable legal right to
offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the
assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments and Hedge
Accounting

In the ordinary course of business, the Company
uses certain derivative financial instruments
to reduce business risks which arise from its
exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate
fluctuations.

The instruments are confined principally to
forward foreign exchange contracts, cross
currency swaps, interest rate swaps and collars.
The instruments are employed as hedges of
transactions included in the financial statements
or for highly probable forecast transactions/
firm contractual commitments. Derivatives are
initially accounted for and measured at fair value
on the date the derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently remeasured to their
fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The Company adopts hedge accounting for
forward foreign exchange and interest rate
contracts wherever possible. At inception of
each hedge, there is a formal, documented
designation of the hedging relationship. This
documentation includes, inter alia, items such as
identification of the hedged item and transaction
and nature of the risk being hedged. At inception,
each hedge is expected to be highly effective in
achieving an offset of changes in fair value or
cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The
effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce the
risk associated with the exposure being hedged
is assessed and measured at the inception and
on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of
designated hedges is recognised immediately in
the statement of profit and loss.

The Company designates certain foreign
exchange forward and options contracts as
cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign
exchange exposure on highly probable forecast
cash transactions. The Company determines the
existence of an economic relationship between
the hedging instrument and hedged item
based on the currency, amount and timing of
its forecasted cash flows. Hedge effectiveness
is determined at the inception of the hedge
relationship, and through periodic prospective
effectiveness assessments to ensure that
an economic relationship exists between the
hedged item and hedging instrument, including
whether the hedging instrument is expected to
offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.

If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes
is no longer optimal but the risk management
objective remains unchanged and the hedge
continues to qualify for hedge accounting,
the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by
adjusting either the volume of the hedging
instrument or the volume of the hedged item so
that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used
for risk management purposes. Any hedge
ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for
in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the time
of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

When a derivative is designated as a cash
flow hedge instrument, the effective portion
of changes in the fair value of the derivative is
recognized in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve,
and is transferred to the Statement of Profit and
Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecast
transaction.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the
hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated,
or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge
accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain
or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in
equity is retained in equity until the forecasted
transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is
no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative
gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to
the statement of profit and loss for the period.
In cases where hedge accounting is not applied,
changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss as
and when they arise.

o Employee benefits

(i) Defined benefit plans

The Company''s gratuity plan is a defined benefit
plan. The present value of gratuity obligation under
such defined benefit plans is determined based on
actuarial valuations carried out by an independent
actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method,
which recognizes each period of service as giving rise
to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement
and measure each unit separately to build up the final
obligation. The obligation is measured at the present
value of estimated future cash flows. The discount
rates used for determining the present value of
obligation under defined benefit plans, is based
on the market yields on Government securities as
at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods
approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other
comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss
does not include an expected return on plan assets.
Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is
calculated by applying the discount rate used to
measure the defined benefit obligation to the net
defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return
on plan assets above or below the discount rate is
recognized as part of remeasurement of net defined
liability or asset through other comprehensive
income. Remeasurements comprising actuarial

gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding
amounts included in net interest on the net defined
benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in
subsequent periods.

The Company''s gratuity scheme is administered
through Life Insurance Corporation of India and the
provision for the same is determined on the basis
of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent
actuary. Provision is made for the shortfall, if any,
between the amounts required to be contributed to
meet the accrued liability for gratuity as determined
by actuarial valuation and the available corpus of the
funds.

(ii) Short term employee benefits

All employee benefits falling due wholly within
twelve months of rendering the services are
classified as short-term employee benefits, which
include benefits like salaries, wages, short-term
compensated absences and performance incentives
and are recognised as expenses in the period in
which the employee renders the related service.

Short term employee benefits are measured on
an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the
related service is provided. A liability is recognized
for the amount expected to be paid e.g. short term
performance incentive, if the Company has a present
legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as
a result of past services provided by the employee
and the amount of obligation can be estimated
reliably.

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
recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company
recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a
defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(iii) Compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to
compensated absence. The employees can carry¬
forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating
compensated absence and utilize it in future
periods. The Company records an obligation for
compensated absences in the period in which the
employee renders the services that increases this
entitlement. The obligation is measured on the
basis of an independent actuarial valuation using
the Projected Unit method as at the reporting date.
Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to the
Standalone statement of profit and loss and Other
comprehensive income.

(iv) Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment
benefit plan under which an entity pays specified
contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation
to pay any further amounts. The Company makes
specified monthly contributions towards employee
Provident Fund to Government administered
Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined
contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is
recognized as an expense in the statement of profit

renders the related service.

(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 recognizes
cost of restructuring. If the benefits are not expected
to be settled wholly within 12 months of reporting
date, then they are discounted.

p Foreign currency transactions and
balances

Foreign currency are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and liabilities are translated
into relevant functional currency at exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
the settlement of such transactions and from
the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at year end
exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities
denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair
value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent
at the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency and measured
at historical cost are translated at the exchange
rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation
differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair
value are reported as part of the fair value gain or
loss and are recognized in profit and loss, except
exchange differences arising from the translation of
the following items which are recognized in OCI:

- equity investments at fair value through OCI
(FVOCI)

- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the
net investment in a foreign operation to the
extent that the hedge is effective; and

- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that
the hedges are effective.

q Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred
income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in
net profit in the statement of profit and loss except
to the extent it relates to items recognized directly
in equity, in which case it is recognized in other
comprehensive income.

Current income tax for current and prior periods is
recognized at the amount expected to be paid or
recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates
and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
all temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts in the financial statements except for the
cases mentioned below:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
measured using tax rates and tax laws that have
been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet
date and are expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of
changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets
and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in
the period that includes the enactment or substantive
enactment date.

Deferred tax is not recognized for:

- temporary differences arising on the initial
recognition of assets and liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination
and that affects neither accounting nor taxable
profits or loss at the time of the transaction;

- temporary investments related to investment in
subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements
to the extent that the Company is able to
control the timing of reversal of the temporary
differences and it is probable that they will not
reverse in the forcible future; and

- taxable temporary difference arising on the initial
recognition of goodwill.

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.
Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the
Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to
the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary
differences or there is convincing other evidence
that sufficient taxable profits will be available
against which such deferred tax can be realized.
Deferred tax assets, unrecognized 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 realized.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax
(''MAT'') paid in accordance with the tax laws in India,
which is likely to give future economic benefits in the
form of availability of set off against future income tax
liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as deferred
tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be
measured reliably, and it is probable that the future
economic benefit associated with the asset will be
realized.

The Company offsets, the current tax assets and
liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred
tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally
enforceable right and where it intends to settle such
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

r Discontinued operations and assets held for
sale:

(i) Discontinued operations:

A discontinued operation is a component of the
Company''s business, the operations and cash flows
of which can be clearly distinguished from those
of the rest of the Company''s business and which
represents a separate major line of business or
geographical area of operations and

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of
a separate major line of business or geographic
area of operations or

- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view
to re- sale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs
upon disposal or when the operations meets the
criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier.
When a operation is classified as a discontinued
operation, the comparative statement of profit and
loss is re-presented as if the operations had been
discontinued from the start of the comparative
period.

(ii) Assets held for sale:

Non-current assets and disposal group are classified
as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is
intended to be recovered principally through sale
rather than through continuing use. The condition
for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the
non-current asset or the disposal group is available
for immediate sale and the same is highly probable
of being completed within one year from the date of
classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets
and disposal group held for sale are measured at the
lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost
to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that
ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be
measured at the lower of carrying amount before the
non-current asset and disposal group was classified
as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/
amortization and its recoverable amount at the date
when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held
for sale" criteria.

1 (i) Reporting entity

Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in 1973 as Dynamatic Hydraulics Limited under provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. In 1992, the name of the Company was changed to Dynamatic Technologies Limited. The Company is in the business of manufacturing highly engineered products for the Aerospace, Automotive and Hydraulic industries. The Company is listed in India with National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange.

2 Material accounting policies

a Statement of compliance

These Standalone annual financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013 (''the Act'') read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules (as amended from time to time) and other relevant provisions of the Act.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

b Functional and presentation currency

These Standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company''s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise mentioned.

c Basis of Preparation

The Standalone financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis of accounting, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been accounted as follows:

(i) Defined benefit and other long-term employee benefits where plan asset is measured at fair value less present value of defined benefit obligations.

(ii) Certain financial assets and liabilities that are qualified to be measured at fair value, and

(iii) Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.

d Use of estimates and management judgments

The preparation of Standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and assets on the date of the Standalone financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses for the year. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the Management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the standalone financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the standalone financial statements.

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

The application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these standalone financial statements have been disclosed in the following notes:

(i) Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note 3:

The useful life of the assets are determined in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. In cases, where the useful life is different from that or is not prescribed in Schedule II, it is based on technical advice, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance.

(ii) Income taxes- Note 51:

In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets, the Management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. The Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, the Management believes that the Company will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

(iii) Provisions and contingencies- Note 20, 25 and 37 :

The recognition and measurement of other provisions are based on the assessment of the probability of an outflow of resources, and on past experience and circumstances known at the reporting date. The actual outflow of resources at a future date may therefore vary from the figure estimated at end of each reporting period.

(iv) Post-retirement benefit plans- Note 44 :

The obligation arising from the defined benefit plan is determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions which include discount rate, trends in salary escalation and vested future benefits and life expectancy. The discount rate is determined with reference to market yields at each financial year end on the government bonds.

(v) Impairment of financial assets- Note 4, 5, 6, 10, 13, 14 and 46:

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company''s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(vi) Leases- Note 40:

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company''s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the Company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.

(vii) Assets held for sale: (Refer Note 53):

Non-current assets and disposal group are classified as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group

was classified as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.

e Measurement of fair values

Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company requires use of valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of some of the company''s financial assets and liabilities where active market quotes are not available. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm''s length transaction at the reporting date. 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. The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.

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 recognizes 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 45: financial instruments.

f Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) 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 costs of bringing an asset to working condition for its intended use and estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.

Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is provided on a Straight Line Method (''SLM'') over estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value as defined by the Management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged.

* The Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets based on an internal assessment and technical evaluation where necessary. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act ,2013.

The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset''s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset''s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Derecognition of property, plant and equipment

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains / losses.

Advance paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date classified as capital advances under other non current assets and the cost of the assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work in progress.

g Intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company, which have finite useful lives, are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

An internally -generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

- the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

- the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

- how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

- the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

- the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including on internally generated software is recognized in profit and loss as and when incurred.

Amortisation

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of intangibles are as follows:

Category of asset

Useful life

Application Software

4 years

Prototype development

10 years

The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

h Impairment

(i) Financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.

(ii) Non-financial assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-inuse) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided

that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

i Leases

(i) The Company as a lessee :

The Company''s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, buildings and plant and machinery. 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.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (shortterm leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets:

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classified as a finance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. The sublease is classified as a finance or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

j Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost is used. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to sell. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis. Inventories are stated net of write down or allowances on account of obsolescence, damage or slow moving items.

The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components - on a weighted average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realizable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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 realizable value. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed periodically and is provided as considered necessary.

k Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers and is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in a contract with a customer and excludes trade discounts, volume rebates and amounts collected on behalf of government. For certain contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur and is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Where the Company''s contracts with customers include promise to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer, the Company assesses the goods/services promised in a contract and identifies distinct performance obligations in the contract. Identification of distinct performance obligations is made to determine the deliverables and the ability of the customer to benefit independently from such deliverables.

The Company considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of'' such goods, transfer of significant risks and rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc. to determine whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time.

Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Service income including management fees is measured based on transaction price and is recognized when an unconditional right to receive

such income is established and on the performance of services.

Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Unearned revenue ("contract liability") is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenue.

l Other income

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

Dividend income is recognised when the Company''s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend.

m Investments in subsidiaries

Investment in equity shares in subsidiaries is carried at deemed cost less impairments if any in the financial statements.

n Financial Instruments

i) Financial assets

1) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or liability is initially measured at fair value plus transaction cost that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

2) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial instrument is classified and measured at

- amortised cost

- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt instruments;

- fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investments; or

- fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Financial assets are not classified 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 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 assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI 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 flow and selling financial assets; and

- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts 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 investment''s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment). This election is made on an investment-to-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as 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 mistake 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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Debt investments at FVTOCI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVTOCI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized 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 recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.

3) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

- the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from financial asset or

- retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial asset but assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

ii) Financial liability

1) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

2) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss .

Amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified party fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet

if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments and Hedge Accounting

In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations. The instruments are confined principally to forward foreign exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and collars. The instruments are employed as hedges of transactions included in the financial statements or for highly probable forecast transactions/ firm contractual commitments. Derivatives are initially accounted for and measured at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The Company adopts hedge accounting for forward foreign exchange and interest rate contracts wherever possible. At inception of each hedge, there is a formal, documented designation of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes, inter alia, items such as identification of the hedged item and transaction and nature of the risk being hedged. At inception, each hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving an offset of changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at the inception and on an ongoing basis. The ineffective portion of designated hedges is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

The Company designates certain foreign exchange forward and options contracts as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of foreign exchange exposure on highly probable forecast cash transactions. The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of its forecasted cash flows. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument, including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows of hedged items.

If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used

for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in the Statement of Profit and Loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing.

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedging reserve, and is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrence of the related forecast transaction.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the statement of profit and loss for the period. In cases where hedge accounting is not applied, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as and when they arise.

o Employee benefits

(i) Defined benefit plans

The Company''s gratuity plan is a defined benefit plan. The present value of gratuity obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuations carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of remeasurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The Company''s gratuity scheme is administered

through Life Insurance Corporation of India and the provision for the same is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary. Provision is made for the shortfall, if any, between the amounts required to be contributed to meet the accrued liability for gratuity as determined by actuarial valuation and the available corpus of the funds.

(ii) Short term employee benefits

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as short-term employee benefits, which include benefits like salaries, wages, shortterm compensated absences and performance incentives and are recognised as expenses in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid e.g. short term performance incentive, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by the employee and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

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 recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(iii) Compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit method as at the reporting date. Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to the Standalone statement of profit and loss and Other comprehensive income.

(iv) Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee Provident Fund to Government administered Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

(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 recognizes cost of restructuring. If the benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of reporting date, then they are discounted.

p Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss and are recognized in profit and loss, except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognized in OCI:

- equity investments at fair value through OCI (FVOCI)

- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and

- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

q Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except for the cases mentioned below:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax is not recognized for:

- temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction;

- temporary investments related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the forcible future; and

- taxable temporary difference arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

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. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets, unrecognized 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 realized.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (''MAT'') paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, which is likely to give future economic benefits in the form of availability of set off against future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognized as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realized.

The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

r Discontinued operations and assets held for sale:

(i) Discontinued operations:

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company''s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from those of the rest of the Company''s business and which represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and

- is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations or

- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re- sale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operations meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When a operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit and loss is re-presented as if the operations had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

(ii) Assets held for sale:

Non-current assets and disposal group are classified as "Held for Sale" if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification of "Held for Sale" is met when the non-current asset or the disposal group is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as "Held for Sale". Non-current assets and disposal group held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Non-current assets and disposal group that ceases to be classified as "Held for Sale" shall be measured at the lower of carrying amount before the non-current asset and disposal group was classified as "Held for Sale" adjusted for any depreciation/ amortization and its recoverable amount at the date when the disposal group no longer meets the "Held for sale" criteria.

s Provisions (other than employee benefits)

(i) General

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax

rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(ii) Onerous contract:

Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

t Contingent Liability

A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation arising from the past events that may probably not require

1 Significant accounting policies

a) property, plant and equipment:

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation (which includes capitalised borrowing costs, if any) 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 costs of bringing an asset to working condition for its intended use and estimated cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Costs directly attributable to acquisition are capitalized until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use, as intended by management.

The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials, direct labour and any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to its intended working condition and estimated costs of dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which it is located, wherever applicable.

Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Assets to be disposed off are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less cost to sell.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Borrowing cost directly attributable to acquisition of property, plant and equipment which take substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.

Transition to ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to fair value certain items of property, plant and equipment and uses that fair value as its deemed cost at the date of transition, viz., 1 April 2016 (refer note 56). The remaining item of property, plant and equipment are valued in accordance with Ind AS 16 - Property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is provided on a Straight Line Method (‘SLM’) over estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value by the Management. Depreciation for assets purchased / sold during the year is proportionately charged.

The range of estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Freehold land is not depreciated.

* The Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which Management expects to use these assets based on an internal assessment and technical evaluation where necessary. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act ,2013.

The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within other gains / losses.

Advance paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date classified as capital advances under other non current assets and the cost of the assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital work in progress.

b) Intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if:

- It is technically feasible to complete the product or process so that it will be available for use

- Management intends to complete the development and use or sell it

- It can be demonstrated how the product or process will generate probable future economic benefits

- Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the product or process are available, and

- The expenditure attributable to the product or process during its development can be reliably measured.

The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including on internally generated software is recognized in profit and loss as and when incurred.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to fair value certain items of intangible assets and uses that fair value as its deemed cost at the date of transition, viz., 1 April 2016 (refer note 56). The remaining item of intangible assets are valued in accordance with Ind AS 38 - Intangible Assets.

Amortisation

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives of intangibles are as follows:

The assets residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

c) Impairment

(i) Financial assets

The Company recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

(ii) Non-financial assets Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

d) 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 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.

Leases in which a significant portion of risk and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the company as lessee are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight line over period of lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases.

e) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises purchase price, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In determining the cost, weighted average cost is used. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to sell. The comparision of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis. Inventories are stated net of write down or allowances on account of obsolescence, damage or slow moving items. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components- on a weighted average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realizable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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 realizable value. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed periodically and is provided as considered necessary.

f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and is inclusive of excise duty and net of taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government.

Revenue from the sale of goods and sale of scrap 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. This inter alia involves discounting of the consideration due to the present value if payment extends beyond normal credit terms. Revenue is recognized 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.

Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Service income including management fees is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established and on the performance of services.

g) Other income

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of profit and loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established, which is generally when the shareholders approves the dividend.

h) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company has chosen to avail the exemption provided by Ind AS 101 and value its investment in subsidiary at deemed cost. The deemed cost as defined in Ind AS 101 are as follows:

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

(ii) previous GAAP carrying amount at that date For the purpose of deemed cost, the Company has elected either (i) or (ii) mention above to measure its investment in each of its subsidiary (refer note 56).

i) Financial Instruments

A. Financial assets

i) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset or liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction cost that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

ii) Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial instrument is classified and measured at

- Amortised cost

- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt instruments;

- Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - equity investments; or

- Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

Financial assets are not classified 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 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 assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVTOCI 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 flow and selling financial assets; and

- The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts 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 investment’s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment). This election is made on an investment-to-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as 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 mistake 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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Debt investments at FvTocI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FvTocI:

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized 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 recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to profit or loss.

iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss on trade receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.

iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

- The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from financial asset or

- Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial asset but assumed a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

B. Financial liability

i) Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or amortised cost.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

ii) Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separate embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/ losses are not subsequently transferred to statement of profit and loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss .

Amortised cost

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified party fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance determined as per impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 and the amount recognized less cumulative amortization.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

j) Employee benefits Defined benefit plans

The Company’s gratuity plan is a defined benefit plan. The present value of gratuity obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuations carried out by an independent actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method, which recognizes each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measure each unit separately to build up the final obligation. The obligation is measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The discount rates used for determining the present value of obligation under defined benefit plans, is based on the market yields on Government securities as at the balance sheet date, having maturity periods approximating to the terms of related obligations.

Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of remeasurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The Company’s gratuity scheme is administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India and the provision for the same is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary. Provision is made for the shortfall, if any, between the amounts required to be contributed to meet the accrued liability for gratuity as determined by actuarial valuation and the available corpus of the funds.

Short term employee benefits

All employee benefits falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the services are classified as shortterm employee benefits, which include benefits like salaries, wages, short-term compensated absences and performance incentives and are recognised as expenses in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Short term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid e.g. short term cash bonus, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by the employee and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

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 recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

Compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The obligation is measured on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit method as at the reporting date.

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee Provident Fund to Government administered Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company’s contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

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 recognizes cost of restructuring. If the benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of reporting date, then they are discounted.

k) Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into relevant functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss and are generally recognized in statement of profit and loss,except exchange differences arising from the translation of the following items which are recognized in OCI:

- equity investments at fair value through OCI (FVOCI)

- a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and

- qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

i) Taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax expense is recognized in net profit in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognized at the amount expected to be paid or or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except for the cases mentioned below:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment or substantive enactment date.

Deferred tax is not recognized for:

- Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction;

- Temporary investments related to investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the forcible future; and

- Taxable temporary difference arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

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. Therefore, in case of history of recent losses, the Company recognizes a deferred tax asset only to the extent that it has sufficient taxable temporary differences or there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which such deferred tax can be realized. Deferred tax assets, unrecognized 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 realized.

The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) and deferred tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

m) provisions (other than employee benefits)

(i) General

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

(ii) onerous contract

Provision for onerous contracts. i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable cost of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

n) contingent Liability

A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

o) cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent includes cash on hand, 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) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby net profit before taxes for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

q) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the owners of the Company for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during reporting period.

The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average 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 equity shares.

Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the reporting date, unless they have been issued at a later date. In computing diluted earnings per share, only potential equity shares that is dilutive and which either reduces earnings per share or increase loss per share are included.

r) Segment reporting

Based on the “management approach” as defined in Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments. Accordingly, information has been presented along these business segments viz. Hydraulics, Aerospace and defense, Automotive and aluminum castings and Others.

s) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of sale of goods.

t) Government grants

Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to revenue, it is recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the periods to which they relate. When the grant relates to an asset, it is treated as deferred income and recognised in the statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset

u) Recent accounting pronouncements

Standards issued but not yet effective

On 28 March, 2018, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Amendments) Rules, 2018, notifying amendments to Ind AS 40, ‘Investment Property’, Ind AS 21, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, Ind AS 12, ‘Income Taxes’, Ind AS 28, ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’, ‘Ind AS 112, ‘ Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ and Ind AS 115, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’.’ These amendments maintain convergence with IFRS by incorporating amendments issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) into Ind AS. The amendments are applicable to the company from 1 April 2018.

Amendment to Ind AS 40, Investment Property

The amendment to Ind AS 40 lays down the principle regarding when a Company should transfer to, or from, investment property. Accordingly, a transfer is made only when:

i. There is an actual change of use i.e. an asset meets or ceases to meet the definition of investment property.

ii. There is evidence of the change in use.

The impact of the above stated amendment to the Company is Nil as the same is not applicable to the Company.

Amendment to Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.

The Company is in process of evaluating the effect of this on the standalone financial statements and expects the impact to be not material.

Amendment to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes

The amendment to Ind AS 12 considers that:

i. Tax law determines which deductions are offset against taxable income in determining taxable income in determining taxable profits.

ii. No deferred tax asset is recognised if the reversal of the deductible temporary difference will not lead to tax deductions.

The Company is evaluating the effect of this on the standalone financial statements and expects the impact to be not material

Amendment to Ind AS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendment to Ind AS 28 clarifies that a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities may elect, at initial recognition, to measure investments in an associate or joint venture at fair value through profit or loss separately for each associate or joint venture.

The impact of the above stated amendment to the Company is NIL as the same is not applicable to the Company.

Amendment to Ind AS 112, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

“The amendment to Ind AS 112 provide that the disclosure requirements for interests in other entities also apply to interests that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale or as discontinued operations in accordance with Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

The impact of the above stated amendment to the Company is NIL as the same is not applicable to the Company.

Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

Ind 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 1 April 2018 and will be applied accordingly.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

- Retrospective approach - Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

- Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach)

The Company has completed an initial qualitative assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of Ind AS 115 on accounting policies followed in its standalone financial statements. The quantitative impact of adoption of Ind AS 115 on the standalone financial statements in the period of initial application is not expected to be material.

The Company will adopt the standard on 1 April, 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly comparatives for the year ending or ended 31 March, 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted.


Mar 31, 2017

1 company Overview

Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in 1973 as Dynamatic Hydraulics Limited under provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. In 1992, the name of the Company was changed to Dynamatic Technologies Limited. The Company is in the business of manufacturing automotive components, hydraulics components, aerospace components and wind farm power generation. The Company is listed in India with National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange.

2 Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements.

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting and comply with the accounting principles generally accepted in India ("GAAP"). GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") read with relevant rules there under, the provisions of the Act, other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (''ICAI''), and the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The financial statements are prepared in Rupees in lacs unless otherwise stated.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India ("Indian GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.

c) Fixed assets and depreciation Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be) of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use have been capitalized.

The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets are capitalized at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances. The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in progress.

The Company had revalued certain land, building, plant and machineries and electrical installations based on valuations done by an external expert in the year 1991-92 and in 2010-11. An increase in net book value arising on revaluation of fixed assets is credited directly to Shareholders'' Fund under the heading of revaluation reserves and is regarded as not available for distribution. On disposal of a previously revalued item of fixed asset, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the net book value is charged or credited to statement of profit and loss except that, to the extent such a loss is related to an increase which was previously recorded as a credit to revaluation reserve and which has not been subsequently reversed or utilised, it is charged directly to that account. The amount standing in revaluation reserve following the retirement or disposal of an asset which relates to that asset is transferred to general reserve.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Spare parts that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services and are expected to be used during more than a period of twelve months have been capitalized at their respective carrying amounts.

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of assets.

*Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

d) Intangibles fixed assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it relates.

(ii) Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are amortized in the statement of profit and loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Accordingly, at present, these are being amortized on straight line basis. In accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard, the Company follows a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. However, if there is persuasive evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is longer than ten years, it is amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment.

Amortization is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype development 10 years

e) Inventories

(i) Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

(ii) Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and all incidental expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components - on a weighted average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

(iii) Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

(iv) The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

(v) The net realizable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realizable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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 realizable value.

(vi) The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed on a quarterly basis and is provided as considered necessary.

f) Employee benefits

Defined contribution plan

(i) Provident fund

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity makes specified monthly contribution towards Employee Provident Fund to Government administered Provident Fund Scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Defined benefit plan

(ii) compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. The calculation of the Company''s obligation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method as at the reporting date. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the period in which the absences occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Gratuity

The Company''s gratuity benefit scheme are defined benefit plans. The Company''s net obligation in respect of a defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating 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. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The calculation of the Company''s obligation is performed annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method as at the reporting date.

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans immediately in the statement of profit and loss account. All expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in employee benefits expense in the statement of profit and loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products (including sale of scrap and raw material) is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers. The amount recognized as sales is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, trade and quantity discounts. Revenue from sale of products has been presented both gross and net of excise duty.

Service income including management fees is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Lease/sub-lease rental income is recognized when billable in accordance with the terms of the contract with the clients.

Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

h) Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates existing at the year end and the exchange gains / losses arising from the restatement is recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except exchange differences on long term foreign currency monetary items that are related to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted in the carrying amount of the related fixed assets and exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in ''Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account'' (FCMITDA), and are amortized over the balance period of the relevant foreign currency item.

i) Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following its risk management policies. In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

Premium or discount on foreign exchange forward contracts taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset / liability is recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30 '' Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'', to the extent that the application of the principles does not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements.

The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized directly in shareholders'' funds under "hedge reserve" to the extent considered effective. Gain or loss upon fair value on derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

It is the policy of the Company to enter into derivative contracts to hedge interest rate risk related to loan liabilities. The derivative arrangements are coterminous with the loan agreement and it is the intention of the Company not to foreclose such arrangements during the tenure of the loan. Accordingly, the Company designates and applies cash flow hedge accounting on such types of arrangements.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder''s funds under "hedge reserve" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in statement of profit and loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder''s fund is transferred to statement of profit and loss in the same period.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and estimates including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.

j) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of sale of goods.

k) Investments

Long-term investments are valued at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific identification basis.

Investment are either classified as current or long-term based on Management''s intention at the time of purchase.

Investment that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.

l) Provisions and contingencies

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

m) Impairment of assets

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its 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 if 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. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognized.

n) Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/ liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset/ liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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.

Minimum Alternate Tax (''MAT'') paid in accordance with the laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax in the near future.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

o) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity shares during the year.

p) cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net 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 operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

q) cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash and balances with banks. The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of 3 months or less and that is readily convertible to known amounts of cash or cash equivalents.

1 Company Overview

Dynamatic Technologies Limited ("the Company") was incorporated in 1973 as Dynamatic Hydraulics Limited under provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 (''the Act''). In 1992, the name of the Company was changed to Dynamatic Technologies Limited. The Company is
in the business of manufacturing automotive components, hydraulics components, aerospace components and wind farm power
generation. The Company is listed in India with National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange.

2 Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements.

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting
and comply with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards prescribed
under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, the provision of
the Act (to the extent notified and applicable), other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
(''ICAI''), and the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The financial statements are prepared
in Rupees in lacs unless otherwise stated.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India ("Indian GAAP")
requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision
to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

c) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost (or revalued amounts, as the case may be) of acquisition or construction, less
accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use have been
capitalised.

The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes
or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Any trade
discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.
Such assets are capitalized at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the
lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss
on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the
benefit.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets, outstanding at each balance sheet date are shown under capital advances.
The cost of the fixed asset not ready for its intended use on such date, is disclosed under capital work-in progress.

The Company had revalued certain land, building, plant and machineries and electrical installations based on valuations done by
an external expert in the year 1991-92 and in 2010-11. Other than land, additional depreciation due to revaluation is adjusted
out of revaluation reserve. An increase in net book value arising on revaluation of fixed assets is credited directly to
shareholders'' fund under the heading of revaluation reserves and is regarded as not available for distribution. On disposal of a
previously revalued item of fixed asset, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the net book value is charged or
credited to statement of profit and loss except that, to the extent such a loss is related to an increase which was previously
recorded as a credit to revaluation reserve and which has not been subsequently reversed or utilised, it is charged directly to
that account. The amount standing in revaluation reserve following the retirement or disposal of an asset which relates to that
asset is transferred to statement of profit and loss.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the
cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which
they are incurred.

Depreciation on tangible assets is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of assets. Depreciation for assets
purchased/ sold during a period is proportionately charged. The Company estimates the useful life as determined as given below:

*Based on technical evaluation, the Management believes that the useful lives as given above best represent the period over which
Management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets is different from the useful lives as prescribed
under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Assets individually costing Rs.5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

d) Intangibles fixed assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset
is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it
relates.

(ii) Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and
understanding, is recognized in statement of profit and loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes.
Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically
and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to
complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead
costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in
the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit
and loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are amortized in the statement of profit and loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they
are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Accordingly, at present,
these are being amortized on straight line basis. In accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard, the Company follows a
rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is
available for use. However, if there is persuasive evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is longer than ten
years, it is amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets that are not yet available for use are
tested annually for impairment.

Amortization is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding
ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype development 10 years

e) Inventories

(i) Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(ii) Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and all incidental expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its present
location and condition. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components - on a weighted average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

(iii) Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

(iv) The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

(v) The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realisable value of related finished
goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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.

(vi) The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed on a quarterly basis and is provided as considered necessary.

f) Employee benefits

(i) Provident fund

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate
entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee
provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution
is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related
service.

(ii) Compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised
accumulating compensated absence and utilize it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of
employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services
that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the
Company expects to pay as a result of the used entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheetdate. The Company recognizes
accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non- accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the
period in which the absences occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and
loss.

(iii) Gratuity

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at
retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity
fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Company''s obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which
is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary using the projected
unit credit method. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products(including sale of scrap and raw material) is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are
transferred to customers. The amount recognized as sales is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, trade and quantity discounts.
Revenue from sale of products has been presented both gross and net of excise duty.

Service income including management fees is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Revenue from long-term contracts (contract revenue) is recognized on the percentage of completion method. Percentage of
completion method is applied by calculating the proportion that the actual costs bear to the estimated total costs of the
contract. The estimates of the contract revenue and costs are reviewed periodically by the Management and any effect of change
in estimate is recognized in the period such changes are determined. Liquidated damages/ penalties are provided for wherever
there is a delayed delivery attributable to the Company. Provision for foreseeable losses is made in the year in which such
losses are foreseen.

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet
date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Lease/sub-lease rental income is recognized when billable in accordance with the terms of the contract with the clients.

Export benefits are recognized in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of
the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

h) Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Transactions in foreign currency are recognized
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising on foreign exchange transactions
settled during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates existing at the year end and the
exchange gains / losses arising from the restatement is recognized in the statement of profit and loss, except exchange
differences on long term foreign currency monetary items that are related to acquisition of depreciable assets are adjusted in
the carrying amount of the related fixed assets and exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary
items are accumulated in ''Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account'' (FCMITDA), and are amortized over the
balance period of the relevant foreign currency item.

i) Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and highly
probable forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations by following its risk management policies. In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the
Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and currency swaps to hedge its risks
associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counter party
is a bank.

Premium or discount on foreign exchange forward contracts taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset / liability
is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss of the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30 ''Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'', to the extent that the
application of the principles does not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the
Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements.

The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are
re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized
directly in shareholders'' funds under "hedge reserve" to the extent considered effective. Gain or loss upon fair value on
derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as
cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

It is the policy of the Company to enter into derivative contracts to hedge interest rate risk related to loan liabilities. The
derivative arrangements are coterminous with the loan agreement and it is the intention of the Company not to foreclose such
arrangements during the tenure of the loan. Accordingly, the Company designates and applies cash flow hedge accounting on such
types of arrangements.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder''s funds under "hedge reserve"
is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in
statement of profit and loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized
in shareholder''s fund is transferred to statement of profit and loss in the same period.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and estimates including currency spot
and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.

j) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. Provision is made for
estimated liability in respect of warranty costs in the period of sale of goods.

k) Investments

Long-term investments are valued at cost less any other-than-temporary diminution in value, determined on the specific
identification basis.

l) Provisions and contingencies

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources
is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the
contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based
on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

m) Impairment of assets

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating
unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or
group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable
amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance
sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. An
impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would
have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

n) Leases

Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. The total lease rentals (including
scheduled rental increases) in respect of an asset taken on operating lease are charged to the statement of profit and loss on a
straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the
benefit.

o) Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/ liability as at the
balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that
such asset/liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are
recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there
is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of
realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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.

Minimum Alternate Tax (''MAT'') paid in accordance with the laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax
credit against future income tax liability, is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet if there is convincing evidence that
the Company will pay normal tax in the near future.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and
where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

p) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity
shares during the year.

q) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net 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 operating,
investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

r) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement comprise cash and balances with banks. The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of 3 months or less and that is readily convertible to known
amounts of cash or cash equivalents.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Assets individually costing Rs.5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

d) Intangibles fixed assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it relates.

Such intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment.

Amortisation is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype/ Product development 9 to 10 years

e) Inventories

(i) Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(ii) Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and all incidental expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Raw materials and components - on a weighted average basis

- Stores and spares - on a weighted average basis

- Work-in-progress - includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods - includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit - at purchase cost

The Company in the current year has revised its method of valuation of inventories to weighted average as compared to first in first out (FIFO) in the previous year. In the view of the Management, the revised policy would result in a more appropriate presentation of its financial statements. Had the Company followed FIFO method for valuation of inventories, the value of inventories as at 31 March 2015 would have increased from Rs.8,256 lacs to Rs.8,315 lacs and resultant increase in profit before tax from Rs.2,978 lacs to Rs.3,037 lacs.

(iii) Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

(iv) The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

(v) The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realisable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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.

(vi) The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed on a quarterly basis and is provided as considered necessary.

f) Employee benefits

(i) Provident fund

Employees receive benefits from a provident fund. The employee and employer each make monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan.

(ii) Compensated absences

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absence. The employees can carry-forward a portion of the unutilised accumulating compensated absence and utilise it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date. The Company recognises accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non- accumulating compensated absences are recognised in the period in which the absences occur. The Company recognises actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

(iii) Gratuity

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Company's obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognises actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products (including sale of scrap and raw material) is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers. The amount recognised as sales is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, trade and quantity discounts. Revenue from sale of products has been presented both gross and net of excise duty.

Service income including management fees is recognised when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Revenue from long-term contracts (contract revenue) is recognised on the percentage of completion method. Percentage of completion method is applied by calculating the proportion that the actual costs bear to the estimated total costs of the contract. The estimates of the contract revenue and costs are reviewed periodically by the Management and any effect of change in estimate is recognised in the period such changes are determined. Liquidated damages/ penalties are provided for wherever there is a delayed delivery attributable to the Company. Provision for foreseeable losses is made in the year in which such losses are foreseen.

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Lease/sub-lease rental income is recognised when billable in accordance with the terms of the contract with the clients.

Export benefits are recognised in the statement of profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognised using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

h) Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Transactions in foreign currency are recognised at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year is recognised in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates existing at the year end and the exchange gains/ losses arising from the restatement is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

i) Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following its risk management policies. In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

Premium or discount on foreign exchange forward contracts taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset / liability is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss of the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement', to the extent that the application of the principles does not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements.

The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognised directly in shareholders' funds under "hedge reserve" to the extent considered effective. Gain or loss upon fair value on derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

It is the policy of the Company to enter into derivative contracts to hedge interest rate risk related to loan liabilities. The derivative arrangements are coterminous with the loan agreement and it is the intention of the Company not to foreclose such arrangements during the tenure of the loan. Accordingly, the Company designates and applies cash flow hedge accounting on such types of arrangements.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in shareholder's funds under "hedge reserve" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in statement of profit and loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in shareholder's fund is transferred to statement of profit and loss in the same period.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and estimates including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.

j) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised.

k) Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. However, that part of long term investments which is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date is also presented under 'current assets' as "current portion of long term investments" in consonance with the current-non-current classification scheme of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

l) provisions and contingencies

The Company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

m) Impairment of assets

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

n) Leases

Assets acquired under leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. The total lease rentals (including scheduled rental increases) in respect of an asset taken on operating lease are charged to the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the benefit.

o) Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/ liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset/ liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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 realised. Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') paid in accordance with the laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax in the near future.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

p) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity shares during the year.

q) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net 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 operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

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 on a poll (not on show of hands) are in proportion to its share of the paid-up equity capital of the Company.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive any of the remaining asset of the Company after distribution of all preferential amounts, if any. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

2. Other Commitment

JKM Erla Automotive Limited (JEAL), a subsidiary of the Company, had issued 2,636,000 0.01% redeemable, non- cumulative redeemable preference shares [NCRPS] of Rs.10 each, with SHL Trading Limited ("Subscriber") on 8 June 2011 at a premium of Rs. 115 per share aggregating Rs.3,300 lacs. These shares were redeemable, in whole or in part after 18 months by subscriber, after giving a notice in writing to JEAL, at a price that ensures to the subscriber an internal rate of return of 18% per annum. Till 31 March 2015, the Company has redeemed 2,278,306 shares and balance 357,694 shares is redeemable as at 31 March 2015. The Company undertakes the liability in case JEAL is unable to redeem the NCRPS or does not pay the Redemption Value when due and payable. There are no other material commitments.


Mar 31, 2013

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements.

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (''GAAP'') under the historical cost convention on accrual basis other than the assets revalued. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (''the Rules'') and the relevant provisions of the Act to the extent applicable. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees rounded off to the nearest lacs.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

c) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use have been capitalised.

The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

The Company had revalued certain land, building, plant and machineries and electrical installations based on valuations done by an external expert in the year 1991-92 and in 2010-11. Other than land, additional depreciation due to revaluation is adjusted out of revaluation reserve.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Exchange differences arising in respect of translation/ settlement of long term foreign currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset are also included in the cost of the asset.

Tangible fixed assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method. The rates of depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Act are considered as minimum rates. If the Management''s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than 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, depreciation on the following fixed assets has been provided at the following rates (straight line method), which are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV:

Freehold land is not depreciated. Assets individually costing Rs.5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from the date on which asset is ready for use.

d) Intangibles fixed assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it relates.

(ii) Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in statement of profit or loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are amortized in the statement of profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Accordingly, at present, these are being amortized on straight line basis. In accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard, the Company follows a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. However, if there is persuasive evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is longer than ten years, it is amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets and intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment.

Amortization is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype/ Product development 8-10 years

e) Inventories

(i) Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(ii) Cost of inventories comprises purchase price and all incidental expenses incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The method of determination of cost is as follows:

- Work-in-progress – includes costs of conversion

- Finished goods – includes costs of conversion

- Goods in transit – at purchase cost

(iii) Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

(iv) Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

(v) The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the net realisable value of related finished goods. Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories 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.

(vi) The provision for inventory obsolescence is assessed on a quarterly basis and is provided as considered necessary.

f) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia.

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services is recognized as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.

Post employment benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company''s contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Defined benefit scheme

Gratuity and compensated absences liability is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Company''s gratuity scheme is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gain/(losses) are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers, which generally coincides with delivery to the customers. The amount recognized as sales is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, trade and quantity discounts. Revenue from sale of products has been presented both gross and net of excise duty.

Service income is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Liquidated damages/ penalties are provided for wherever there is a delayed delivery attributable to the Company. Provision for foreseeable losses is made in the year in which such losses are foreseen.

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

h) Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following its risk management policies. In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

Premium or discount on foreign exchange forward contracts taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset / liability is recognised in the statement of profit and loss over the period of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss of the reporting period in which the exchange rates change.

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30 '' Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'', to the extent that the application of the principles does not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements.

The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized directly in shareholders'' funds under "hedge reserve" to the extent considered effective.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder''s funds under "hedge reserve" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in statement of profit and loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder''s fund is transferred to statement of profit and loss in the same period.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and estimates including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.

j) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised.

k) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. However, that part of long term investments which is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date is also presented under ''current assets'' as "current portion of long term investments" in consonance with the current–non-current classification scheme of revised Schedule VI.

Current investments (including current portion thereof) are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long- term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

l) Provisions and contingencies

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

m) Impairment of assets

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

n) Leases

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets acquired on or after 1 April 2001 are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.

For operating leases, lease payments (excluding cost for services, such as maintenance) are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or without further payment, which option at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise.

o) Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/ liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset/ liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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. Minimum Alternate Tax (''MAT'') paid in accordance with the laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax in the near future.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

p) Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity shares during the year.

q) Cash flow statement

Mar 31, 2012

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements.

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('GAAP') under the historical cost convention on accrual basis other than the assets revalued. GAAP comprises mandatory accounting standards as specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, ('the Rules') and the relevant provisions of the Act to the extent applicable. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company. The financial statements are presented in Indian rupees rounded off to the nearest lacs.

This is the first year of application of the revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956 for the preparation of the financial statements of the company. The revised Schedule VI introduces some significant conceptual changes as well as new disclosures. These include classification of all assets and liabilities into current and non-current. The previous year figures have also undergone a major reclassification to comply with the requirements of the revised Schedule VI.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

c) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use have been capitalised.

The cost of an item of tangible fixed asset comprises

its purchase price, including import duties and other non-refundable taxes or levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use; any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

The Company had revalued certain land, building, plant and machineries and electrical installations based on valuations done by an external expert in the year 1991-92 and in 2010-11. Other than land, additional depreciation due to revaluation is adjusted out of revaluation reserve.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition/ construction of the qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Exchange differences arising in respect of translation/ settlement of long term foreign currency borrowings attributable to the acquisition of a depreciable asset are also included in the cost of the asset.

Tangible fixed assets under construction are disclosed as capital work-in-progress

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Assets taken on finance lease are initially capitalized at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method. The rates of depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Act are considered as minimum rates. If the Management's estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than 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, depreciation on the following fixed assets has been provided at the following rates (straight line method), which are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV:

Freehold land is not depreciated. Assets individually costing Rs.5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. Depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from the date on which asset is ready for use.

d) Intangibles fixed assets

(i) Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits from the specific asset to which it relates.

(ii) Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or processes. Development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and directly attributable borrowing costs (in the same manner as in the case of tangible fixed assets). Other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Intangible assets are amortized in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits of the asset. Accordingly, at present, these are being amortized on straight line basis. In accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard, the Company follows a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten years from the date when the asset is available for use. However, if there is persuasive evidence that the useful life of an intangible asset is longer than ten years, it is amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets and intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested annually for impairment.

Amortization is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype/ Product development 8-10 years

e) Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Consumable stores and spares used for maintenance are debited to the statement of profit and loss upon issuance.

The cost determined on first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis, comprises costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

The comparison of cost and net realisable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of finished products will exceed their net realisable value.

Provision for inventory obsolescence is provided as considered necessary.

f) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term employee benefits. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus and ex-gratia. The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits to be paid in exchange for employee services is recognized as an expense as the related service is rendered by employees.

Post employment benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays specified contributions to a separate entity and has no obligation to pay any further amounts. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards employee provident fund to Government administered provident fund scheme which is a defined contribution plan. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Defined benefit scheme

Gratuity and compensated absences liability is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Company's gratuity scheme is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gain/(losses) are charged to the statement of profit and loss.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers, which generally coincides with delivery to the customers. The amount recognized as sales is exclusive of excise duty, sales tax, trade and quantity discounts. Revenue from sale of products has been presented both gross and net of excise duty.

Service income is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Revenue from project execution services is recognized on rendering of services in accordance with the terms of the arrangement with customers using proportionate completion method (cost to cost method).

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

h) Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign currency transactions. Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange difference arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year is recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the year.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates existing at the year end and the exchange gains/losses arising from the restatement is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

i) Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following its risk management policies. In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, options and currency swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, where the counterparty is a bank.

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement', to the extent that the application of the principles does not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements.

The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized directly in shareholders' funds under "hedge reserve" to the extent considered effective. Gain or loss upon fair value on derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

It is the policy of the Company to enter into derivative contracts to hedge the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuation and interest rate risks related to the loan liabilities. The derivative arrangements are co-terminus with the loan agreement and it is the intention of the Company not to foreclose such arrangements during the tenure of the loan. Accordingly the Company designates and applies cash flow hedge accounting on such types of arrangements.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder's funds under "hedge reserve" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in statement of profit and loss. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder's fund is transferred to statement of profit and loss in the same period.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and estimates including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves and currency volatility.

j) Warranties

Warranty costs are estimated by the Management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised.

k) Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. However, that part of long term investments which is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting date is also presented under 'current assets' as "current portion of long term investments" in consonance with the current-non-current classification scheme of revised Schedule VI.

Current investments (including current portion thereof) are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long- term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

l) Provisions and contingencies

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

m) Impairment of assets

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

n) Leases

Leases under which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets acquired on or after 1 April 2001 are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.

For operating leases, lease payments (excluding cost for services, such as maintenance) are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or without further payment, which option at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise.

o) Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset/liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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. Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') paid in accordance with the laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of tax credit against future income tax liability, is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal tax in the near future.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

p) Earnings per share

The basic earnings/ (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net profit/ (loss) attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity shares during the year.

q) Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby net 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, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.


Mar 31, 2011

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, other than assets revalued. GAAP comprises of accounting standards notified by the Central Government of India under Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956, other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”) and guidelines issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India to the extent applicable. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in Indian Rupee thousands.

b. Principles of consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of Dynamatic Technologies Limited (“Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as 'the Dynamatic Group').

Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the following basis:

The financial statements have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating intra-group balances / transactions and resulting unrealized profits in full. The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise the amount of the relevant reserves as per the balance sheet of the Parent Company and its share in the post-acquisition increase/decrease in the reserves of the consolidated entities.

The excess/deficit of cost to the Parent Company of its investment over its portion of net worth in the consolidated entities at the respective dates on which investment in such entities was made is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as goodwill/capital reserve.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented, to the extent possible, in the same format as that adopted by the Parent Company for its separate financial statements.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

c. Use of estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, during the reporting year. Examples of such estimates include estimates of provision for warranty, provision for doubtful debts and the useful life of fixed assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

d. Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. All costs incurred in bringing the assets to its working condition for intended use have been capitalised.

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided using the straight-line method. The rates of depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Act are considered as minimum rates. If the management's estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of the acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than 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, depreciation on the following fixed assets has been provided at the following rates (straight line method), which are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV:

Pro-rata depreciation is provided from the date of purchase/ disposal on assets purchased or sold during the year. Assets individually costing Rs.5,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Certain Land, Building, Plant and Machineries and Electrical Installations are stated at revalued amount based on valuations done by an external expert in the year 1991- 92 and 2010-11. Other than land, additional depreciation due to revaluation is adjusted out of revaluation reserve.

e. Intangibles and amortization

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured.

Subsequent expenditure incurred on a recognized intangible asset is added to the cost of intangible asset when it is probable that the expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of performance; and the expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably.

Amortization is provided on a pro-rata basis on straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, not exceeding ten years as detailed below:

Application software 4 years

Prototype/ Product development 8-10 years

The carrying value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not in use or otherwise when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortized. It is tested for impairment at each balance sheet date.

f. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Consumable stores and spares used for maintenance are debited to the profit and loss account upon issuance.

The cost determined on First-In-First-Out (FIFO) basis, comprises costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis.

Raw materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written down below cost except where material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of finished products will exceed their net realizable value.

Provision for inventory obsolescence is provided as considered necessary.

g. Employee benefits

Gratuity liability is a defined benefit scheme and is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary. The Parent Company's gratuity scheme for Indian entities is administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India. Actuarial gain/losses are charged to the Profit and Loss account.

Compensated absence is a long term employee benefit and is accrued based on an actuarial valuation at the balance sheet date, carried out by an independent actuary.

Contributions to Provident Fund/Scottish equitable and standard life, which are defined contribution schemes are provided at pre-determined rates to the appropriate authorities.

h. Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to customers, which generally coincides with delivery to the customers.

Service income is recognized when an unconditional right to receive such income is established.

Revenue from project execution services are recognized on rendering of services in accordance with the terms of the arrangement with customers using proportionate completion method.

Unbilled revenues included in other current assets represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the balance sheet date. Unearned revenues included in current liabilities represent billings in excess of earnings as at the balance sheet date.

Interest on deployment of funds is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the underlying interest rates.

i. Foreign currency transactions and balances

The reporting currency of the Parent Company is Indian Rupee. However, the local currencies of the non-integral subsidiaries are different from the reporting currency of the Parent Company.

Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates ruling at the year end and the exchange gains/losses arising there from are adjusted to the consolidated profit and loss account, except in case of exchange differences relating to long- term monetary items which are dealt with in the following manner:

In so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to/deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated over the balance life of the asset.

Integral and non-integral operations

The financial statements of the foreign non-integral subsidiaries are translated into Indian Rupees as follows:- - All assets and liabilities, both monetary and non- monetary (excluding share capital, opening reserves and surplus) are translated using the year-end rates.

- Share capital and opening reserves and surplus are carried at historical cost.

- Profit and Loss items are translated at the respective monthly average rates.

- The resulting net exchange difference is credited or debited to the foreign currency translation reserve.

- Contingent liabilities are translated at the closing rate.

Exchange differences which have been deferred in foreign currency translation reserve are not recognised as income or expenses until the disposal of that entity.

j. Derivatives

In accordance with its risk management policies and procedures, the Parent Company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts and currency options to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions.

Effective 1st April 2008, the Parent Company has applied the principles of AS 30 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement', to the extent that the application of the principles did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Company Law Board and other regulatory requirements. The derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized directly in shareholders' funds under hedging reserve to the extent considered highly effective. Gain or loss upon fair value on derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

To designate a forward or option contract as an effective hedge, the management objectively evaluates and evidences with appropriate supporting documents at the inception of each contract whether the contract is effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder's funds under hedging reserve is retained there until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in profit and loss account. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder's fund is transferred to Profit and Loss Account in the same period.

k. Warranty

Warranty costs are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. The Parent Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised.

l. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalized. Other borrowing costs are accounted as an expense.

m. Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long- term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

n. Provisions and contingencies

The Parent Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

o. Impairment of assets

The Parent Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Parent Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account. If at the Consolidated Balance Sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

p. Leases

Leases under which the Parent Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Such assets acquired on or after 1st April 2001 are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.

For operating leases, lease payments (excluding cost for services, such as maintenance) are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or without further payment, which option at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise.

q. Income-tax

Income-tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax asset/liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset/liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent

that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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.

The Parent Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

r. Earnings Per Share

The basic Earnings/ (loss) Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit/ (loss) attributable to equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The Parent Company did not have any potentially dilutive equity shares during the year.

s. Government grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies from the Government are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with.

I Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.

All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are restated at the rates ruling at the year end and the exchange gains/losses arising there from are adjusted to the profit and loss account, except in case of exchange differences relating to long-term monetary items which are dealt with in the following manner:

(i) In so far as they relate to the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to / deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated over the balance life of the asset

(ii) In other cases, such exchange differences are accumulated in a "Foreign currency monetary item translation Difference account" and amortized over the balance term of the long-term monetary items but not beyond 31 march 2011.

j Derivatives

In accordance with its Risk management policies and procedures, the company uses derivative instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts and currency options to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain firm commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions.

Effective 1 april 2008, the company has applied the principles of as 30 ‘ Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement’, to the extent that the application of the principles did not conflict with existing accounting standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the company law Board and other regulatory requirements. the derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and designated as cash flow hedges are initially measured at fair value and are re-measured at a subsequent reporting date and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives i.e. gain or loss is recognized directly in shareholders’ funds under hedging reserve to the extent considered highly effective. gain or loss upon fair value on derivative instruments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as cash flow hedges or designated as cash flow hedges to the extent considered ineffective, are recognized in the profit and loss account.

To designate a forward or option contracts as an effective hedge, the management objectively evaluates and evidences with appropriate supporting documents at the inception of each contract whether the contract is effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in shareholder’s funds under hedging reserve is retained there until the forecasted transaction occurs subsequent to which the same is adjusted against the related transaction in profit and loss account. if a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in shareholder’s fund is transferred to profit and loss account in the same period.

k. Warranty

Warranty costs are estimated by the management on the basis of technical evaluation and past experience. the company accrues the estimated cost of warranty at the time when the revenue is recognised.

l. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of those fixed assets, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, are capitalized. other borrowing costs are accounted as an expense.

m. Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. all other investments are classified as long-term investments. current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. long-term investments are carried at cost. however, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

n. Provisions and contingencies

The company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of past (or obligating) 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. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e. contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations

under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.

o. Impairment of assets

The company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. if any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. if such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the profit and loss account. if at the balance sheet date, there is an indication that if 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. an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined; if no impairment loss had been recognised.

p. Leases

Leases under which the company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. such assets acquired on or after 1st april, 2001 are capitalised at fair value of the asset or present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower.

For operating leases, lease payments (excluding cost for services, such as maintenance) are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. the lease term is the non- cancellable period for which the lessee has agreed to take on lease the asset together with any further periods for which the lessee has the option to continue the lease of the asset, with or without further payment, which option at the inception of the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise.

q. Income tax

Income tax expense comprises 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 the 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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax asset / liability as at the balance sheet date resulting from timing differences between book profit and tax profit are not considered to the extent that such asset / liability is expected to get reversed in the future years within the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each 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.

The company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current tax assets and liabilities where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis.

r. Fringe benefit tax

Fringe benefit tax is determined at current applicable rates on expenses falling within the ambit of ‘Fringe Benefit’ as defined under the income tax act, 1961. the same has been abolished with effect from april 1, 2009.
