MANAGEMENT NOTE

Dear Shareholders

It is our privilege to write to you and present the Annual Report for FY21.

These are challenging times, and I hope you and all other members of your family are safe and in good health.

India's auto industry which consists of automobiles and auto components witnessed one of its most challenging years during FY 21 with declining sales figures vis-à-vis the previous few years owing to weak domestic demand and falling exports.

We would like to assure the shareholders that your Company has taken every step to ensure safety of the employees and the community. We have established world-class safety measures and preventive protocols at all locations. We are taking employees health and safety as the number one priority during the lockdown, unlock and ramp up period.

The world and certainly India has seen significant change – various lockdowns and unlocks continued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, slowly but surely, we are trying to come back to what would be the new normal. The impact that this pandemic has had on our lives and livelihoods – right from reduction in GDP to employment uncertainties to supply chain disruptions – would take significant time to undo.

However, what is heartening is that our operations have restored to normal levels from May, 2020, export is doing very well, the Company has delivered a reasonably good performance across all business parameters & shown positive numbers despite multiple business challenges.

We see strong growth prospects as the larger market scenario starts improving –wide range of well accepted high quality products, major share with leading OEM customers & continuing investments.

Our performance- We recorded revenues of Rs. 150.90 Crores and EBITDAof Rs. 35.93 Crores during the FY21.

Significant cost control measures, focus on exports helped the Company to improve the operating EBITDA margin during the year under review inspite of loss of complete one month due to lockdown.

During the year under report, the Company augmented its capacity by 33 Lacs pieces p.a. with addition of new customers.

During the year, the Company declared and paid interim dividend @ 150% for the FY21 and tried to ensure that all stakeholders are by & large happy.

We express our sincere thanks to all our Customers, Suppliers, Shareholders, Employees, Bankers, Auditors for their continued support in these difficult times.

STAY SAFE

Management Discussion and Analysis Report

A. INDUSTRYSTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Indian Economy Overview:

India has emerged as the fastest growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.

With an estimated annual contraction of 8% in GDP, 2020-21 has been the worst year in terms of economic performance in India since 1950-51.

While the Indian economy was losing growth momentum because of the COVID – 19 pandemic, the negative performance in 2020-21 is largely on account of the nationwide lockdown imposed on March 25, 2020 to prevent the spread of Covid-19 pandemic in the country, and continuing restrictions on economic and recreational activities for the rest of the year has severely impacted the economy and business. To be sure, the economy has been recovering with the easing of restrictions. India's GDPre-entered growth territory during the quarter ended December 2020.

With the economic activities gaining momentum post Covid 19 lockdown and rollout of coronavirus vaccines, the Indian economy is likely to do better than the projection of an 8 per cent shrinkage in the current fiscal, says Finance Ministry.

"Positive GDP growth in Q3 of FY21 – for the first time since the onset of the pandemic – adds to the positive sentiments as the economy is set to close the year with activity levels higher than measured in the second advance estimates of GDP," the report said.

The Reserve Bank's industrial outlook survey (IOS) conducted in Q3 of FY21 has also re-affirmed this optimism, with respondents indicating a strengthening of production, order books and employment during the third quarter, driven by easing of lockdowns, re-opening of businesses and improvement in the availability of finance from banks and internal sources.

However, emerge of second wave of COVID – 19 pandemic and local lockdowns announced by various state governments from time to time from March 21 will have further adverse impact on the Indian economic in general and on the Company in particular during the FY22.

Industrial Review:

The production and demand of the auto component industry is directly proportional to that of the automobiles industry. Although a sizeable portion of auto components production caters to OEMs, the aftermarket or the replacement markets have emerged as crucial sources of revenue for the auto components industry over the past few years. In recent years, manufacturing of auto components is gradually gaining traction toward Asian countries such as China, India, and others due to the presence of higher market potential and low-cost manufacturing.

The Indian auto component industry, being a critical part of the OEM value chain, has grown at a healthy pace over the past few years. The organised segment of this industry includes OEMs who are engaged in the

manufacturing of high-value precision instruments, while the unorganized segment comprises of low-valued products catering to after-market services. One of the main challenges faced by the indigenous component manufacturers is the low-level of technology adaptation and R&D intensity.

Astable government framework, increased purchasing power, large domestic market, and an ever-increasing development in infrastructure have made India a favourable destination for investment. As per Automobile Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), automobile component export from India is expected to reach US$ 80 billion by 2026.

Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in lockdowns across the globe leading to plant closures, job losses, economic contraction and consequent decline in demand.

FY21 was a year of transition for the Indian auto components industry. The year presented fresh challenges in the form of outbreak of Covid-19 and the resultant supply side disruptions, loss in production of automobiles, rise in input costs, trade disruptions, etc. Alongside, the industry also witnessed business growth opportunities for the long term.

According to ACMA, the turnover of the auto components industry fell by 34% YoY to Rs 1.19 Lakh Crore (USD 15.9 bn) during H1-FY21. The second half of FY21 has shown a strong recovery. However, FY22 is expected to witness a positive growth of 18 to 20%, after two consecutive fiscals of de-growth. According to the recent ACMA-PwC joint survey of ACMAleadership, despite concerns of another wave of the pandemic, the industry is cautiously optimistic about the prospects of the Indian economy and the automotive sector for FY22.

Achievements

Following are achievements in the past four years:

  • * Production of two wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and three wheelers reached 21.03 million, 3.43 million, 0.75 million, and 1.13 million, respectively, in FY20.
  • * Under National Automotive Testing and research and development (R&D) Infrastructure Project (NATRiP), various facilities including passive safety labs comprising of crash core facility and crash instrumentations including dummies were established at ICAT-Manesar and ARAI-Pune.

Futuristic Outlook:

The Indian auto-components industry is expected to become the third largest in the world by 2025 and Auto Components industry exports to grow 5X in next 10 years.

Keeping pace with the automotive industry, India's auto component industry has been flourishing.

Few trends that are favorable for the industry are as below:

  • Growing working population and expanding middle class are expected to remain key demand driver.

  • Reduction in excise duties in motor vehicles sector will spur the demand for auto components.

Independent Auditor's Report

TO THE MEMBERS OF MENON BEARINGS LIMITED

Report on the Ind AS Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying Ind AS financial statements of MENON BEARINGS LIMITED ("the st company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Key Audit Matters

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.

Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the Going Concern assumption.

There was a minor impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the turnover of the Company. Also the management is of the view that the impact of Covid-19 will not affect the Going Concern assumption for our Company.

Based on the circumstances and facts of the audit entity, in our opinion, there is no effect on the Going concern assumption.

Responsibilities of the Management and those charged with Governance for the Ind AS Financial Statements

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the Ind AS financial statements that give true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Annexure B to Independent Auditor's Report

The Annexure referred to in our Report of even date to the members of Menon Bearings Limited on the st accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March, 2021

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 Menon Bearings Limited ("the st 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 Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (hereinafter "ICAI"). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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.

Auditor's 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 ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting 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 judgement, 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. ACompany's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that;

  • I. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
  • II. 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 authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
  • III. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the 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, 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 st March 31 , 2021 based on;

  • i. existing policies and procedures adopted by the Company for ensuring orderly and efficient conduct of business.
  • ii. continuous adherence to Company's policies.
  • iii. existing procedures in relation to safeguarding of Company's fixed assets, investments, inventories, receivables, loans and advances made and cash and bank balances.
  • iv. existing system to prevent and detect fraud and errors.
  • v. accuracy and completeness of Company's accounting records; and
  • vi. existing capacity to prepare timely and reliable financial information.

  • c) Labour cost and
  • d) Directly attributable overheads incurred up to the date the asset is ready for its intended use. However, cost excludes excise duty, value added tax, service tax, and GST to the extent credit of the duty or tax is availed of.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

ii) Component Accounting:

The component of assets are capitalized only if the life of the components vary significantly and whose cost is significant in relation to the cost of the respective asset, the life of the component in assets are determined based on technical assessment and past history of replacement of such components in the assets. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as separate asset is derecognised when replaced.

iii) Other cost:

All other repairs and maintenance cost are charged to the statement of profit and loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Profit or Losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss within other income/ (loss).

iv) Depreciation and amortization:

  • a) Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis, over the useful life of the buildings and other equipments as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.
  • b) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is charged over the estimated useful life of the asset or part of the asset as evaluated on technical assessment on straight line method, in accordance with Part A of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
  • c) The estimated useful life of the tangible fixed assets on technical assessment followed by the Company is furnished below:
Description Range of Useful lives in years
Buildings 30 - 60
Plant & Equipment 10 - 15
Furniture & Fixtures 08 - 10
Office equipments 03 - 06
Vehicles 08 - 10

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are assessed as required.

  • d) The residual value for all the above assets are retained at 5% of the cost. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, for each reporting period.
  • e) On tangible fixed assets added/disposed off during the year, depreciation is charged on pro-rata basis for the period for which the asset was purchased and used.

4) Impairment:

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 costs of disposal and value in use.

In respect of assets whose impairment are to be assessed with reference to other related assets and such group of assets have independent cash flows (Cash Generating Units), such assets are grouped and tested for impairment.

Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

5) Leases:

i) Assets taken on Lease

As per the terms of lease agreements there is no substantial transfer of risk and reward of the property to the Company and hence such leases are treated as operating lease. The payments on operating lease are recognized as an expense over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed.

  • ii) Decommissioning charges in respect of properties like Plant and equipment, furniture fixtures and office equipment's presently located in land taken on lease are not provided for as it is impractical to estimate the sum that will be incurred at the time the lease comes to end. Further there is also likelihood of the lessor renewing the lease.
  • 6) Financial Assets Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets:
  • i) For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified and measured based on the entity's business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset at:
  • a) Those to be measured subsequently at fair value either through other comprehensive income (Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income-FVTOCI) or through profit or loss (Fair Value through Profit and Loss-FVTPL) and;
  • b) Those measured at amortized cost
      1. Financial assets at Amortised Cost Includes assets that are held within a business model where the objective is to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The loss allowance at each reporting period is evaluated based on the expected credit losses for next 12 months and credit risk exposure.

The Company also measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition

  1. Financial assets at Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI): There are no such assets

  2. Financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

The Company has investment in shares which are fair valued through Profit & Loss account. Any transaction cost on the same are income to Profit & Loss account. The total Profit due to Net Gain on Investments shares is Rs. 92,30,000/-

ii. Impairment of financial assets:

All financial assets are reviewed for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets.

iii. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting:

There are no such transactions.

iv. Trade receivables

The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance based on lifetime Expected Credit Loss at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

v. Derecognition of financial assets

Afinancial asset is derecognised only when;

  • a) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
  • b) The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but expects a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients. There are no such derecognitions.

7) Financial Liabilities:

i. Classification, subsequent measurement and derecognition of financial liabilities

a. Classification

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or at amortised cost. The Company's financial liabilities include borrowings & trade and other payables.

b. Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.

c. Derecognition

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

8) Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost is ascertained on weighted average basis in accordance with the method of valuation prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

i. Raw materials

Raw materials are valued at cost of purchase, net of duties (credit availed w.r.t taxes and duties) and includes all expenses incurred in bringing the materials to location of use.

ii. Work-in-process and Finished Goods

Work-in-process and finished goods include conversion costs in addition to the landed cost of raw materials.

iii. Stores and spares

Stores, spares and tools cost includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

9) Income Taxes

Tax expense recognized in the statement of profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates in accordance with tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at reporting date. Deferred taxes pertaining to items recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) are disclosed under OCI.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the underlying tax loss or deductible temporary difference will be utilized against future tax liability. This is assessed based on the Company's forecast of future earnings, excluding non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits on the use of any unused tax loss or credit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized in full, although Ind AS 12 'Income Taxes' specifies some exemptions. As a result of these exemptions the Company does not recognize deferred tax liability on temporary differences relating to goodwill, or to its investments in subsidiaries. Currently there are no such transactions.

10) Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits

i. Short term obligations:

Short term obligations are those that are expected to be settled fully within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. They are recognised up to the end of the reporting period at the amounts expected to be paid at the time of settlement.

ii. Other long term employee benefits obligations:

The liabilities for earned leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are, therefore, recognised and provided for at the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employee up to the end of reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

iii. Post-employment obligation:

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

a) Defined contribution plan such as Gratuity & provident fund

Gratuity obligation:

The company has created The Employees Group Gratuity fund which has taken gratuity cum life insurance policy from LIC of India. Premium on said policy is calculated by LIC & Conveyed to us on the basic of Project unit credit Method. The same is accounted for in books of accounts.

Provident Fund:

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees salary. The provident fund contributions are made to EPFO.

Bonus Payable:

The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonus. The Company recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

11) Provisions and contingent liabilities

I. Provisions:

AProvision is recorded when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Provisions are evaluated 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 expenses.

ii. Contingent liabilities:

Whenever there is possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly

within the control of the entity or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because (a) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or (b) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability are considered as contingent liability. Show cause notices are not considered as Contingent Liabilities unless converted into demand.

iii. Contingent Assets:

The Company does not recognise contingent assets. If it is virtually certain then they will be recognised as asset. These are assessed continually to ensure that the developments are appropriately disclosed in the financial statements.

12) 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. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are considered for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

13) Cash and Cash equivalents and Cash Flow Statement:

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments maturing within three months from the date of acquisition and which are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to only an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before tax is appropriately classified for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future receipts or payments. In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cheques on hand, balances with banks in current accounts and other short- term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

14) Segment reporting:

The Company operates in one business segment namely "Auto Components". Hence reporting under this standard is not applicable.

15) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred under finance costs. During the year, the company has capitalised borrowing costs of Rs.NIL

III. Significant management judgment in applying accounting policies and estimation of Uncertainty

While preparing the financial statements, management has made a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

(i) Significant management judgment

The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have significant effect on the financial statements.

Recognition of deferred tax assets/Liability

The extent to which deferred tax assets/Liability can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability that future taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In addition, careful judgment is exercised in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax issues..

(ii) Estimation of uncertainty

Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is mentioned below. Actual results may be different.

a. Impairment of non-financial assets

In assessing impairment, management has estimated economic usefulness of the assets, the recoverable amount of each asset or cash- generating units based on expected future cash flows and use of an interest rate to discount them. Estimation of uncertainty relates to assumptions about economically future operating cash flows and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

b. Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technological obsolescence that may change the utility of assets including Intangible Assets.

c. Inventories

Management has carefully estimated the net realizable values of inventories, taking into account the most reliable evidence available at each reporting date. The future realization of these inventories may be affected by market-driven changes.

d. Defined benefit obligation (DBO)

Management's estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may significantly impact the DBO amount and the annual defined benefit expenses (as analysed in Note .10).

e. Current and non-current classification

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
