Resilience to sustain through headwinds ensures a successful & thriving business

I would like to begin my message by thanking you for your unwavering support to our Company even in the times when the overall global economy is facing an unprecedented challenging scenario resulting in massive disruption in the industrial growth. The commitment and passion of our employees along with diverse product offerings has helped our Company stay strong and resilient during this period, against the backdrop of immense volatility in our key markets across the spectrum. Admist these challenges our Company has always remained focused on its goals and have been generating value to its stake holders both by organic and in-organic growth . Financial PerformanceManaging Director's Message

The financial year 2019-2020 saw many events like the US- China trade war at the start of the year, the slowdown in the consumption of the domestic economy and a major event in the last quarter of the year being the spread of the COVID-19 virus all across the world resulting in shutting down of manufacturing activities amid lockdown decisions taken by various authorities to prevent the spread of this deadly virus.

Although in the first nine months of the financial year we had been on track with our estimates, the last quarter which supposed to be the biggest quarter of the financial year witnessed a substantial setback with the economic slowdown combined with the lockdown in our country and across the world. However, we have been using this time effectively planning, fine tuning, re-examining our set goals, constraints and focussing on building a contingency fund for any future crises. Also, to add that the operations at all our factories have started in a phased manner during May and June with all the requisite safety protocols being adhered to in a stringent manner. Since almost all our workforces are local residents, we don't face any issues in

running factory operations during this Pandemic Period. Our employees are working from home wherever possible and the workforce required in the factory are given necessary connectivity to and from workplace with all necessary safety measures in place at all times.

We are being resilient and working on the plans in order to be future ready which will help us grab the opportunities going forward. We also have been looking at how we can do business better & smarter as many things will change post the lifting of complete lockdown. Our focus has always been on driving sustainable growth and increasing efficiencies across all our business with a clear target of improving our returns on capital employed.

As a result of the nation-wide lockdown declared in March 2020, the net sales in the fourth quarter and of the year were lower than the same period last year. Due to the eight days lockdown in March 2020, we have lost revenues to the tune of approx. Rs 18- 20 cr across all business divisions.

During the year, our Company registered a revenue growth of 1.28% Y-o-Y to Rs. 567 crores from Rs. 560 crores in FY19. Our EBITDA i.e Operating Profit was at Rs. 65.2 crores as against Rs. 63.6 crore in FY19 representing a growth of 2.4%% Y-o-Y. Profit after tax was at Rs. 26.4 crore during the year as compared to Rs. 24.0 crore in FY19, a YoY growth of 10.2%.

This growth was mainly driven by increased contribution from our key business division of Industrial Switchgear which contributed 45% in the full year led by increase in exports to Europe and US markets.

The wires and cables division contributed 47% towards the yearly revenues. Also, during the year, we have successfully commissioned the LAN Cable plant and trial production have started. We have submitted samples to customer for approval and for third party testing. So far, we have seen good enquiries coming from both local and export markets. We expect the revenues to come from end of Second Quarter this current financial year.

Our Building product division, the only B2C business division, contributed 6% towards the revenue. During the financial year the real estate market has been on a slower side and we are yet to see a pickup in demand that has impacted the overall industry. We hope that this changes in the coming quarters with the proactive measures of the Government and will help us to increase our contribution from this division in our overall revenue.

The fourth is the Energy Management division contributing 2% in FY20. This is an order book driven business and revenues have been driven from Annual maintenance contracts.

The Consolidated revenue of our Company and Subsidiary Company Kaycee Industries Ltd for the financial year 2020 was Rs. 584.4 crores with EBITDA & PAT i.e Profit after Tax of Rs. 66.8 crore & Rs. 27.4 crore, respectively.

Value Creation

Salzer has successfully crossed multiple technology cycles over the last three decades, pivoting and adapting each time to build new capabilities and help our clients realize the benefits of these new technologies. Our responsiveness, agility, and adaptability to change have been core to our endurance.

At a time when the world is wrestling with problems like COVID 19 and slowdown in the economic activities, we at Salzer have taken this time to focus on our internal strengths and formulate strategies that will tide us through these headwinds. Though in this fluid and uncertain environment it is extremely difficult to predict and give FY21 targets, but our internal targets will be to maintain the FY20 performance. Our team of capable engineers working in the R&D department along with the investments made are helping us create customised solutions for our customers and stay connected. Sustainability, for us, has always been the entrepreneurial pursuit of economic opportunities while aligning the interests of the organization with all of our stakeholders. Also the biggest positive seen is that people are going to become more efficient with out of the box thinking, improvement in productivity which will help us in reducing our costs in the long run.

The opportunities ahead are huge. By staying true to our mission and values, and by continually investing in building newer capabilities, we are well in a position to become the preferred partner of choice for enterprises in their growth and transformation journeys.

Furthermore, I would like to share with you all that, during the financial year we have completed the acquisition of Kaycee Industries Limited, a pre independence Company with a legacy of over 75 years. This acquisition will boost our Company to further strengthen our market share in the industrial switchgear business and reach into newer geographies and products thereby helping us to stay on our long term goal of creating sustainable & long term value for our shareholder.

Looking Forward

The current global scenario is leading to large Companies looking for other options for their manufacturing activities and supply related goods. In this India is seen as the most favoured nation by most of the Companies for their requirements. The current government has taken major steps under its recently announced Atmanirbhar Bharat Mission aiming to make India a self-Reliant under five pillars focussing on Economy, Infrastructure, System, Vibrant Demography and Demand which will help boost domestic manufacturing as a Vocal for Local and thereby increase contribution of export form India.

We at Salzer are excited about these opportunities that the industry has to offer going forward. We have also received lot of enquires for our products and have supplied them for testing and are hopeful that these get converted into orders in the near future enabling us to increase our revenues and profitability and utilizing our capacities more efficiently.

I am proud to have a motivated team of people who are resolved to perform better and are looking to seize every business opportunity that will create sustainable & profitable growth. Together, we will continue to focus on growing our business, improving our working capital cycle & efficiencies leading to a higher return on capital employed. Our united aim is not just to drive sustainable growth, but also to create value through efficiency and innovation.

I would like to thank our employees for their untiring efforts, the Board for their guidance and all other stakeholders for their consistent support and encouragement in all our endeavours. We continue to look forward to your guidance and support, motivating us to reach newer heights and aim higher!

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussions on our financial condition and result of operations should be read together with our audited standalone and consolidated financial statements and the notes to these statements included in the annual report. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references herein to "we", "us", "our", "the Company", "Salzer" are to Salzer Electronics Limited and its subsidiary.

Global Economic Overview

The global economy experienced a major slowdown in 2019, and recession fears became widespread towards the end of the year. It is argued that the risk of a larger downturnwhile not absentwill be contained, and the global economy will likely return to its slow, long-term growth trend of 2.7 percent sooner rather than later. Indeed as initial signs of an easing in the downturn in the industrial cycle emerged, a phase one trade-deal between the US and China is signed, and consumers continued to show strength based on rising wages and low inflation rates, recession fears have begun to ebb.

Unexpectedly, however, a new downside risk has emerged through the COVID-19 crisis in China. It is likely that this viral outbreak has severely hit China's economy during the first quarter of 2020. Under the assumption that the number of new cases will subside in the first quarter of financial year 2021, it is expected to rebound in subsequent months. However, as China's economy is on a much slower growth path than in 2003 at the time of the SARS outbreak, it is expected that the rebound to be more modest as well. As a result, it is estimated that annual growth rate for China's economy for all of 2020 is downwards from 3.4 percent to 2.8 percent.

The global economic impact of COVID-19 is almost certainly going to be greater than that of the SARS epidemic in 2002/2003, which also started in China. First of all, the share of the Chinese economy in the total global economy is currently 20%, much higher than it was in 2003 (9%, see figure 2).

Figure 2: China's share in the global economy has increased

Secondly, the Chinese economy is now much more closely interlinked with the rest of the world than it was 10 to 20 years ago. For many countries, China is now (i) an important export market, (ii) a source of tourism and (iii) a supplier of intermediate good. Over the years, the value chains of international business have become increasingly fragmented and spread across the world, and China has become the world's factory. For example, a major proportion of all consumer electronics (mobile phones and laptops) is now made in China, as are the batteries for many electric cars and the raw material for certain medicine.

Under the "rapid containment" scenario the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on global GDP growth is quite modestalthough bigger in Asia than elsewhereand would still keep 2020 growth at 2.4 percent, slightly above of the 2019 estimate of 2.3 percent. Industrial production is likely to come back into positive territory, and businesses will continue to leverage innovation and digital transformation to grow top-line revenue and reduce costs to avoid a major squeeze on profits. The contribution of trade to global growth will continue to be a challenge, obviously exacerbated by the China crisis. In addition, businesses are shortening value chains by "trading up" and "going local." Productivity growth is critical to make up for the slack of slower globalization and weaker growth of the global workforce in the years ahead.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

The Company faces the following Risks and Concerns:

Commodity risk:

A part of the business is substantially dependent on copper. Factors that could affect the copper business include rising copper prices. However, this increase in prices is passed on to the customer, and as the Company operates on a monthly average pricing mechanism, it does not expect to be significantly affected by this risk.

Competition Risk

This risk arising from more players wanting to be a part of this business. Like in most other industries, opportunity brings with itself competition. In each individual business division the Company faces different kinds of competition risk from both domestic manufacturers and bigger international companies. However, Salzer's strong reputation, its brand goodwill and ability to customize orders as per its customers, has differentiated the Company from its competition. Over the years, the Company has expanded its presence geographically and added more customers. It also offers total and customized electrical solutions to its customers. As a result, the Company has achieved a 'Preferred Supplier' status with GE and Schneider who source their products from Salzer on a global basis. The Company also has a substantial advantage over others due to the superior quality of infrastructure, customercentric approach and highly innovative approach. Thus, the Company does not expect to be significantly affected by this risk.

Regulatory Risk

If the Company is unable to obtain the required certifications and approvals for existing and new products, growth will be affected. However, the Company has all the necessary international certifications for existing products. Moreover, with the previous experience of obtaining the necessary certifications for new products, the Company does not expect this risk to affect it in the coming years.

Execution risk

The Company is planning to expand its product range as well as add technologically-advanced new products. The execution of the project is dependent on land purchase and project management skills. However, land acquisition is not a concern as the Company has a sufficient land-bank to increase capacity and support the addition of new products.

Concerns like unprecedented natural calamities, political/ social turmoil may remain. However, these threats are faced by the whole industry. With improved and efficient processes in place, the Company is wellpositioned for sustainable growth.

Forex risk

Given the volatile global economy and fluctuations in the foreign exchange market, the Company does face forex risk. In order to mitigate this, hedging tools have been adopted to arrest the negative impact. Importantly, Salzer has a natural hedge having both import and export at appropriate value and as the result, any volatility in the forex market does not have a significant material impact on the business.

OPPORTUNITIES

Ongoing investments across commercial and residential sector will complement the industry statistics - Rising space constraints along with ongoing investments in R&D sector for the enhancement of smart and compact control equipment will further complement the industry scenario. Continuous investments across commercial and residential establishments including public and private apartments, offices, and restaurants will further fuel the product demand. Moreover, ease-of-operation, longer product life cycle and enhanced equipment safety are the essential features which will accelerate the product adoption.

Growing inclination toward energy efficient systems will complement the industry outlook - Increasing demand for safe & reliable systems coupled with the increasing demand for HVDC systems across the T&D network will complement the demand DC switchgears. Expansion of extra high-tension transmission networks to cater to the growing energy demand across the manufacturing and industrial sector will further stimulate the product demand. In addition, rising fund allocation toward solar and offshore wind farms across developed and developing countries will further complement the switchgear market growth.

Ageing Equipment's in many Countries The installed base of switchgear in many countries either has exceeded or is nearing their recommended operational life. Such conditions provide good prospects for the replacement market. There are possibilities for switchgears to explode if at all they fail, causing potential damages to other equipment, facility and environment. This may involve liabilities such as compensation, environmental cleanup and legal action. Presently the nature of the load has changed to a large extent, mainly due to growth of electronic equipment that is being used. Therefore, in order to ensure high power quality, improved efficiency and to meet the load demand the existing aged switchgear should be replaced the new ones.

Increase in Electricity Generation The world electricity capacity is expected to grow over a period of time. There bas been a trend of increasing re-location of industrial activity from developed economies to emerging economies such as China, India, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Such a trend arises because of two reasons. Firstly, the low-cost advantage that the companies can derive out of shifting some of their operations in these countries. Secondly there has been a growing domestic demand in these emerging economies for increased industrial and commercial production. To meet the growing demand for more power, countries will require increased investments in electricity infrastructure. Such growth in the installed capacity would require additional infrastructure investments in switchgears. Additionally, the upgradation of transmission and distribution infrastructure to meet the federal and state level energy efficiency mandate is likely to boost the demand for switchgears. The impact of this driver is expected to be medium in the short term and high in the medium and long term over a period of time.

THREATS

  • Competition from local and multinational players
  • Execution risk
  • Regulatory changes
  • Raw Material Cost

HUMAN RESOURCES

The company has proper human resource and industry relations policies, which are reviewed periodically. The human resource team conducts various training sessions for employee development on an ongoing basis. These development programs are aimed at augmenting employee potential and represent an integral part of the overall business goals. Besides, employees profile represents a well balanced mix of experience and youth.

st As on March 31 , 2020, the Company had a workforce of 581 people on rolls.

Way Ahead

The demand of electricity is growing on a year-on-year basis, which will open new growth opportunities. Currently, 10 per cent of India's export market is contributed by transformers. With the introduction of the "Make in India" initiative, the share of transformers is set to grow in the near future. Several incentives have also been introduced for capacity addition in power generation, which are expected to significantly increase the demand for transformers and other electrical equipment in the coming years. With huge investments proposed across sectors such as power, infrastructure, etc., the transformers market in India is slated for strong growth. The excess capacity in the transformer industry in India, and entry of new players is further expected to increase market competitiveness. This is also expected to lead to market consolidation over the next few years.

The Company expects to capitalize on this opportunity. Besides, Company also focuses on having technical tie up's with globally renowned players to develop technically advanced products for its customers.

Salzer also works on sourcing global technologies to make products in India under the theme of 'Make in India' an initiative by the Government in making products locally. As a part of the Make in India story, Salzer enters into a tie-up with global firms, for importing technologies to make different products and commenced commercial production.

STANDALONE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (Contd.)

In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements.

A further description of the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements is included in Annexure "A". This description forms part of our auditor's report.

ANNEXURE "A"

TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR AUDIT OF STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism through- out the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS 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 controls 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.
  • C o n c l u d e o n t h e a p p r o p r i at e n e s s o f 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 standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements

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 standalone Ind AS 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my /our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial

ANNEXUR "C" (Contd.)

control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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 financial statements

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India

Memb.No. 028346

STANDALONE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

Significant Accounting Policies

Note No. 1

i. Corporate Information:

SalzerEelctronics Limited, incorporated in January 1985, for manufacture of Electrical Installation Products and Components viz., CAM Operated Rotary switches, Selector Switches, Wiring Ducts, Voltmeter Switches, copper wires and cables and allied products addressing customers in the electrical equipment, power, medical equipment, automotive as well as renewable and uninterrupted power system spaces, in a single and unified segment. The company is listed in Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited .

ii. Genera l Informat ion and Statement of Compliance with Ind AS:

These standalone financial statements ('financial statements') of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs ('MCA') under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Company has uniformly applied the accounting policies during the periods presented. .

These financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 were authorized and approved for issue by the Board of Directors on June 18, 2020

iii. Basis of Preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India.

The Financial Statements have been prepared and presented on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services as on the exchange date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes in to account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on the basis stated above. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

iv. Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require the management of the Company to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future period. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Application of accounting policies that require significant accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these

Financial statements have been disclosed separately under the heading "Significant accounting Judgements , estimates and assumption".

v. Current versus non-current classification

The entity presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current, when:

  • It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

  • It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current, when:

  • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

The entity classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

vi. Foreign currency transactions

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee which is also the functional and presentation currency of the Company. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest rupee.

(a) Initial recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

(b) Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or any other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.

(c) Forward Contract

Premium/ Discount in respect of Forward Contract are amortized as expense/income over the period of contract. Exchange differences arising on forward contracts between the exchange rate on the date of transaction and the exchange rate prevailing at the year end is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

vii. Covid-19 and its financial impact

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown enforced from 24th March 2020 have affected the Company's regular operations. Accordingly, the Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic on the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment, investments, inventories, receivables and other current assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the global economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financial results has used internal and external information which are relevant in determining the expected future performance of the Company. The Company has evaluated its liquidity position, recoverability of such assets, and based on current estimates expects the carrying amount of these assets will be recovered. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's financial results may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial results. Moreover, the Company has a practice of providing requisite provisions in the Financial Statements in line with the Accounting Standards for the expected credit loss on the carrying cost of both fixed and current assets taking care of all possible loss arising out of any uncertainties

The Management believes that it has taken into account all the possible impact of events arising from COVID 19 pandemic in the preparation of the standalone financial results including the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. However, the impact assessment of COVID 19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration. The Company will continue to monitor any material changes to future economic conditions

The Company has written off Bad and irrecoverable amount of Rs.83.96 Lacs Lakhs from the Book Debts as at March 31,2020 and charged to Profit & Loss Account instead of routing through accumulated provisions for expected credit loss as the Company wants to retain the provisions to cover up the future loss that may be arising out of Covid -19 Pandemic

viii. Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) is recognized when the cost of an asset can be reliably measured and it is probable that the entity will obtain future economic benefits from the asset.

PPE is measured initially at cost. Cost includes the fair value of the consideration given to acquire the asset (net of discounts and rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use (inclusive of import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes). Subsequent expenditure relates to an item of PPE is capitalised if it meets the recognition criteria.

On the date of transition to Ind AS, barring Land which has been valued at Fair value, all other items of assets have been valued as per their 'deemed cost' in accordance with Ind AS 101.

Foreign exchange gain/loss arising on foreign currency denominated borrowing which are not hedged that were incurred to acquire PPE are recorded in the cost of the asset as per Ind AS 101 Para D13AA and Ind AS 21 Para 7A and depreciated over their remaining useful life. In respect of exchange gain/loss arising from foreign currency denominated borrowings which are hedged, accounting has been done based on hedge effectivenenss either as derivate/cash flow hedge as per Ind AS 109.

Depreciation:

The depreciable amount of PPE (being the Gross carrying value less the estimated residual value) is depreciated on a systematic basis over its useful life.

In respect of certain classes of PPE, the company uses different useful life other than those prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. The useful life of such class of PPE has been ascertained based on technical review by a Chartered Engineer and assessment by the management as detailed in the following table:

Class of Assets Useful Lives
Buildings 30 Years
Plant and Machinery 15 Years
Windmill 22 Years
Electrical Machinery solar 30 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years
Vehicles 8 Years

De-recognition:

An item of PPE is derecognised at the time of its disposal or when it is assessed that no further economic benefit would accrue from it. The gain/ loss arising out of such disposal/ retirement is taken to Statement of Profit or Loss.

ix. Investment property:

Investment property is a property, being a land or a building or part of a building or both, held by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease, to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of business. Investment properties (if any), 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. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

x. Intangible assets and amortization:

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Operating software is capitalised and amortised along with the related fixed asset.

The Company has used the following useful lives to amortise its intangible assets:

Class of Assets Useful Lives
Computer software 3 Years
Internally Generated Intangible assets 3 Years

xi. Research and Development Expenditure:

Research & Development expenditure is charged to revenue under the natural heads of account in the year in which it is incurred. However, expenditure incurred at development phase, where it is reasonably certain that outcome of research will be commercially exploited to yield economic benefits to the Company, is considered as Property, plant and equipment or Intangible Asset and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated above.

xii. Impairment of Non Financial assets:

The Company periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the

asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized.

xiii. Inventories:

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost includes all applicable costs incurred in bringing the properties to their present location and condition.

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

Cost of raw materials including consumables and stores & spares are determined on FIFO (First In First Out) Basis.

Cost of work-in-progress is valued at cost of materials and labor together with relevant factory overheads. The cost of work-in progress is determined on the basis of weighted average method.

The finished goods are valued at cost inclusive of excise duty (or) net realizable value whichever is less.

xiv. Financial instruments:

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

1. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

  • Debt instruments at amortized cost
  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
  • Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);
  • Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

Debt instruments at amortized cost:

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Debt instrument at FVTOCI:

A 'debt instrument' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

  • The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
  • The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI).

Debt instrument at FVTPL:

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').

Equity investments (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures):

All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109,' Financial Instruments', are measured at fair value either through statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income. The Company makes an irrevocable election to present in OCI the subsequent changes in the fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognized in the OCI. Any gains or losses on de-recognition is recognized in the OCI and are not recycled to the statement of profit or loss.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of Financial Assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily de-recognized when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third p a r t y u n d e r a ' p a s s - t h r o u g h ' arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures:

The Company's investment in equity instruments of Subsidiary is accounted for at cost as per Ind AS 27.

2. Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and transaction cost (if any) that is attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities is also adjusted.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

a. Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

b. Trade and other payables

cost unless designated as fair value through profit and loss at the inception. These amounts represent liabilities for goods or services provided to the Company which are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities when the payment is due within a period of 12 months from the end of the reporting period. For all trade and other payables classified as current, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Other payables falling due after 12 months from the end of the reporting period are presented as noncurrent liabilities and are measured at amortized

c. Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial

recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

De-recognition of Financial Liabilities:

A financial liability is de-recognized 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 a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

3. 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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

4. Compound Financial Instruments:

A financial instrument that comprises of both the liability and equity components are accounted as compound financial instruments. The fair value of the liability component is separated from the compound instrument and is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The residual value is recognized as equity component of other financial instrument and is not re-measured after initial recognition.

The transaction costs related to compound instruments are allocated to the liability and equity components in the proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds. Transaction costs related to equity component is recognized directly in equity and the cost related to liability component is included in the carrying amount of the liability component and amortized using effective interest method.

xv. Impairment of Financial assets:

The Company assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Company recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses, if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.

xvi. Fair value measurement:

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable, or
  • Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level

Input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

xvii. Revenue Recognition:

a. Revenue from sale of goods and services:

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of returns and discounts to customers.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer, which is mainly upon delivery, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and the recovery of consideration is probable. Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise and other duties which the Company pays as a principal but excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as goods and service tax (GST) and value added tax, as applicable.

Export Benefits are recognized as revenue when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Revenue from services is recognised in the periods in which the services are rendered.

b. Revenue from Projects

Revenue from fixed Price Contracts, where the performance obligation is satisfied over the period of time and where there is no un-certainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration is recognized as per the percentage of completion method in accordance with the IND AS 115. Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognised in proportion that the contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs. The amount recognised is net of goods and service tax (GST) service tax and other amounts collected from the customer in the capacity of an agent, as applicable. In cases where the total project cost is estimated to exceed the total estimated revenue from a project, the loss is recognised immediately. ,

Contract costs include the estimated material costs, installation costs and other directly attributable costs of the project.

Contract revenues represent the aggregate amounts of fair value of sale price for agreements entered into and are accrued based on the percentage that the actual construction costs incurred until the reporting date bears to the total estimated construction costs to completion.

The estimates for contract costs are reviewed by the management periodically and the cumulative effect of the changes in these estimates, if any, are recognized in the period in which these changes may be reliably measured.

c. Dividend:

Income from dividends are recognized when the Company's right to receive the payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting and interim dividend are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors

b. Interest Income:

Interest income, including income arising from other financial instruments, is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial. When calculating the effective interest rate, the company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The expected cash flows are reassessed on a yearly basis and changes, if any, are accounted prospectively.

e. Other Operating Revenue:

Other Operating revenue comprises income from ancillary activities incidental to the operations of the company and are recognized when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

xviii.Leases:

Leases in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Assets acquired under lease where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Such lease is capitalized at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

Assets acquired on lease where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

xix. Employee benefits

1. Short Term and other long term employee benefits:

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Compensated leave absences are encashed by employees at year end and no carry forward of leave is permitted as per the leave policy.

2. Post-Employment Benefits

a. Defined Contribution Plans

A defined contribution plan is a postemployment benefit plan under which the Company pays specified contributions to a separate entity. The Company makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund. The Company's contribution is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

b. Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment.

xx. Share Based Payments Arrangements

Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.Details regarding the determination of the fair value of the equity settled share based payment transactions are set out in the Note No.40.

xxi. Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition/ construction of qualifying assets are capitalized until the time all substantial activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use are complete. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use/ sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to statement of profit and loss.

xxii. Provisions:

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle a reliably assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle each obligation at each balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provision for warranty:

Provision for expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations which takes into account the empirical data on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and regarding possible future incidents.

xxiii.Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets:

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent Assets are not recognized but are disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits are probable.

xxiv.Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares (if any) are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and consolidation of shares if any.

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

xxv.Taxes on Income:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax.

a. Current income tax:

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income / equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

xxvi.Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Company's cash management.

xxvii.Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Information reported to the CODM for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the type of goods or services delivered or provided.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing of wide range of electrical installation products including devices for energy efficiencies services which all fall under One segment by name Electrical Installation Products for any reporting requirements.

Significant accounting Judgments, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments that the management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies:

a) Recognition of deferred tax assets:

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

b) Revenue recognition, contract costs:

The Company uses the percentage of completion method for recognition of revenue, accounting for unbilled revenue and contract cost thereon for its contractual projects. The percentage of completion is measured by reference to the stage of the projects and contracts determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. Use of the percentage-ofcompletion method requires the Company to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Significant assumptions are required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract cost incurred to the estimated total contract revenue and contract cost and the recoverability of the contracts. These estimates are based on events existing at the end of each reporting date.

c) Provision and contingent liability:

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Loss Contingencies that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements.

d) Useful lives of depreciable assets:

Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting. As at March 31, 2020 management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Company. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.

e) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets:

The evaluation of applicable indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.

f) Defined benefit obligation:

Management's estimate of the Defined Benefit obligation is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may impact the obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

g) Fair value measurements:

Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.

Employer's Contribution to Superannuation fund 3.15 4.50
TOTAL 127.68 114.42

B. Defined Benefit plans

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for gratuity, as defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to the employees at the time of separation from the service on completion of vested year of employment i.e. five years. The liability of gratuity plan is provided based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method as at the end of each financial year based on which the Company contributes the ascertained liability to Life Insurance Corporation of India with whom the plan assets are maintained.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, salary risk and longevity risk.

Investment Risk:The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

Interest risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.

Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Longevity risk: The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

ii. Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company has classified its financial instruments into three levels in order to provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair values.

  • (i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • (ii) 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).
  • (iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, other financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values. Accordingly, the fair values of such financial assets and financial liabilities have not been disclosed separately.

iii. Valuation technique used to determine fair value

  • The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are at the amount that would be received to sell an asset and paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
  • The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, other financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
  • The investment included in Level 3 hierarchy have been valued at cost approach to arrive at the fair values.The cost of unquoted investment approximate the fair value as there is a wide range of possible fair value measurement and the cost represents estimate of fair value within that range.
  • The estimated fair value amounts as at March 31, 2020 have been measured as at that date. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to reporting date may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.
  • There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. Credit risk encompasses of both, the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of creditworthiness as well as concentration risks.

The company's credit risk generally arises from Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and other financial assets.

Credit Risk Management

The Group assesses and manages credit risk of financial assets based on following categories arrived on the basis of assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial assets.

  • A: Low credit risk
  • B: Moderate credit risk
  • C: High credit risk

* Life time expected credit loss is provided for trade receivables.

Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counterparty fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions. Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the business, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the company's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates etc. could affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments including cash flow. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while maximising the return.

Interest rate Risks

The Company uses a mix of cash and borrowings to manage the liquidity & fund requirements of its day-to-day operations. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The borrowings are fixed rate borrowings and are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, 'Financial Instruments - Disclosures', since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

Interest rate risk exposure

The following table provide the break-up of the co. fixed and floating rate borrowing (` in Lakhs)
Particulars March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
Fixed Rate Borrowings - -
Floating Rate 17,839.49 14,768.00
Total Borrowings 17,839.49 14,768.00

Interest Rate Sensitivity analysis:

The Sensitivity Analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for Floating Rate Liabilities, assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the year end was outstanding for the whole year.

If interest rate had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variable were held constant, the company"s profit for the year ended 31.03.2020 would decrease/increase by 178.40 Lacs. (for the year ended31st March 2019: decrease /increase by 147.68 Lacs). This is mainly attributable to the Company"s exposure to interest rate on its variable rate borrowings.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the Company's operating activities including anticipated sales & purchase and borrowings where the transactions are denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at 31.03.2020 are as follows:

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independent requirement that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report

Sr.No Key Audit Matter Auditor's Response
1. Accuracy
of
recognition,
measurement,
presentation and disclosures of revenues and
other related balances in view of adoption of Ind
AS
115
"Revenue
from
Contracts
with
Customers"
The
application
of
this
revenue
accounting
standard involves certain key judgements relating
to
identification
of
distinct
performance
obligations, determination of transaction price of
the
identified
performance
obligations,
the
appropriateness of the basis used to measure
revenue recognized over a period. Additionally,
this
revenue
accounting
standard
contains
disclosures which involves collation of information
in respect of disaggregated revenue and periods
over which the remaining performance obligations
will be satisfied subsequent to the balance sheet
date.
Principal Audit Procedures
We assessed the Group's process to identify the impact
of adoption of the revenue accounting standard.
Our audit approach consisted testing of the design and
operating
effectiveness
of
the
internal
controls
and
substantive testing as follows:
- Evaluated the design of internal controls relating to
implementation
of
the
new
revenue
accounting
standard.
- It
is
observed
that
transaction
price
charged
is
exworks price and revenue is booked at the time of
dispatch of the goods.
- The above method followed by the Group is in line with
the provisions of Ind AS 115-'Revenue from contracts
with customers'
Conclusion:
We agree with the management's evaluation.
Sr.No Key Audit Matter Auditor's Response
2. Accuracy of revenues and onerous obligations in
respect of fixed price contracts.
In the process of verifying the accuracy of recognition
of revenues of fixed price contracts, we have
undertaken the following audit approach
-
Understood, evaluated and tested the key controls
over the recognition of revenue from fixed price
contracts. We selected a sample of transactions
and
-
Agreed the applied tariff to the respective terms in
the contract.
-
Tested revenue calculations and agreed the revenue
recognized to the underlying accounting records.
Conclusion:
We agree with the management's evaluation
3. Allowance for credit losses
The Company determines the allowance for credit
losses
based
on
historical
loss
experience
adjusted to reflect current and estimated future
economic conditions. The Company considered
current
and
anticipated
future
economic
conditions relating to industries the Company
deals with and the countries where it operates. In
calculating expected credit loss, the Company
has also considered credit reports and other
related credit information for its customers to
estimate the probability of default in future and
has taken into account estimates of possible
effect from the pandemic relating to COVID-19.
We identified allowance for credit losses as a key
audit matter because the Company exercises
significant judgment in calculating the expected
credit losses.
Refer
Note
No:
to
the
Consolidated
Ind
AS
financial statements
Our audit procedures related to the allowance for credit
losses for trade receivables and unbilled revenue included
the
following,
among
others:
We
tested
the
effectiveness of controls over the (1) development of the
methodology for the allowance for credit losses, including
consideration
of
the
current
and
estimated
future
economic conditions (2) completeness and accuracy of
information
used
in
the
estimation
of
probability
of
default and (3) computation of the allowance for credit
losses. For a sample of customers: We tested the input
data such as credit reports and other credit related
information used in estimating the probability of default
by comparing them to external and internal sources of
information. We tested the mathematical accuracy and
computation of the allowances by using the same input
data used by the Company.
Conclusion:
We agree with the management's evaluation

The consolidated Ind AS financial statements also include the Group's share of Profit of 65.74 Lakhs for the year st ended 31 March, 2020, as considered in the consolidated financial statements, in respect of the subsidiary, whose financial statements have not been audited by us. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the subsidiary, and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) and (11) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiary, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

Information other than the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises of the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's report including Annexures to Boards Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the consolidated Ind AS financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance and conclusion

thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statement, our responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated Ind AS financial statements or other information obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated, If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Consolidated financial position, Consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, Consolidated changes in equity and Consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS and other 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 of 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 design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements.

ANNEXURE "A"

TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SALZER ELECTRONICS LIMITED

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism through- out the audit. We also:-

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated Ind AS 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 controls 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 o f 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 Group'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 consolidated Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated Ind AS 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 Ind

AS financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the consolidated Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entity included in the consolidated Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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"

"ANNEXURE B" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON CONSOLIDATED IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF M/s. SALZER ELECTRONICS LIMITED

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' of the Independent Auditors' Report to the members of the Company on the Consolidated Ind AS Financial Statements for the year ended on 31st March, 2020).

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

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to the financial statements of Salzer Electronics Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), the holding company and its subsidiary company, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding company, its subsidiary company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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.

Auditors' Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my /our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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 financial statements

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company and its subsidiary company have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

CONSOLIDATED SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

Significant Accounting Policies

Note No. 1

i. Corporate Information:

Salzer Electronics Limited, incorporated in January 1985 under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956. The Group is engaged in manufacture of Electrical Installation Products and Components viz., CAM Operated Rotary switches, Selector Switches, Wiring Ducts, Voltmeter Switches, copper wires and cables and allied products addressing customers in the electrical equipment, power, medical equipment, automotive as well as renewable and uninterrupted power system spaces, in a single and unified segment. The Group is listed in Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited.

ii. Genera l Informat ion and Statement of Compliance with IND AS

These Consolidated financial statements ('financial statements') of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs ('MCA') under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act. The Group has uniformly applied the accounting policies during the periods presented.

These financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 were authorized and approved for issue by the Group's Board of Directors on June 18, 2020.

iii. Basis of Preparation:

The financial statements have been prepared on going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India.

The Financial Statements have been prepared and presented on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services as on the exchange date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes in to account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on the basis stated above.In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurements in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices included within level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

iv. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Inter company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions

between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively. The carrying amount of equity accounted investments are tested for impairment. The consolidated Ind AS financial statements of the Group include subsidiary which are incorporated in India in the table below

Name of the Subsidiary % of Holding Reporting Date
Kaycee industries Ltd 74.91% 31.03.2020

iv) Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which require the management of the Group to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon the management's best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future period. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Application of accounting policies that require significant accounting estimates involving complex and subjective judgments and the use of assumptions in these

Financial statements have been disclosed separately under the heading "Significant accounting Judgements , estimates and assumption".

v. Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current, when:

  • It is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading

  • It is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current, when:

  • It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
  • It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
  • It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
  • There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

The entity classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

vi. Foreign currency transactions

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee which is also the functional and presentation currency of the Company. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest rupee.

(a) Initial recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the functional currency, by applying to the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

(b) Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are converted to functional currency using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items denominated in a foreign currency which are carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value or any other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed when the values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items on settlement, or restatement as at reporting date, at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded, are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which they arise.

(c) Forward Contract

Premium/ Discount in respect of Forward Contract are amortized as expense/income over the period of contract. Exchange differences arising on forward contracts between the exchange rate on the date of transaction and the exchange rate prevailing at the year end is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

vii) Covid – 19 and its Financial Impact

Salzer Electronics Limited (Holding / Parent Company) and Kaycee Industries Limited (Subsidiary Company) evaluated the present extraordinary circumstances individually caused by the Pandemic led Lockdown and accordingly they have dealt with financial implications in their respective Books as at March 31,2020 in the following manner :-

  • a) Since the parent company has practice of providing requisite provisions in the Financial Statements in line with the Accounting Standards for the expected credit loss on the carrying cost of both fixed and current assets taking care of all possible loss arising out of any uncertainties, no additional provisions have been made for mitigating any Covid 19 related loss. Having considered above, the parent has written off Bad and irrecoverable amount of Rs.83.96 Lacs Lakhs from the Book Debts as at March 31,2020 and charged to Profit & Loss Account instead of routing through accumulated provisions for expected credit loss and
  • b) The Subsidiary Company has made provisions of Rs.19.46 Lakhs with a view to observing all likely future loss arising out of Covid 19 induced lockdown.

viii. Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) is recognized when the cost of an asset can be reliably measured and it is probable that the entity will obtain future economic benefits from the asset.

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) is recognized when the cost of an asset can be reliably measured and it is probable that the entity will obtain future economic benefits from the asset.

PPE is measured initially at cost. Cost includes the fair value of the consideration given to acquire the asset (net of discounts and rebates) and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use (inclusive of import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes). Subsequent expenditure relates to an item of PPE is capitalised if it meets the recognition criteria.

On the date of transition to Ind AS, barring Land which has been valued at Fair value, all other items of assets have been valued as per their 'deemed cost' in accordance with Ind AS 101.

Foreign exchange gain/loss arising on foreign currency denominated borrowing which are not hedged that were incurred to acquire PPE are recorded in the cost of the asset as per Ind AS 101 Para D13AA and Ind AS 21 Para 7A and depreciated over their remaining useful life. In respect of exchange gain/loss arising from foreign currency denominated borrowings which are hedged, accounting has been done based on hedge effectiveness either as derivate/cash flow hedge as per Ind AS 109.

Depreciation:

The depreciable amount of PPE (being the Gross carrying value less the estimated residual value) is depreciated on a systematic basis over its useful life.

In respect of certain classes of PPE, the Group uses different useful life other than those prescribed in Schedule II to the Act. The useful life of such class of PPE has been ascertained based on technical review by a Chartered Engineer and assessment by the management as detailed in the following table:

Class of Assets Useful Lives
Buildings 30 Years
Plant and Machinery 15 Years
Windmill 22 Years
Electrical Machinery solar 30 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years
Vehicles 8 Years

De-recognition:

An item of PPE is derecognised at the time of its disposal or when it is assessed that no further economic benefit would accrue from it. The gain/ loss arising out of such disposal/ retirement is taken to Statement of Profit or Loss.

ix) Investment property:

Investment property is a property, being a land or a building or part of a building or both, held by the owner or by the lessee under a finance lease, to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or sale in the ordinary course of business Investment properties (if any), 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. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the investment property are required to be replaced at intervals, the group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

x) Intangible assets and amortization:

An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Operating software is capitalised and amortised along with the related fixed asset.

The Group has used the following useful lives to amortise its intangible assets:

Class of Assets Useful Lives
Computer software 3 Years
Internally Generated Intangible assets 3 Years

xi. Research and Development Expenditure:

Research & Development expenditure is charged to revenue under the natural heads of account in the year in which it is incurred. However, expenditure incurred at development phase, where it is reasonably certain that outcome of research will be commercially exploited to yield economic benefits to the Company, is considered as Property, plant and equipment or Intangible Asset and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated above.

xii. Impairment of Non Financial assets

The Group periodically assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or a group of assets comprising a cash generating unit may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. For an asset or group of assets that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that if a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the amount of asset does not exceed the net book value that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized.

xiii) Inventories:

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost includes all applicable costs incurred in bringing the properties to their present location and condition.

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

Cost of raw materials including consumables and stores & spares are determined on FIFO (First In First Out) Basis.

Cost of work-in-progress is valued at cost of materials and labor together with relevant factory overheads. The cost of work-in progress is determined on the basis of weighted average method.

The finished goods are valued at cost inclusive of excise duty (or) net realizable value whichever is less.

xiv) Financial instruments:

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

1. Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories

  • Debt instruments at amortized cost
  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
  • Debt instruments and equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);
  • Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).

Debt instruments at amortized cost:

A 'debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Debt instrument at FVTOCI:

A 'debt instrument' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:

  • The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
  • The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI).

Debt instrument at FVTPL:

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

In addition, the Group may elect to designate a debt

instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as 'accounting mismatch').

Equity investments (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures):

All equity investments within the scope of Ind AS 109,' Financial Instruments', are measured at fair value either through statement of profit and loss or other comprehensive income. The Group makes an irrevocable election to present in OCI the subsequent changes in the fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition.

If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognized in the OCI. Any gains or losses on de-recognition is recognized in the OCI and are not recycled to the statement of profit or loss.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

De-recognition of Financial Assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Group of similar financial assets) is primarily de-recognized when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ' pass - through ' arrangement and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. In that case,

the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Investment in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint ventures:

The Group's investment in equity instruments of Subsidiaries, is accounted for at cost as per Ind AS 27.

2. Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and transaction cost (if any) that is attributable to the acquisition of the financial liabilities is also adjusted.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

a. Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are de-recognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

b. Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods or services provided to the Group which are unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities when the payment is due within a period of 12 months from the end of the reporting period. For all trade and other payables classified as current, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Other payables falling due after 12 months from the end of the reporting period are presented as noncurrent liabilities and are measured at amortized cost unless designated as fair value through profit and loss at the inception.

c. Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit or loss.

d. De-recognition of Financial Liabilities:

A financial liability is de-recognized 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 a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

3. 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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

4. Compound Financial Instruments:

A financial instrument that comprises of both the liability and equity components are accounted as compound financial instruments. The fair value of the liability component is separated from the compound instrument and is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The residual value is recognized as equity component of other financial instrument and is not re-measured after initial recognition.

The transaction costs related to compound instruments are allocated to the liability and equity components in the proportion to the allocation of gross proceeds. Transaction costs related to equity component is recognized directly in equity and the cost related to liability component is included in the carrying amount of the liability component and amortized using effective interest method.

xv) Impairment of Financial assets:

The Group assesses at each date of balance sheet whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Ind AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured through a loss allowance. The Group recognizes lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and / or all trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses or at an amount equal to the life time expected credit losses, if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition.

xvi) Fair value measurement:

The Group measures financial instruments at fair value at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the

price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
  • In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable, or
  • Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level Input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

xvii) Revenue Recognition:

a. Revenue from sale of goods and services:

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of returns and discounts to customers.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership in the goods are transferred to the buyer, which is mainly upon delivery, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and the recovery o f consideration is probable. Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise and other duties which the Group pays as a principal but excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as goods and service tax (GST) and value added tax, as applicable.

Export Benefits are recognized as revenue when the right to receive credit as per the terms of the entitlement is established in respect of exports made.

Revenue from services is recognised in the periods in which the services are rendered.

b. Revenue from Projects

Revenue from fixed Price Contracts, where the performance obligation is satisfied over the period of time and where there is no un-certainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration is recognized as per the percentage of completion method in accordance with the IND AS 115. Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognised in proportion that the contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs. The amount recognised is net of goods and service tax (GST), service tax and other amounts collected from the customer in the capacity of an agent, as applicable. In cases where the total project cost is estimated to exceed the total estimated revenue from a project, the loss is recognised immediately.

Contract costs include the estimated material costs, installation costs and other directly attributable costs of the project.

Contract revenues represent the aggregate amounts of fair value of sale price for agreements entered into and are accrued based on the percentage that the actual construction costs incurred until the reporting date bears to the total estimated construction costs to completion.

The estimates for contract costs are reviewed by the management periodically and the cumulative effect of the changes in these estimates, if any, are recognized in the period in which these changes may be reliably measured..

c. Dividend :

Income from dividends are recognized when the Group's right to receive the payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

Final dividend on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders at the annual general meeting and interim dividend are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors

d. Interest Income:

Interest income, including income arising from other financial instruments, is recognised using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of a financial. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The expected cash flows are reassessed on a yearly basis and changes, if any, are accounted prospectively.

a. Other Operating Revenue:

Other Operating revenue comprises income from ancillary activities incidental to the operations of the Group and are recognized when the right to receive the income is established as per the terms of the contract.

xviii)Leases:

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

Assets acquired under lease where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Such lease is capitalized at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.

Assets acquired on lease where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

xix) Employee benefits

1. Short Term and other long term employee benefits:

A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognized in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

Compensated leave absences are encashed by employees at year end and no carry forward of leave is permitted as per the leave policy.

2. Post-Employment Benefits

a. Defined Contribution Plans

A defined contribution plan is a post- employment benefit plan under which the Group pays specified contributions to a separate entity. The Group makes specified monthly contributions towards Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund. The Group's contribution is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service.

b. Defined Benefit Plans

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in OCI in

the period in which they occur. Re-measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment.

xx) Share Based Payments Arrangements

Equity-settled share based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

xxi) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquisition/ construction of qualifying assets are capitalized until the time all substantial activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use are complete. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use/ sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to statement of profit and loss.

xxii) Provisions:

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as result of past event and it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits of resources will be required to settle a reliably assessable obligation. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle each obligation at each balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provision for warranty:

Provision for expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations which takes into account the empirical data on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and regarding possible future incidents.

xxiii)Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets:

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

Contingent Assets are not recognized but are disclosed when the inflow of economic benefits are probable.

xxiv) Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly paid equity shares (if any) are treated as a fraction of an equity share to the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue; bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and consolidation of shares if any.

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

xxv) Taxes on Income:

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax.

a. Current income tax:

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income / equity and not in the statement of profit and loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry

forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

xxvii) Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Group's cash management.

xxviii.Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company's other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments' operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Information reported to the CODM for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the type of goods or services delivered or provided.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing of wide range of electrical installation products including devices for energy efficiencies services which all fall under One segment by name Electrical Installation Products for any reporting requirements.

Significant accounting Judgments, estimates and assumptions:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments that the management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies

a) Recognition of deferred tax assets:

The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized is based on an assessment of the probability of the future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized.

b) Revenue recognition, contract costs:

The Group uses the percentage of completion method for recognition of revenue, accounting for unbilled revenue and contract cost thereon for its contractual projects. The percentage of completion is measured by reference to the stage of the projects and contracts determined based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. Use of the percentage-ofcompletion method requires the Group to estimate the efforts or costs expended to date as a proportion of the total efforts or costs to be expended. Significant assumptions are required in determining the stage of completion, the extent of the contract cost incurred to the estimated total contract revenue and contract cost and the recoverability of the contracts. These estimates are based on events existing at the end of each reporting date.

c) Provision and contingent liability:

On an on-going basis, the Group reviews pending cases, claims by third parties and other contingencies. For contingent losses that are considered probable, an estimated loss is recorded as an accrual in financial statements. Loss Contingencies that are considered possible are not provided for but disclosed as Contingent liabilities in the financial statements. Contingencies the likelihood of which is remote are not disclosed in the financial statements.

d) Useful lives of depreciable assets:

Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting. As at March 31, 2017 management assessed that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. Further, there is no significant change in the useful lives as compared to previous year.

e) Evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets:

The evaluation of applicable indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets.

f) Defined benefit obligation:

Management's estimate of the Defined Benefit obligation is based on a number of underlying assumptions such as standard rates of inflation, mortality, discount rate and anticipation of future salary increases. Variation in these assumptions may impact the obligation amount and the annual defined benefit expenses.

g) Fair value measurements:

Management applies valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments (where active market quotes are not available). This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the instrument.

TOTAL 141.78

B. Defined Benefit plans

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Group provides for gratuity, as defined benefit plan. The gratuity plan provides for a lump sum payment to the employees at the time of separation from the service on completion of vested year of employment i.e. five years. The liability of gratuity plan is provided based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method as at the end of each financial year based on which the Company contributes the ascertained liability to Life Insurance Corporation of India with whom the plan assets are maintained.

These plans typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest rate risk, salary risk and longevity risk.

Investment Risk:The present value of the defined benefit plan liability (denominated in Indian Rupee) is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.

Interest risk: A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.

Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Longevity risk: The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan's liability.

Principal actuarial assumptions

Principal actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows: (` in Lakhs)

ii. Fair Value Hierarchy

The Group has classified its financial instruments into three levels in order to provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair values.

  • (i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • (ii) 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).
  • (iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, other financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values. Accordingly, the fair values of such financial assets and financial liabilities have not been disclosed separately.

iii. Valuation technique used to determine fair value

  • The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are at the amount that would be received to sell an asset and paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
  • The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, loans, other financial assets, current borrowings, trade payables and other current financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
  • The investment included in Level 3 hierarchy have been valued at cost approach to arrive at the fair values.The cost of unquoted investment approximate the fair value as there is a wide range of possible fair value measurement and the cost represents estimate of fair value within that range.
  • The estimated fair value amounts as at March 31, 2019 have been measured as at that date. As such, the fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to reporting date may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.
  • There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.

Based on business environment in which the Company operates, a default on a financial asset is considered when the counterparty fails to make payments within the agreed time period as per contract. Loss rates reflecting defaults are based on actual credit loss experience and considering differences between current and historical economic conditions. Assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor declaring bankruptcy or litigation decided against the Company. The Company continues to engage with parties whose balances are written off and attempts to enforce repayment. Recoveries made are recognized in statement of profit and loss.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the business, the Company maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the company's liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company takes into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates etc. could affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments including cash flow. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while maximising the return.

Interest rate Risks

The Company uses a mix of cash and borrowings to manage the liquidity & fund requirements of its day-to-day operations. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The borrowings are fixed rate borrowings and are carried at amortized cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, 'Financial Instruments - Disclosures', since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

Interest rate risk exposure

Interest Rate Sensitivity analysis:

The Sensitivity Analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rate for Floating Rate Liabilities, assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the year end was outstanding for the whole year.

If interest rate had been 100 basis points higher/lower and all other variable were held constant, the company"s profit for the year ended 31.03.2020 would decrease/increase by ` 178.40 Lacs. This is mainly attributable to the Company"s exposure to interest rate on its variable rate borrowings.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company's exposure to currency risk relates primarily to the Company's operating activities including anticipated sales & purchase and borrowings where the transactions are denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at 31.03.2020 are as follows:
