MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:
I. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS:
The financial year commenced with huge disruptions caused by Covid19 which turned into a raging pandemic as the year progressed. The Company had also to contend with challenges in the supply chain arising from restrictions on mobility and frequent lockdowns that were announced from time to time.The year under review also witnessed a sharp and sustained surge in commodity prices with some metal prices hitting all time highs. This contributed to pressure on margins as prices of steel and alloys have a significant bearing on the profitability of the Company
The future of welding holds great promise, as methods are devised for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials and for creating products of innovative shapes & designs. In the context of the above, the Company continued to maintain its position as a leading player in the domestic welding industry. The Company's geographical reach within the Country, strong financial profile & benefits derived from being part of a group which has wide presence across the globe helped deliver a strong performance in an extremely difficult economic environment.
II. OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
Threats:
The Country is in the grip of a second wave of Covid 19 with catastrophic impact all around triggering a fresh and serious set of measures to contain its spread. The Company has been adapting to ever changing needs prioritizing health and safety while delivering on its commitments to customers. The Company continues to follow applicable guidelines on safety protocols as directed by the Government and also internal guidelines on health and safety.
We continue to see threats arising from excess capacities in the market and competition from global players pursuing growth in an anemic environment. Additionally, volatilities in customer segments and any economy linked headwinds pose risks as well.
Opportunities:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected worldwide and all the industries are having the strain due to the effect of the same. However the governments have taken a lot of steps in improving the situation. In India, the government has put in lots of efforts in promoting the manufacturing sector with the 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' schemes and also announcing special focus on MSMEs with special schemes. This has helped the manufacturing industries a lot to improve the situation.
The process of welding is a precise, reliable, cost-effective and a highly technical method for joining materials in manufacturing industries. Actually, no other technique is so widely used by manufacturers in India to join metals and alloys efficiently to add value to their products. Most objects in modern society, right from buildings and bridges, to vehicles and medical devices, cannot be made without the use of welding. At present, welding is used in a wide variety of materials and products, with the help of advanced technologies as lasers and plasma arcs. The future of welding holds immense promise as methods are devised for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials, and for creating products of innovative shapes and designs.
III. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:
The company's revenue saw a decline from Rs. 272 Crores in the financial year 2019-20 to Rs. 252 Crores in the financial year 2020-21. However, other expenses of the Company along with cost of material consumed along with finance cost has reduced significantly.
The Company is focused on maintaining a healthy balance sheet by reducing its debt exposure and managing operations with a reasonable working capital cycle.
The Company continuously endeavours to improve gross margins through a mix cost control, product pricing and innovation. The Company saw a rise in profit in the year under review of about Rs. 2.85 Crores.
IV. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY.
Internal checks and controls covering operations of the Company are in place and are constantly being improved upon. Adequate system exists to safeguard company's assets through insurance on reinstatement basis and maintenance of proper records.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of GEE Limited
Report on the Indian Accounting Standard (“Ind AS”) Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2021
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of GEE Limited(“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the financial statements”). In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2021, and profit (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs 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 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 opinion.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters ('KAM') are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Sr. No. |
Key Audit Matter | Auditor’s Response |
|---|---|---|
| Disputed excise duty matter – Rs. 2.07 Crores The Company had imported certain materials in the year 2008-09 where the excise authorities had demanded Rs. 4.02 Crores. Under the instructions from excise authorities the Company reversed under protest Rs. 3.09 Crores CENVAT credit availed during 2008-09. Thereafter the company filed an appeal with CESTAT claiming refund of Rs. 2.07 Crores. The appeal has been finally heard in January 2019. Based on legal and subject matter expert views, the company expects considerable amount as relief in the above appeal case with CESTAT. (Refer Note No. 33 – Contingent Liabilities and Commitments) |
Procedures performed by the Auditor : Our procedure in connection with company's claim regarding CENVAT Credit and refund of Rs. 2.07 Crores paid under protest involved examining the submissions made by the company's excise consultants. We also made independent enquiries with indirect tax experts who confirmed that this is a good case for contesting and they are of the opinion that the company can expect big relief in the matter. In light of the above, we assessed the adequacy of disclosures in financial statements. |
|
| The company's scrutiny assessment for assessment year 2016-17 was completed in December 2018 and DCIT has raised tax demand of Rs. 70.96 lakhs against which the company has filed an appeal with th CIT Appeals -1, Thane on 14 January, 2019. The DCIT has disallowed the company's claim in respect of long term capital gain from sale of flat (property held for sale in books of accounts). The tax department's contention is that the period of capital gain is to be calculated from the date of registration of purchase agreement of the flat and not from the date of allotment letter given by the builder. The company's tax consultant has opined that there are several precedents confirming the company's claim and that they can expect a favourable outcome in this appeal matter. (Refer Note No. 33 – Contingent Liabilities and Commitments) |
We have examined the grounds of appeal and statement of facts filed by the company with CIT Appeals -1, Thane in consultation with tax experts. We have also reviewed various judgements including High Court judgements which have gone against the revenue department in similar facts. There are few cases which have been determined in favour of the revenue department. The number of judgements against the revenue department outnumber the ones in their favour. We finally concluded that we should go by the Honourable Bombay High Court and ITAT decisions which have gone against the revenue department. In light of the above, the company's disclosure in this matter is adequate. |

Other Information
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 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.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company's management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit / loss (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows 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. 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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. Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
l Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
-
l 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.
-
l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
l 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 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance 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.
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditors' Report
[Referred to in paragraph pertaining to “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirement” of our Report of even date to the Members of GEE Limited on the Ind AS financial statements for the year ended 31 March, 2021]st
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 GEE Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the 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 (IFCOFR) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 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 Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over Financial 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 financial 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 financial controls over financial reporting 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 system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness.
Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial 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 judgments, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting 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 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 the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial 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 financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion to the best of our information and according to explanation given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

th
These financial statements are authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 June, 2021
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Statement of Compliance :
The financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act.
1.2 Basis of Preparation and Presentation :
The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention basis except for the following:
- certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) and contingent consideration that are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at fair value.
1.3 Current versus Non-current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
-
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
-
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
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:
-
It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
-
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
-
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
For this purpose, the Company has ascertained the operating cycle as the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.
1.4 Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statement of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR) currency, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Realised gains and losses on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the year-end are translated at the year-end exchange rates, and the resultant exchange difference is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost
1.5 Property, plant and equipment
Freehold Land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost comprises of the purchase price or construction cost (including non-creditable/nonrefundable taxes), any costs directly attributable to bringing the property, plant and equipment into the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of any decommissioning obligation, if any, and, for assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use, finance costs. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.
46
==> picture [605 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
Subsequent expenditures related to an item of property, plant and equipment are added to its gross book value or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with them will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
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 in the year in which the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation method, estimated useful life and residual value
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the Straight Line Method (SLM) so as to expense the cost less residual values over their estimated useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 except in case of following assets, wherein based on internal assessment and technical evaluation a different useful life has been determined:
· Depreciation of leasehold land is provided upto 31st March, 1994. No depreciation has been charged on leasehold land in subsequent years
Property, plant and equipment which are added or disposed off during the year, depreciation is provided on pro-rata basis.
In line with the provisions of Schedule II of the Companies Act 2013, the Company depreciates significant components having different useful lives as compared to the main asset, based on the individual useful life of the components. Useful life for such components is assessed based on the historical experience and internal technical inputs.
The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets' residual values are useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss with other gains/losses.
1.6 Intangible assets
Intangible asset comprise of computer software and is stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.
Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortised over the useful life of assets, not exceeding 10 years.
Computer Software is amortised over a period of three years.
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
1.7 Impairment of assets
All assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered impairment earlier are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period
1.8 Investment property
Property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where applicable borrowing costs. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
1.9 Inventories
Raw material, packing material, work in process, stores, tools and dies and finished goods are valued at cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower.
Cost of raw material, packing material and stores, tools and dies comprises of cost of purchases. Cost of work in process and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories also includes all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on first-in-first-out basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

5560 TH ANNUAL REPORT 20 1520 - 21 16
==> picture [56 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
1.10 Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost net of any expected credit losses, if any.
1.11 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
1.12 Assets held for sale
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. A sale is considered highly probable and is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognized.
Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet under “Other Current Assets”. The liabilities for assets held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet.
1.13 Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, except in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed through the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
· those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
- those measured at amortised cost
Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised only when:
-
the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or
-
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows to one or more recipient
1.14 Financial Liabilities
Classification as liability 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.
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
1.15 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss or other gains/losses.
48
==> picture [605 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for atleast 12 months after the reporting period.
1.16 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
1.17 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.18 Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, warranties, discounts and returns are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
1.19 Contingent liability
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
1.20 Revenue Recognition
Sale of goods
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue is reduced for customer discounts, rebates granted, other similar allowances, sales taxes/value added taxes, goods and services tax (GST) and duties collected on behalf of third parties.
The Company recognises revenue when the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the buyer which generally coincides when the goods are despatched in accordance with the terms of sale, the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
Effective from 1st April 2018 the company has applied IND AS 115 – Revenue from sale of goods and services. Under this standard, revenue is recognised on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of the promised goods or services to a customer in an amount being the transaction price that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The performance obligation in case of sale of goods is satisfied at a point in time which is generally at the time of dispatch/delivery. In respect of sale of goods and services where the company participates in tenders, the control of the goods is transferred on dispatch and revenue is recognised in accordance with the terms of the tender.
For contracts accepted through tendering process and where separate warranty terms are prescribed, these obligations are not deemed to be separate performance obligations and therefore estimated and included in the total costs of the products. Where required, amounts are recognised separately accordingly in line with IND AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Except for contracts accepted on tendering basis, there is no major variation between the earlier IND AS standards (IND AS 18 - revenue and IND AS 11 –construction costs) and IND AS -115. Therefore the adoption of the standard did not have any material impact to the financial statements.
Export benefit duty drawback
Incomes in respect of duty drawback in respect of exports made during the year are accounted on accrual basis
Interest and dividend income
Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss using effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the Company's right to receive dividend is established.
Claims
Insurance claims are accounted on acceptance basis. All other claims/entitlements are accounted on the merits of each case or on realization.

1.21 Retirement and other employee benefits
Short term employee benefits
Liabilities for salaries, wages and performance incentives including non- monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefits obligations in the Balance Sheet.
Long term employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Company has Defined Contribution Plans for its employees such as Provident Fund, Employee's State Insurance, etc. and contribution to these plans are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred, as the Company has no further obligation beyond making the contributions.
Defined benefit plans
Gratuity: The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.
Changes in present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.
1.22 Income tax
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, are included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with prevailing income tax law.
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the time of reporting.
Current taxes are recognised in statement of profit or loss, except when they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity. Income tax assets and liabilities are presented separately in the Balance Sheet except where there is a right of set-off within fiscal jurisdictions and an intention to settle such balances on a net basis.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Balance Sheet at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply in the year when the related deferred tax asset is expected to realise or the deferred tax liability is expected to settle.
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 other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are set off if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxation authority.
1.23 Leases
The Company has adopted Ind AS 116-Leases effective 1st April, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. The Company has applied the standard to its leases with the cumulative impact recognised on the date of initial application (1st April, 2019).
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for Land and Buildings. The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:
-
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
-
(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
-
(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
50
==> picture [605 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short term leases) and leases of low value assets. For these short term and leases of low value assets, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The remeasurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
1.24 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
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.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the 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 input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
1.25 Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
1.26 Earnings per share
Basic earning per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of diluted potential equity shares.

1.27 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Managing Director and Finance Director of the Company.
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing welding consumables, copper coated wires, flux cored wires and welding fluxes and is organisationally managed in two units – one in Maharashtra and one in West Bengal. The Company's business comprises of only one segment. It has customers in India as well as outside India. Thus the Company has only one business segment but different geographical reporting segment i.e. Domestic and International.
1.28 Dividend to Equity Shareholders
Dividend to equity shareholders is recognised as a liability and deducted from shareholders' equity, in the period in which the dividends are approved by the equity shareholders in the general meeting.
1.29 Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method whereby profit/loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
1.30 Contributed Equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
1.31 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.
The areas involving critical estimates or judgements are:
-
Estimation of current tax expense and payable
-
Estimated fair value of unlisted securities
-
Estimated useful life of intangible asset
-
Estimation of defined benefit obligation
-
Estimation of provision and contingent liabilities
-
Recognition of deferred tax liability
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Note:2 Recent accounting pronouncements
On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. The amendments revise Division I, II and III of Schedule III and are applicable from April 1, 2021.

-
Specified format for disclosure of shareholding of promoters.
-
Specified format for ageing schedule of trade receivables, trade payables, capital work-in-progress and intangible asset under development.
-

Sensitivity Analysis

Amt. (.)|March 31, 2020<br>Amt. (.)|
|---|---|---|
|Projected Benefit Obligation on Current Assumptions|1,95,80,676|1,53,71,454|
|Delta Effect of +1% Change in Rate of Discounting|(11,46,911)|(9,34,771)|
|Delta Effect of -1% Change in Rate of Discounting|13,17,271|10,73,309|

|Delta Effect of -1% Change in Rate of Salary Increase|(10,39,620)|(7,56,836)|
|Delta Effect of +1% Change in Rate of Employee Turnover|7,403|51,583|
|Delta Effect of -1% Change in Rate of Employee Turnover|(10,983)|(58,845)|
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.

Fair Value Hierarchy
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the company has classified its financial instrument into three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.
Level 1 : Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instrument measured using quoted prices
Level 2 : The fair value of financial 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-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3 : Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable .
The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021:
