Performance of the Company

Your Directors are pleased to inform you that the Company recorded a positive growth of 10% during the first half of the financial year, however, experienced negative growth in the second half due to a slowdown in the Auto sector, coupled with excess supplies from China. In spite of this, the year has ended on a satisfactory note.

The Manufacturing sector in general and the Auto sector in particular, which was buoyant during the first half of the financial year, experienced a recessionary situation in the second half of the year and this trend looks likely to continue for some part of the next financial year. Apprehensions related to the US China trade war also created a slowdown in China resulting in surplus availability directed towards supplies to non-US exports markets. However, despite short-term challenges, the global tyre manufacturers are having a positive outlook on a medium term / long term and thus have committed an investment outlay of over US $ 8 Bn which is good news for rubber chemicals players including your company.

Against this backdrop, your company has posted Revenue from Operations of 1043 Crores as compared to 989 Crores for the previous year a growth of more than 5%.

Your company continues to practice its ethical business strategy and all regular customers were served in a timely manner with the best quality and services at affordable prices.

Domestic Market

Your company has recorded a Net Domestic turnover of 727 Crores as against 713 Crores for the previous year. In view of the reasons mentioned in the previous para, the domestic sales reported a marginal growth as compared to the previous Financial Year 2017-18.

The Domestic tyre industry got impacted by the slowdown in the OEM industry which started from August 2018 onwards and the trend has not yet shown any significant improvement. The slowdown led to a drop in capacity utilization at the major tyre companies. Recent interactions with customers, business associates and other external consultants and based on their feedback we look forward for recovery and positive signs in the market. In view of the BS VI auto emission introduction, we are hopeful that auto sales is likely

to witness a growth from September 2019 onwards due to prebuying. This is also endorsed by a recent opinion report expressed by ICRA which is predicting a growth of 7-9 % for the auto sector in India.

Expectedly, rubber chemicals prices softened from October 2018 in view of the slow down, better availability and drop in corresponding CIF levels. The global slowdown fortunately softened the prices of major raw materials. From the high levels of June 2018, the prices have dropped by more than 40 % in certain raw materials.

Though China accounts for about 70% of world’s rubber chemical production, it only consumes about 33-35 % of the rubber chemicals, resulting in exportable surplus, which makes it possible to dump it into neighboring markets, including India. The Company has made necessary applications before the Director General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) towards extension of anti-dumping duty in respect of six of its products. The matter is subjudice at this point of time.

Exports

For the year under review, Exports showed a healthy growth of 24% in revenue. Your company, despite challenging conditions experienced in the global market, recorded its best export performance. In view of our expanded presence in the international market, your Company is hopeful to participate more fruitfully in certain key accounts and the exports business activity is expected to cross the current level of ` 316 Crores in the coming years on a back of higher capacity.

Your company strategically continues to promote some high quality and high value speciality products in the export market which contribute significantly to our export turnover and margins. In case of other products, where competition is acute from China/Korea/ EU and pricing unattractive, your company continues to maintain only a strategic presence in certain select key accounts, focusing on long term business strategy as well as to ensure better capacity utilisation.

Operations

The production of all products was aligned in line with the market conditions in view of the auto industry slow down. As a result, some production cuts had to be undertaken to manage the inventories.

On the input fronts, the sharp reduction in crude oil and Benzene prices have resulted in sharp downward movements in prices of all major inputs, more particularly from September 2018 onwards. Crude Oil witnessed a downtrend in price from November 2018 and stabilized in the range of $62- $66/ barrel at the end of the year. Benzene prices too witnessed sharp downward movement from the levels of US $ 1200 per MT above US $ 585 per MT at the end of the year. Increased availability of Aniline due to slow down in Methylene Diphenyl Di-isocyante (MDI) demand resulted in the spreads dropping significantly lower over Benzene spot price. As a result, your company managed to enter into long term contractual arrangements with its vendors in respect of Aniline at a very attractive fixed spread over spot Benzene price.

Project

It may be recalled that the Board of Directors of your company had approved a capital expenditure of ` 170 Crores in March 2017. In terms of the said plan, capex which was to be incurred

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

at Navi Mumbai, got commissioned by the end of June 2018 and Dahej expansion plans got commissioned by end of January 2019. There was slight delay in execution of expansion; however, due to slowdown in the industry there was no negative impact on the business. Currently, the products manufactured out of the Dahej expansion projects are sampled and are awaiting customer approvals. On receipt of approvals, the gradual scaling up of the production capacities will take place in line with the commercial orders.

However, in respect of the second expansion phase of ` 255 Crores, the progress of the same is on schedule and it is expected that the plants would be commissioned by 3[rd] quarter of 2019-20. The Management expects the samples to be approved in respect of these plants around March 2020. In view of the company’s current liquidity position and the likely business scenario in the upcoming financial year, the board is confident that the said Capital Expenditure will be financed through internal accruals.

Finance Rating

During the second consecutive year under review, in view of optimum utilization of resources, the Company generated cash profits and did not utilize any working capital facilities for the whole year. The Company as a result, incurred lower Finance cost for the year under review. In addition, the Company has repaid the residual term loan of ` 5 Crores and thus has become debt free.

The Credit Ratings Agency CARE has reaffirmed ratings as CARE AA (Double A) (Stable) for long term Bank Facilities (Terms loan as well as Fund Based facilities) and CARE A1+ (A One plus) rating for short term Non-Fund Bank facilities.

The Company had also approached CRISIL Limited for review of its existing ratings, which had assigned CRISIL AA for its Fundbased Bank Facilities and CRISIL A1+ (stable) for its Non - Fundbased Bank Facilities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Economic Review

The long-term growth prospects for the Indian Economy continue to be vibrant and positive due to its young population, liberalised Government policies and strong welfare schemes for the upliftment of the poor. These initiatives have enabled India to become one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Very few large economies of the world are reporting GDP growth of more than 6.5%. It is expected that the short-term challenge of Indian Industrial growth (which is below 1%), shall be addressed since Industrial Growth is a key driver for employment generation.

The year under review witnessed volatility on several fronts. The US sanctions on Iran resulted in a sudden spurt in Crude oil prices during the first three quarters, with the price touching high of US $ 84 /barrel from base of $ 65/barrel at the beginning of the financial year. Since 80% of the Indian crude oil requirement is met through imports, the economy experienced serious fiscal repercussions and apprehensions on account of ballooning trade deficit and other economic factors. The Indian Rupee devalued from levels of 67 per USD to74.50 levels in a matter of a few months. Post deferral of Iran sanctions by six months, crude oil prices started coming down from Nov 2018 and stabilized in the range of $62-66/barrel, thus stabilizing the dollar exchange rate around `70/USD. The recent news on the withdrawal of waivers to select countries by the US Govt. has led to a surge in crude oil prices touching $ 75/ barrel. If implemented, the outcome is likely to affect rupee- dollar parity as was encountered during first half of the previous financial year.

The manufacturing sector in general which looked buoyant during the first half of the financial year, experienced a surprisingly recessionary situation for the second half of the year and this trend looks likely to spill over for the initial part of the next financial year. A large part of this slowdown can be attributed to the slowdown in global trade and the Chinese economy which recorded their lowest GDP growth during last 20- 25 years. Chinese outlook continues to be moderate. At the same time, growth prospects in EU economy look flattish. As a result, surplus capacities built during the economic buoyancy (particularly in China), will take some time to find commensurate demand.

Global growth is expected to be moderate about 2.9% in F.Y. 2019-20. Global financing conditions have tightened, industrial production has moderated, trade tensions remain elevated, and some large emerging market and developing economies have experienced significant financial market stress. Faced with these headwinds, the recovery in emerging market and developing economies has lost momentum.

Rubber Chemical Industry:

Global rubber consumption witnessed a growth of 2.4% for the calendar year 2018. Rubber chemicals demand essentially follow the trend of global rubber consumption.

Rubber Chemicals are used by manufacturers who process and convert Natural Rubber and / or Synthetic Rubber into finished products, like Tyres, Hoses, Footwear, Moulded Components for vehicles, Industrial Belts, Gloves, etc. Of these, the Tyre segment is clearly the single largest consuming segment for Rubber Chemicals.

The demand for automobiles was impacted due to higher fuel prices, interest rates and the NBFC crisis, in the second half of the year. Demand of Radial truck and bus tyres segment is a direct reflection of the overall economic situation. The tightening of environmental and compliance in China, which created some supply chain constraints in tyre industry in the previous year, partially got relaxed on account of US China trade war tensions and the slowdown in the Chinese auto sector. This segment has shown a marginal negative growth in terms of capacity utilization and this is likely to continue during early half of the next financial year before the positive impact of pre-buying comes in. However, the OEM sector business accounts for only 30% of total tyre business and replacement market continue to be healthy. OEM sales could have a positive impact due to introduction of BS VI auto emission standards from April 1,2020.

The major domestic non-tyre segment, namely the moulded & extruded goods segment, largely depends on the automobile sector. Thus, this segment is expected to move in line with the growth in respective OEM segments. The slowing down in the overall GDP growth rates, slowdown of OEM production and high interest rates affected this segment unfavourably.

Infrastructure sector continues to enjoy intense focus from Government for initiating policies that would ensure time bound implementation of laid down plans. Automobile and tyre sector growth are directly proportional to infrastructure growth and both sectors are optimistic in the medium term due to high emphasis by Government on building roads, ports, bridges network expeditiously. Growth of Automobile and tyre sector will seamlessly create potential markets for your company. While the automotive sector in the country recorded marginal growth, China also recorded negative growth of 6% for the year under review.

On the global business front, most markets faced volatile conditions. The situation continues to be challenging for the Financial Year 2019-20. During the second half of FY 2018-19, prices of major Rubber Chemicals inputs dropped sharply to lower levels on account of a drop in Crude oil prices and the Benzene crude oil price parity. As a result, the Benzene which started the year at US$ 1200 per MT sharply dropped to US$ 585 per MT. This sudden price decrease led to our input costs going down by 25% to 40% for certain raw materials. These decreases had to be passed down to the customers who were facing low demand issues themselves.

Finished goods prices too witnessed a sudden drop, exceeding the drop in raw material prices, due to combination of slowdown, US Chinese trade tensions and drop in corresponding input prices.

Most of these reductions have been reflected from second half of the year. Thankfully, due to your company’s wide range of products and through an optimum mix of inventory management and buying strategy, we could withstand this shock, and this partially impacted the profit margins during the second half of the year. In view of the recent news on chemical plant explosion, some corrections can be expected by the Chinese Government.

Industry Structure and Developments

The Rubber chemical industry witnessed a slowdown due to fall in the production of Automobile in China between August 2018 and March, 2019 coupled with problems of U.S. China trade war. The production cuts carried out by tyre customers across the globe also

46

impacted our sales volumes, more particularly in the second half of the year. The easing out of the Environmental compliance pressure at the Chinese end also impacted the operational performance of most players in the industry. Despite this, the Export business of the company registered a healthy growth since customers strategically supported sustainable supply from NOCIL over low pricing offered by China.

The recent news by ICRA on auto growth, (if prediction comes true) coupled with the expansion plans by global tyre majors augurs well for the Rubber Chemicals industry. China with its large capacity and numerous direct and indirect export subsidies supported by currency management, will continue to be the major supplier of Rubber Chemicals to the world. The HSE related improvements and the rising wage costs may to some extent diminish the unfair price advantage that they offer, and this would hopefully bridge some of the gaps in pricing. However, the possibility of sustained competition cannot be completely ruled out.

In view of the opportunities as mentioned above, your company has decided to significantly invest in capacity expansion programmes in three phases. The progress on the project has been mentioned in the Directors’ Report.

Business Outlook: Opportunities & Threats

Opportunities:

The Outlook for the Indian economy is likely to be healthy with most estimates predicting a good G.D.P. growth. Increased economic activity bodes well for transportation, leading to increased movements of commodities like coal, ores, fertilizers, cement etc. as also a host of other industrial consumer and agricultural goods. The Indian Tyre industry, being optimistic due to high GDP growth and massive investments planned in infrastructure sector, has planned substantial capacity expansions in the next few years. Your company expects to benefit due to these expansions.

Given the concentration of Rubber Chemicals capacity in China along with the associated uncertainties, there is some sense of discomfort amongst international tyre majors about overdependence on a single source country. In this context, NOCIL is not only seen as a dependable and quality supplier, but also a player that offers almost a complete range of rubber chemicals. Moreover, NOCIL’s strong R&D capabilities are considered a very important strength by these tyre majors.

By virtue of its long association with most international tyre majors, your company also enjoys a preferred-supplier status with their Indian operations. With increasing presence of these players in the Indian market, NOCIL stands to gain significant leverage as a domestic supplier to these plants as well. There are opportunities for expanding business in certain speciality chemicals and high value chemicals, where some customers are conducting advanced pre-commercial studies. This development augurs well for us. Your company is taking all the necessary steps for meeting these increased requirements.

Increasing automobile production, vehicle registration etc. in certain markets coupled with expansion plans announced by major customers have led to an increasing demand trend for our rubber chemicals. In line with the future trend of rubber growth, auto sector growth and tyre industry growth, the Board of Directors of your company had consented to expand in the field of rubber chemicals

in the previous year for an amount of ` 425 Crores. It is expected that the entire expansion will be commissioned by the calendar year 2019.

At the same time, we also continue to be selective in the choice of target customers and markets.

Threats:

The Rupee traded in the range of ` 67–74.50 per USD. The Company continued to mitigate the risk of this volatility by effecting payments towards our imports out of our Export Earnings in Foreign Currency and by taking adequate cover through forward/ option contracts.

To negate the impact of Anti-Dumping Duties, our competitors have for long been dumping their products in the Indian market at low prices. The possibility of competitors pursuing an irrational pricing approach cannot be ruled out. This may create pressure on our margins.

Sentiment-driven currency changes can also impact domestic prices and profitability.

The country is expecting a normal monsoon this year, any shortfall may lead to fall in the rural demand thereby unfavorably impacting some user segments.

Risks & Concerns:

Exchange-rate fluctuations, increase in prices of Crude Oil and down-stream petrochemicals, trade war between US and China, US Government sanction on eight economies etc. are all concern areas which your company may face from time to time. The antidumping duties on 6 products of the Company originating from China and Korea are scheduled to expire by end July 2019. Necessary applications for seeking extension with appropriate authorities / Courts have been filed. Any rejection of the same will have an impact on both domestic revenues as well as profitability.

Operating & Financial Performance for the Year

The Financial Statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The Company remains a zero-debt company. For expansion purpose, the entire funding will be through internal accruals. During the year CARE has reaffirmed ratings as CARE AA (Double A) (Stable) for long term Bank Facilities (Term loan as well as Fund Based facilities) and CARE A1+ (A One plus) rating for short term Non-Fund Based Bank facilities. The Company had also approached CRISIL Limited for review of its existing ratings, which had assigned CRISIL AA for its Fund-based Bank Facilities and CRISIL A1+ (stable) for its Non - Fund-based Bank Facilities.

The Company’s performance about the domestic sales volumes, remained flat for the year on account of auto slow down and production cuts experienced at domestic tyre industries. On the export business front, despite stiff competition, especially from China, your company successfully exported to strategic accounts with wide range of products and thus achieved a healthy growth. By a combination of a better product mix helped by speciality products and continual improvement in the efficiency of operations at all locations, the Company has managed to keep its operating

margins at reasonable levels for all the four quarters, although during second half the EBIDTA levels, dropped due to slowdown, falling prices and some legacy input costs on account of our inevitable coverage of 2- 3 months.

Summary of the financial performance of the Company is presented below:

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s

financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial

Statements

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 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:

• 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing 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.

• 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 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

Referred to in Paragraph 2(f)‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ in our Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of the Company on the Standalone Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013.

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of NOCIL LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2019,in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone 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 with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to 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 (the “Act” or the “Companies Act”).

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:

• 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

• 2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 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 with reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 knowledge and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has,in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

NOTE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

a) Corporate information

NOCIL Limited (the Company) having Company Identification No: L99999MH1961PLC012003 was incorporated on May 11, 1961, and is engaged in manufacture of rubber chemicals. The Company has manufacturing facilities at Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) and at Dahej (Gujarat). The products manufactured by the Company are used by the tyre industry and other rubber processing industries. The address of its registered office is Mafatlal House, H.T. Parekh Marg, Backbay Reclamation, Churchgate, Mumbai 400 020, Maharashtra, India.

b) Basis of preparation and presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis at the end of each reporting period except for:

• Certain financial Assets and Liabilities that are measured at fair value.

• Defined Benefit Plans that are measured at fair value.

• Share based payments – calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model.

The Generally Accepted Accounting principles in India comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended thereunder and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for proceeding and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as not exceeding 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2019 have been approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on May 10, 2019.

c) Functional and presentational currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (`), which is the Company’s functional and presentational currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.

d) Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the

application of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are as follows:

• Determination of the estimated useful lives of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalized (Note 2(a)).

• Determination of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets (Note 2(c)).

• Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment (Note 2(d)).

• Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations (Note 2(k) and Note 39).

• Fair valuation of employee share options (Note 2(l) and Note 38).

• Discounting of long-term financial liabilities.

• Fair value of financial instruments (Note 1(e)).

• Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies, key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources (Note 2(q)).

• Accruals of Sales incentives, Commission, etc.

e) Measurement of Fair value

The Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial instruments. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Management regularly reviews significant inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as Government approved valuers, broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

While measuring the fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices)or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

64

NOCIL LIMITED

==> picture [37 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

• Level 3 inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

f) Application of new and revised Ind AS’s

All the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs are effective and considered for the significant accounting policies to the extent relevant and applicable for the Company except for:

Ind AS 116 – Leases: This Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April, 2019, The Company is in the process of identifying such lease contracts which will impact the financial statements upon initial application of this standard. Management does not estimate the impact of the same to be significant.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are stated at cost of acquisition, including any attributable cost for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use less accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment, if any. Cost includes expenses related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets, borrowing cost during the construction period and excludes any duties / taxes recoverable.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of PPE outstanding at each reporting date is classified as Capital Advances under Other Non-Current Assets and assets which are not ready for intended use as on the date of balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital Work in Progress”.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring the assets to their present location and condition. 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.

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

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

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which they are incurred.

When significant identifiable parts of PPE are required to be replaced, the Company de-recognises the replaced parts and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and it is depreciated accordingly. In other cases, expenses are charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation is provided, under the Straight Line Method basis so as to write off the original cost of the asset less its estimated residual value over the estimated useful life. The Management’s estimate of useful lives is in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Assets costing ` 50,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

b) Investment Property

Land or Building held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of business is recognised as Investment Property. Investment Property are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Though, the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in Notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by a Government approved valuer.

Investment properties are de-recognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of de-recognition.

c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life. The useful life of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or infinite. Amortisation is recognised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed

65

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Estimated useful lives of finite intangible assets are as follows:

Patents 10 years

Software 3 years

Changes in the expected useful life are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which impairment takes place. Recoverable amount is higher of an assets net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, however subject to the increased carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior accounting periods.

Provision is made for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, whenever considered necessary by Management.

f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises cash on hand, bank balances and short term deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

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

g) Investment in Subsidiaries

Investment in Subsidiary entities is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiary entity the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

h) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to financial assets of one entity and financial liability or equity of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency foreign exchange forward contracts.

Financial Asset

Initial recognition:

Financial assets are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets:

Financial assets are subsequently classified and measured at:

• amortised cost

e) Inventories

Inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase (net of input credits), costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of stores and spares, raw materials, trading and other products is determined on weighted average basis. Cost of work-in-progress and finished stock is determined by the absorption costing method.

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

• fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)

• fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Trade Receivables and Loans:

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instruments.

66

NOCIL LIMITED

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

Debt Instruments:

Debt instruments are initially measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVTOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’) till de-recognition on the basis of

• the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and

• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Measured at amortised cost:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘Other Income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at Fair Value Through profit and Loss (FVTPL):

A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as ‘Other Income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments:

Investments in equity instruments at FVTPL:

Investments in equity instruments other than investments in subsidiaries are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for equity instruments which are not held for trading.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI:

On initial recognition, the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value

in other comprehensive income. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the reserve for ‘equity instruments through other comprehensive income’. The cumulative gain or loss is reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss on full disposal of the investments.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

For trade receivables, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

De-recognition of financial assets:

The Company de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is de-recognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at

67

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

the amortised cost unless at initial recognition, they are classified as fair value through profit and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Subsequent Measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR 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. The interest expenses using the effective interest method is recognised over the relevant period of the financial asset. The same is included under Finance cost in the Statement of profit and Loss unless it is capitalised as part of cost of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss immediately.

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

Offsetting of financial instruments

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

i) Foreign Exchange Transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional

currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

j) Revenue recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the company has applied Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognized. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue. The impact of the adoption of the standard on the financial statements of the Company is insignificant.

Revenue from sale of products is recognised when the products are dispatched to customers, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably expected. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of customer returns, trade allowance, rebates, goods and services tax and amount collected on behalf of third parties.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with normal credit days consistent with market practice.

Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established.

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. Interest income is included in other income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

k) Employee benefits

Short-term Employee Benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, performance incentives, etc., are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this

68

NOCIL LIMITED

==> picture [37 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Post-Employment Benefits:

(a) Defined Contribution Plans

Payments made to a defined contribution plan such as Provident Fund, Family Pension and Superannuation scheme are charged as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they fall due.

(b) Defined Benefit Plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, after discounting the same. The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, comprises actuarial gains and losses which are recognized immediately in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Net interest expense/ (income) on the net defined liability/ (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate used to measure the net defined liability/ (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(c) Other Long-Term Employee Benefits

The Company’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurement are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

l) Equity Share-Based Payments

Employees of the Company also receive remuneration in the form of share based payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the awards given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expenses’ with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated on the basis of the Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the non-market vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Company issues fresh equity shares.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, an additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

m) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments under operating leases is generally recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, unless where the lease rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.

n) 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 added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

o) Taxes on Income

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the deferred tax during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax

Current tax is measured at the amount of tax expected to be payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act,1961 that have been enacted or subsequently enacted at the end of the reporting period.

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 assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

noteS to financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019

be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

p) Government Grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. The Company accounts for its entitlement as income on accrual basis.

q) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

A contingent asset is not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.

Provisions, contingent assets, contingent liabilities and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

r) Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is 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.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, except where the results are antidilutive.

s) Dividend

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors

t) Segment Reporting

The Company is considered to be a single segment company – engaged in the manufacture of rubber chemicals. As per Ind AS-108 ‘Operating Segments’, if a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent that is within the scope of Ind AS-108 as well as the parent’s separate financial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, information required to be presented under Ind AS-108 Operating Segments has been given in the consolidated financial statements.

Each employee share option converts into one equity share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. These options vest 25% every year (‘graded vesting’). The options granted can be exercised at any time until completion of ten years from the date of grant, subject to the vesting schedule. Any options remaining unexercised at the end of the exercise period shall lapse.

The number of options granted is calculated in accordance with the performance-based formula approved by the shareholders at a previous annual general meeting and is subject to approval by the nomination and remuneration committee.

The share-based payments to employees being equity-settled are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest with a corresponding increase in equity.

Share options outstanding at the end of the year have the following expiry dates, exercise prices and fair values:

Fair value of share options granted in the year:

The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is 46.27 (Previous year: 69.28). Options were priced using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, expected volatility, option’s life, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

----- End of picture text -----

Basis of assumptions:

1. The risk free interest rates are determined based on the zero-coupon sovereign bond yields with maturity equal to the expected term of the option.

2. The expected volatility was determined based on the volatility of the equity share for the period of one year prior to the issue of options. Volatility calculation is based on historical stock prices using standard deviation of daily change in stock price. The historical period is taken into account to match the expected life of the option.

3. Dividend yield has been calculated taking into account expected rate of dividend on equity share price as on grant date.

H Sensitivity Analysis

The Sensitivity Analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the listed assumptions in isolation. While each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation presented above. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in the preparation of the Sensitivity Analysis from previous year.

41.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk assessment and analyses forex exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Company’s - Risk Management Policy approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed on a continuous basis. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

41.4 Market risk

Market risk comprises of Currency risk, Interest rate risk and other price risk. The Company enters into a board approved list of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including but not limited to foreign currency forwards and currency options.

41.5 Foreign currency risk management

41.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis in relation to the net foreign exchange exposure as at the balance sheet date

The Company is mainly exposed to the foreign exchange fluctuation in USD.

The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Indian Rupee against USD. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on receivables and payables in the company at the end of the reporting period.The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in the profit or equity where the Indian Rupee weakens 5% against the relevant currency due to positive net Financial Assets at the end of the current period . For a 5% strengthening of the Rupee against the relevant currency , there would be a comparable reverse impact on the profit or equity.

5% weakening against US Dollar 198 8
----- End of picture text -----

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.

41.5.2 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into foreign currency options and forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency receivables and payables. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques based on information derived from observable market data.

There are no derivative financial instruments outstanding at the end of the current and previous reporting year.

41.6 Interest rate risk management

The Company does not have interest rate risk exposure as there are no outstanding loans as at the year end.

41.7 Other price risks

The Company is exposed to price risks arising from mutual funds and equity investments other than investments in subsidiary.

Equity price risk is related to change in market reference price of investments in equity securities held by the Company. The fair value of quoted investments held by the Company exposes the Company to equity price risks. In general, these investments are not held for trading purposes.

NOCIL LIMITED

noteS to the Standalone financial StateMentS for the year ended March 31, 2019 (contd..)

The Company manages the surplus funds majorly through combination of investments in debt based / artibrage/equity oriented mutual fund schemes and fixed deposits. The price of investment in these mutual funds is the Net Asset Value (NAV) declared by the Asset Management Company on daily basis as reflected by the movement in the NAV of invested schemes. The Company is exposed to price risk on such Investment schemes.

Mutual fund investments are susceptible to market price risk, mainly arising from changes in the interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, due to the very short tenor of the underlying portfolio in the liquid schemes, these do not hold any significant price risks.

41.7.1 Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 5% higher / lower, the other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2019 would increase/ decrease by 112 Lakhs (2017-2018: increase / decrease by 260 Lakhs) as a result of the changes in fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI.

41.7.2 Mutual fund price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on Mutual Fund Investment at the end of the reporting period. If NAV has been 1% higher / lower, the profit for year ended March 31, 2019 would increase / decrease by 75 lakhs (2017-2018: increase/ decrease by 219 lakhs) as a result of the changes in fair value of mutual funds.

41.8 Credit risk management

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers and other counter parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such information.

For trade and other receivables, credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivables using independent ratings where available or by assessment of the customer’s credit quality based on its financial position, past experience and other factors. The maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the above at the reporting date is the carrying value of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material, hence no additional provision considered.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across the world comprising primarily manufacturers and dealers. The average credit period on sales of goods is 60 days. The Company’s trade and other receivables consists of a large number of customers, hence the Company is not exposed to concentration risk.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables as of the reporting date is as follows:

41.9 Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as and when required. The Treasury Risk Management Policy includes an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the short-term, medium-term and long term funding and cash management requirements. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company invests its surplus funds mainly in bank fixed deposit and mutual funds which carry no / negligible mark to market risks.

41.9.1 Liquidity risk table

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables include principal cash flows along with interest. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

Some of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).

Note : These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium or long-term strategic purpose. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Company has chosen to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as the Management believe that this provides a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategic investments, than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the period.

We also performed suffcient tests of details as part of our audit. We tested the Group’s controls around access and change management related to key IT systems through our Information Technology specialist.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s

Report Thereon

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Director’s Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Other information so far as it relates to the subsidiaries, is traced from their financial statements audited by the other auditor.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in term of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013, that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated

Financial Statements

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

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing 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.

99

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

• Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the Holding Company included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditor, for the other subsidiary company included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditor remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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 Consolidated 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.

Other matters

We did not audit the financial statements of one subsidiary included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, whose financial statements reflect the Group’s share of total assets of 3,948 Lakhs as at March 31, 2019, as well as Group’s share of total revenue of 45 Lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to ` 64 Lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

These financial statements have been audited by other auditor whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this subsidiary and our report in terms of sub-section (3) and (11) of the Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiary, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

ANNExURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Referred to in Para (f) ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ in our Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of the Company on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of NOCIL Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Holding Company”), and its subsidiary company, as of March 31, 2019, in conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary company, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company and its subsidiary company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (“the Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act” or “the Companies Act”).

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiary company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness.

Our audit of internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by other auditor of the subsidiary company in terms of their report referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements of the Holding Company and its subsidiary.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:

• 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

• 2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 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

• 3) 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to financial statements 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 Holding Company and its Subsidiary Company, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Holding Company and its Subsidiary Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Other Matter

Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in so far as it relates to one subsidiary company is based on the corresponding report of the auditor of such company.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

NOTE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

a) Corporate information

• NOCIL Limited (the Company) having Company Identification No: L99999MH1961PLC012003 was incorporated on May 11, 1961 and is engaged in manufacture of rubber chemicals. The Company has manufacturing facilities at Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra) and at Dahej (Gujarat). The products manufactured by the Company are used by the tyre industry and other rubber processing industries. The address of its registered office is Mafatlal House, H.T. Parekh Marg, Backbay Reclamation, Churchgate, Mumbai 400 020, Maharashtra, India.

The following wholly owned subsidiary company is included in the consolidation

consolidation
Name	Country of Incorporation	Nature of business
PIL Chemicals Limited	India	Processing of rubber chemical products

b) Basis of preparation and presentation

The Consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in India under the historical cost convention on accrual basis at the end of each reporting period except for:

• Certain financial Assets and Liabilities that are measured at fair value.

• Defined Benefit Plans that are measured at fair value.

• Share based payments – calculated using the Black and Scholes option pricing model.

The Generally Accepted Accounting principles in India comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended thereunder and other relevant provisions of the Act.

The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis. The accounting policies are applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Groups’s normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Division II of Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products and the time between acquisition of assets for proceeding and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Group has ascertained its operating cycle not exceeding 12 months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities.

The Consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2019 have been approved for issue in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on May 10, 2019.

c) Functional and presentational currency

The Consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (`), which is the Groups’s functional and presentation currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest lakhs, unless otherwise indicated.

d) Principles of consolidation

• i. Subsidiaries

• Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investees).

• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

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

• The Contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,

• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements,

• The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

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

  • A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

  • If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liability, non-controlling interest and other components of equity while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in statement of profit and loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

  • Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries as shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of change in equity and balance sheet respectively.

• ii. The consolidated financial statements relate to NOCIL Limited, the Holding Company and its subsidiary. The consolidation of accounts of the Company with its subsidiary (collectively known as “Group”) has been prepared in accordance with (Ind AS) 110 - Consolidated Financial Statements. The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary are combined on a line by line basis and intra group balances, intra group transactions and unrealized profits or losses are fully eliminated.

106

• iii. The consolidated financial statements are prepared by adopting uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the parent company’s separate financial statements unless stated otherwise.

• iv. The Audited financial statements of the subsidiary used in the consolidation are drawn up to the same reporting date as of the Holding Company i.e. up to March 31, 2019.

• e) Key estimates and assumptions

The preparation of Consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Continuous evaluation is done on the estimation and judgments based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are as follows:

• Determination of the estimated useful lives of tangible assets and the assessment as to which components of the cost may be capitalized (Note 2(a)).

• Determination of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets (Note 2(c)).

• Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment (Note 2(d)).

• Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations (Note 2(j) and Note 39).

• Fair valuation of employee share options (Note 2(k) and Note 37).

• Discounting of long-term financial liabilities

• Fair value of financial instruments (Note 1(f)).

• Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies, key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources; (Note 2(p)).

• Accruals of Sales incentives, Commission, etc.

f) Measurement of Fair value

The Group’s Consolidated accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for financial instruments. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Management regularly reviews significant inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as Government approved valuer, broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of Ind AS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

While measuring the fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

==> picture [37 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

NOCIL LIMITED

• Level 3 inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

• If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occured.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

• a) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are stated at cost of acquisition, including any attributable cost for bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use less accumulated depreciation and less accumulated impairment, if any. Cost includes expenses related to acquisition and installation of the concerned assets, borrowing cost during the construction period and excludes any duties / taxes recoverable.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of PPE outstanding at each reporting date is classified as Capital Advances under Other Non-Current Assets and assets which are not ready for intended use as on the date of balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital Work in Progress”.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring the assets to their present location and condition. 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.

An item of property, plant and equipment is de-recognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

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

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the items will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which they are incurred.

When significant identifiable parts of PPE are required to be replaced, the Group de-recognises the replaced parts and recognises the new part with its own associated useful life and it is depreciated accordingly. In other cases, expenses are charged off to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Depreciation is provided, under the Straight Line Method basis so as to write off the original cost of the asset less its estimated residual value over the estimated useful life. The Management’s estimate of useful lives is in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Assets costing ` 50,000 or less are fully depreciated in the year of purchase. Leasehold land is amortised on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

b) Investment Property

Land or Building held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of business is recognised as Investment Property. Investment Property are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any.

Though, the Group measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of investment property is disclosed in Notes. Fair values are determined based on an annual evaluation performed by a Government approved valuer.

Investment properties are de-recognised either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period of de-recognition.

c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life. The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or infinite. 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 on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of finite intangible assets are as follows:

Patents 10 years Software 3 years

Changes in the expected useful life are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognized.

d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which impairment takes place. Recoverable amount is higher of an assets net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an assets and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, however subject to the increased carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior accounting periods.

e) Inventories

Inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase (net of input credits), costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of stores and spares, raw materials, trading and other products is determined on weighted average basis. Cost of workin-progress and finished stock is determined by the absorption costing method.

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

Provision is made for cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, whenever considered necessary by Management.

f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprises cash on hand, bank balances and short term deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

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

g) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to financial assets of one entity and financial liability or equity of another entity. Financial instruments also include derivative contracts such as foreign currency foreign exchange forward contracts.

Financial assets are recognised when a Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets:

Financial assets are subsequently classified and measured at:

• amortised cost

• fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL)

• fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Trade Receivables and Loans:

Trade Receivables are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, these assets are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method net of any expected credit losses. The EIR is the rate that discounts estimated future cash income through the expected life of financial instruments.

Debt Instruments:

Debt instruments are initially measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through profit or loss (‘FVTPL’) till de-recognition on the basis of

• the Groups’s business model for managing the financial assets and

108

NOCIL LIMITED

==> picture [37 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

• the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Measured at amortised cost:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any. The amortisation of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘Other Income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):

A financial asset not classified as either amortised cost or FVTOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised as ‘Other Income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity Instruments:

Investments in equity instruments at FVTPL:

Investments in equity instruments other than investments in subsidiaries are classified as at FVTPL, unless the Group irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for equity instruments which are not held for trading.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI:

On initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading. These elected investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the reserve for ‘equity instruments through other comprehensive income’. The cumulative gain or loss is reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss on full disposal of the investments.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, lease receivables, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset.

For trade receivables, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Further, for the purpose of measuring lifetime expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables, the Group has used a practical expedient as permitted under Ind AS 109. This expected credit loss allowance is computed based on a provision matrix which takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information.

De-recognition of financial assets:

The Group de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the asset.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is de-recognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognised if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group 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 and loss. In case of trade payables, they are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently, these liabilities are held at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Subsequent Measurement

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss is measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The interest expenses using the effective interest method is recognised over the relevant period of the financial asset. The same is included under Finance cost in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless it is capitalised as part of cost of an item of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of the new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

109

AnnuAl RepoRt 2018-19

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss immediately.

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

Offsetting of financial instruments

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

h) Foreign Exchange Transactions

In preparing the Consolidated financial statements of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

i) Revenue recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the Group has applied Ind AS 115 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognized. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue. The impact of the adoption of the standard on the financial statements of the Group is insignificant.

Revenue from sale of products is recognised when the products are dispatched to customers, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably expected. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of customer returns, trade allowance, rebates, goods and services tax and amount collected on behalf of third parties.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and returns. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with normal credit days consistent with market practice.

Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment has been established.

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial assets. Interest income is included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

j) Employee benefits

Short-term Employee Benefits:

All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, performance incentives, etc., are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the employee renders the related service. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Post-Employment Benefits:

(a) Defined Contribution Plans

Payments made to a defined contribution plan such as Provident Fund, Family Pension and Superannuation scheme are charged as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss as they fall due.

(b) Defined Benefit Plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, after discounting the same. The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit method. Re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability, comprise actuarial gains and losses which are recognized immediately in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). Net interest expense/ (income) on the net defined liability/ (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability / (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss. When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(c) Other Long-Term Employee Benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurement are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

k) Equity Share-Based Payments

Employees of the Group also receive remuneration in the form of share based payments in consideration of the services rendered.

Under the equity settled share based payment, the fair value on the grant date of the awards given to employees is recognised as ‘employee benefit expenses’ with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated on the basis of the Black Scholes model. At the end of each reporting period, apart from the nonmarket vesting condition, the expense is reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes to the level of options expected to vest. When the options are exercised, the Group issues fresh equity shares.When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, an additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

l) Leases

• Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases is generally recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, unless where the lease rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor’s expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue.

m) 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 added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

n) Taxes on Income

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the deferred tax during the year. Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax

Current tax is measured at the amount of tax expected to be payable on the taxable income for the year and any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 that have been enacted or subsequently enacted at the end of the reporting period.

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 assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

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

o) Government Grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. The Group accounts for its entitlement as income on accrual basis.

p) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. The expenses relating to a provision is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

A contingent asset is not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.

Provisions, contingent assets, contingent liabilities and commitments are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

q) Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is 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.

Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, except where the results are anti-dilutive.

r) Dividend

The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Group’s Board of Directors.

s) Segment Reporting

The Group is considered to be a single segment group – engaged in the manufacture of rubber chemicals. As per Ind AS-108 ‘Operating Segments’, if a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent that is within the scope of Ind AS-108 as well as the parent’s separate financial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, information required to be presented under Ind AS-108 Operating Segments has been given in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 37 : SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

37.1 Details of the employee share option plan of the Company

The Group has constituted an Employee Stock Option Plan 2007, as approved by shareholders at a previous annual general meeting. The scheme is applicable to all permanent and full-time employees, excluding the employees who are the promoters of the Group. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee, at its sole discretion, shall decide who among those employees shall receive Employee Stock Options in a particular grant.

Each employee share option converts into one equity share of the Group company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. These options vest 25% every year (‘graded vesting’). The options granted can be exercised at any time until completion of ten years from the date of grant, subject to the vesting schedule. Any options remaining unexercised at the end of the exercise period shall lapse.

The number of options granted is calculated in accordance with the performance-based formula approved by the shareholders at a previous annual general meeting and is subject to approval by the nomination and remuneration committee.

The share-based payments to employees being equity-settled are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest with a corresponding increase in equity.

Share options outstanding at the end of the year have the following expiry dates, exercise prices and fair value:

Fair value of share options granted in the year:

The weighted average fair value of the share options granted during the financial year is 46.27 (Previous year: 69.28). Options were priced using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, expected volatility, option’s life, the share price at grant date, expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

notes ForMinG Part oF Consolidated FinanCial stateMents For the Year ended MarCh 31, 2019 (Contd...)

Basis of assumptions:

1. The risk free interest rates are determined based on the zero-coupon sovereign bond yields with maturity equal to the expected term of the option.

2. The expected volatility was determined based on the volatility of the equity share for the period of one year prior to the issue of options. Volatility calculation is based on historical stock prices using standard deviation of daily change in stock price. The historical period is taken into account to match the expected life of the option.

3. Dividend yield has been calculated taking into account expected rate of dividend on equity share price as on grant date.

NOTE 39 : EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

1) Defined contribution plans :

The Group participates in a number of defined contribution plans on behalf of relevant personnel. Any expense recognised in relation to these schemes represents the value of contributions payable during the period by the Group at rates specified by the rules of those plans. The only amounts included in the balance sheet are those relating to the prior months contributions that were not due to be paid until after the end of the reporting period.

The major defined contribution plans operated by the Group are as below:

a) Provident fund and Pension

In accordance with the Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, eligible employees of the Group are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, a defined contribution plan, in which both employees and the Group make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees’ salary. The contributions, as specified under the law, are made to the provident fund administered and managed by Government of India. The Group has no further obligations under the fund managed by the GOI beyond its monthly contributions which are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred. The benefits are paid to employees on their retirement or resignation from the Group.

b) Superannuation fund

The Group holds two in-house superannuation funds which appropriates funds to Life Insurance Corporation of India (the insurer) at the time of retirement/resignation of employee. The pension annuity is met by the Insurer as required, taking into consideration the contributions made. The Group has no further obligations under the scheme beyond its monthly contributions which are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Contribution to Defined Contribution Plans, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year under employee benefits expense, are as under :

( ` in Lakhs)

Particulars	Year ended March 31, 2019	Year ended March 31, 2018
i) Employer's Contribution to Provident Fund and Pension	231	218
ii) Employer's Contribution to Superannuation Fund	59	61
Total	290	279

2) Defined Benefit Plans:

a) Gratuity (Funded)

The Group has an obligation towards gratuity, a funded defined benefit retirement plan covering all employees. The plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of the employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary, as applicable, payable for each completed year of service. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Group makes annual contributions to gratuity funds established by various in-house funds managed by NOCIL Employees Trust Funds as disclosed in related party transaction (Refer Note 40). The Group accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation using Projected Unit Credit method determined in accordance with the terms of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

b) Gratuity (Unfunded)

The Group has an obligation towards gratuity, an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees. The plan provides for lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death while in employment or on termination of the employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days salary, as applicable, payable for each completed year of service, without any payment ceiling. Vesting occurs upon completion of five years of service. The Group accounts for the liability for gratuity benefits payable in the future based on an actuarial valuation.

The most recent actuarial valuation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation was carried out on March 31, 2019 by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

H. Sensitivity Analysis

The Sensitivity Analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible change of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. These sensitivities show the hypothetical impact of a change in each of the listed assumptions in isolation. While each of these sensitivities holds all other assumptions constant, in practice such assumptions rarely change in isolation and the asset value changes may offset the impact to some extent. For presenting the sensitivities, the present value of the Defined Benefit Obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the Defined Benefit Obligation presented above. There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in the preparation of the Sensitivity Analysis from previous year.

41.3 Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk assessment and analyses forex exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s Risk Management Policy approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed on a continuous basis. The Group does not enter into or trade in financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

41.4 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 Currency risk, Interest rate risk and other price risk. The Group enters into a board approved list of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including but not limited to foreign currency forwards and currency options.

41.5 Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arises. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising appropriate derivative instruments.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

41.5.1 Foreign currency sensitivity analysis in relation to the net foreign exchange exposure as at the balance sheet date

The Group is mainly exposed to the foreign exchange fluctuation in USD.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the Indian Rupee against USD. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. This is mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on receivables and payables in the Group at the end of the reporting period. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in the profit or equity where the Indian Rupee weakens 5% against the relevant currency due to positive net Financial Assets at the end of the current period. For a 5% strengthening of the Rupee against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable reverse impact on the profit or equity.

----- End of picture text -----

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.

41.5.2 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group has entered into foreign currency options and forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency receivables and payables. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques based on information derived from observable market data.

There are no derivative financial instruments outstanding at the end of the current and previous reporting year.

41.6 Interest rate risk management

The Group does not have interest rate risk exposure as there are no outstanding loans as at the year end.

41.7 Other price risks

The Group is exposed to price risks arising from mutual funds and equity investments other than investments in subsidiary.

Equity price risk is related to change in market reference price of investments in equity securities held by the Group. The fair value of quoted investments held by the Group exposes the Group to equity price risks. In general, these investments are not held for trading purposes.

The Group manages the surplus funds majorly through combination of investments in debt based / arbitrage / equity oriented mutual fund schemes and fixed deposits. The price of investment in these mutual funds is the Net Asset Value (NAV) declared by the Asset Management Company on daily basis as reflected by the movement in the NAV of invested schemes. The Group is exposed to price risk on such Investment schemes.

Mutual fund investments are susceptible to market price risk, mainly arising from changes in the interest rates or market yields which may impact the return and value of such investments. However, due to the very short tenor of the underlying portfolio in the liquid schemes, these do not hold any significant price risks.

41.7.1 Equity price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 5% higher / lower, the other comprehensive income for the year ended March 31, 2019 would increase / decrease by 113 Lakhs (2017-18: 260 Lakhs) as a result of the changes in fair value of equity investments measured at FVTOCI.

41.7.2 Mutual fund price sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on Mutual Fund Investment at the end of the reporting period. If NAV had been 1% higher / lower, the profit for year ended March 31, 2019 would increase / decrease by 79 lakhs (2017-18: 224 lakhs) as a result of the changes in fair value of mutual funds.

41.8 Credit risk management

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Group periodically assesses financial reliability of customers and other counter parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such information.

For trade and other receivables, credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivables using independent ratings where available or by assessment of the customer’s credit quality based on its financial position, past experience and other factors. The maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the above at the reporting date is the carrying value of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for losses. Based on the historical data since loss on collection of receivable is not material, no additional provision is considered.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across the country comprising primarily dealers and manufacturers.

The average credit period on sales of goods is 60 days. The Group’s trade and other receivables consists of a large number of customers, hence the Group is not exposed to concentration risk.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables as of the reporting date is as follows:

41.9 Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity and ensure that funds are available for use as and when required. The Treasury Risk Management Policy includes an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the short-term, medium-term and long term funding and cash management requirements. The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group invests its surplus funds mainly in bank fixed deposit and mutual funds which carry no / negligible mark to market risks.

41.9.1 Liquidity risk table

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table include principal cash flows along with interest. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.

Note : These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium or long-term strategic purpose. Upon the application of Ind AS 109, the Group has chosen to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as the Management believes that this provides a more meaningful presentation for medium or long-term strategic investments than reflecting changes in fair value immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 in the period.

42.2 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosures are

required)

Except as detailed in the following table, the Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial instruments recognised in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
