Item No. 4

M/s Ravi Shah & Associates, Chartered Accountants, (Firm Registration Number: 125079W) (Proprietor Firm) hold the office of statutory auditor for a term of five consecutive years from the conclusion of the 59th Annual General Meeting (2017) until the conclusion of the 64th Annual General Meeting (2022).

In order to enable the statutory auditors of the Company to effectively perform the audit procedures envisaged under various regulatory requirements, it is considered desirable to have a common statutory auditor for all the locations of the Company (except the branch auditor of the Dehradun plant continue up to the conclusion of the 65th AGM). This is also aimed to rationalize all the things and efforts.

The Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company, at their respective meetings held on May 26, 2022, have taken note of this intention of a common statutory auditor for the Company without a branch auditor for the Nashik plant. The branch auditor of the Dehradun plant will continue up to the conclusion of the 65th Annual General Meeting (2023) according to his tenure.

As per the provisions of Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, an appointment of statutory auditors needs the approval of the members at a general meeting.

After a detailed review of the profile, experience, and expertise of a few audit firms/ entities, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company have recommended the appointment of M/s GMJ & Co, Chartered Accountants (Firm Registration Number : 103429W) as Statutory Auditors of the Company, for approval of the members at the 64th Annual General Meeting of the Company.

They hold a valid peer review certificate which is valid up to March 31, 2024.

Considering the professional experience, expertise and technical competencies of M/s GMJ & Co, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are of the opinion that it would be in the best interest of the Company to appoint M/s GMJ & Co as Statutory Auditors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommends to the Members the appointment of M/s GMJ & Co, Chartered Accountants, as Statutory Auditors for five (5) years from the conclusion of this 64th Annual General Meeting (2022) till the conclusion of the 69th Annual General Meeting (2027) on a remuneration of Rs. 9 lakhs per annum towards statutory audit and quarterly limited reviews, excluding reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses at actuals and applicable taxes and subject to annual revisions as may be determined by the Audit Committee and the Board from to time.

There is a change in the fee payable from that paid to the outgoing auditor. M/s Ravi Shah & Associates, Chartered Accountants, current Statutory Auditor and M/s Ratan Chandak & Co, Chartered Accountants, current Branch Auditor are receiving fees of Rs. 3.50 lakhs and Rs. 1.00 lakhs respectively excluding tax. The remuneration to proposed Statutory Auditor M/s GMJ & Co is fixed considering the following factors.

At the time of appointing a Director, a formal letter of appointment is given to the Director, which inter alia explains the role, functions, duties, and responsibilities expected from him as a Director of the Company. The Director is also explained in detail

the compliances required from him under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations 2015 and relevant acts, rules, and regulations. In a view to familiarize him with the Company's operations, the Managing Director & CEO, and Executive Director have a personal discussion with the newly appointed Director. They are also informed of the important policies of the Company including the Code of Conduct for Board members and Senior Management Personnel and the Code of Conduct to regulate, monitor, and report trading by designated persons.

Senior Management makes presentations giving an overview of the Company's operations, products, markets, Board constitution, matters reserved for the Board, and the major risks & risk management strategy. This enables the Directors to get a deep understanding of the Company, its people, values, and culture and facilitates their active participation in overseeing the performance of the Management.

At various Board meetings during the year, quarterly information is made on operations that include information on business performance, operations, projects, market share, financial parameters, working capital management, fund flows, regulatory changes, etc.

The above initiatives help the Director to understand the Company, its business, and the regulatory framework in which the Company operates and equips him to effectively fulfill his role as a Director of the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Company's major business continues with Indian Railways with strong legacy and brand image. Technology-based products for Locomotives & Coaches continue as major strength of the Company's business operations.

Although the primary customer continues to be Indian Railways, however, the Company is putting increased focus on Industrial market by upgrading and expanding the product line besides growth of new business for the European market through marketing operations from Sweden.

Industrial business is likely to be increased considering the growth anticipated in various international and domestic projects in power sector & also infrastructure development planned by the Government of India.

There is a good mix of SMEs, Large Companies and multinationals players in the market for our various product lines.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND NEW PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT

The Company has concentrated on the development of infrastructure for larger production volume for existing products and manufacturing facilities for new product development like Loco Propulsion, Traction Motors, RMPU, 3X130KVA Aux Converters, Loco Transformers, 4.5 KW Regulated Battery Charger, etc. for Indian Railways.

Considering the addition of new products to yield a good business in upcoming years, the focus on product launch and market establishment is a big challenge for the Company.

OPPURTUNITIES AND THREATS

The Company has a strong brand and leadership position in the market for the equipments of 3Ph locomotives and LHB coaches along with the pollution control and environmental protection equipment with updated technology.

While opportunities are emerging with new developments in the Railway segment backed by enormous resources of inhouse R&D coupled with new manufacturing facility, Company can take lead considering the brand name and leadership position in the market, however, increased number of competitors and fall in price is a threat for existing product lines for Railways.

The Company being an established supplier and with the strong brand name in both industrial and railway sectors, market penetration for any new product is possible with existing and new customers.

Development of new products in a shorter period and competing with a larger player, who is having technology from their parent Company, remains a challenge.

OUTLOOK

The government has aggressively targeted increased Electric Locomotive production, electrification of new routes, and modernization of Railway facilities will resultantly increase the market demand in the coming years. The Coach production from various production units is also expected to increase during the current year to compensate for the production loss of the earlier period due to the COVID Pandemic.

RISK AND CONCERNS

Regular products required by Railways are witnessing increased competition in the market with falling selling prices in the reverse auction due to the recent policies of Railways during the current year is a big concern. This is seriously affecting our plans and have to rely more on new developments to compensate the revenue loss.

Some product lines in the Industrial segment are also affected with the increased competition from the unorganized sector with shrinking margins. Delayed payment inflows from Railways have led to increase in working capital and very conservative financial support from Banks for completion of development activities and expansion of business volume remain matter of concern. Current global shortage of semiconductors is also an added concern.

SEGMENT WISE/ PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

The Company operates in a single segment i.e. engineering goods yet we have undertaken diversification of end products through intensive in-house R&D facilities for different applications.

The Company has broadened its product mix for Indian Railways targeting all the segments of 3 Phase Locos, and Coaches and has been listed for approvals to establish more business opportunities. New product developments by in-house R&D are a planned strategy for improving the Railway segment.

Our specialized products for specific applications in Automobile industry, Pollution control, Ballast water treatment and Electrochemical industries are well stabilized in the industrial segment. Our capability of making custom-built designs is an added advantage for our brand.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS & THEIR ADEQUACY

The Company continues to follow an effective system of internal control ensuring the accurate, reliable, and timely preparation of accounting information, securing the assets and interests of the Company with due compliance with various laws and regulations. Internal audits and checks are ongoing processes within the Company.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The Company's financial performance has improved during the financial year 2021-22. The Company is continuously putting efforts to achieve better results with effective monitoring of operational costs.

DEVELOPMENT IN HUMAN RESOURCES / INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

The Company recognizes that Human Resources are an extremely important and critical and long-term investment. The Company's top management honours the dignity of each individual irrespective of the position and highly values the feelings and emotions of the people. Industrial relations with the Union are cordial and peaceful. The Company has made all efforts to retain competent talent with a focus on training.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

During the financial year ended March 31, 2022, revenue from operations increased to 372.10 crores as against 305.09 crores in the preceding year. The Profit after Tax for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 is 779.85 lakhs as against 533.14 lakhs in the previous year.

    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone 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 31st March, 2022, and its profit and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 ('ICAI') together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under 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 on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

  1. Key audit matters 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. We have determined no such key audit matters to be communicated in our audit report.

Other Matters

  1. We did not audit the financial statements/information of Nashik and Dehradun branches included in the financial statements of the Company whose financial statements / financial information reflect total assets of Rs. 7297.64 lakhs for Nashik and Rs. 1375.96 lakhs for Dehradun as at 31st March, 2022 and total revenues of Rs. 18782.32 lakhs of Nashik and Rs. 10601.51 lakhs for Dehradun for the year ended on that date, as considered in the financial statements. The financial statements/information of these branches have been audited by the branch auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these branches, is based solely on the report of such branch auditors.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon.

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

In connection with our audit of the standalone 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.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit or 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 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.
    1. In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. That Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 or assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standard on Auditing 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.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • 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.
  • 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 explaining our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast

significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. 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 auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT OF EVEN DATE TO THE MEMBERS OF HIND RECTIFIERS LIMITED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2022

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

(Referred to in paragraph 3(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

  1. In conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of Hind Rectifiers Limited ("the Company") as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting (IFCoFR) of the Company as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of the Company's 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 Act.

Auditors' Responsibility

    1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's IFCoFR based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of IFCoFR and the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate IFCoFR were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
    1. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the IFCoFR and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of IFCoFR included obtaining an understanding of IFCoFR, 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. 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 IFCoFR.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

  1. A company's IFCoFR 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 IFCoFR 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

  1. Because of the inherent limitations of IFCoFR, 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 IFCoFR to future periods are subject to the risk that IFCoFR may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

  1. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2022 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 issued by the ICAI.

  • 2) Defined benefit plans plan assets measured at fair value.

iii) Rounding of amounts

The financial statements are presented in INR and all values are rounded to the nearest lakhs (INR ,00,000), except when otherwise indicated.

b) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously evaluated by the Company and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the Company believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Differences between actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known / materialised.

The said estimates are based on the facts and events, that existed as at the reporting date, or that occurred after that date but provide additional evidence about conditions existing as at the reporting date.

c) Current / 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 the normal operating cycle.
  • 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 treated as current when it is:

  • Expected to be settled in normal operating cycle.
  • 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.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities. The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents.

d) Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenues primarily from sale of manufactured goods & rendering of services.

The Company has adopted Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers with effect from 1st April 2018.

The Company's obligation to repair and replace faulty products under standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision. Refer Note 61 of the Financial Statements.

Sale of Products

Revenue from sale of products is recognised upon satisfaction of performance obligations, i.e. at a point of time, which occurs when the control is transferred to the customer.

Customers obtain control as per the terms of the respective contracts. In determining the transaction price for sale of product, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration, if any. Invoices are issued according to contractual terms and are usually payable as per the credit period agreed with the customer.

Amounts disclosed in the revenue excludes GST.

Sale of services

Services rendered include Servicing, AMC and Erectioning and Commissioning services.

Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

Invoices are issued according to contractual terms and are usually payable as per the credit period agreed with the customer.

Interest income

Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established.

Export Incentives

Export incentives receivable under various schemes are accounted on accrual basis.

e) Taxes

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted, by the end of the reporting period.

Current tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in the Statement of Profit and Loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible

temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax credit is recognised as deferred tax asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.

f) Property, Plant and Equipment

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Properties in the course of construction for production or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

The initial cost of an asset comprises its purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable taxes), any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset 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, borrowing cost for qualifying assets (i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use)

Other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.

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

The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment over the useful life in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 and management believe that useful life of assets are same as those prescribed in Scehdule II to the Act.

g) Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately or developed in-house are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets representing cost of software capitalised is amortised over its useful life which is estimated to be a period of five years.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses on de-recognition are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss under other expenses / other income.

h) Borrowing costs

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

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs also include exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

i) Inventories

Cost of inventories have been computed to include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and conditions.

  • i) Raw material is valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower. Cost is calculated by applying the weighted average method.
  • ii) Work in progress, Finished Goods and Stock-in-Trade are valued at cost or net realisable value whichever is lower.
  • iii) Scrap is valued at estimated selling price.
  • iv) Stores and Spares are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Tools and Instruments are valued at book value.

j) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions 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.

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.

Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or where any present obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.

When the possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision is made.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits.

Defined Benefit plan

  • The present value of the obligation under defined benefit retirement (gratuity) plan , is determined based on an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the end of each year. In the case of gratuity, which is funded, the fair value of the plan assets is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognise the obligation on net basis.
  • The liability in respect of employees is provided and contributed to Life Insurance Corporation of India under Group Gratuity (Cash Accumulation) Scheme except;
  • a) In case of Managing Director and CEO and Executive Director, Gratuity liability, is provided in accordance with the terms of appointment.
  • b) In case of Nashik and Dehradun Division it is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation.

iii) Other Long Term Employee Benefits

The Company has other long term employee benefits in the form of Leave Encashment. The liability in respect of Leave Encashment is provided for on the basis of actuarial valuation made at the end of the financial year. The aforesaid Leave Encashment is not funded.

iv) Termination Benefits

Compensation to employees who have opted for retirement under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme and termination of services of the employees by the Company is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss account in the year on actual basis.

m) Research and Development

Research and Development expenditure of revenue nature is charged to revenue and capital expenditure is treated as fixed assets.

Expenses incurred till the research phase are charged in the statement of profit and loss whereas the expenses for the development phase are capitalised as Intangible assets on completion of certain conditions.

n) Foreign currencies

  • iii) Transactions completed during the year are adjusted at the prevailing rates.

  • iv) The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee (INR), which is company's functional currency.

o) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effect of all dilutive potential equity shares.

p) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. 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.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal company classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

r) Provision for Warranty

The Company typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects that existed at the time of sale, as required by law. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for under Ind AS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. In certain contracts, the Company provides warranty for an extended period of time and includes rectification of defects that existed at the time of sale and are normally bundled together with the main contract. Such bundled contracts include two performance obligations because the promises to transfer the goods and services and the provision of service-type warranty are capable of being distinct. Using the relative stand-alone selling price method, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and recognised as a liability. Revenue is recognised over the period in which the service-type warranty is provided on a basis appropriate to the nature of the contract and services to be rendered.

Provisions for warranty-related costs are recognised annually.

Note 65 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The Company's principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management provides assurance that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

A. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet it's obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables and other financial assets.

Trade receivables

Customer credit is managed by concerned business manager subject to the Company's established policy procedures and control related to customer credit risk management.

Each outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and if outstanding is above due date the further shipments are controlled and can only be released if there is a proper justification.

The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as medium, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets and their credit worthiness are monitored at periodical intervals.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets.

Expected loss rate - 67.29%
Gross carrying amount of doubtful Trade Receivables - 807.20
Loss allowance provision during the year - 97.92

* The percentage of expected loss rate is the average of the rate arrived after dividing the total Loss allowance provision by the Gross carrying amount of doubtful debtors. This is done because the Company has taken different rates varying from 10% to 100% depending on the period of the trade receivables.

* Loss allowance provision during the year of 15.47 lakhs is after subtracting the balance in provision account as on 31st March 2021 and is provided at the expected loss rate on the gross carrying amount of debtors. `

B. MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises of three types of risks – interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk in a fluctuating market environment. Financial instrument affected by market risks includes loans and borrowings, deposits and other financials assets.

The Company has designed risk management frame work to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.

(i) Currency Risk

The Company operates internationally and portion of the business is transacted in several currencies and consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through it's sales and services in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Currency Risk can be majorly divided into two main categories -

    1. Risk of change in Profits due to change in currency rate of Outstanding Trade Payables and Receivables (net of advances)
    1. Risk of increased outflows due to change in currency rate of Other Payables.

Foreign Currency Sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD and EURO exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company's profit before tax and cash flows is due to changes in the fair value of Outstanding Trade Payables and Receivables (net of advances) and the effect not on profit but on cash flow is due to Other Payables. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

2. The impact on the Company's cash flow due to changes in the fair value of Other Payables

In management's opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk because the exposure at the end of the reporting period does not reflect the exposure during the year.

(ii) Commodity Price Risk

  • a. The Company is subjected to Commodity Price risk due to the fluctuations in the price of copper. This is procured from domestic suppliers. However, domestic price of the copper is affected based on the price at the London Metal Exchange (LME) and exchange rates. In case copper prices undergo upward / downward revision due to LME or exchange rate, the price difference are adequately covered by the price variation clause of the order.
  • b. Exposure of the company to commodity and commodity risks faced by it throughout the year.

  1. In majority of orders, company do have price variation clause (PVC) issued by Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers' Association (IEEMA) which covers all component of cost including commodities and accordingly company do not have any major risk due to fluctuation in commodities price.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Company manages interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate of interest on loans and borrowings. To manage this, Company has taken loans from banks which are linked to MCLR rate of the bank, which are variable.

Interest rate sensitivity

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

floating rate borrowings, as follows:

Particulars Currency Increase / Decrease in

INR -50 28.85
31-Mar-21 INR +50 (31.98)
INR -50 31.98

(iv) Equity Price Risk

The Company is not exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments since the Company does not have any equity investments.

C. LIQUIDITY RISK

(i) Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows on daily, monthly and yearly basis. The Company ensures that there is a free credit limit available at the start of the year which is sufficient for repayments getting due in the ensuing year. Loan arrangements, credit limits with various banks including working capital and monitoring of operational and working capital issues are always kept in mind for better liquidity management

(ii) Maturities of financial liabilities

The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The amount disclosed in the tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
