Letter to Shareholders

Dear Stakeholders,

The human race is facing possibly the most severe global health crisis of the last 100 years. The Covid-19 pandemic has also ravaged the global economic activities to an unimaginable extent. Over 20 million people have reportedly been infected and nearly 0.75 million precious human lives stand lost, at the time of me penning down this letter. Please join me to offer prayers for the speedy recovery of the affected brethren and peace for the departed souls. Let’s also pray for a fast and holistic eradication of this deadly scourge, by way of vaccines or any other means.

The human spirit of resilience, ingenuity and collective response has defeated many a colossal calamities. This too shall pass, paving the path for the return of normalcy. A new normal is what expert opinions are converging at. What is wrongly termed as social distancing is actually a reference to physical distancing. The social animal that the man is would pounce upon socializing, given the first opportunity. And automation has a big, real big role to play in the new normal.

Like we witnessed the software embed deep in human life, in the post-Covid world, electronics would get embedded in our living to an extent that could not have been imagined five-six months ago. Human interactions would increasingly shift to touch-less or less touch mode. Robotics would be fast embraced across physical retail; accelerated automation would be noticed across all modes of public transport, vending kiosks would increasingly replace man managed counters. Factories would rush to deploy IoT and logistics would get increasingly automated. With stakes going so high, the spotlight would shift on electronics and deservedly so.

The fallacy of the global supply chains, which has for way too long remained concentrated on supply monopolies of a region / country, has aptly been exposed by Covid-19. The Government of India’s visionary clarion call of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, a self reliant India, couldn’t have been better timed. On behalf of the entire Indian ESDM industry and also the Centum Group, I sincerely urge the Indian governments - federal and states’, regulators and the private sector including the startups to collaboratively create an enabling electronics ecosystem. One that thrives on intensified research and development, innovation and a globally competitive electronics manufacturing in the country, both in terms of quality and costs.

At Centum electronics, we have played a pioneering role in the emergence of a globally competitive Indian electronics sector. We relied on our own strength as well as collaborative exploration of technological advances with several overseas partners for well over two and a half decades. Consequently, Centum Electronics has become an Indian electronics MNC with manufacturing and research operations in five countries across three continents. Nearly thirty percent of our workforce comes from non-Indian nationalities and seventy five percent of our revenues occur in foreign currency.

The impact of slowdown and Covid-19 induced disruptions in the last quarter was visible in consolidated total income dropping to 8,986 million from 9,375 million recorded in the previous year. Your Company earned a net profit after tax of 278 million for the financial year 2019-20. The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of 25% ( 2.50 per equity share of face value of ` 10/-each), which is subject to Shareholders’ approval in our ensuing Annual General Meeting. In my

previous letter, I had indicated that we would be divesting one division of our French Subsidiary. I am happy to inform you that the divestiture is now complete as planned.

While Covid-19 may have some effect in terms of demand in the current year, it has, on a positive note, also triggered a structural re-orientation on supply chains across the globe. What started as a trade war last year (between US & China) has snowballed into a global phenomenon because of Covid-19. This has necessitated the global electronics ecosystem to rebalance the supply chains and mitigate risks from over dependence on a country or region.

We had experienced increasing share of the business from the existing customers and new business from even those customers who had no existing supply chain network in India in the past. These anecdotal past experiences have now turned into a clear trend of business moving towards India. The opportunities we are witnessing now are like never before and surprisingly; the speed of making decisions has accelerated to a few months from a couple of years noticed earlier. These positive changes have really energized us, and plans are afoot to ensure we scale to meet the demand.

On the flip side, immediate slowdown in demand on account of the pandemic and associated factors is leading to intense competition in the ER&D sector. Since we have the backend design centre set up in India, we have the ability to present an optimum solution to the customer to drive the ER&D business.

With the Government of India (GOI) pushing for Make in India and recently even banning imports of 101 defence products, the opportunities in this sector of our strength and interest will only increase going forward. Recently GOI has also opened up the space sector for private participation. While we are waiting for more clarity to emerge, we believe the government will only increase the focus on products to be designed and manufactured in India.

Keeping the future and the potential of your Company, we recently inducted Nikhil Mallavarapu as an Executive Director on the Board of the Company. I clearly remember some of our esteemed and long-term shareholders suggesting he be appointed on the Board for the last 2 years. The Board believed it was the right time to induct him to bring youth, new energy and thought process into the Company. I am sure it meets your consent, and I hope you will give him all the support, encouragement, and guidance you have given me over all these years.

I conclude with placing my sincere appreciation to our employees for their continued pursuit of excellence and thanks to our customers for believing in our quest for excellence. Our journey of excellence remains fuelled by your unstinting support and confidence, dear shareholders, and on behalf of the Board, I thank you for that.

Shifting global supply chains and our unique value proposition and positioning is connecting us to an ever promising future and I beckon all our stakeholders in our journey towards a stronger Centum and a better world.

Please be well and stay safe.

Warm regards,

Apparao V Mallavarapu

With deep domain expertise to design, develop and manufacture complex products, Centum is a strategic supplier and partner to large global OEMS engaged in these segments as well as Indian DPSUs, Ordnance Factories, DRDO and ISRO. Your Company has established a global footprint with multiple design & manufacturing locations in Europe, North America and India. More than 75% of revenue for the Company is generated from international customers and markets.

The Company’s mission is “To create value by contributing to the success of its customers, by being their innovation partner offering design & manufacturing solutions in high technology areas.”

2. Industry Overview

Electronics are pervasive and form an integral part of several industries ranging from Consumer Electronics, IT, Telecom, Medical, Strategic Electronics (Defence, Space, Aerospace), Industrial, Automotive & Transportation.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in the short term, we can expect turbulence in some of the sectors like Aerospace & Automotive, whereas other sectors are less affected or may even see some upside particularly in medical.

However, several macro trends point toward a very positive medium-term outlook for the Electronics Industry in India.

The clarion call of Atmanirbhar Bharath by the Honorable Prime Minister of India to make the nation “Self-Reliant”. Towards this Government of India has announced specific policies to promote manufacturing in India. This includes;
Reduction of corporate taxes,
Announcement of schemes to incentivize manufacturing including capital investment
Disincentivizing imports

==> picture [506 x 262] intentionally omitted <==

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The US-China Trade war which triggered many US companies to revisit their supply chains in light of the tariffs levied on import of electronic items from China.
The Covid-19 pandemic which has accelerated industries world over to derisk their manufacturing and supply chain footprint and to ensure business continuity plans are put in place. This has resulted in many companies moving to a “China plus One” strategy with India being a strong contender for several companies.

The outlook for each of the major segments we operate in is as follows:

a. Defence:

The Global defence industry is expected to remain stable. In India, the defence capital outlay stood at around 1.1 lakh crore for FY20 and has grown at a 7% CAGR over in the past 5 years. This trend is expected to continue given the geopolitical scenario and recent border tensions. According to estimates about 40% of the capital outlay was allocated toward domestic production while the remainder was toward imports. With the Government prioritizing Self-Reliance through new guidelines in the DPP, the balance is expected to shift in favor of domestic defence companies. The private sector also contributes only 20-25% of domestic defence production which is expected to increase with the opening up of the sector. In the recent policy announcement, Ministry of Defence, has set a target of 35000 crores for defence exports in the next five years.

b. Aerospace:

The Aerospace industry globally is among the most severely impacted segments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The large aerospace OEMS estimate a 40% or more reduction in deliveries in the short term and the medium-term impacts would be determined based on the health of aviation industry as airlines face bankruptcies and seek Government bailouts. Some level of consolidation is also expected in the aerospace segment.

c. Space:

The number of satellites and launches have steadily increased over the past 5 years for applications ranging from communications, defence, earth observation and other scientific missions. The demand for more satellites remains strong as transponder capacities need to be augmented to support increasing data/broadband and DTH requirement. ISRO’s Human Space flight program, other scientific and earth observation missions as well as MoDs objective to strengthen India’s space warfare capabilities provide further impetus to the sector over the medium term. The announcement of privatization in the space sector will undoubtedly increase the size of the space market in India. However, in the short term, until the policy announcements are clear and the implementation is in the spirit of self-reliance, certain missions may be delayed or put on hold.

==> picture [245 x 163] intentionally omitted <==

d. Transportation:

The Transportation sector is projected to remain relatively stable despite lower ridership in the short term. Governments are expected to continue major infrastructure projects across geographies to support longer term objectives of managing mobility more efficiently in cities and towns. Smart and Green mobility technologies will remain a focus in the years to come.

e. Industrial:

The Industrial Sector address a wide range of application including Oil & Gas, Industrial Automation for process industries, Electrification, Utilities etc. The sharp decline in oil price combined with the temporary reduction in capex budgets for many industrial companies is expected to have a short-term adverse impact in this segment. On the other hand, electrification and power grid infrastructure projects are expected to remain relatively stable. However, due to the USChina trade war and large multinationals moving to a “China plus One” strategy, India should benefit by bigger share of manufacturing than in the past.

f. Medical:

The Medical devices industry is a growing segment and has attracted all the more attention in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Product categories that cater to the diagnosis and treatment of COVID will clearly see a surge in demand in the short term as healthcare providers and governments setup more infrastructure to meet demand. There is also expected to be more investment and demand for remote monitoring and devices that enable telemedicine and predictive diagnostics. Regulation and a growing share of healthcare spend in emerging economies are also key focus themes in this segment in the near to medium term.

3. Strategy

Your Company has a clear strategy to focus on the high reliability segments of Strategic Electronics, Medical, Industrial and

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Transportation where product complexity, long product life cycles and stringent customer requirements result in high entry barriers.

In continuation of Management Discussion that was presented in the last annual report, we would like to update the progress as under:

We had planned to divest the Centum Adetel Transportation (Energy division) of our subsidiary Centum Adetel Group and we are happy to inform that this has been done.
The plan was to synergize the strength of our design center in Canada and manufacture in India to be more competitive to grow the Passenger Information System (PIS). This has happened and the orderbook is much stronger than a year ago.
The design center that was established in Bengaluru, has matured and also scaled to make Centum Adeneo France more competitive.

The Company’s strategies remain consistent in focusing on Strategic Electronics, Industrial, Transport and Medical while operating in high technology areas and catering to the global markets.

Your Company’s strategy is be a one-stop-shop solution provider and has therefore developed strong end-to-end capabilities in house to work with customers from concept to commissioning. Furthermore, a range of engagement models from Engineering Services, Manufacturing Services, or turn-key Build-toSpecification solutions, allow customers the flexibility to choose what is right for them on a particular project.

As the delivery of these services is quite distinct, the Company is organized into 3 operating business units.

Electronic Manufacturing Services:

The Company’s EMS Services include manufacturing solutions focused on High reliability, High Complexity products in high technology segments. Centum offers a wide range of manufacturing solutions from Printed Circuit Board Assemblies to Complex Finished products, Line Replaceable Units (LRU) and full system integration. The Company helps its customers realize challenging products by having customer-focused teams that leverage the streamlined processes and systems and adapt them to the specific requirements of the customer and product where necessary. By providing scalable manufacturing solutions and a flexible, proactive approach to managing the supply chain and lifecycle related challenges, Centum helps customers achieve their goals of lower Total Cost of Ownership and reduced time-tomarket among others.

The strategy, going forward, is to focus more on Medium to High volume business. We are also making investments in Digitalization and Automation which will help to improve operational efficiencies and productivity.

Due to US-China trade war and Covid-19, we are experiencing an increasing number of opportunities from US and Europe for our

==> picture [245 x 184] intentionally omitted <==

EMS business. Since we see a potential for growth in this division and to ensure that we convert these opportunities, we have strengthened our presence in US by hiring a Chief Growth Officer.

Engineering R&D services:

Engineering Services involve conceptualizing, designing and certifying of Electronic Hardware, Embedded Software, FPGA, Analog, Radio Frequency products, Power Electronics, etc. Centum Group has a global design strength of over 650 design engineers and for the last 25 years Company has been helping customers turn their ideas into products. Centum’s engineers work together in multidisciplinary teams to realize customized products for mission critical applications in high technology segments. The Company’s design centers are located in Europe, North America and India, which enable the Company to work closely with international customers while bringing together the best talent from around the world to work on complex problems and provide a competitive solution by managing the optimal onshore/offshore mix for the projects. Centum also provides flexible engagement models depending on the specific project requirements. Customers can choose between Consulting Engagements and Fixed Price Contracts.

Apart from the above, Cross Selling of ER&D services by the EMS division and Strategic Electronic division, is a strategic initiative that is being put in place to increase the growth of ER&D.

Strategic Electronics:

The Strategic Electronics Division provides Built to Specification services which includes taking a project from conceptualization to mass production quickly and efficiently. Centum’s unique positioning with a full range of integrated capabilities make it the ideal product realization partner. Customers choose turn-key build to spec offering due to convenience of a single Point of contact for Design/Engineering, Industrialization and Manufacturing which reduces the need for multiple interfaces at each stage of the project and also hastens the products time-to-market

facilitating a Design-To-Cost approach and reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. This engagement model involves higher IP and value creation opportunities for both the customer and for Centum. The Company is also able to better the product Lifecycle management by proactively and effectively managing issues such as obsolescence, performance upgrades, market-specific localization and cost reduction.

As we see a huge potential in the Defence business and to ensure that we give adequate focus, the sales & marketing team has been bifurcated into two separate verticals of Defence & Space, with both being led by experienced professionals.

4. Business Outlook

The past financial year FY 19-20 revenue was approximately flat on a standalone basis and down by 5% on a consolidated basis compared to the previous year. The impact of the COVID pandemic was felt in the last quarter of the financial year due to the global lockdown which began in March as well as certain supply chain delays experienced earlier in the quarter due to materials sourced from China. EBITDA margins also remained flat compared with the previous year.

Looking forward to the new year, the uncertainties associated with the pandemic pose a real challenge. But your Company’s strategy to be diversified by segment, geography and service offering makes it resilient through this challenging period. Several actions to optimize costs and conserve cash have been put in place by each of the operating divisions.

a. Strategic Electronics Business Unit:

Your Company has established itself as a key player in the Indian Defence & Space industry by working closely with customers and partners to design, develop and manufacture critical sub systems and systems in Missiles, Satellites, Electronic Warfare, Optronics, Radar, Communications among others. In the past year, the critical projects delivered to customers include EO receivers and signal processing modules for laser guided missiles, critical RF/ Microwave and Power subsystems for satellites and Electronics for Thermal Imaging sights among others.

In addition to the above products which are expected to continue, your Company is working closely with customers to contribute to new projects in the Defence satellites and land systems domains. The establishment of the Defence Space Agency by Indian armed forces presents opportunities for your Company which has established a long and credible space heritage. Also, a major focus area for defence procurement is expected to be around munitions and infantry combat vehicles. Your Company is working toward opportunities to supply various electronics products in this domain of land systems. However, due to the gestation periods and uncertainties associated with defence procurement and qualification, the timelines for realizing these products may be stretched.

b. Electronic Manufacturing Solutions:

Centum’s EMS division is well recognized as a leading supplier of high complexity products for international companies. Having established a strong track record of execution, your Company has been integrated into the global supply chain of large OEMs as a strategic supplier. Over the past year Centum has worked on New Product Introductions for defence and industrial customers which are expected to start production in the following year.

With the COVID related impacts expected to be seen over the course of FY 20-21, productivity improvement will be a key focus area. This includes identifying and capturing material cost reductions and operational productivity. Beyond this, your Company has a strong pipeline of opportunities from existing and new customers which have been created after focused sales efforts, improved customer satisfaction and also favorable macroeconomic factors.

c. Engineering Services:

This division has a strong domain expertise in designing and developing critical electronics and software solutions for large OEMs in the high reliability segments.

In the short term, there has been an impact on Aerospace and Automotive segments due to Covid-19. However, we are redeploying the resources to other sectors which are stable or have potential for growth. We will also focus on aggressively leveraging the India Design Centre for competitiveness and increase in the market share.

5. Risk Factor

The Covid-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented health and economic crisis. The effect has been on people, markets, supply chain etc. This is still an evolving crisis with concerns of a second wave and there remains a lot of uncertainty as to when this would be behind us. It is difficult to predict the risks associated with Covid-19. However, we have taken several actions to minimize the risks to the extent possible.

The geopolitical tension between India and China and actions by Government of India to curb imports from China (e.g. Apps) can have an effect on the supply chain.

The new Space Policy announced by Government of India, is not yet clear. While it may bring opportunities, it may also bring some inherent risks.

The products and services offered by the Company are hi-tech and complex, the approval and certification cycles can get much longer than originally planned. This can result in delays in deliveries affecting the revenues.

Also, some of the products are very complex with only a handful of companies in the world that are capable of developing them and so the risk of product development is high.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

The Govt of India procurement policy necessitates that the L1 bidder be awarded the business. Although there are processes and procedures for Technical Evaluation to qualify the bidder, sometimes bidders who don’t have the required capabilities are allowed to bid due to the complexities and risks of elimination. Such bidders may bid low without knowing the difficulties and complexities of the project.

Some of the projects that are awarded as BTP, which assumes that the designs are complete in all respects, are actually not so and the burden of design also falls on your Company. Due to this, margins are lower than expected and also results in time delays.

In some cases of BTS projects awarded in the D&A segment, the customer expects to receive the ownership of design which has not been paid for and to use our design in floating a BTP tender as a public tender. This causes the problem of not being able to capture the value over the life of the product.

In the BTP business where the material content is normally high, and the business is done on the basis of forecast, and if the forecast conversion rates are not good, we can get into excess and obsolete material issues. Although we have agreements and checks & balances with the customers on these issues, sometimes there is a possibility of these issues becoming contentious.

While we see significant growth opportunities for manufacturing in India, the increased demand for skilled manpower poses the risk of talent retention to your Company.

6. Human Resources

Your Company has some of the best talent coming from various domains of experience. Great emphasis is given in ensuring that the employees have a rewarding experience working for your Company. Special attention is given for training and upgrading of peoples’ skills, providing excellent working conditions, benchmark with other large companies while rewarding the employees. As on March 31, 2020, the employee strength of the Company at the group level was 2049.

The Kaizen, 5S and Lean Six Sigma initiatives have been in place and have been institutionalized with all the employees of the Company taking active part in the same. This has helped in improving the operational excellence continuously and the Company has seen the benefits of this in the form of better customer satisfaction.

7. Internal control systems and their adequacy

Your Company has placed strong emphasis and effort on the internal control systems. The internal checks and balances are augmented by a formal system of Internal Audit by KPMG.

Standalone Financial Statement

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of Centum Electronics Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of Centum Electronics Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31 2020, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2020, its profit including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the note no 57 to the accompanying Ind AS financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 which describes the uncertainties and management assessment of the financial impact of the outbreak of Corona virus (COVID-19) on the business operations and financial position of the Company. In view of the highly uncertain economic environment, a definitive assessment of the aforesaid impact on the subsequent periods is dependent upon circumstances as they evolve.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Allowance for inventory obsolescence
The Company held an inventory balance of`2,204.06 million as at March 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 11 and is a material balance for the Company. Inventory obsolescence allowance is determined using policies/ methodologies that the Company deems appropriate to the business. Signifcant judgement is exercised by the management in identifying the slow-moving and obsolete inventories and in assessing whether provision for obsolescence for slow moving, excess or obsolete inventory items should be recognized considering the production plan, forecast inventory usage, committed and expected orders, alternative usage, etc. Considering that the aforesaid assessment process is complex and involves signifcant estimates and judgements and the balance of inventory is material, we have identifed this as a key audit matter.	Our procedures in relation to evaluate the allowance of inventories included: • We obtained an understanding of how the management identifes the slow- moving and obsolete inventories and assesses the amount of allowance for inventories; • We assessed and tested the design and operating efectiveness of the Company’s internal fnancial controls over the allowance for inventory obsolescence; • We observed the inventory count performed by management and assessed the physical condition of the inventories; • We also assessed the allowance policy based on historical sales performance of the products in their life cycle; • We further tested the ageing of the inventories and the computation of the obsolescence level on a sample basis; • We have tested a sample of inventory items at signifcant components to assess the cost basis and net realisable value of inventory, on a sample basis; • We also assessed the Company’s disclosures concerning this in Note 42 on signifcant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 11 on Inventories to the standalone Ind AS fnancial statements.
Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment testing of investments in a subsidiary
As at March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of investment in Centum Electronics UK Limited, a subsidiary of the Company is Rs. 474.44 million which has underlying investment in Adetel Group SA (‘Adetel’). Adetel has incurred losses in the earlier years whereby the carrying value of the investment in Adetel as at March 31, 2020, is higher than Adetel’s net worth. The determination of recoverable amounts of the Company’s investments in Centum Electronics UK Limited relies on management’s estimates of future cash fows and their judgment with respect to the Adetel’s performance. Signifcant judgements are required to determine the key assumptions used in the discounted cash fow models, such as revenue growth, price, terminal value and discount rates. Due to the uncertainty of forecasting and discounting future cash fows, being inherently subjective, the level of management’s judgement involved and the signifcance of the Company’s investment as at March 31, 2020, we have considered this as a key audit matter. The basis of impairment of investment in subsidiary is presented in the accounting policies in Note 2.2(l) to the standalone Ind AS fnancial statements.	Our procedures in relation to evaluate the impairment of investment included: • We assessed whether the Company’s accounting policy with respect to impairment is in accordance with Ind AS 36 “Impairment of assets. • We have carried out assessment of forecasts of future cash fows prepared by the management, evaluating the assumptions and comparing the estimates to externally available industry, economic and fnancial data; • We have also assessed the valuation methodology and the key assumptions adopted in the cash fow forecasts with the support of our in-house valuation experts; • We also assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used. • We discussed potential changes in key drivers as compared to previous year / actual performance with management to evaluate whether the inputs and assumptions used in the cash fow forecasts were suitable. • We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the fnancial projection model; • We assessed the Company’s disclosures concerning this in Note 42 on signifcant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 5 pertaining to the disclosures of investment in subsidiary to the standalone Ind AS fnancial statements.

Information Other than the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. The other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Annexure 2 to the Independent Auditor’s Report of even date on the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of Centum Electronics Limited

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Centum Electronics Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2020 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the ‘Guidance Note’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting

with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements.

Centum designs, manufactures and also exports electronic products. It also provides design services to its customers. These include systems, subsystems and modules.

Information on related party relationships of the Company is provided in Note 43.

The standalone financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on July 28, 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Company in the preparation of its standalone financial statements are listed below. Such accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in these financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

2.1. Basis of Preparation

The standalone financial statements of the Company, have been prepared and presented in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable.

The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments) which have been measured at fair value.

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is Indian Rupee (“”) which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and all values are rounded to the nearest million ( 000,000), except when otherwise indicated.

2.2. Change in accounting policies and disclosures:

New standards and amendments :

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company has applied Ind AS 116 “Leases” for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption is described below.

Several other amendments apply for the first time for the year ending March 31, 2020, but do not have an impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company. The Company has not early adopted any standards, amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective/notified.

Ind AS 116 - Leases

Ind AS 116 supersedes Ind AS 17 Leases, including Appendix A of Ind AS 17 Operating Leases-Incentives, Appendix B of Ind AS 17 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease and Appendix C of Ind AS 17, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognise most leases on the balance sheet.

Lessor accounting under Ind AS 116 is substantially unchanged from Ind AS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in Ind AS 17. Therefore, Ind AS 116 does not have an impact for leases where the Company is the lessor.

The Company adopted Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 April 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. The Company elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at 1 April 2019. Instead, the Company applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying Ind AS 17 and Appendix C to Ind AS 17 at the date of initial application.

The effect of adoption Ind AS 116 as at 1 April 2019 (increase/(decrease)) is, as follows:

(increase/(decrease)) is, as follows:

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Before the adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Refer to Note 2.3 (j) Leases for the accounting policy beginning 1 April 2019.

The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which have been applied by the Company.

Leases previously classified as finance leases

The Company did not change the initial carrying amounts of recognised assets and liabilities at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as finance leases (i.e., the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities equal the lease assets and liabilities recognised under Ind AS 17). The requirements of Ind AS 116 were applied to these leases from 1 April 2019.

Leases previously classified as operating leases

The Company recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The right-of-use assets were recognised based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised. Lease liabilities were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

The Company also applied the available practical expedients

wherein it:

Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with
reasonably similar characteristics
Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous
immediately before the date of initial application.
Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application.
Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease.

Based on the above, as at 1 April 2019,

Right-of-use assets of ` 13.38 million were recognised and presented separately in the balance sheet.

This includes the lease assets recognised previously under finance lease of ` 5.98 million that were reclassified from Property, plant and equipment.

Additional lease liabilities of 15.60 million (including 8.20 million reclassed from finance lease liabilities) were recognised.

Also refer note 2.3(j) and note 46 (a) for further details.

Appendix C to Ind AS 12 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

The appendix addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of Ind AS 12 Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of Ind AS 12, nor does it specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The Appendix specifically addresses the following:

Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately
The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

The Company determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

The Company applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. The Company determined, based on its tax compliance, that it is probable that its tax treatments will be accepted by the taxation authorities. The Appendix did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to Ind AS 109 : Prepayment Features

with Negative Compensation

Under Ind AS 109, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are ‘solely

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding’ (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The amendments to Ind AS 109 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of an event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract. These amendments had no impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to Ind AS 19: Plan Amendment,

Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments to Ind AS 19 address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to determine the current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event. An entity is also required to determine the net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event, and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset).

The amendments had no impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company as it did not have any plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements during the period.

(ii) Ind AS 12 Income Taxes

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity recognises the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where it originally recognised those past transactions or events.

An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.

Since the Company’s current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

2.3. Summary of significant accounting policies

a. Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the standalone balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

i. Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
ii. Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
iii. Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
iv. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

Annual Improvements to Ind AS 2018

A liability is current when:

(i) Ind AS 23 Borrowing Costs

i. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,

The amendments clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop a qualifying asset when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

The entity applies the amendments to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies those amendments. An entity applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019.

Since the Company’s current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
iv. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

Advance tax paid is classified as non-current assets.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.

b. Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date using valuation techniques.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the standalone financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level

c.

input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the standalone financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company has applied Ind AS 115 which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognised. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue. The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 using modified retrospective approach. The effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. April 1, 2018).

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Sale of products and services

Revenue from sale of products is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the products. Revenue from sale of services is recognized as the service is performed and there are no unfulfilled obligations.

The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated if any. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company as part of the contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

Scrip Sales

Export entitlements in the form of Merchandise Export from India (MEIS) are recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

Management fees income

Income from management fees is recognised as per the terms of the agreement on the basis of services rendered.

Interest income

For all financial instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR 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 gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.

Rental income

Rental income from lease of premises under operating lease is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

d.

Contract balances

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional and contract liabilities are recognized as and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Refer to accounting policies on impairment of financial assets in section (o) Financial instruments below.

Trade receivables

A receivable is recognised if an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in section (o) Financial instruments below.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

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 an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

Commission income

e. Taxes on income

Commission income is recognised at the time when services are rendered in accordance with the rates as per the agreements entered into with the parties.

Current income tax

Tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of profit and loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability model. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all the taxable temporary differences. In contrast, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other

f.

comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

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.

In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The Company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

Non-current assets held for sale

The Company classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Company treats sale of the asset to be highly probable when:

a) The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset,
b) An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated,
c) The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

d) The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and
e) Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately in the standalone balance sheet.

g. Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’)

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at March 31, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment as on April 1, 2016.

Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate assets are derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

The Company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset having useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. These components are depreciated over their useful lives; the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of the principal asset.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category of asset*	Estimated useful life
Plant and equipment (including the related intellectual property)	8 years*
Ofce equipment	5 years
Furniture and fxtures	10 years
Electrical installations	10 years
Computers	3 years
Buildings	30 years
Vehicles	4 years

The Company, based on technical assessment made by the technical expert and management estimate, depreciates items of plant and equipment (including the related intellectual property) over estimated useful lives which are different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Land is carried at historical cost and is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of lease or estimated useful life, whichever is lower, on straight line basis.

Further, the management has estimated the useful lives of asset individually costing ` 5,000 or less to be less than one year, whichever is lower than those indicated in Schedule II. The management believes that these estimated useful lives are realistic and reflect fair approximation of the period over which the assets are likely to be used.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Machinery spares are depreciated on a systematic basis over the period of the remaining useful life of the fixed assets for which they are utilised.

h. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period with the affect of any change in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The

amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss unless such expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

A summary of the policies applied to the Company’s intangible assets is, as follows:

Intangible assets	Useful lives	Amortisation method used	Internally generated or acquired
Goodwill	Indefnite	No amortisation	Acquired
Computer software	Defnite(5years)	Straight-line basis	Acquired
Intellectualpropertyrights	Defnite(8years)	Straight-line basis	Acquired

i. Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until such time as the assets are substantially ready for the intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

j. Leases

The Company has lease contracts for office spaces, various items of plant and machinery and other equipment. The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Company as a lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and

leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (l) Impairment of non-financial assets.

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Company’s lease liabilities are included in Interestbearing loans and borrowings

iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from lease is recognised on

a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Accounting policy applicable till March 31, 2019:

The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease.

Company as a lessee

A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease.

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased asset or, at the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, whichever is lower. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the statement of profit and loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s general policy on the borrowing costs.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless either:

a) another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit even if the payments to the lessors are not on that basis; or
b) the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. If

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

payments to the lessor vary because of factors other than general inflation, then this condition is not met.

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Company to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Company’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

l. Impairment of non-financial assets and investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures

As at the end of each accounting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE, intangible assets, including goodwill and investments in subsidiary and joint venture companies to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the said assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill and the intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined:

(i) in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use; and

(ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s net fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use.

k. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

a) Raw materials and stores and spares: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
b) Finished goods and Work in progress: cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs.

Cost of raw materials, stores and spares,work-in-progress and finished goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(The amount of value in use is determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. For this purpose, the discount rate (pre-tax) is determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of the company suitably adjusted for risks specified to the estimated cash flows of the asset).

For this purpose, a cash generating unit is ascertained as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss is recognised for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss

m. Provisions and contingent liabilities

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, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. 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.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.

Provisions and contingent liability are reviewed at each balance sheet.

Decommissioning liability

Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated

n.

cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund and pension fund are defined contribution scheme. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable. The Company recognizes contribution payable to provident fund and pension fund as expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such longterm compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the standalone balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method using actuarial valuation to be carried out at each balance sheet date.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the standalone balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:

a) The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and b) The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

a) Service costs comprising current service costs, pastservice costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
b) Net interest expense or income.

o. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction cost and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant

period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell these financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried at fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

For financial assets maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Impairment of financial assets excluding investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures

Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

The Company recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, which involves use of provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted under Ind AS 109 – Impairment loss on investments.

For financial assets whose credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition, loss allowance equal to twelve months expected credit losses is recognised. Loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognised if the credit risk on the financial instruments has significantly increased since initial recognition.

De-recognition of financial assets

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

The Company de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109.

If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.

If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of de-recognition and the consideration received is recognised in statement of profit or loss.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method where the time value of money is significant. Interest bearing bank loans, overdrafts are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in the statement of profit and loss.

For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

a) 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 debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.

b) De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised 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 recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Off-setting of financial instruments

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

p. Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest fluctuation risks, etc. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Refer to note 51 for more details.

Cash and cash equivalents

q.

Cash and cash equivalent in the standalone balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

r. Share-based payments

Certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

s.

t.

are entitled to share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Cash dividend

The Company recognises a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements, transactions in the currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in the foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value

that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the retranslation or settlement of other monetary items are included in the statement of profit and loss for the period.

Research and development expenditure

u.

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate all the following:

i. The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
ii. Its intention to complete the asset
iii. Its ability to use or sell the asset
iv. How the asset will generate future economic benefits
v. The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset
vi. The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development.

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset. The cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project. Amortization is recognized in the standalone statement of profit and loss. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

v. Corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) expenditure

The Company charges its CSR expenditure during the year to the statement of profit and loss.

w. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders of the parent company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all

dilutive potential equity shares.

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

40. Income tax

The Company is subject to income tax in India on the basis of standalone financial statements. As per the Income Tax Act, the Company is liable to pay income tax which is the higher of regular income tax payable or the amount payable based on the provisions applicable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). MAT paid in excess of regular income tax during a year can be carried forward for a period of 15 years and can be offset against future tax liabilities. Business loss can be carried forward for a maximum period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year to which the loss pertains. Unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

Pursuant to the Taxation Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (‘Ordinance’) issued by Ministry of Law and Justice (Legislative Department) on September 20, 2019 which is effective from April 1, 2019, domestic companies have the option to pay income tax at 22% plus applicable surcharge and cess (‘new tax regime’) subject to certain conditions. The Company based on the current projections has chosen to adopt the reduced rates of tax as per the Income Tax Act, 1961 from the financial year 2020-21 and accordingly the Company has accounted deferred tax asset based on the reduced applicable tax rates.

Income tax expenses in the statement of profit and loss consist of the following:

		(`in million)
	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019

41. Earnings per share (‘EPS’)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit / loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares into equity shares.

The following reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations:

42 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s standalone financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

Significant judgements and estimates relating to the carrying values of assets and liabilities include impairment of investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, impairment of goodwill, provision for employee benefits and other provisions, recoverability of deferred tax assets, commitments, contingencies and provision for inventory obsolesces and estimating the incremental borrowing rate.

(i) Estimates and assumptions:

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Impairment of non current asset including goodwill and investments

Determining whether investment and goodwill are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the respective asset or the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on DCF model. Further, the cash flow projections are based on estimates and assumptions which are considered as reasonable by the management.

Taxes

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer note 49 for further disclosures.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Company, including legal and contractual claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds where remaining maturity of such bond correspond to expected term of defined benefit obligation.

The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables for India. Those mortality tables tend to change only at interval in response to demographic changes. Future salary increases and gratuity increases are based on expected future inflation rates for India.

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 44.

Provision for inventory obsolescence

Inventory obsolescence provision are determined using policies framed by the Company and in accordance with the methodologies that the Company deems appropriate to the business. There is a significant level of judgment involved in assessing whether provision for obsolescence for slow moving, excess or obsolete inventory items should be recognized considering orders in hand, expected orders, alternative usage, etc.

Leases - Estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Company ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

b) Defined benefit plans

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the act, every employee who has completed five years or more of service gets gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of service. The level of benefits provided depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age. The Gratuity plan is unfunded.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the standalone statement of profit or loss and amounts recognised in the standalone balance sheet for gratuity benefit:

vi. The principal assumptions used in determining gratuity obligations for the Company’s plan are shown below:

( ` in million)

		(`in million)
Particulars	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Discount rate(in %)	6.55%	7.43%
Salaryescalation rate(in %)	7.00%	7.00%
Employee Turnover/ Withdrawal Rate	Age 21 - 30 Yrs : 15% Age 30 - 34 Yrs : 10% Age 35 - 44 Yrs : 5% Age 45 - 50 Yrs : 3% Age 51 - 54 Yrs : 2% Age 55 - 57 Yrs : 1%
Retirement age	58years	58years
Mortality Rate	Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14)Ultimate	Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2012-14)Ultimate

Notes:

i) The estimate of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand factors in the employment market.
ii) Plan Characteristics and Associated Risks:

The Gratuity scheme is a Defined Benefit Plan that provides for a lump sum payment made on exit either by way of retirement, death or disability. The benefits are defined on the basis of final salary and the period of service and paid as lump sum at exit. The Plan design means the risks commonly affecting the liabilities and the financial results are expected to be:

a. Discount rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase
b. Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation
c. Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

vii. A quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption as at March 31, 2020 is as shown below:

( ` in million)

==> picture [440 x 143] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Discount rate
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% increase in discount rate (4.31) (3.57)
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% decrease in discount rate 4.57 3.79
Salary escalation rate
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% increase in salary 2.63 2.18
escalation rate
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% decrease in salary (2.46) (2.04)
escalation rate
Attrition rate
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% increase in attrition rate 0.25 0.20
Impact on defined benefit obligation due to 1% decrease in attrition rate (0.34) (0.28)
----- End of picture text -----

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

45 Segment information - Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segments’

(a) Information about reportable segments

Basis of identifying operating segments / reportable segments:

(i) Basis of identifying operating segments:

Operating segments are identified as those components of the Company (a) that engage in business activities to earn revenues and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the Company’s other components); (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segment on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as ‘unallocated’

(ii) Reportable segments:

An operating segment is classified as reportable segment if reported revenue (including inter-segment revenue) or absolute amount of result or assets exceed 10% or more of the combined total of all the operating segments.

CODM evaluates the performance of the Company based on the single operative segment as ESDM. Therefore, there is only one reportable segment called ESDM in accordance with the requirement of Ind AS 108 “Operating Segments”.

46. Leases, Commitments and contingencies

(a) Leases I. Company as lessee

The Company has lease contracts for office facilities and equipment. The lease term of the office facilities and for equipment is generally 3 -5 years. The Company’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets.

Refer to note 2 (j) Leases for the accounting policy prior to April 01, 2019.

The Company also has certain leases of computer and computer equipments with low value. The Company applies the ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases.

The Company has lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).

The lease liabilities as at April 01, 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as of March 31, 2019, as follows:

The Management is of the view that there are interpretative challenges on the application of the judgement retrospectively. Based on the legal advice and in the absence of reliable measurement of the provision for earlier periods, the Company has made a provision for provident fund contribution pursuant to the judgement only from the date of Supreme Court Order. The Company will evaluate its position and update its provision, if required, on receiving further clarity on the subject. The Company does not expect any material impact of the same.

48. Capital Management

The Company’s capital management is intended to create value for the shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long term and short term goals of the Company.

The Company determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan coupled with long term and short term strategic investment and expansion plans. The funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations and long term and short term bank borrowings.

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital plus total debt. The Company’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio at an optimum level to ensure that the debt related covenants are complied with.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company’s capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

(b) Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, as described below:

Quoted prices in an active market (Level 1): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets that are measured by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This category consists of investment in quoted equity shares, and mutual fund investments.

Valuation techniques with observable inputs (Level 2): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities, measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).

Valuation techniques with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): This level of hierarchy includes financial assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part, using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.

||(**in million)**|**(**in million)|(**in million)**|**(**in million)|
|---|---|---|---|---|

(i) Short-term financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.
(ii) Interest rate swaps are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices together with forecasted cash flow information where applicable.
(iii) Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.
(iv) There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020.

(c) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade receivables and other financial assets and cash and bank balances are dervied from its operations.

In the course of its business, the Company is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Company has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management framework aims to:

(i) create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s business plan.
(ii) achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity price fluctuations, liquidity and other market changes. Future specific market movements cannot be normally predicted with reasonable accuracy.

(a) Market risk- Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s debt obligations with floating interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

		(`in million)
Particulars	Increase/ decrease in basispoints	Efect onproft before tax
March 31,2020
	+50	(7.47)
	-50	7.47
March 31,2019
	+50	(7.94)
	-50	7.94

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

(b) Market risk- Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Foreign currency sensitivity			(`in million)
Particulars	Change in currency	Efect onproft o	r loss before tax
		Strengthening	Weakening
March 31, 2020
USD	5%	(40.19)	40.19

March 31, 2019
USD	5%	(30.67)	30.67
EURO	5%	(8.05)	8.05

The sensitivity analysis has been based on the composition of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

(c) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk and concentration thereof principally consist of trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents.

The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk was 2,223.57 million and 2,445.62 million as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 respectively, being the total carrying value of trade receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits, investments (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) and other financial assets.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit based on the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. The Company does not hold collateral as security. Further, the top 5 customers of the Company contribute to more than 63% of the trade receivables for the year ended March 31, 2020 and more than 66% of the trade receivables during the year ended March 31, 2019.

With respect to Trade receivables, the Company has constituted the terms to review the receivables on periodic basis and to take necessary mitigations, wherever required. The Company creates allowance for all unsecured receivables based on lifetime expected credit loss based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix.

The following table summarises the changes in the loss allowance measured using ECL:

		(`in million)
Particulars	March 31, 2020	March 31, 2019
Openingbalance	72.99	13.08
Amountprovided/ (reversed)duringtheyear	41.17	61.58
Amount utilised duringtheyear	(1.65)	(1.67)
Closing provision	112.51	72.99

Credit risk from balances with bank and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

(d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital limits from various banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit, which carry no or low market risk.

The Company monitors its risk of shortage of funds on a regular basis. The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, etc. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be medium.

57. The spread of COVID-19 pandemic and consequent national and local lockdowns and supply chain disruptions had an impact on the Company’s business operations. The Company has made a detailed assessment of its liquidity position as at the date of approval of these financial statements for the next one year and of the recoverability and carrying values of its assets including Property, Plant and Equipment (including capital work in progress), Intangible assets, Trade receivables, Inventory and Investments as at the reporting date and has concluded that there are no material adjustments required in the standalone financial results. Management believes that it has taken into account all the possible impact of known events and economic forecasts based on internal and external sources of information arising from COVID-19 pandemic while making such assessment in the preparation of the standalone financial results. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and is conducting its operations in compliance with all relevant Government directives and will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions and take actions as are appropriate based on future economic conditions.

58. As at March 31, 2020, trade payables amounting to 113.72 million, advance from customers amounting to 166.38 million and trade receivables amounting to 252.32 million towards purchase and sale of goods and services respectively, which are outstanding beyond permissible time period stipulated under the Master Circular on Import of Goods and Services and Master Circular on Export of Goods and Services issued by Reserve Bank of India (‘the RBI’), which states that payments against imports of goods are required to be made within six months from date of shipment and shipment of goods against advances received are required to be made within twelve months from the date of receipt of advances and receipts against exports of goods and services are required to be made within nine months from date of shipment. Subsequent to the year end date, the Company has received 219.66 million towards sale of goods and services. Considering that the balances are outstanding for more than the stipulated time, the Company is in the process of intimating the appropriate regulatory authorities and seeking requisite approvals for extensions. The management is confident that required approvals would be received and penalties, if any that may be imposed on the Company would not be material. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made by the management to these standalone financial statements in this regard.

59. Previous year numbers have been reclassified/regrouped wherever necessary to confirm to current year classifications. The management believes that such reclassifications of items are not material as they would, individually or collectively, not influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements.

60. Certain amounts (currency value or percentages) shown in the various tables and paragraphs included in these standalone financial statements have been rounded off or truncated as deemed appropriate by the management of the Company.

In view of the highly uncertain economic environment, a definitive assessment of the aforesaid impact on the subsequent periods is dependent upon circumstances as they evolve.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters	How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Allowance for inventory obsolescence
The Group held an inventory balance of`2357.92 million as at March 31, 2020, as disclosed in Note 11 and is a material balance for the Group. Inventory obsolescence allowance is determined using policies/ methodologies that the Group deems appropriate to the business. Signifcant judgement is exercised by the management in identifying the slow-moving and obsolete inventories and in assessing whether provision for obsolescence for slow moving, excess or obsolete inventory items should be recognized considering the production plan, forecast inventory usage, committed and expected orders, alternative usage, etc. Considering that the aforesaid assessment process is complex and involves signifcant estimates and judgements and the balance of inventory is material, we have identifed this as a key audit matter	Our procedures in relation to evaluate the allowance of inventories included: • We obtained an understanding of how the management identifes the slow- moving and obsolete inventories and assesses the amount of allowance for inventories; • We assessed and tested the design and operating efectiveness of the Company’s internal fnancial controls over the allowance for inventory obsolescence. • We observed the inventory count performed by management and assessed the physical condition of the inventories; • We also assessed allowance policy based on historical sales performance of the products in their life cycle; • We further tested the ageing of the inventories and the computation of the obsolescence level on a sample basis; • We have tested a sample of inventory items at signifcant components to assess the cost basis and net realisable value of inventory, on a sample basis. • We also assessed the Group’s disclosures concerning this in Note 42 on signifcant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 11 on Inventories to the consolidated Ind AS fnancial statements.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible assets
The Group’s balance sheet includes`376.23 million<br>of goodwill and`388.30 million of intangible assets, and Rs.100.64 million of intangible assets under development representing 8.03% of total Group assets. In accordance with Ind AS, these balances are allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs) which are tested annually for impairment using discounted cash-fow models of each CGU’s recoverable value compared to the carrying value of the assets. A defcit between the recoverable value and the CGU’s net assets would result in impairment. The determination of recoverable amounts, being the higher of fair value less cost to sale and value in use involves reliance on management’s estimates of future cash fows and their judgment with respect to the CGU’s performance. Signifcant judgements are required to determine the key assumptions used in the discounted cash fow models, such as revenue growth, price, terminal value and discount rates. Due to the uncertainty of forecasting and discounting future cash fows, being inherently subjective, the level of management’s judgement involved and the materiality of the goodwill and intangible assets to the Group’s fnancial statements as a whole as at March 31, 2020, we have considered this as a key audit matter. The basis of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets is presented in the accounting policies in Note 2.3(a) and 2.3(j) to the consolidated Ind AS fnancial statements.	Our procedures in relation to evaluate the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets included: • We assessed whether the Company’s accounting policy with respect to impairment is in accordance with Ind AS 36 “Impairment of assets. • We assessed the Group's methodology applied in determining the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated. • We have carried out assessment of forecasts of future cash fows prepared by the management, evaluating the assumptions and comparing the estimates to externally available industry, economic and fnancial data. • We have also assessed the valuation methodology and the key assumptions adopted in the cash fow forecasts with the support of our in-house valuation experts; • We also assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used. • We discussed potential changes in key drivers as compared to previous year / actual performance with management to evaluate whether the inputs and assumptions used in the cash fow forecasts were suitable • We discussed with senior management personnel, the justifcation for the key assumptions underlying the cashfow projections and performed sensitivity analysis on the same to assess their reasonableness. • We tested the arithmetical accuracy of the fnancial projection model. • We assessed the Group's disclosures concerning this in Note 42 on signifcant accounting estimates and judgements and Note 4a, 4b and 4c pertaining to the disclosures of goodwill, intangible assets and intangible assets under development respectively to the consolidated Ind AS fnancial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available to us and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated Ind AS financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. The other information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associates in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and of its associate and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are responsible for assessing the ability

of the Group and of its associates to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Holding Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associates to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated Ind AS

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

133

financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and its associates of which we are the independent auditors, to express an opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matter

Our opinion above on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors and the financial statements and other financial information certified by the Management.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’)

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of Centum Electronics Limited as of and for the year ended March 31, 2020, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Centum Electronics Limited (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Holding Company’) and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial

Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note” ) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, specified, under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal

financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the Holding Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on these consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting With Reference to these Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

136

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Qualified Opinion

According to the information and explanations given to us and based on our audit, the following material weakness has been identified in the operating effectiveness of the Holding Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements as at March 31, 2020:

(a) The financial statement close process in one of the material overseas subsidiary was not operating effectively which could potentially result in misstatement in the Group’s consolidated financial statement balances and presentation and disclosure of financial statements.

A ‘material weakness’ is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal financial control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the holding company's annual consolidated Ind AS financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, have maintained in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Holding Company considering the essential components of internal control

stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI, and except for the effects of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Holding Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these consolidated Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020.

Other Matters

We also have audited, in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the ICAI as specified under section 143(10) of the Act, the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Holding Company, which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss including the Statement of Other Comprehensive income, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. The material weakness referred to in the Qualified opinion paragraph above, was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the March 31, 2020 consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Group and this report does not affect our report dated July 28, 2020, which expressed a unqualified opinion on those consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

1. Corporate information

Centum Electronics Limited (“Centum” or “the Company” or “the Holding Company) is a public limited company domiciled in India. The registered office of the Company is located at Bangalore, India. Its equity shares are listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange in India.

The Company along with its subsidiaries ("the Group"), associates and its joint ventures (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Group"), are primarily involved in the design and manufacture of advanced microelectronics modules, frequency control products, printed circuit board assembly and resistor networks catering to the Communications, Military, Aerospace, Transportation and Industrial electronics markets. Centum is headquartered in Bangalore, India.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on July 28, 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements are listed below. Such accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated.

2.1. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended from time to time) and presentation requirements of Division II of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, (Ind AS compliant Schedule III), as applicable to the Consolidated Financial Statement (CFS).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities (refer accounting policy regarding financial instruments) which have been measured at fair value.

The functional and presentation currency of the Group is Indian Rupee (“”) which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates and all values are rounded to the nearest million ( 000,000), except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2019. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The size of the group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

are made to that group member’s financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the group’s accounting policies.

The financial statements of all entities used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up to same reporting date as that of the parent company, i.e., year ended on 31 March. When the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that of a subsidiary, the subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as the financial statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the subsidiary, unless it is impracticable to do so.

Consolidation procedure:

a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary.
c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.
d) Non-controlling interest represents that part of the total comprehensive income and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting

policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary
Derecognises the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interests
Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity
Recognises the fair value of the consideration received
Recognises the fair value of any investment retained
• Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss
Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures:

New standards and amendments:

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Group has applied Ind AS 116 “Leases” for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption is described below in 2.2(a).

Several other amendments apply for the first time for the year ending March 31, 2020, but do not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective/notified.

(a) Ind AS 116 Leases:

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

145

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

most leases on the balance sheet.

The Group adopted Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of April 1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. The Company elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease at April 1, 2019. Instead, the Group applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying Ind AS 17 and Appendix C to Ind AS 17 at the date of initial application.

The effect of adoption Ind AS 116 as at April 1, 2019 (increase/(decrease)) is, as follows:

(increase/(decrease)) is, as follows:
Assets	`in million
Right-of-use assets	274.34
Property, Plant and equipment	(5.98)
Deferred tax asset	5.44
Total assets	273.80
Liabilities
Long term borrowings	(4.89)
Current maturities of long term borrowings	(3.31)
Lease liabilities	291.27
Interest accrued on lease liabilities	7.05
Total Liabilities	290.12
Total adjustment on equity
Retained earnings	(8.84)
Non-controlling interest	(7.48)

Before the adoption of Ind AS 116, the Group classified each of its leases at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of Ind AS 116, the Group applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Refer to Note 2.3 (l) Leases for the accounting policy beginning April 1, 2019.

The standard provides specific transition requirements and practical expedients, which have been applied by the Group.

Leases previously classified as finance leases

The Group did not change the initial carrying amounts of recognised assets and liabilities at the date of initial application for leases previously classified as finance leases (i.e., the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities equal the lease assets and liabilities recognised under Ind AS 17). The requirements of Ind AS 116 were applied to these leases from April 1, 2019.

Leases previously classified as operating leases

The Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases previously classified as operating leases, except for short-term leases and leases of lowvalue assets. The right-of-use assets for most leases were recognised based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, apart from the use of incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. In some leases, the right-of-use assets were recognised based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised. Lease liabilities were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.

The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:

Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application
Applied the short-term leases exemptions to leases with lease term that ends within 12 months of the date of initial application
Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application
Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Based on the above, as at April 1, 2019:

Right-of-use assets of 274.34 million were recognised and presented separately in the balance sheet. This includes the lease assets recognised previously under finance leases of 5.98 million that were reclassified from Property, plant and equipment.
Additional lease liabilities of 298.32 million (including 8.20 million reclassed from finance lease liabilities and ` 7.05 million on account of interest accrued on lease liabilities) were recognised.
The net effect of these adjustments had been adjusted to retained earnings 8.84 million and noncontrolling interests 7.48 million.

Tax Treatment

(c) Amendments to Ind AS 109 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

Under Ind AS 109, a debt instrument can be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contractual cash flows are ‘solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding’ (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification. The amendments to Ind AS 109 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of an event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

(d) Amendments to Ind AS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately
The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates
How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances

The Group determines whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments and uses the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty.

The Group applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments.

The Group determined, based on its tax compliance, that it is probable that its tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation authorities. The Appendix did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as it did not have any plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements during the period.

(e) Ind AS 28: Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures

The amendments clarify that an entity applies Ind AS 109 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that the expected credit loss model in Ind AS 109 applies to such long-term interests.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

The amendments also clarified that, in applying Ind AS 109, an entity does not take account of any losses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognised as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise from applying Ind AS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Group.

(f) Amendments to Ind AS 109: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

Annual Improvements to Ind AS 2018

i. Ind AS 23 Borrowing Cost s

Since the Group’s current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

ii. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable

profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity recognises the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where it originally recognised those past transactions or events.

An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019.

Since the Group’s current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

a. Business combination and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition date fair values. For this purpose, the liabilities assumed include contingent liabilities representing present obligation and they are measured at their acquisition fair values irrespective of the fact that outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is not probable. However, the following assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured at the basis indicated below:

Deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with Ind AS 12 Income Tax and Ind AS 19 Employee Benefits respectively.
Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105 Non-current Assets held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.
Reacquired rights are measured at a value determined on the basis of the remaining contractual term of the related contract. Such valuation does not consider potential renewal of the reacquired right.

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity as capital reserve. However, if there is no clear evidence of bargain purchase, the Group recognises the gain directly in equity as capital reserve, without routing the same through OCI.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

A cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

b. Investment in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The considerations made in determining whether significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over the subsidiaries.

The Group’s investments in its associate and joint venture are accounted for using the equity method after making necessary adjustments to achieve uniformity in application of accounting policies. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment individually.

The statement of profit and loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture (which includes any long term interest that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognising its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on the face of the statement of profit and loss.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

149

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

c.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognises the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture’ in the statement of profit or loss.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

i. Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
ii. Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
iii. Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
iv. Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

i. It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
iv. There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

Advance tax paid is classified as non-current assets.

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.

d. Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date using valuation techniques.

a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

150

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

e.

follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1- Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3- Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue Recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the Group has applied Ind AS 115 which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognised. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue. The Group has adopted Ind AS 115 using modified retrospective approach. The effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. April 1, 2018).

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Sale of products and services

The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated if any. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing components, noncash consideration, and consideration payable to the customer (if any).

Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Group as part of the contract. This variable consideration is estimated based on the expected value of outflow. Revenue (net of variable consideration) is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that the amount will not be subject to significant reversal when uncertainty relating to its recognition is resolved.

Fixed price contracts

These contracts which have a performance obligation either provide for the fixed price for the entire project or a price defined in a framework agreement for each type of service ordered by the customer as the project is performed. Revenues from fixed price contracts is recognised based on the stage of completion and the expected profit on completion. Depending on the contracts, the degrees of progress is determined according to the input method (notably according to the costs borne by the project and hours spent) or the output method (notably according to the deliverables made). In the event of an unexpected excess of total contract costs over total contract revenues, the expected losses on completion are provisioned.

Time and material contracts

These contracts, which are subject to best efforts clause, have a variable price determined according to the time spent and the seniority of the staff employed for these projects. Revenues generated by time and material contracts is recognised as the services are performed.

Scrip Sales

Export entitlements in the form of Merchandise Export from India (MEIS) and are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the scheme is established in respect of

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

151

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

exports made and when there is no significant uncertainty regarding the ultimate collection of the relevant export proceeds.

Management fees income

Income from management fees is recognised as per the terms of the agreement on the basis of services rendered.

Trade receivables

Contract liabilities

Interest income

For all financial instruments measured either at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR 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 gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss.

Rental income

Rental income from lease of premises under operating lease is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

f.

Government grants

g. Taxes on income

Current income tax

Commission income

Commission income is recognised at the time when services are rendered in accordance with the rates as per the agreements entered into with the parties.

Contract balances

Contract assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer (which consist of unbilled revenue). If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional and contract liabilities are recognized as and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment. Refer to accounting policies on impairment of financial assets in section (q) Financial instruments.

Tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of profit and loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recorded from or paid to the taxation authorities. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

152

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of the taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability model. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all the taxable temporary differences. In contrast, deferred assets are only recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

In the year in which the Group recognizes MAT credit as

an asset, it is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as part of deferred tax asset. The Group reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

h. Non-current assets held for sale / disposal

The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale / disposal if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale rather than through continuing use. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of classification.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded met only when the assets or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, its sale is highly probable; and it will genuinely be sold, not abandoned. The Group treats sale of the asset to be highly probable when:

a) The appropriate level of management is committed to a plan to sell the asset,
b) An active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated,
c) The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value,
d) The sale is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification , and
e) Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

i. Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’) and depreciation of PPE

On transition to Ind AS, the Group has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

153

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

equipment recognised as at March 31, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment as on April 1, 2016.

Capital work in progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate assets are derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

The Group identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/ part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset having useful life that is materially different from that of the remaining asset. These components are depreciated over their useful lives; the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of the principal asset.

For domestic entities, the depreciation on the Property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at, based on useful lives estimated by the management, which coincides with the lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in case of Plant and equipment (including the related intellectual property), which the Group, based on technical assessment made by the technical expert and management estimate, depreciates over estimated useful life of 8 years which is different from the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

Land is carried at historical cost and is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of lease or estimated useful life, whichever is lower, on straight line basis.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation

of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Machinery spares are depreciated on a systematic basis over the period of the remaining useful life of the fixed assets for which they are utilised.

For overseas subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, the Group provides depreciation based on estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as determined by the management of such subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. In view of different sets of environment in which such foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates operate in their respective countries, depreciation is provided based on local laws and management estimates. These entities follow straight line method of depreciation spread over the useful life of each individual asset.

The estimated useful lives of the assets considered by aforementioned entities is as follows:

Asset category	Years	Years
	Minimum	Maximum
Plant & equipment	3	5
Electrical installation	5	10
Furniture & fxtures	5	10
Ofce equipment	3	8
Computer	3	5
Buildings	30	30

j. Intangible assets and amortisation of intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

expenditure forms part of carrying value of another asset.

A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is, as follows:

Intangible assets	Useful lives	Amortisation method used	Internally generated or acquired
Goodwill (including goodwill arising on consolidation)	Indefnite	No amortisation	Acquired
Customer relationship	Defnite (8 years)	Straight-line basis	Acquired

Intellectual property rights	Defnite (8 years)	Straight-line basis	Acquired

k. Borrowing costs

l. Leases

The Group has lease contracts for office spaces various items of plant and machinery and equipment, and other equipments. The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and

leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets:

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets.

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section (n) Impairment of non-financial assets.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

155

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The Group’s lease liabilities are included in Interestbearing loans and borrowings.

iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Accounting policy applicable till March 31, 2019:

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease.

Group as a lessee

A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group is classified as a finance lease.

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless either:

CENTUM ELECTRONICS LIMITED

156

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

a) another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit even if the payments to the lessors are not on that basis; or
b) the payments to the lessor are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases. If payments to the lessor vary because of factors other than general inflation, then this condition is not met.

Group as a lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases when substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer from the Group to the lessee. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as receivables at the Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

m. Inventories

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

a) Raw materials and stores and spares: cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
b) Finished goods and work in progress: cost includes cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs.

Cost of raw materials, stores and spares work-in-progress and finished goods is determined on a weighted average basis.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

n. Impairment of non-financial assets

As at the end of each accounting year, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its PPE, intangible assets, including goodwill and investments in associates and joint venture companies to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the said assets are tested for impairment so as to determine the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill and the intangible assets with indefinite life are tested for impairment each year.

Impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined:

i) in the case of an individual asset, at the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use; and
ii) in the case of a cash generating unit (a group of assets that generates identified, independent cash flows), at the higher of the cash generating unit’s net fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use.

If recoverable amount of an asset (or cash generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, such deficit is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as impairment loss and the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For this purpose, the impairment loss recognised in respect of a cash generating unit is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to such cash generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets of the cash generating unit on a pro-rata basis.

o. Provisions and contingent liabilities

General

Provisions are recognised when the Group 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 Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not

recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the consolidated financial statements.

Provisions and contingent liability are reviewed at each balance sheet.

Decommissioning liability

Decommissioning costs are provided at the present value of expected costs to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows and are recognised as part of the cost of the particular asset. The cash flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the decommissioning liability. The unwinding of the discount is expensed as incurred and recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss as a finance cost. The estimated future costs of decommissioning are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate. Changes in the estimated future costs or in the discount rate applied are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset.

p. Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund and pension fund are defined contribution scheme. The Group has no obligation, other than the contribution payable. The Group recognizes contribution payable to provident fund and pension fund as expenditure, when an employee renders the related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet reporting date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or a cash refund.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next twelve months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The Group measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such longterm compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW MANAGEMENT REPORTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

The Group presents the leave as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit method using actuarial valuation to be carried out at each balance sheet date.

Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:

a) The date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
b) The date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit and loss:

a) Service costs comprising current service costs, pastservice costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements; and
b) Net interest expense or income.

q. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction cost and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value measured on initial recognition of financial asset or financial

liability. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are immediately recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Investment in equity instruments issued by associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial asset not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income is carried at fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

For financial assets maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Impairment of financial assets excluding investment in associates

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

159

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Loss allowance for expected credit losses is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost and fair value through the statement of profit and loss.

The Group recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, which involves use of provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted under Ind AS 109 – Impairment loss on investments.

De-recognition of financial assets

The Group de-recognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for de-recognition under Ind AS 109.

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the assets and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay.

If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity Instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial Liabilities

For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

a) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.

b) De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised 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 de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying

r.

amounts is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Put Option Liability

The potential cash payments related to put options issued by the Group over the equity of subsidiary companies to non-controlling interests are accounted for as financial liabilities when such options may only be settled other than by exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of shares in the subsidiary. The financial liability for such put option is accounted for under IND AS 109.

The amount that may become payable under the option on exercise is initially recognised at fair value under other financial liabilities with a corresponding charge directly to equity. All subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the financial liability are recognised in other equity attributable to the parent. The entity recognises both the non-controlling interest and the financial liability under the NCI put. It continues to measure non-controlling interests at proportionate share of net assets.

If the put option is exercised, the entity accounts for an increase in its ownership interest. At the same time, the entity derecognises the financial liability and recognises an offsetting credit in the same component of equity reduced on initial recognition. In the event that the option expires unexercised, the liability is derecognised with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Off-setting of financial instruments

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

Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest fluctuation risks, etc. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value through consolidated statement of profit and loss. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Refer to Note 54 for more details.

s.

t.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the consolidated balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

Share-based payments

Certain employees of the Group are entitled to sharebased payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.

That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

u. Cash dividend

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that are designated as part of the hedge of the Group’s net investment of a foreign operation. These are recognised in OCI until the net investment is disposed of, at which time, the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in OCI.

v. Foreign currencies

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in INR, which is also the holding company’s functional currency. For each entity the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The Group uses the direct method of consolidation and on disposal of a foreign operation the gain or loss that is reclassified to profit or loss reflects the amount that arises from using this method.

Transactions and balances:

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. However, for practical reasons, the group uses an average rate if the average approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.

Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of the following:

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in profit or loss in the separate financial statements of the reporting entity or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. In the financial statements that include the foreign operation and the reporting entity (e.g., consolidated financial statements when the foreign operation is a subsidiary), such exchange differences are recognised initially in OCI. These exchange differences are reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

Group companies:

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into INR at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. For practical reasons, the Group uses an average rate to translate income and expense items, if the average rate approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

w. Research and development expenditure

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate all the following:

i. The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
ii. Its intention to complete the asset
iii. Its ability to use or sell the asset
iv. How the asset will generate future economic benefits
v. The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset
vi. The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development.

available for use. It is amortized on a straight line basis over the period of expected future benefit from the related project. Amortization is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

x. Corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) expenditure

The Group charges its CSR expenditure during the year to the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

y. Earnings per share

the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they are entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity holder of the parent by

39 Income tax

The domestic subsidiaries of the Group are subject to income tax in India on the basis of standalone financial statements. As per the Income Tax Act, these entities are liable to pay income tax which is the higher of regular income tax payable or the amount payable based on the provisions applicable for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). MAT paid in excess of regular income tax during a year can be carried forward for a period of 15 years and can be offset against future tax liabilities. Business loss can be carried forward for a maximum period of eight assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year to which the loss pertains. Unabsorbed depreciation can be carried forward for an indefinite period.

Pursuant to the Taxation Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 ('Ordinance') issued by Ministry of Law and Justice (Legislative Department) on September 20, 2019 which is effective from April 1, 2019, domestic companies have the option to pay income tax at 22% plus applicable surcharge and cess ('new tax regime') subject to certain conditions. The Holding Company based on the current projections has chosen to adopt the reduced rates of tax as per the Income Tax Act, 1961 from the financial year 2020-21 and accordingly the Holding Company has accounted deferred tax asset based on the reduced applicable tax rates. for domestic entities.

Income tax expenses in the consolidated statement of profit and loss consist of the following:

Note: Certain entities of the Group have incurred losses during the relevant period, which has resulted in reduction of profit / increase of losses in the consolidated financial statements. However, the tax liability has been discharged by the respective entities on a standalone basis. Further, in view of absence of reasonable certainty, the Group has not recognised deferred tax asset in such companies.

40. Earnings per share (‘EPS’)

Basic EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the profit/ loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Partly paid equity shares are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.

Considering that the Company has incurred losses from discontinued operations during the year ended March 31, 2020 as well as during the year ended March 31, 2019, the allotment of stock options would decrease the loss per share for the year ended March 31, 2020 and accordingly had not been considered for the purpose of calculation of diluted earnings per share for discontinued operations.

41 Discontinued Operations

a) During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company had signed Share Purchase Agreement with Rakon Limited for the sale of entire 51% stake held by the Group in Centum Rakon India Private Limited, a joint venture.

42 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods affected.

Significant judgements and estimates relating to the carrying values of assets and liabilities include determining control over entities, impairment of investments in joint ventures and associates, impairment of goodwill, fair value measurement of financial assets / liabilities, treatment of certain investments as joint ventures / associates, provision for employee benefits and other provisions, recoverability of deferred tax assets, commitments, contingencies, provision for inventory obsolesce and efforts estimation for revenue recognition.

(i) Judgements:

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

(a) Determination of control and accounting thereof:

As detailed in the accounting policy, consolidation principles under Ind AS necessitates assessment of control of the subsidiaries independent of the majority shareholding. Consolidation principles under Ind AS are different from the previous GAAP, especially with respect to assessment of control of the subsidiaries. Based on the assessment made, the management of the Group believes that it has control over Centum Adetel Group S.A and its underlying subsidiaries. Further, the management of the Group assessed that it exercises significant influence over Centum Adetel Transportation and Ausar Energy SAS, based on their assessment of the share purchase agreement.

(b) Discontinued operations:

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Board of Directors of Centum Adetel Group S.A decided to discontinue Centum Adetel Transportation SAS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Centum Adetel Group S.A. The operations of Centum Adetel Transportation SAS ("CAT"), were classified as an asset held for disposal. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement with strategic investor for sale of 65% stake in CAT. However the sale consideration is substantially pending receipt and management of the Group is confident of the recoverabilty of the same. The Board of the Holding Company is of the view that the derecognition criteria of assets held for sale is satisfied, as at March 31, 2020 for the following reasons:

(i) CAT is available for immediate sale and can be sold in its current condition
(ii) The shareholders approved the binding share purchase agreement dated January 6, 2020.
(iii) The conditions precedent to complete the sale were completed by March 31, 2020.
(iv) The closing meeting minutes evidencing the actions required were signed on April 22, 2020.
(v) The Company expects the remaining procedural formalities for the sale to be completed in near future.

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

(ii) Estimates and assumptions:

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Impairment of investments and goodwill

Determining whether investments and goodwill are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the respective asset or the relevant cash generating units. The value in use calculation is based on DCF model. The cash flows projections are based on estimates and assumptions which are considered as reasonable by the management and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate (i.e. 7.66% p.a) used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives recognised by the Group (refer note 4a, 4b and 5).

Taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognised for MAT credit entitlement and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the same can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Refer note 8 and 39 for further disclosures. Centum Adetel Group S.A has carried forward of tax losses. These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a history of losses and may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. The subsidiaries neither have any taxable temporary difference nor any tax planning opportunities available that could partly support the recognition of these losses as deferred tax assets. On this basis, the Group has determined that it cannot recognise deferred tax assets on the tax losses carried forward.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow (‘DCF’) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer note 50(a) for further disclosures.

Contingencies

Contingent liabilities may arise from the ordinary course of business in relation to claims against the Group, including legal and contractual claims. By their nature, contingencies will be resolved only when one or more uncertain future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of the existence, and potential quantum, of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and the use of estimates regarding the outcome of future events.

Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits)

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

191

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

The parameter most subject to change is the discount rate. In determining the appropriate discount rate for plans operated in India, the management considers the interest rates of government bonds.

Further details about gratuity obligations are given in note 44.

Provision for inventory obsolesence

Inventory obsolescence provision are determined using policies framed by the Company and in accordance with the methodologies that the Company deems appropriate to the business. There is a significant level of judgment involved in assessing whether provision for obsolesence for slow moving, excess or obsolete inventory items should be recognized considering orders in hand, expected orders, alternative usage, etc.

Revenue recognition

The group uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its fixed-price contract. Use of the percentageof-completion method requires the Group to estimate the efforts expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts to be expended. Efforts expended have been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity.

Provision for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become

probable based on the expected contract estimates at the reporting date.

Leases - Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as lessee and

estimating the incremental borrowing rate

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease.

The Group has lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset).

The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

Intangible assets under development

The Group capitalises intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future

ii) Plan Characteristics and Associated Risks:

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

197

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

a. Discount rate risk : The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase
b. Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation
c. Demographic risk : This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

vii. A quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumption as at March 31, 2020 is as shown below:

The Supreme court of India in the month of February 2019 had passed a judgement relating to definition of wages under the Provident Fund Act, 1952. The Management is of the view that there are interpretative challenges on the application of the judgement retrospectively. Based on the legal advice and in the absence of reliable measurement of the provision for earlier periods, the Group has made a provision for provident fund contribution pursuant to the judgement only from the date of Supreme Court Order. The Group will evaluate its position and update its provision, if required, on receiving further clarity on the subject. The Group does not expect any material impact of the same.

47 Segment information - Disclosure pursuant to Ind AS 108 "Operating Segments"

(a) Information about reportable segments

Basis of identifying operating segments / reportable segments:

(i) Basis of identifying operating segments:

Operating segments are identified as those components of the Group (a) that engage in business activities to earn revenues and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the Group's other components); (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.The accounting policies consistently used in the preparation of financial statements are also applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual segments. Assets, liabilities, revenues and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while other items, wherever allocable, are apportioned to the segment on an appropriate basis. Certain items are not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The Company therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such items and accordingly such items are separately disclosed as ‘unallocated’.

(ii) Reportable segments:

The Company along with its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are an integrated business unit which addresses the Electronics System Design and Manufacturing ("ESDM") and accordingly there is only one reportable segment called ESDM in accordance with the requirement of Ind AS 108 - "Operating segments".

49. Capital Management

The Group's capital management is intended to create value for the shareholders by facilitating the meeting of long term and short term goals of the Group.

The Group determines the amount of capital required on the basis of annual business plan coupled with long term and short term strategic investment and expansion plans. The funding needs are met through equity, cash generated from operations and long term and short term bank borrowings.

For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital plus total debt. The Group's policy is to keep the gearing ratio at an optimum level to ensure that the debt related covenants are complied with.

Gearing ratio(D=(A/C))	60%	61%

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2019.

(i) Short-term financial assets and liabilities are stated at carrying value which is approximately equal to their fair value.
(ii) Foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are fair valued using market observable rates and published prices together with forecasted cash flow information where applicable.
(iii) Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Group could have realised or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, fair value of financial instruments subsequent to the reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each reporting date.
(iv) There have been no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

(c) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations. The Group's principal financial assets including trade receivables, other financial assets and cash and bank balances are dervied from its operations.

In the course of its business, the Group is exposed primarily to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, liquidity and credit risk, which may adversely impact the fair value of its financial instruments. The Group has a risk management policy which not only covers the foreign exchange risks but also other risks associated with the financial assets and liabilities such as interest rate risks and credit risks. The risk management policy is approved by the Board of Directors. The risk management framework aims to:

(i) create a stable business planning environment by reducing the impact of currency and interest rate fluctuations on the Group’s business plan.
(ii) achieve greater predictability to earnings by determining the financial value of the expected earnings in advance.

Market risk

(a) Market risk- Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with floating interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:

		(`in million)
Particulars	Increase / decrease in basis points	Efect on proft before tax
March 31,2020
	+50	(7.93)
	-50	7.93
March 31,2019
	+50	(9.61)
	-50	9.61

The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

(b) Market risk- Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Foreign currency exposure

The following table demonstrate the unhedged exposure in USD / EURO exchange rate as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies are not material.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

|March 31, 2019||||
|USD|5%|(30.10)|30.10|
|EURO|5%|(8.16)|8.16|

The sensitivity analysis has been based on the composition of the financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 of entities within the Group having exposure other than their functional currency. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

Credit risk

The carrying value of financial assets represents the maximum credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk was 4,933.66 million and 4,563.05 million as at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, being the total carrying value of trade receivables, balances with bank, bank deposits, investments (other than investments in associates and joint ventures) and other financial assets (excluding assets held for disposal).

Customer credit risk is managed by each entity / business unit based on the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major customers. The Group does not hold collateral as security.

With respect to Trade receivables, the Group has constituted the terms to review the receivables on periodic basis and to take necessary mitigations, wherever required. The Group creates allowance for all unsecured receivables based on lifetime expected credit loss based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix.

Credit risk from balances with bank and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s treasury department in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty’s potential failure to make payments.

The Group have made certain strategic investments which have been approved by the Board of Directors.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019-20

209

Notes to the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2020

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group cannot meet its financial obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as per requirements. The Group has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital limits from various banks. The Group invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit, which carry no or low market risk.

The Group monitors its risk of a shortage of funds on a regular basis. The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, etc. The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be medium.

The following table shows a maturity analysis of the anticipated cash flows excluding interest obligations for the Group’s financial liabilities on an undiscounted basis, which therefore differ from both carrying value and fair value. Floating rate interest is estimated using the prevailing interest rate at the end of the reporting period.

*A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional and contract liabilities are recognized as and when the performance obligation is satisfied.

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

The management believes that such reclassifications of items are not material as they would, individually or collectively, not influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements.

54. Hedging activities and derivatives

The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps to manage some of its transaction exposures. These derivative instruments are not designated as cash flow / fair value hedges and are entered into for periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of underlying transactions. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. All transactions in derivative financial instruments are undertaken to manage risks arising from underlying business activities.

55. The spread of COVID-19 pandemic and consequent national and local lockdowns and supply chain disruptions had an impact on the Group’s business operations. The Group has made a detailed assessment of its liquidity position as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements for the next one year and of the recoverability and carrying values of its assets including Property, Plant and Equipment (including capital work in progress), Goodwill, Intangible assets, Intangible assets under development, Trade receivables including unbilled revenue, Subsidy receivables, Inventory,Investments and other assets as at the reporting date and has concluded that there are no material adjustments required in the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that it has taken into account all the possible impact of known events and economic forecasts based on internal and external sources of information arising from COVID-19 pandemic while making such assessment in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Group is monitoring the situation closely and is conducting its operations in compliance with all relevant Government directives and will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions and take actions as are appropriate based on future economic conditions.
