Management Discussion and Analysis

1. Industry Structure and Development

The pneumatic cylinder is a mechanical device that uses air pressure to generate force in a linear motion. Various industrial applications require linear motion during its operating sequence. Pneumatic Cylinder market is segmented by Function (Single-acting and Double-acting), By Cylinder (Cylinders with piston rods, Rod less cylinders, Diaphragm cylinders, and Rotary cylinders), By Movement (Linear Movement and Rotary Movement), By Application (Industrial, Robotics, Automobile, Aviation, Healthcare and Others) and by geography.

The global pneumatic market is fragmented and characterized by the presence of large international and regional vendors. Vendors compete in terms of price, brand image, turnaround time, quality, proximity to service centers, technical expertise and previous installation history.

The industry is made up of several large players who provide a large variety of standard type commodities and many smaller niche players who offer more custom products and solutions.

Pneumatics is used extensively as a low cost automation technology to automate industrial processes in modern day factories. Factory automation is the largest sector for pneumatic technology, which is widely used for products in manufacturing, processing and packaging operations. Pneumatics is also widely used in food/beverage and pharmaceutical processing equipment and in chemical plants, re�neries to actuate large valves.

2. Opportunities and Threats

Many opportunities are expected in the pneumatic actuators market as large number of associated industries is coming up. Most of these opportunities are expected to arise from modernization and upgradation of machinery. Improvements in design and technology, the expansion of industrialization and a growing awareness of energy expenditure savings are helping to drive growth in the worldwide pneumatic equipment market.

One of the major drivers for growth is increased momentum of automation projects in all major industries. The need for high accuracy and cost optimization is driving the demand for process automation, which is leading to an increase in the demand for control valves. Control valves require pneumatic actuators in power, chemical, and oil and gas end-user industries for operational control. The demand for control valves is increasing in the oil and gas upstream and downstream sectors, owing to increasing investments in �uid control systems. Increase in power demand in India is propelling the sale of control valves in the power generation industry. With the increase in demand for control valves across these process industries, the global pneumatic actuator market will also witness a growth during the forecast period.

Growth expectation is high as far as pneumatics & �uid power industry is concerned. Fluid power industry in India is a component industry, i.e. when application grows, the component industry also grows. With the government promising to bring in clarity and transparency in sectors such as mining, housing and infrastructure, the �uid power industry is preparing for a spur in demand.

The Indian Government has been pursuing its 'Digital India' initiative with a massive push towards digital payments. This includes the establishment of 100 smart cities throughout India. Smart cities will attract investment in all sectors. Moreover, Government of India's effort to improve of trade ties with major trading nations and improvement in relations with super powers will boost India's image as an investor friendly nation throughout the world.

The industry has been dependent on imported technology all these years; however, with MNCs setting up base in the country and forming joint ventures with local partners, many applications for domestic requirements are now being developed locally.

A number of challenges could threaten growth in the market. Chief among them is the appearance of electromechanical equipment as a replacement for pneumatic equipment � bene�ts include better control, greater power, cleaner technology and extended life cycles. Other threats include the failure of air cylinders, the need for better integration of pneumatic equipment with electronics-based products and the need for manufacturers to upgrade supply chains with database management systems.

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

3. Outlook

The future of the Company inter alia depends on expansion of product basket especially by developing new products. Efforts are on to strengthen the existing engineering team and to form a core team for New Product Development. The Management is encouraging re�nement in existing products for better operational performance.

The advancement and reliability of valve relate directly to normal operation of industrial equipment and infrastructures. Technological change and industry innovation have great in�uence on valve industry.

The Company's growth prospects look bright with continuing investments in this sector and large infrastructure spending. The Company also expects to improve its operating pro�ts by improving sales, operating ef�ciencies and aggressive cost cutting.

4. Risks and Concerns

Fluid Power & Automation segment, where the company operates in Industrial and Infrastructure Sectors are technology intensive, continuous focus on product and technology developments imperative to sustain in a highly competitive environment.

To keep up with a rapidly changing energy landscape, valve and actuator manufacturers have seen their technology become more complex, incorporating new materials and processes within the context of an ever-growing demand to reduce costs.

The highest challenge for the pneumatic actuators market is to accommodate consumers demand and production and also competitive pricing standard between manufacturers. However, increasing manufacturing cost as well as operational cost of pneumatic actuators can hamper the growth of the market.

Pneumatic cylinders have evolved into an almost endless array of con�gurations, sizes and special designs. This versatility makes more innovative con�gurations possible, but sometimes it increases sources of failure.

The market for pneumatic valves and actuators is undergoing a competitive shakeup as low-cost Chinese suppliers continue to expand into India and other South Asian markets. The Chinese suppliers are focusing on standard legacy pneumatic valves and actuators and compete very aggressively on price.

Apart from the risk associated with the volatility in Industry speci�c sectors, your company is also exposed to other general risks related to volatility in foreign exchange rates, change in taxation structures, increase in interest rates, natural/man-made disasters and political risks.

5. Internal Control Systems and their adequacy

The Company has proper and adequate systems of internal controls in all areas of its operations. Regular internal audits and checks are carried out to ensure that responsibilities are executed effectively and that adequate systems are in place.

The various issues company is facing are identi�ed and assessed routinely at all levels and within all functions in the organization. Control activities and other mechanisms are proactively designed to address and mitigate the signi�cant risks. The entire system of internal control is monitored continuously and problems are addressed timely.

A thorough test of different processes of Internal Financial Controls were carried out by the Statutory Auditors to ensure orderly ef�cient conduct of business including adherence of company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detention of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable �nancial information.

An Audit Committee comprising of Non Executive Independent Directors reviews various areas of the control systems and their adequacy. They meet regularly to review �nancial and other control mechanisms of the Company.The Company has a vigil mechanism named Whistle Blower Policy to deal with instance of fraud and mismanagement, if any. Vigil (Whistle Blower) mechanism provides a channel to the employees and Directors to report to the Management, concerns about unethical behaviour, actual or suspected fraud or violation of the Codes of Conduct or Policy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DUNCAN ENGINEERING LIMITED

Report on the Standalone Indian Accounting Standard ( Ind AS) Financial Statements

Opinion

  1. We have audited the accompanying Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements of DUNCAN ENGINEERING LIMITED (�the Company�), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019, the Statement of Pro�t and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the �nancial statements, including a summary of signi�cant 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 �nancial statements give the information required by the Companies Act 2013 (�the Act�) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (�Ind AS�) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2019, its pro�t (including other comprehensive income), its cash �ows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) speci�ed 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 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 �nancial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have ful�lled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf�cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the �nancial statements.

Key Audit Matters

  1. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most signi�cance in our audit of the �nancial statements for the �nancial year ended March 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

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

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises of the Board's Report including its Annexures, and other report placed by the management before the members. Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS �nancial 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 �nancial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Ind AS Financial Statements

  1. 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 �nancial statements that give a true and fair view of the �nancial position, �nancial performance (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash �ows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) speci�ed 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

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

43

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 design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal �nancial 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 �nancial 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 �nancial 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. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's �nancial reporting process.

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

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS �nancial 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 in�uence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements.

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

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suf�cient 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.

  4. 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 �nancial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  6. 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 signi�cant 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 �nancial 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.

  7. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS �nancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  8. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signi�cant audit �ndings, including any signi�cant de�ciencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

ANNEXURE - B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 10(f) of the Independent Auditor's Report of even date to the members of DUNCAN ENGINEERING LIMITED on the Standalone Ind AS �nancial Statements as of

and for the year ended March 31, 2019)

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

(�the Act�)

  1. We have audited the internal �nancial controls over �nancial reporting of DUNCAN ENGINEERING LIMITED (�the Company�) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the �nancial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

  1. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal �nancial controls based on the internal control over �nancial 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal �nancial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and ef�cient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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 �nancial information, as required under the Act.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY

  1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal �nancial controls over �nancial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the �Guidance Note�) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal �nancial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 �nancial controls over �nancial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

  2. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal �nancial controls system over �nancial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal �nancial controls over �nancial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal �nancial controls over �nancial reporting, 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the �nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

  3. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suf�cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal �nancial controls system over �nancial reporting.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

  1. A Company's internal �nancial control over �nancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of �nancial reporting and the preparation of �nancial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal �nancial control over �nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

  2. a. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly re�ect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

  3. b. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of �nancial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

48

  • c. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the �nancial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

  1. Because of the inherent limitations of internal �nancial controls over �nancial reporting, 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 �nancial controls over �nancial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal �nancial control over �nancial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

The Company has its manufacturing unit & registered of�ce at F-33, MIDC, Ranjangaon, Karegaon, Taluka Shirur, Dist. Pune: 412209 (near Pune City). The Company is a Public Limited Company and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The �nancial statements (hereinafter referred to as "Financial Statements") of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019 were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on May 6, 2019

II BASIS OF PREPARATION

a) Statement of compliance

The Financial Statements of the Company,are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis.The Ind AS are prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the relevant provisions thereof.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. The Company has prepared these Financial Statements as per the format prescribed in Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.

b) Basis of measurement

The �nancial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for following:

  • i. Financial assets and liabilities that is measured at Fair value/ Amortised cost;

  • ii. Non-current assets held for sale � measured at the lower of the carrying amounts and fair value less cost to sell;

  • iii. De�ned bene�t plans � plan assets measured at fair value.

c) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the �nancial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (�the functional currency�). The �nancial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (�INR�), which is the Company�s functional currency.

d) Current or Non current classi�cation

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classi�cation. An asset is classi�ed as current when it is:

  • i. Expected to be realized or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;

  • ii. Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • iii. Expected to be realized 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.

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

55

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

  • 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.

  • The Company classi�es all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are classi�ed as non-current assets and liabilities respectively.

e) Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of �nancial statements requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the management�s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

Application of accounting policies that require critical accounting estimates and assumption judgements having the most signi�cant effect on the amounts recognised in the �nancial statements are:

Measurement of de�ned bene�t obligations;

Recognition of deferred tax assets & MAT credit entitlement;

Useful life and residual value of Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets;

Provision and employee liability for litigation

III NEW STANDARDS/ AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

The new Accounting Standards / amendments to existing Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective upto the date of issuance of the Company�s Financial Statements, to the extent applicable to the company, are disclosed below:

1) Ind AS 116- Leases:

On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has noti�ed Ind AS 116 �Leases� . Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases Standard, Ind AS 17 �Leases�. The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for the lessor as well as the lessee. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of Pro�t & Loss. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 116 is �nancial year beginning on or after April 1, 2019.

"The standard permits two alternative methods of transition:

  • a) Full retrospective method � Retrospectively to each prior period presented applying Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors."

  • "b) Modi�ed retrospective method � Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. Under modi�ed retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset either as:- Its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted at lessee�s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial adoption or - An amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease recognized under Ind AS 17 immediately before the date of initial adoption. "

Certain practical expedients are available under both the methods.

"The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the above amendment to Ind AS 19 on the �nancial statements."

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

2) Amendment to Ind AS 12 � Income taxes :

On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to the guidance in Ind AS 12, �Income Taxes�, with regard to accounting for dividend distribution taxes. The amendment stipulates that an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in pro�t or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. Effective date for application of this amendment is �nancial year beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The Company does not envisage any impact on account of this amendment.

3) Amendment to Ind AS 19 � � Employee Bene�ts�

"On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 19, �Employee Bene�ts�, in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity: - to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and - to recognise in pro�t or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling. Effective date for application of this amendment is �nancial year beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the above amendment to Ind AS 19 on the �nancial statements."

IV SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in the �nancial statements.

a) Property, plant and equipment

i) Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and nonrefundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.

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

Borrowing costs relating to acquisition of qualifying �xed assets, if material, are also included in cost to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use.

If signi�cant parts of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic bene�ts embodied within the part will �ow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of all other repairs and maintenance are recognised in the Statement of Pro�t & Loss as incurred.

Capital work-in-progress includes cost of property, plant and equipment under installation / under development as at the balance sheet date. Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classi�ed as capital advances under other noncurrent assets.

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

57

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

Property, plant and equipment is derecognised when no future economic bene�t are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset or upon disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the Statement of Pro�t and Loss.

ii) Depreciation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on the Straight Line Method based on the useful life of assets as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The identi�ed components are depreciated over their useful life, the remaining asset is depreciated over the life of principle assets Except

Vehicles : 5 Years

Lease hold land held on long term are likely to be continued are considered as �nance lease, and Leasehold land which do not involve substantial subsequent cash �ows are amortised over the period. Buildings constructed on Leasehold land are depreciated based on the useful life prescribed in the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Property Plant and Equipment purchased for value not exceeding Rs. 5000/- is fully depreciated in the year of purchase.

Depreciation on additions to or on disposal of assets is calculated on pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which the property, plant and equipment is available for use (disposed off).

b) Intangible assets

i) Recognition and measurement

Intangible Assets Acquired Separately

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are measured at cost, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic bene�ts embodied in the speci�c asset to which they relate.

All other intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. All impairment losses are recognised immediately in the Statement of Pro�t and Loss.

An intangible asset is derecognised when no future economic bene�t are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset or upon disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of intangible assets is recognised in pro�t or loss.

ii) Amortisation

Amortization is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets or on any other basis that re�ects the pattern in which the asset�s future economic bene�ts are expected to be consumed by the entity. Intangible assets that are not available for use are amortized from the date they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

c) Impairment of non-�nancial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-�nancial assets to determine whether there is any indication on impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset�s recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash �ows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that re�ects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speci�c to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Pro�t and Loss.

In respect of assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the company reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the assets over its remaining useful life.

d) Financial Instruments

i) Initial recognition

The Company recognises �nancial assets and �nancial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. All �nancial assets and liabilities are recognised at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of �nancial assets and �nancial liabilities, that are not at fair value through pro�t or loss, are added to the fair value on initial recognition. Regular way purchase and sale of �nancial assets are accounted for at trade date.

ii) Subsequent measurement

  • (a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A �nancial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost by applying the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) Method to gross carrying amount of the �nancial asset, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash �ows and the contractual terms of the �nancial asset give rise on speci�ed dates to cash �ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. When the �nancial asset is derecognised or impaired, the gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of pro�t and loss.

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment�s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI � equity investment). This election is made on an investment by investment basis. Fair value gains and losses recognised in OCI are not reclassi�ed to pro�t and loss.

  • (c) Financial assets at fair value through pro�t or loss

Financial assets which is not classi�ed in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through pro�t or loss.

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

(d) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 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.

(e) Reclassi�cation of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The Company determines classi�cation of �nancial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassi�cation is made for �nancial assets which are equity instruments and �nancial liabilities. For �nancial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassi�cation is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. If the company reclassi�es �nancial assets, it applies the reclassi�cation prospectively from the reclassi�cation date which is the �rst day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

iii) Impairment of �nancial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. Except Trade receivables, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month Expected Credit Loss (ECL), unless there has been a signi�cant increase in credit risk from initial recognition, in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.

With regard to trade receivable, the Company applies the simpli�ed approach , which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from the initial recognition of the trade receivables.

iv) Derecognition

Financial Assets

Company derecognises a �nancial asset when the contractual rights to the cash �ows from the �nancial asset expire or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash �ows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the �nancial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the �nancial asset.

If the company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

Financial Liabilities

The company derecognises a �nancial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

v) Derivative �nancial instruments

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk which arises from its foreign exchange revenues, primarily in Euro and US Dollars.

(vi) Offsetting

Financial assets and �nancial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the company has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

e) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

60

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

estimated using other valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair values for measurement and/ or disclosure purposes are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the signi�cance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1 - This includes �nancial instruments measured using quoted prices.

Level 2 - The fair value of �nancial instrument that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-speci�c estimates. If all signi�cant inputs require to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 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).

Level 3 - If one or more of the signi�cant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

f) Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of Cost and Net Realisable value. The cost of �nished goods is determined by taking material, labour and related factory overheads. Cost is determined on weighted average cost. Further the cost for Work-in-Progress includes material cost, stage wise direct cost and other related manufacturing overheads. Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the �nished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and to make the sale.

Cost of raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares are determined on weighted average basis. Obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories are identi�ed at the time of physical veri�cation of inventories and where necessary, the same are written off or provision is made for such inventories.

g) Revenue Recognition

Ind AS 115 was issued on 28 March 2018 and supersedes Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts and Ind AS 18 Revenue and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with its customers. Ind AS 115 establishes a �ve-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue be recognised at an amount that re�ects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

Ind AS 115 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The Company adopted Ind AS 115 using the modi�ed retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 April 2018 , whereby the comparatives have not been retrospectively adjusted. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insigni�cant.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that re�ects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received / receivable taking into account contractually de�ned terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the Government.

The speci�c recognition criteria for revenue recognition are as follows:

61

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

i) Sale of goods

Sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. The revenue is measured on the basis of the consideration de�ned in the contract with a customer, including variable consideration, such as discounts, volume rebates, or other contractual reductions. As the period between the date on which the Company transfers the promised goods to the customer and the date on which the customer pays for these goods is generally one year or less, no �nancing components are taken into account.

ii) Interest Income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the �nancial asset to the asset�s net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest income is included in other income in the statement of pro�t and loss.

iii) Dividends

Dividend income is recognised when the Company�s right to receive dividend is established, and is included in other income in the statement of pro�t and loss.

h) Employee Bene�ts

(1) Short term employee bene�ts

Short-term employee bene�ts are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(2) Long term employee bene�ts

i) De�ned contribution plans

Employees bene�ts in the form of the Company�s contribution to Provident Fund, Pension scheme, Superannuation Fund and Employees State Insurance are de�ned contribution schemes. The Company recognises contribution payable to these schemes as an expense, when an employee renders the related service.

If the contribution payable exceeds contribution already paid, the de�cit payable is recognised as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service before the end of the reporting period, the Company recognise that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

ii) De�ned bene�t plans

Retirement bene�ts are considered as de�ned bene�t plans. The Company�s net obligation in respect of de�ned bene�t plans is calculated by estimating the amount of future bene�t that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The company provides for its gratuity liability based on actuarial valuation of the gratuity liability as at the Balance Sheet date, based on Projected Unit Credit Method, carried out by an independent actuary. The Company contributes to the gratuity fund, which are recognised as plan assets. The de�ned bene�t obligation as reduced by fair value of plan assets is recognised in the Balance Sheet.

When the calculation results in a potential asset for the company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic bene�ts available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic bene�ts, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

62

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

Remeasurement of the net de�ned bene�t liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in Other Comprehensive Income. Net interest expense (income) on the net de�ned liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net de�ned liability (asset), to the net de�ned liability (asset) at the start of the �nancial year after taking into account any changes as a result of contribution and bene�t payments during the year. Net interest expense and other expenses related to de�ned bene�t plans are recognised in pro�t or loss.

When the bene�ts of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in bene�t that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in pro�t or loss. The company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a de�ned bene�t plan when the settlement occurs.

(3) Other long-term employee bene�ts

Employee bene�ts in the form of long term compensated absences are considered as long term employee bene�ts. The Company�s net obligation in respect of long-term employee bene�ts is the amount of future bene�t that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That bene�t is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurement are recognised in pro�t or loss in the period in which they arise.

The liability for long term compensated absences are provided based on actuarial valuation as at the Balance Sheet date, based on Projected Unit Credit Method, carried out by an independent actuary.

i) Foreign currency transactions

Initial recognition:

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the Company�s functional currency at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Conversion:

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

j) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

k) Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in pro�t or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income

i) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year after taking credit of the bene�ts available under the Income Tax Act and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Annual Report 2018 - 2019

63

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:

  • a) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and

  • b) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for �nancial reporting purposes and the corresponding tax bases used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable pro�t or loss; and

A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable pro�ts will be available against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax bene�t will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable pro�ts improves.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable pro�ts will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax re�ects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

  • a) The entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • b) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

  • Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives rise to future economic bene�ts in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is probable evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax in future. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the Balance Sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic bene�t associated with the asset will be realised.

l) Segment Reporting

The Company's business activity falls within a single segment viz. Fluid power automation, Automotive Tyres Valves & Accessories. The segment has not been identi�ed by taking into account the nature of product, the differing risks, the returns, the organisation structure and the internal reporting systems and the manner in which operating results are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insigni�cant risk of changes in value.

n) Cash �ow statement

Cash �ow statements are prepared in accordance with �Indirect Method� as explained in the Accounting Standard on Statement of Cash Flows (Ind AS - 7). The cash �ows from regular revenue generating, �nancing and investing activity of the Company are segregated.

Duncan Engineering Limited CIN No:L28991PN1961PLC139151 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2019

o) Lease

At inception of an arrangement, it is determined whether the arrangement is or contains a lease, based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date, whether ful�lment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a speci�c asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly speci�ed in an arrangement. Leases are classi�ed as �nance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classi�ed as operating leases.

Operating Lease:

Assets acquired on leases where a signi�cant portion of risk and rewards is retained by the lessor are classi�ed as operating lease. Lease rental are charged to statement of pro�t and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where scheduled increase in rent compensates the Company with expected in�ationary costs

p) Earning per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net pro�t or loss for the period attributable to Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted Earning per Share, the net pro�t or loss for the period attributable to Equity Shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

q) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an out�ow of economic bene�ts will be required to settle the obligation.

Contingent liability is disclosed after careful evaluation of facts, uncertainties and possibility of reimbursement, unless the possibility of an out�ow of resources embodying economic bene�ts is remote. Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in notes.

Contingent assets are not accounted in the �nancial statements unless an in�ow of economic bene�ts is probable.

ii) Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash �ows of the Company�s �nancial instruments will �uctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Company is exposed to risk due to interest rate �uctuation on long term borrowings. Such borrowings are based on �xed as well as �oating interest rate. Interest rate risk is determined by current market interest rates, projected debt servicing capability and view on future interest rate. Such interest rate risk is actively evaluated and is managed through portfolio diversi�cation and exercise of prepayment/re�nancing options where considered necessary.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk on surplus funds parked in �xed deposits . To manage such risks, such investments are done mainly for short durations, in line with the expected business requirements for such funds.
