SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

S.No. Qualified Opinion Reply
1. Regarding application by an operational creditor,
initiating the insolvency provisions under the Insolvency
and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (‘the Code’) and the
consequential appointment of the RP under the Code,
and adequacy of disclosures concerning the Holding
Company's ability to meet its financial, contractual
and statutory obligations including management's
technical estimates in regard to realisation of Overdue
receivables, Loans and Advances including related
party and contractual dues, investments and Deferred
Tax Assets amounting to Rs.475.97 crores.
The possible impact, if any, arising out of the above
matters ispresentlynotquantifiable.
Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process has been
initiated by the Honourable National Company Law
Tribunal, Chennai Bench vide order dated 10thMarch,
2021. Accordingly, Interim Resolution Professional
was appointed and subsequent to this, Resolution
Professional was appointed on 02ndJune, 2021. The
RP is in the process of obtaining required Expression
of Interest and obtaining Resolution Plans from
Resolution Applicants which shall be put up before
the Committee of Creditors [“COC”] and the Honourable
NCLT for necessary approval.
2 Confirmation of balances are not available for majority
of the trade receivables, loans and advances given,
trade payables, claims received from the employees,
bank balances and bank loans as at March 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the CIRP, the Holding Company stopped
providing interest on bank borrowings from the CIRP
initiation date. In the absence of confirmation of
balances the possible adjustment if any required in the
Statement is presently not determinable. The finance
cost appearing in the Statement are recorded based
on transactions accounted in the accounting system,
differences between the liability recorded by the
Holding Company and confirmations received by the
lenders are not recorded as finance cost or contingent
liability
In accordance with the IBC Code, public announcement
was made calling upon the financial creditors,
operational creditors and past and present employees
of the Company to submit their claims with the Interim
Resolution Professional/Resolution Professional [“IRP/
RP”]. In accordance with the Code, the IRP/RP has to
receive, collate and admit the claims submitted against
the Corporate Debtor. Such claims can be submitted to
the IRP/RP during CIRP till the approval of a Resolution
Plan by the Committee of Creditors [“CoC”].
3 The Holding Company’s net worth as on the reporting
date is negative. The Holding Company has significant
accumulated losses as at the date of the Balance Sheet
and it continues to incur cash losses. Considering
the above and the matters more fully explained in
the Material Uncertainties Relating to Going Concern
section below, we are unable to comment on the
appropriateness of preparation of the Statement on a
goingconcern basis.
The Resolution Professional is in the process of
obtaining the bids from the Resolution Applicants and
a Resolution Plan will be submitted to the Committee of
Creditors and subsequently filed with NCLT for approval.
Such a situation might improve the performance of the
company. In view of the above, financials have been
prepared on a GOING CONCERN basis.
4 We have been informed by the RP that certain information
including the minutes of the meetings of the CoC, cases
filed by the RP against the key management personnel,
employees, suppliers, customers and other parties and
the outcome of certain specific/ routine procedures
carried out as part of the IBC process are confidential in
nature and could not be shared with anyone, other than
the CoC and Hon’ble NCLT. In the opinion of the RP, the
matter is highly sensitive, confidential and may have
adverse impact on the resolution process.
Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the possible
adjustments required in the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities, possible presentation and disclosure
impacts, if any, that may arise if we have been provided
access to review of those information.
The Resolution Professional is obliged not to share
certain information which are integral part of the CIRP,
in order to maintain confidentiality of the process and
in line with the directions of the Committee of Creditors.
As regards the observation of some of the subsidiaries,
the same will get addressed once a Resolution Plan
is achieved by the Corporate Debtor in reviving the
Company.

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT [2020-21] INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The transport sector is an important component of the economy and a common tool used for development. This is even more so in a global economy where economic opportunities have been increasingly related to the mobility of people and freight, including information and communication technologies. A relation between the quantity and quality of transport infrastructure and the level of economic development is apparent. High-density transport infrastructure and highly connected networks are commonly associated with high levels of development. When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multiplier effects such as better accessibility to markets, employment, and additional investments.

The logistics industry has been on the frontline since the beginning of the unprecedented crisis, ensuring that the supply chains remain intact. Since the manufacturing industries were severely hit due to the shortage of labour and the restrictions being imposed on the movement of goods and businesses, the supply has been disrupted. The logistics industry provides significant macro contributions to the national economy by creating employment and generating foreign investment influx. Thus, it holds critical importance as it connects various markets, suppliers and business areas like material handling, warehousing, packaging, supply chain management, procurement, and customs service dotted across the country.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought the business world to a standstill. There has been disruptions in the overall business community. India still is witnessing its share of the viral onslaught and has contained through complete lock-downs from time to time over a period of one year.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND LOCKDOWN ON LOGISTICS SECTOR

The immediate impact of the pandemic on the logistic sector has been a sharp fall in freight availability due to restrictions on the production of non-essential goods, and shortage of fleet for movement of goods owing to the dearth of drivers and a consequent spike in truck rentals and air freight prices. Due to the lockdown, logistics sector has made significant losses resulting in disruption in business cycles and supply chain breakage forcing the logistics sector to face the brunt of the crisis.

During the early stage, customers began to ship more goods in anticipation of stronger business conditions. Logistics has a strong role being the key economic indicators including GDP and Unemployment. When the lockdown was lifted gradually and muted the recovery in industrial activity, the logistic sector, including warehousing, is witnessing sharp demand contraction in the near-term.

According to the reports of the Economic Survey, the logistics industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5 percent. This has become the hub for a greater employment opportunity. . Rapid and technological advancements in digital technologies, changing consumer preferences due to e-commerce, government reforms, and shift in service sourcing strategies are resulting in the transformation of the Indian logistics ecosystem. In the new normal, technology has proven its utility and adaptability even for people living in remote parts of the country. Strong market trends towards the e-commerce segment continue to transform how brands and consumers interact. The pandemic has brought an increase in the demand for essential items such as groceries, food, and pharmaceuticals. Many logistics companies cater to this demand whilst adhering to safety protocols with OTP-based contactless delivery of items. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, logistics aggregators should focus on increasing the efficiency of services and optimizing cost.

Another method adopted by logistics aggregator brands is to help the MSMEs and align with the Government’s self-reliant movement. For small-sellers who want to take their business online and increase their customer base, logistics aggregators have become the one-stop fulfilment solution. With automated warehousing and packaging services, they should ensure that there are minimal weight discrepancy and seamless post-order experience.

PROSPECTS FOR THE LOGISTICS INDUSTRY

Strong growth supported by government reforms, transportation sector development plans, growing retail sales, and the e-commerce sector is likely to be the key drivers of the logistics industry in India.

India’s success and economic growth in the future is heavily dependent on the evolution of its logistics sector. This is essential not only for generating employment or providing broad social benefits to farmers and low-income workers but also for competing with the rest of the world in terms of last-mile connectivity, efficient transportation and time of delivery.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the code of ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, 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 qualified opinion.

We draw attention to the following matters:

  • a) Note No. 1.2 and 12.1(b) to the standalone financial statements, regarding application by an operational creditor, initiating the insolvency provisions under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (‘the Code’) and the consequential appointment of the RP under the Code, and adequacy of disclosures concerning the Company’s ability to meet its financial, contractual and statutory obligations including management’s technical estimates in regard to realisation of Overdue receivables, Loans and Advances including related party and contractual dues, investments and Deferred Tax Assets amounting to Rs. 475.97 crores.

  • The possible impact, if any, arising out of the above matters is presently not quantifiable.

  • b) Note No. 25 to the standalone financial statements, Confirmation of balances are not available for majority of the trade receivables, loans and advances given, trade payables, claims received from the employees, bank balances and bank loans as at March 31, 2021. Pursuant to the CIRP, the Company stopped providing interest on bank borrowings for

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

the current year. In the absence of confirmation of balances the possible adjustment if any required in the standalone financial statements is presently not determinable. The finance cost appearing in the standalone financial statements are recorded based on transactions accounted in the accounting system , differences between the liability recorded by the Company and confirmations received from the lenders are not recorded as finance cost or contingent liability

  • c) The Company has significant accumulated losses as at the date of the Balance Sheet and it continues to incur cash losses. Considering the above and the matters more fully explained in the Material Uncertainties Relating to Going Concern section below, we are unable to comment on the appropriateness of preparation of the standalone financial statements on a going concern basis.

  • d) We have been informed by the RP that certain information including the minutes of the meetings of the CoC, cases filed by the RP against parties and the outcome of certain specific/ routine procedures carried out as part of the IBC process are confidential in nature and could not be shared with anyone, other than the CoC and Hon’ble NCLT. In the opinion of the RP, the matter is highly sensitive, confidential and may have adverse impact the resolution plan.

Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the possible adjustments required in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, possible presentation and disclosure impacts, if any, that may arise if we have been provided access to review of those information.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

The Company has significant accumulated losses as at the date of the Balance Sheet and it continues to incur cash losses. The matters referred to in para (a) and (b) of the basis of qualified opinion paragraph above also essentially require the Company to resolve the situations specified therein within the framework specified through the CIRP. Attention is also invited to para (c) of basis of qualified opinion paragraph above.

As mentioned in para 1 in Responsibilities of Management and Resolution Professional and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements below, since the CIRP is currently in progress, as per the Code, it is required that the Company be managed as going concern during the CIRP, the Standalone Financial Statements is continued to be prepared on going concern basis. However there exists material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern since the same is dependent upon the resolution plan to be formulated and approved by NCLT. The appropriateness of preparation of Standalone Financial Statements on going concern basis is critically dependent upon CIRP as specified in the Code.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

The Company has not paid statutory dues of Rs. 1,471.89 lakhs. It is informed by the RP that the statutory dues which are payable prior to CIRP initiation date (10th March 2021) are to be claimed by the respective authorities in relevant form as prescribed under Regulation 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. Due to non- payment of various statutory liabilities, there may be potential non compliances under relevant statutes and regulations.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

In our opinion and based on the information and explanations given to us, there are no other key audit matters to be communicated in our report, other than those more fully described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph and in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section above.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon

The Company’s management/ RP are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Annual Report 2020-21

43

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

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

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Resolution professional and Those Charged with Governance

During the year, the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (“the NCLT”), Chennai Bench, admitted petition for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (“CIRP”) under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“the Code”) filed by an operational creditor vide order no. IBA/73/2020 dated 10th March 2021 and appointed Mr. Lakshmisubramanian (IBBI Registration no. IBBI/IPA-003/IP-N00232/2019-2020/12697) as Interim Resolution Professional (“IRP”), to manage affairs of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Subsequently, the NCLT, Chennai Bench, vide order no IA/54/CHE/2021 in IBA/73/2020 on 2nd June 2021 appointed Mr. Sripatham Venkatasubramanian Ramkumar as Resolution Professional (“RP”) replacing the IRP according to the resolution passed by the Committee of Creditors unanimously. In view of pendency of the CIRP and suspension of powers of Board of Directors and as explained to us, the powers of adoption of the Statement vests with RP. The Standalone Financial Statements are prepared by the Management of the Company and Certified by the Directors and approved by RP.

The Company’s management/ RP are responsible for the matters stated in section 134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended from time to time, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

We were informed that the standalone financial statements have been approved by the RP based on representations, clarifications and explanations provided by the Management and Key Management Personnel of the Company for the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, management/ RP 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.

The management/ RP are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

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

Annual Report 2020-21

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

  • l Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • l Obtain an understanding of internal 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

  • l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

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

  • l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the standalone 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 standalone 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 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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2016 (“the Order”), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013, we give in Annexure “A” a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order.

ANNExURE B TO ThE INDEpENDENT AUDITOR’S REpORT

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

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of M/s SICAL LOGISTICS LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control 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. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by 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 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

50

Annual Report 2020-21

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

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, 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

NOTES TO ThE ACCOUNTS FOR ThE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCh 2020

1 Company overview and Significant Accounting policies

1.1 Company overview

Sical Logistics Limited ('Sical') founded in 1955 is a leading integrated multimodal logistics solutions provider. The Company is into every aspect of logistics namely port handling, road and rail transport, warehousing, shipping, stevedoring, customs handling, trucking, retail logistics, mining and integrated logistics.

The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India and has its registered office at Chennai, Tamilnadu. The Company has its equity shares listed on the BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited [NSE] and its NCDs on the NSE.

  • The financial statements are approved for issue by the company's Board of Directors on 12 August 2021.

  • 1.2 The Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), Chennai Bench, admitted the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ("CIRP") application filed by an operational creditor of SICAL LOGISTICS LIMITED ("the Company") and appointed Mr. Lakshmisubramanian (IBBI Registration no. IBBI/IPA-003/IP-N00232/2019-2020/12697) as Interim Resolution Professional ("IRP"), in terms of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 ("the Code") to manage the affairs of the Company vide CP No. IBA/73/2020 dated 10[th] March 2021. Pursuant to this, based on the application made by the Committee of Creditors of the Company, the Hon’ble NCLT has ordered appointment of Mr. Sripatham Venkatasubramanian Ramkumar (IBBI Registration No. IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00015/2016-17/10039) as Resolution Professional (“RP”) of the Company in disposing of IA no. IA/54/CHE/2021 in IBA/73/2020 on 2nd June 2021.

In view of pendency of the CIRP, and in view of the suspension of the powers of the Board of Directors and as explained to us, the powers of adoption of the standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021 vest with the RP.

1.3 Basis of preparation of financial statements

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (`Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.4 Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

  • Ø Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

  • Ø Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

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

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

  • Ø It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

  • Ø It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • Ø There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Group classifies

All other liabilities as non-current.

Annual Report 2020-21

55

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

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

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

1.5 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • (i) Income taxes: Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including the amount expected to be paid or recovered in connection with uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 1.16.

  • (ii) property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

  • (iii) Other estimates: The preparation of financial statements involves estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Specifically, the Company estimates the probability of collection of accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.

Estimation of uncertainties relating to the global health pandemic from COVID-19 (COVID 19):

The company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of receivables, unbilled revenues and Investment in joint ventures. 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 statements has used internal and external sources of information including credit reports and related information, economic forecasts . The company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used 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 statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial statements.

1.6 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on accrual method on rendering of services when the significant terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured.

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant. Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

1.7 property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Depreciation: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straightline from the date the assets are ready for intended use. Assets acquired under finance lease and leasehold

Annual Report 2020-21

56

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

improvements are amortized over the lower of estimated useful life and lease term. The estimated useful lives of assets for the current and comparative period of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Asset Class Dep Rate Method Useful Life
(Years)
Buildings 3.34% SLM 30
Workshop 33.34% SLM 3
Furniture & Fixtures 10.00% SLM 10
Office Equipment's 20.00% SLM 5
EDP Equipment's 33.34% SLM 3
Plant & Machinery 20.00% SLM 5
Plant & Machinery 6.79% SLM 14
Vehicles 12.50% SLM 8
BOT Equipment's 5.00% SLM 20

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or disposition of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Amounts paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for intended use before such date are disclosed under capital workin-progress.

1.8 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e. the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee, the national currency of India, which is the functional currency of the Company.

1.9 Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the exchange rates prevailing at reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/ (losses).

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent on the date of transaction.

1.10 Financial instruments

All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset (other than financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the fair value of the financial assets. Loans and borrowings and payable are recognised net of directly attributable transactions costs.

  • (i) Financial assets at amortised cost: A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

Annual Report 2020-21

57

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

  • (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).

They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. Financial assets are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.

Financial assets at amortised cost are represented by trade receivables, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks which can be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty on the principal.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and in fixed deposits with a original maturity period of less than 12 months from balance sheet date are considered as a part of the Company’s cash management system.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost: Financial liabilities at amortised cost represented by trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

1.11 Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives 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:

  • Ø In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • Ø 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.

"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, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Ø Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Ø Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable

  • Ø 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 recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Company enters into certain derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps and currency swaps to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is

Annual Report 2020-21

58

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

1.12 Impairment

  • (i) Financial assets: In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivable.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12 month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

As a practical expedient, the Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss on portfolio of its trade receivable. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward- looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in forward-looking estimates are analysed.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/expense in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head other expenses in the statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:

Financial assets measured at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivable: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the group does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

  • (ii) Non-financial assets: The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a non financial asset or a group of non financial assets is impaired.If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment loss.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the recoverable. Losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Company considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through statement of profit and loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).

1.13 Loss allowance for receivables and unbilled revenues

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

Annual Report 2020-21

59

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

conditions relating to industries the company deals with. 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.

1.14 Employee Benefit

The Company participates in various employee benefit plans. Post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as expense during the period when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated using the projected unit credit method.

The Company has the following employee benefit plans:

  • (a) Gratuity: In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Company’s obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income.

Remeasurements comprising of actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

  • (b) Compensated absences: The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised accumulating compensated absences and utilise it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognizes accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the period in which the absences occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

1.15 provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

1.16 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of raw materials includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price

Annual Report 2020-21

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.17 Finance income and expense

Finance income consists of interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the statement of profit and loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses consist of interest expense on loans and borrowings. Borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

1.18 Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.

  • (a) Current income tax: Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.

  • (b) Deferred income tax: Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax asset 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.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is 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 income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

1.19 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

1.20 Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

1.21 Leases

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for building and vehicles. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

31 Financial risk management

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include advances, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Credit risk has always been managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The expected credit loss model takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors and the Company's historical experience for customers.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, treasury 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. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

34 Effective 1 April 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of our Annual Report for year ended 31 March 2021.

On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset of Rs. 1,154 lakhs, and a lease liability of Rs. 1,247 lakhs. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, amounting to Rs. 61 lakhs was debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. Ind AS 116 will result in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.

The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

  1. Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date.

  2. Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application.

  3. Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  4. Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019 is 11%.

36 Fair value hierarchy

This explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

36.2 Specific valuation techniques used to value the above financial instruments include:

  • 2) the fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves

  • 37 The Company is primarily engaged in providing integrated logistics services which is considered as single business segment in terms of segment reporting as per AS 108. There being no services rendered outside India there are no separate geographical segments to be reported on.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of SICAL LOGISTICS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SICAL LOGISTICS LIMITED (“the Holding Company”), its subsidiaries and its jointly controlled entities (collectively referred to as “the Company” or “the Group”), comprising of the consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Loss), the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (“the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis of Qualified Opinion paragraph and the Material Uncertainty Relating To Going Concern Section below, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2021, the consolidated loss, consolidated total comprehensive loss, consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

The Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (“NCLT”), Chennai Bench, admitted the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (“CIRP”) application filed by an operational creditor of SICAL LOGISTICS LIMITED (“the Holding Company”) and appointed Mr. Lakshmisubramanian (IBBI Registration no. IBBI/IPA-003/IP-N00232/2019-2020/12697) as Interim Resolution Professional (“IRP”), in terms of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“the Code”) to manage the affairs of the Holding Company vide CP No. IBA/73/2020 dated 10th March 2021. Pursuant to this, based on the application made by Committee of Creditors of the Holding Company, the Hon’ble NCLT has ordered appointment of Mr. Sripatham Venkatasubramanian Ramkumar (IBBI Registration No. IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00015/2016-17/10039) as Resolution Professional (“RP”) of the Holding Company in disposing of IA no. IA/54/CHE/2021 in IBA/73/2020 on 2nd June 2021.

In view of pendency of the CIRP, and in view of suspension of the powers of Board of Directors of the Holding Company and as explained to us, the powers of adoption of the consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2021 vest with the RP.

We draw attention to the following matters in respect of the Holding Company:

  • a) Note No 1.2 and 11.1 to the Statement, regarding application by an operational creditor, initiating the insolvency provisions under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (‘the Code’) and the consequential appointment of the RP under the Code, and adequacy of disclosures concerning the Holding Company’s ability to meet its financial, contractual and statutory obligations including management’s technical estimates in regard to realisation of Overdue receivables, Loans and Advances including related party and contractual dues, investments and Deferred Tax Assets amounting to Rs.475.97 crores.

The possible impact, if any, arising out of the above matters is presently not quantifiable.

  • b) Note No. 23 to the Statement, Confirmation of balances are not available for majority of the trade receivables, loans and advances given, trade payables, claims received from the employees, bank balances and bank loans as at March 31, 2021. Pursuant to the CIRP, the Holding Company stopped providing interest on bank borrowings from the CIRP initiation date. In the absence of confirmation of balances the possible adjustment if any required in the Statement is presently not determinable. The finance cost appearing in the Statement are recorded based on transactions accounted in the accounting system, differences between the liability recorded by the Holding Company and confirmations received by the lenders are not recorded as finance cost or contingent liability

  • c) The Holding Company’s net worth as on the reporting date is negative. The Holding Company has significant accumulated losses as at the date of the Balance Sheet and it continues to incur cash losses. Considering the above

Annual Report 2020-21

95

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

and the matters more fully explained in the Material Uncertainties Relating to Going Concern section below, we are unable to comment on the appropriateness of preparation of the Statement on a going concern basis.

  • d) We have been informed by the RP that certain information including the minutes of the meetings of the CoC, cases filed by the RP against other parties and the outcome of certain specific/ routine procedures carried out as part of the IBC process are confidential in nature and could not be shared with anyone, other than the CoC and Hon’ble NCLT. In the opinion of the RP, the matter is highly sensitive, confidential and may have adverse impact on the resolution process.

Accordingly, we are unable to comment on the possible adjustments required in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, possible presentation and disclosure impacts, if any, that may arise if we have been provided access to review of those information.

Additionally, the auditors of some of the subsidiaries have highlighted key audit matters, material uncertainty related to going concern and emphasis of matter paragraphs, non receipt of confirmation of balance from debtors and creditors, delay / defaults in payment of interest and principal to banks and financial institutions amounting to Rs. 33,692 lakhs, receivables outstanding from Holding Company in the books of subsidiaries in their respective audit reports.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its associates and jointly controlled entities in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in “Other Matter” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

Holding Company

The Holding Company has significant accumulated losses as at the date of the Balance Sheet and it continues to incur cash losses. The matters referred to in para (a) and (b) of the basis of qualified opinion paragraph above also essentially require the Holding Company to resolve the situations specified therein within the framework specified through the CIRP. Attention is also invited to para (c) of basis of qualified opinion paragraph above.

As mentioned in para 1 in Responsibilities of Management and Resolution Professional and Those Charged with Governance for the Statement, since the CIRP is currently in progress, as per the Code, it is required that the Holding Company be managed as going concern during the CIRP, the Consolidated Financial Results is continued to be prepared on going concern basis. However there exists material uncertainty about the Holding Company’s ability to continue as a going concern since the same is dependent upon the resolution plan to be formulated and approved by NCLT. The appropriateness of preparation of Financial Statements on going concern basis is critically dependent upon CIRP as specified in the Code.

Subsidiary Company - Sical Iron Ore Terminals Limited (SIOTL)

Independent Auditors of SIOTL have reported that due to acute liquidity crunch coupled with delay in completing the project indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on SIOT’s ability to continue as a going concern and there are impairment indications that cast a doubt that the carrying value of the Cash generating Unit (CGU) is likely to exceed its recoverable amount. SIOTL had also received Notice of Default from the Consortium Lead Banker YES Bank Limited and UCO Bank requesting Kamarajar Port Limited to issue a Notice of Intent to Terminate SIOTL and suspending all rights of SIOTL. Kamarajar Port Ltd vide its letter dated 21st December 2020 served notice of intent to terminate the license agreement and subsequently issued termination notice dated 22nd March 2021. However, the accounts of SIOTL has been prepared on a going concern basis.

During the year, the exposure of the Holding Company to SIOTL has been fully impaired and effect has been given in the consolidated financial results.

Annual Report 2020-21

96

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

These events indicate that a material uncertainty related to the going concern assumption exists and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the resolution plan to be formulated and approved by NCLT for the Holding Company. However, the accounts of the Group have been prepared on a Going Concern basis.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of Matter

The Group has not paid statutory dues of Rs. 1,471.89 lakhs by the Holding Company and Rs 129.34 lakhs by the Subsidiaries. It is informed by the RP that the statutory dues which are payable by the Holding Company prior to CIRP initiation date (10th March 2021) are to be claimed by the respective authorities in relevant form as prescribed under Regulation 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016. Due to non- payment of various statutory liabilities, there may be potential non compliances under relevant statutes and regulations.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Holding Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Holding Company’s Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our report thereon.

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

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/ audit report of other auditors, 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 Resolution Professional and Those Charged with Governance

During the year, the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (“the NCLT”), Chennai Bench, admitted petition for initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (“CIRP”) under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“the Code”) filed by an operational creditor vide order no. IBA/73/2020 dated 10 th March 2021 and appointed Mr. Lakshmisubramanian (IBBI Registration no. IBBI/IPA-003/IP-N00232/2019-2020/12697) as Interim Resolution Professional (“IRP”), to manage affairs of the Holding Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Subsequently, the NCLT, Chennai Bench, vide order no IA/54/CHE/2021 in IBA/73/2020 on 2nd June 2021 appointed Mr. Sripatham Venkatasubramanian Ramkumar as Resolution Professional (“RP”) replacing the IRP according to the resolution passed by the Committee of Creditors unanimously. In view of pendency of the CIRP and suspension of powers of Board of Directors of the Holding Company and as explained to us, the powers of adoption of the Statement vests with RP. The Statement is prepared by the Management of the Company and Certified by the Directors and approved by RP.

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements.

The Holding Company’s management/RP are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its Subsidiaries and Jointly controlled entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,

relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the management/RP of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the RP/ respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its Subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the RP/ respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The RP/ respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

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

  • l Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • l Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • l Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

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

  • l Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • l Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the 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 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 financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

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

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication

ANNExURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

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 financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SICAL LOGISTICS LMITED (“the Holding Company”), its subsidiary companies, and its jointly controlled enterprises 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 companies and its jointly controlled enterprise, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (“Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

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, issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports and the information and explanation provided by the management is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A Company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated 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, based on the test checks conducted by us, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, the Holding Company, its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, reasonably adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were prima facie operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, 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.

Other Matter

Our aforesaid report under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company, in so far as it relates to the subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, is based solely on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such companies incorporated in India.

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

1.2 Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (`Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS as prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

1.3 Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Sical Logistics Limited ('SLL') and all its subsidiaries and joint ventures. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the following basis:

  • a) The financial statements of the parent company and the subsidiaries have been combined on a linebyline basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating intra-group balances / transactions and resulting unrealised profits/losses in full in accordance with Ind AS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements. The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise the amount of the relevant reserves as per the balance sheet of the parent company and its share in the post-acquisition increase in the relevant reserves of the subsidiaries.

  • b) In translating the financial statements of the non-integral foreign subsidiaries for incorporation in the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities, both monetary and nonmonetary are translated at the closing rate, while income and expense items are translated at the date of transaction. For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the actual exchange rates i.e. average rate for the period has been used and all resulting exchange differences are reflected in foreign currency translation reserve. Share Capital and opening reserves and surplus are carried at historical cost. The resulting net exchange difference are reflected in the foreign currency translation reserve.

  • c) The proportionate share of the Group’s interest in Joint Ventures is accounted under equity method of accounting in accordance with Ind AS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

  • d) Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries consists of: (a) the amount of equity attributable to minorities at the date on which investment in a subsidiary is made; and (b) the minorities’ share of movements in equity since the date the parent subsidiary relationship came into existence. Minority interest in share of net result for the year is identified and adjusted against the profit after tax.

1.4 Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:

  • Ø Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

  • Ø Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • Ø 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.

Annual Report 2020-21

109

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

  • A liability is current when:

  • Ø It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle

  • Ø It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or

  • Ø There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Group classifies All other liabilities as non-current.

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

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Group has identified twelve months as its operating cycle.

1.5 Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • (i) Income taxes: Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including the amount expected to be paid or recovered in connection with uncertain tax positions. Also refer to Note 1.17.

  • (ii) Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Group. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Group's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology.

  • (iii) Other estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements involves estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Specifically, the Group estimates the probability of collection of accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.

1.6 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized on accrual method on rendering of services when the significant terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured.

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Ind AS 115 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 115 was insignificant. Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which we refer as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which we refer to as unearned revenues).

1.7 Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Depreciation: The Group depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straightline as well as written down value basis from the date the assets are ready for intended use. Assets acquired under finance lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lower of estimated useful life and lease term. The estimated useful lives of assets for the current and comparative period of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

110

Annual Report 2020-21

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

Asset Class Dep Rate Method Useful Life Useful Life
(Years)
Buildings 3.34%/1.67% SLM 30 / 60
Workshop 33.34% SLM 3
Furniture & Fixtures 10.00% SLM 10
Office Equipments 20.00% SLM 5
EDP Equipments 33.34% SLM 3
Plant & Machinery 20%/6.79% SLM 5 / 14
Vehicles 12.50% SLM 8
BOT Equipments 5.00% SLM 20
Electrical Installations 10.00% SLM 10

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the consolidated financial statements upon sale or disposition of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

Amounts paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not ready for intended use before such date are disclosed under capital work- in-progress.

1.8 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e. the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupee, the national currency of India, which is the functional currency of the Group.

1.9 Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the respective transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the exchange rates prevailing at reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains / (losses). Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent on the date of transaction.

1.10 Financial instruments

All financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset (other than financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss) are included in the fair value of the financial assets. Loans and borrowings and payable are recognised net of directly attributable transactions costs.

  • (i) Financial assets at amortised cost: A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

  • (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).

They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. Financial assets are measured initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss.

Annual Report 2020-21

111

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

Financial assets at amortised cost are represented by trade receivables, security deposits, cash and cash equivalents, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks which can be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty on the principal.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and in fixed deposits with a original maturity period of less than 12 months from balance sheet date are considered as a part of the Group’s cash management system.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities at amortised cost: Financial liabilities at amortised cost represented by trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

1.11 Fair value measurement

The Group measures financial instruments, such as, derivatives 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:

  • Ø In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • Ø 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, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

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

  • Ø 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 recognised in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Group enters into certain derivative contracts such as interest rate swaps and currency swaps to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

1.12 Impairment

  • (i) Financial assets: In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss. The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivable.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has

Annual Report 2020-21

112

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12 month ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12 month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognised during the period is recognised as income/ expense in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head other expenses in the statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:

Financial assets measured at amortised cost, contractual revenue receivable: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e. as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write off criteria, the group does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount.

  • b) Non-financial assets: The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a non financial asset or a group of non financial assets is impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the amount of impairment loss.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the recoverable. Losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through consolidated statement of profit and loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).

1.13 Employee Benefit

The Group participates in various employee benefit plans. Post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Group’s only obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as expense during the period when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Group’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the Group. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated using the projected unit credit method.

The Group has the following employee benefit plans:

  • (a) Gratuity: In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Group provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Group. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The Group’s obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

  • Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Further, the profit or loss does not include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through other comprehensive income.

Remeasurements comprising of actuarial gains or losses and return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Annual Report 2020-21

113

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

  • (b) Compensated absences: The employees of the Group are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised accumulating compensated absences and utilise it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment. The Group records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Group measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Group expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Group recognizes accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the period in which the absences occur. The Group recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss.

1.14 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

1.15 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Cost of raw materials includes cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.16 Finance income and expense

inance income consists of interest income on funds invested. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in the statement of profit and loss, using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses consist of interest expense on loans and borrowings. Borrowing costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

1.17 Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.

  • (a) Current income tax: Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The Group offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.

  • (b) Deferred income tax: Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in consolidated financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax asset 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.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

The carrying aount of deferred income tax assets is 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 income tax asset to be utilized.

Annual Report 2020-21

114

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

1.18 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic EPS and also weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

1.19 Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

1.20 Leases

Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Company makes an assessment on the expected lease term on a lease-by-lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Company considers factors such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to Company’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances. After considering current and future economic conditions, the company has concluded that no changes are required to lease period relating to the existing lease contracts.

The Company’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, building and vehicles. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.

Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.

Based on the public announcement made for commencement of CIRP, various creditors have filed claims (including interest on delayed payment, penalty etc.) on the company. These claims have been submitted by financial and operational creditors (including past and present employees) and are being reconciled with the books of accounts on an ongoing basis. As a part of the process, the claims verified/submitted during this CIRP period (ongoing till submission of resolution plan) shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Claims admitted under CIRP would be reconciled and reviewed in subsequent period for any additional liability which is to be recored in the books.

It is possible that, a proposed resolution plan envisages that the creditors accept haircuts and accept reduction in their liabilities. Since the RP is still in the process of receiving bids from prospective resolution applicants, it is not possible to evaluate the amounts that will be foregone or the restructuring, if any that will be necessitated. Therefore, overall implications on account of completion of such reconciliation process have not been considered in these financial statements.

29 Financial risk management

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include advances, trade and other receivables, and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Credit risk has always been managed by

Annual Report 2020-21

SICAL LOGISTICS LTD.

Consolidated notes to aCCoUnts

the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The expected credit loss model takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors and the Company's historical experience for customers.

The following table gives details in respect of percentage of revenues generated from top customer and top five customers:.

Particulars As at As at
31 March 2021 31 March 2020
Revenue from top customer 25.49% 17.13%
Revenue from top five customers 58.39% 61.57%
Credit risk exposure

The allowance for lifetime expected credit loss on customer balances for the year ended 31 March 2020 was ` 6,090 lakhs.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as we generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, treasury 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. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities:

Borrowings 11.1, 14.1 and 14.3 133,513 6,656 -
Trade payable 13.2 16,872 - -

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprise three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk primarily include borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

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 Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exchange risk arises from its foreign currency revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S. dollars, British pound sterling and euros), foreign currency payable (in Euro) and foreign currency receivables (in USD). The following tables present foreign currency risk:

Effective 1 April 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 “Leases” and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective method and has taken the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings, on the date of initial application. Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date of the lease, but discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparatives as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021 have not been retrospectively adjusted and therefore will continue to be reported under the accounting policies included as part of our Annual Report for year ended 31 March 2021.

32 On transition, the adoption of the new standard resulted in recognition of 'Right of Use' asset of 9,964 lakhs, and a lease liability of 10,969 lakhs. The cumulative effect of applying the standard, amounting to ` 816 lakhs was debited to retained earnings, net of taxes. Ind AS 116 will result in an increase in cash inflows from operating activities and an increase in cash outflows from financing activities on account of lease payments.

The following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

  1. Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date

  2. Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application

  3. Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  4. Applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. Accordingly, Ind AS 116 is applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019 is 11% and 12.75%..

The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019 is 11% and 12.75%.

34 Fair value hierarchy

This explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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

Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • (i) The voting period begins on Tuesday, the 28[th] December, 2021 at 9.00 a.m. and ends on Thursday, the 30[th] December, 2021 at 5.00 p.m. During this period shareholders’ of the Company, holding shares either in physical form or in dematerialized form, as on the cut-off date (record date) of 24[th] December 2021 may cast their vote electronically.

However, it has been observed that the participation by the public non-institutional shareholders/retail shareholders is at a negligible level.

Currently, there are multiple e-voting service providers (ESPs) providing e-voting facility to listed entities in India. This necessitates registration on various ESPs and maintenance of multiple user IDs and passwords by the shareholders.

In order to increase the efficiency of the voting process, pursuant to a public consultation, it has been decided to enable e-voting to all the demat account holders, by way of a single login credential, through their demat accounts/ websites of Depositories/ Depository Participants. Demat account holders would be able to cast their vote without having to register again with the ESPs, thereby, not only facilitating seamless authentication but also enhancing ease and convenience of participating in e-voting process.

  • (iv) In terms of SEBI circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/CMD/CIR/P/2020/242 dated December 9, 2020 on e-Voting facility provided by Listed Companies, Individual shareholders holding securities in demat mode are allowed to vote through their demat account maintained with Depositories and Depository Participants.
