MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS OVERVIEW:
The main business of the Company is manufacturing and sale of Industrial Fasteners.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:
India continues to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies, with GDP growth estimated at 6.5% in FY 2024-25 and projected to continue at similar levels in FY 2025-26, supported by robust domestic consumption, increasing government capital expenditure and improving rural demand due to favorable monsoons. The Manufacturing PMI has remained strong, indicating sustained industrial activity despite global challenges.
In the automotive sector, which is a key consumer of fasteners, India continues to be the world’s largest twowheeler manufacturer, third in heavy truck production, and fourth in passenger vehicle manufacturing. The passenger vehicle (PV) segment recorded its highest-ever sales of 4.3 million units in FY 2024-25, with a notable increase in SUV sales and record-high exports. The penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) in both the passenger and two-wheeler segments continues to rise, supported by government incentives under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme and policies to expand charging infrastructure.
The commercial vehicle (CV) segment witnessed a slight degrowth in FY 2024-25 but is expected to recover, supported by infrastructure investments and replacement demand for older vehicles. The two-wheeler segment grew by 9.1% during FY 2024-25, aided by improved connectivity in rural and semi-urban areas, while the tractor segment is poised for a recovery with favorable monsoon conditions and pre-buying ahead of the implementation of Bharat Stage TREM V emission norms.
The continued emphasis on infrastructure development, including the expansion of highways and expressways, is enhancing logistics efficiency, which indirectly benefits the fastener industry. However, challenges such as volatility in raw material prices, environmental compliance pressures, and the need to adopt advanced manufacturing technologies persist.
We remain focused on leveraging these industry developments, prioritizing capacity enhancement, technological upgradation, and cost optimization to strengthen its market position. We continue to invest in R&D to develop innovative, high-strength, and lightweight fasteners, aligning with evolving customer needs, including for the EV and renewable energy sectors.
OPPORTUNITY, THREATS, RISKS & CONCERN
India’s economic growth is underpinned by strong domestic consumption, a favorable demographic profile, and a supportive policy environment, providing significant opportunities for the automotive and industrial fastener segments. The government’s initiatives to promote EV adoption, increased infrastructure spending, and policies favouring manufacturing localization present avenues for growth.
The potential moderation of interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India, coupled with stable crude oil prices and USD/INR exchange rates, is expected to support investment and consumption. Inclusion in the Global Bond Index could lead to foreign investment inflows, stabilizing currency volatility and supporting export competitiveness.
However, the industry faces risks including:
-
Commodity Price Volatility: Fluctuations in steel and alloy prices can impact input costs and margins.
-
Supply Chain Disruptions: Geopolitical tensions, trade policy shifts, and global uncertainties may affect raw material availability.
-
Regulatory Changes: Evolving environmental and safety norms require agility in adapting products and processes.
-
Weather-Related Risks: Extreme weather conditions or monsoon failures can impact rural demand, indirectly affecting auto demand.
-
Exchange Rate Volatility: While the rupee has shown resilience, global financial uncertainties may lead to volatility.
We aim to proactively manage these risks through strategic sourcing, operational efficiencies, and maintaining a balanced product mix catering to both domestic and export markets. We continue to monitor macroeconomic developments to remain agile in our pricing and procurement strategies while ensuring operational resilience.

OUTLOOK – GLOBAL AND DOMESTIC:
Global economic growth is projected to remain steady at around 3.2% in CY 2025, despite elevated inflationary pressures and geopolitical uncertainties. Advanced economies are expected to see modest growth, while emerging markets, including India, will continue to drive global growth momentum.
Domestically, India’s outlook remains robust, driven by sustained consumer demand, infrastructure investments, and a stable policy environment. The government’s Interim Budget for FY 2025-26, focusing on agriculture, MSMEs, investments, and exports, along with significant allocations for infrastructure projects, is expected to support industrial growth. Retail inflation has moderated, providing a conducive environment for growth without compromising fiscal prudence.
The automotive sector, a significant consumer of fasteners, is projected to witness steady demand, supported by:
-
Continued growth in PV and SUV sales
-
Including higher EV penetration
-
Recovery in the CV segment:
-
Driven by infrastructure investments and e-commerce logistics demand
-
Expansion in the two-wheeler and tractor segments due to improving rural incomes.
These trends present opportunities for the fastener industry to scale up and innovate with advanced, lightweight, and high-strength fasteners required for modern vehicle designs, including EV platforms. We remain committed to capitalizing on these opportunities by expanding our manufacturing capabilities, enhancing our export focus, and investing in technology and sustainability initiatives to align with customer and regulatory expectations. By maintaining our focus on quality, innovation, and customer service, we are well-positioned to achieve sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to our stakeholders in the evolving market environment.
WAY FORWARD:
As we move into FY 2025-26, we will continue to focus on strengthening its position in the domestic and international fastener markets by leveraging technological advancements, expanding capacity, and enhancing operational efficiencies. Our commitment to quality, cost competitiveness, and customer-centricity will guide our initiatives, while our focus on sustainability will drive investments in clean energy, waste reduction, and environmentally friendly product innovations. By aligning our strategies with industry shifts such as the EV transition and infrastructure-led growth, we are confident in our ability to navigate challenges and create enduring value for all stakeholders.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period.

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.
When we read the report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Management responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 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 Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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:
-
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.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone 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.

Annexure “B” referred to in “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” section of our report to the members of Simmonds Marshall Limited for the year ended March 31, 2025:
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statement under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement of the Simmonds Marshall Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2025 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 Board of Directors of the Company 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 component 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 (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 with reference to standalone financial statement 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 deemed to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement 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 with reference to standalone financial statement included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement, 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 standalone 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 with reference to standalone financial statement
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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management; (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the standalone financial statements and (4) also provide reasonable assurance by the internal auditors through their internal audit reports given to the entity from time to time.
74
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statement
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, broadly, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statement were operating effectively as at March 31, 2025, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential component of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by ICAI.

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
1. Notes to the Standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025
A. CORPORATE INFORMATION:
Simmonds Marshall Limited (‘The Company’) is a public limited company domiciled in India under registration number L29299PN1960PLC011645. The Company is incorporated in India on 16th April, 1960 under the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 and the registered office of the Company is at Plot No. C-4/1, Phase II, Chakan MIDC, Bhamboli, Khed, Pune, Maharashtra 410501 and the Company has its listing on BSE Limited (Bombay Stock Exchange). The Company is primarily engaged in the business of manufacture of Industrial Fasteners and Bolts.
B. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements:
These Standalone financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other related provisions of the Act.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and historical cost convention except for the following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by the relevant Ind AS:
-
(i) Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at Fair value (Refer note no.B.6)
-
(ii) Defined benefit employee plan (Refer note no. B.12)
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act.
2. Use of Estimates and judgments:
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The recognition, measurement, classification or disclosure of an item or information in the financial statements is made relying on these estimates. The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously evaluated by the management and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the management believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
Critical accounting judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty
The Company is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.
-
(a) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations, key actuarial assumptions - Note no. - 43
-
(b) Estimation of useful life of the Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note no. B.5
3. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are capitalized on the day they are ready for use and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumalated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring to the site on which it is located.
80
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and that the cost of the item can be reliably measured.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
- Assets which are not ready for their intended use are disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
4. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
5. Depreciation and Amortization:
(a) Property plant and equipment (PPE)
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method applying the useful lives prescribed in part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
The range of estimated useful lives of Property, plant and equipments are as under:
| Building (including roads) | - 3 to 30 Years |
|---|---|
| Plant & Equipment | - 10 to 15 Years |
| Furniture & Fixtures | - 5 to 10 Years |
| Ofce Equipment | - 5 Years |
| Electrical Installations | - 10 Years |
| Vehicles | - 8 Years |
| Computers & Servers | - 3 to 6 Years |
(b) Intangible assets
Software is amortized over a period of 3 years
Royalty is amortised over a period of 5 years
Goodwill is impaired based on impairment testing not amortized
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of PPE are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
6. Financial Instruments:
Financial assets - Initial recognition:
Financial assets are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value however, trade receivables that do not contain significant financing component are measured at transaction price(net of variable consideration). In case of Financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction cost are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit & loss (FVTPL)
-
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
81
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
The above classification is being determined considering :
-
(a) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and
-
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period, the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.
(i) Measured at amortised cost:
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
(ii) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
Financial assets are measured at FVTOCI, if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Financial assets other than equity instrument are measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI on initial recognition. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Instruments
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are measured at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument shall be recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Company has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in the OCI. Amounts recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment
The Company recognises a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable and supportable including that which is forward looking.
The Company’s trade receivables or contract revenue receivables do not contain significant financing component and loss allowance on trade receivables is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall, being simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance.
Under simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on the lifetime ECL at each reporting date right from its initial recognition. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates
82
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Company recognises 12–months expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition, than the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months ECL. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. For financial assets measured at FVTPL, there is no requirement of impairment testing.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement.
In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs which are not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans & Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortization process.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that requires a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
83
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
7. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, 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:
-
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
-
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.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
8. Inventories
Inventories includes Raw Material, Work-in-Progress, Finished goods, Stores & spares, Tools, Packing Materials are stated at cost and net realizable value whichever is lower.
Raw Materials, Stores & Spares, Tools and Packing Materials
Cost include cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
84
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods
Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of direct material, labour, other direct cost and a proportion of fixed manufacturing overheads allocated based on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Traded Goods
Stock in trade are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other direct costs incurred. For this purpose cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Adequate allowance is made for obsolete and slow moving items.
9. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and cheque in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value where original maturity is three months or less.
10. Foreign Currency Transactions:
a) Initial Recognition
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss
b) Measurement of Foreign Currency Items at the Balance Sheet Date
Foreign currency monetary items of the Company are restated at the closing exchange rates. Non monetary items are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising out of these transactions are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss.
11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company recognizes revenue, whenever control over distinct goods or services is transferred to the customer; i.e. when the customer is able to direct the use of the transferred goods or services and obtains substantially all of the remaining benefits, provided a contract with enforceable rights and obligations exists and amongst others collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is the transaction price the Company expects to be entitled to. In determining the transaction price, the Company considers effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing contracts, non-cash consideration in exchange of transferring of promised goods or services to the customer. The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties etc.).
Variable Consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur once associated uncertainties are resolved. Some contracts with the customers provide them with a right to return and volume rebates. The right to return and volume rebates gives rise to variable consideration.The amount of variable consideration is calculated by either using the expected value or the most likely amount depending on which is expected to better predict the amount of variable consideration. Consideration is also adjusted for
85
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
the time value of money if the period between the transfer of goods or services and the receipt of payment exceeds twelve months and there is a significant financing benefit either to the customer or the Company. If a contract contains more than one distinct goods or services, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative stand-alone selling prices. If stand-alone selling prices are not observable, the Company reasonably estimates those.
Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation either at a point in time or over time.
Sale of goods:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the control of the goods passes to the buyer either at the time of dispatch or delivery or when the risk of loss transfers.
Revenue from sale of goods is net of taxes and recovery of charges collected from customers like transport, packing etc. Provision is made for returns when appropriate. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and is net of price discounts, allowance for volume rebates and similar items.
Claims / Refunds not ascertainable with reasonable certainty are accounted for, on final settlement and are recognized as revenue on certainty of receipt on prudent basis.
Rendering of services:
Revenue from sale of services are recognized when the services are rendered.
Other Income
Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest. For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the Effective interest rate method to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
Contract balances:
Trade Receivables:
A receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only a passage of time is required to before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfer goods and services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due, whichever is earlier. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.
12. Employee Benefits:
The Company has provided following post-employment plans:
-
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity and
-
(b) Defined contribution plans such as Provident fund & Superannuation fund
a) Defined-benefit plan:
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period less fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligations is calculated annually by actuary through actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.
The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
-
(a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements; and
-
(b) Net interest expense or income
86
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit & loss.
Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from
-
(a) Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses
-
(b) Return on plan assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling
(c) Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling
are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in Other Comprehensive Income. Remeasurement are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates and employee and pensioner demographics. The Company determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency between some of the assumptions.
b) Defined-contribution plan:
Under defined contribution plans, provident fund, the Company pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any legal or informal obligation to pay additional sums. Defined Contribution plan comprise of contributions to the employees’ provident fund, superannuation fund and certain state plans. The Company’s payments to the defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses during the period in which the employees perform the services.
c) Other employee benefits:
-
(a) Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the obligation as at the Balance sheet date determined based on an actuarial valuation.
-
(b) Undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the period when the employee renders the related services.
13. Taxes on Income:
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.
Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is different from accounting profit due to temporary differences between accounting and tax treatments, and due to items that are never taxable or tax deductible. Tax provisions are included in current liabilities. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities are provided for in the tax charge. The Company offsets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and liabilities on net basis.
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. 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 tax assets are not recognised where it is more likely than the assets will not be realised in the future.
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.
87
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity. Minimum Alternative Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income-tax during the specified period.
14. Borrowing Costs:
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of Cost of that assets, during the period till all the activities necessary to prepare the Qualifying assets for its intended use or sale are complete. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.Borrowing cost include exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
15. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per shares are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
16. Leases:
As a Lessee:
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 straightline basis over the term of the lease.
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.

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
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. 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.
A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The re-measurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
17. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources or an obligation for which the future outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in financial statements.
C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On August 12, 2024 and September 09, 2024, MCA issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024 introducing following changes:
-
a) Ind AS 117 – Insurance Contracts: Ind AS 117: Insurance Contracts was introduced and Ind AS 104: Insurance Contracts was withdrawn. This was accompanied with consequent amendments in other standards.
-
b) Ind AS 116 – Leases: The amendments clarify accounting treatment for a seller lessee involved in sale and leaseback transactions and introduced some related illustrative examples.
The above standard are effective from April 01, 2024. The Company has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its financial statements.

D. Assumptions
With the objective of presenting the plan assets and plan liabilities of the defined benefits plans at their fair value on the balance sheet, assumptions under Ind AS 19 are set by reference to market conditions at the valuation date.
The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:
| As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 |
|
|---|---|
| Financial Assumptions | |
| Discount rate | 6.73% 7.19% |

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Note 45 : Financial instruments
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
-
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
-
Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments by category are as follows:
| Rs. in Lakhs | |
|---|---|
| Particulars | FVOCI FVTPL Amortised cost Total fair value Carrying amount |

C. Fair value estimation
For financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, a three level fair value hierarchy is used that reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
-
Level 1: quoted prices for identical instruments
-
Level 2: directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
-
Level 3: inputs which are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value, the classification of fair value calculations by category is summarised below:
| summarised below: | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particulars | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||

- - |
||
| March 31, 2024 | |||||
| Assets at fair value | - | - | - | ||
| Liabilities at fair value | - | 26.86 | - |
There were no significant changes in classification and no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy classifications of financial assets and financial liabilities during the years.
Note 46 : Financial risk factors
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans, borrowings, trade and other payables. The purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets, trade and other receivables and cash & cash equivalents derive their value directly from its operations.
The Company's activities exposes it to Liquidity Risk, Market Risk and Credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised as below
a) Liquidity risk
The risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash including availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations as and when due.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its short tem and long term liabilities as and when due. Anticipated future cash flows, undrawn committed credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to meet the liquidity requirements of the Company.
(i) Financing arrangements
The Company has access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:
| Rs. in Lakhs | ||

(b) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits , foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has foreign currency trade payables, receivables and borrowings and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rates have been volatile in the recent years and may continue to be volatile in the future. Hence the operating results and financials of the Company may be impacted due to volatility of the rupee against foreign currencies. The Company is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk due to their limited transaction in the foreign currency.

(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's long term borrowings have fixed rate of interest and are carried at amortised costs. The interest rate risk exposure is mainly from changes in fixed and floating interest rates. The interest rate are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statement of the Company. The following table analyse the breakdown of the financial liabilities by type of interest rate:

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial instruments.
To manage the credit risk from trade receivables, the Company periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of trade receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period.

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of 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 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 consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Sr. No | Key Audit Matters | Auditor’s response |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Inventory: As at March 31, 2025, the Group held inventories of Rs. 6,152.32 Lakhs. [Also, refer Note no. 9 of the consolidated fnancial statements] We identifed “inventory” as a key audit matter due to the materiality of the balance in the context of the consolidated fnancial statements, and the involvement of signifcant management judgement in estimating the net realizable value and ensuring appropriate measurement in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. |
Audit procedures performed: We performed the following procedures to address the key audit matter relating to the inventories: (a) Evaluated the design and tested the operating efectiveness of key internal controls related to inventory recording and valuation. (b)Performed analytical procedures to assess the movement in inventory balances and tested for any unusual trends or variances. (c) Assessed the appropriateness of the physical verifcation procedures conducted by the management. (d) Understanding of management’s process for identifying slow- moving and obsolete inventory and evaluating related provisions and assessed the design and tested the operating efectiveness of key controls over the inventory provisioning process. (e) On a sample basis, verifed the accuracy of inventory valuation by testing the cost of inventory (including raw materials and overheads) and comparing the carrying amounts to net realizable values, supported by recent selling prices and market data. Based on the procedures performed, we found the management’s assessment of inventory to be reasonable and in line with the applicable fnancial reportingframework. |

Audit procedures performed: Our audit procedures to evaluate the appropriateness of the trade receivables balance and the related ECL provision included: (a) Evaluated the design and implementation of internal controls over credit risk assessment and provisioning for doubtful debts. (b)Performed roll-forward procedures to test the accuracy and completeness of receivable balances between the date of confrmation and the balance sheet date. (c) Performed substantive analytical procedures and tested the ageing analysis of trade receivables.

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s report thereon
The Parent Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of other information. The Other information comprises the information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to the Board report, Corporate Governance report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Parent Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance (including other comprehensive income), consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 Directors of the Parent Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the Companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
124
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
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.
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the 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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are 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 Parent Company 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.
125
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other matters
We did not audit the financial statements of the subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements reflects total assets of Rs 861.04 lakhs as at March 31, 2025 (as at March 31, 2024 Rs 805.04 lakhs), total income of Rs 1547.48 lakhs, net profit and other comprehensive income of Rs 8.26 lakhs and net cash inflows of Rs 0.81 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2025 (total income of Rs 1526.79 lakhs, net profit and other comprehensive income of Rs 7.38 lakhs and net cash outflows of Rs 8.22 lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2024), as considered in the consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the subsidiary and our report in terms of sub-sections (3) and (11) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiary, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

B. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1 (a). Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements:
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs pursuant to Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’) read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and other related provisions of the Act.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and historical cost convention except for the following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by the relevant Ind AS:
(i) Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at Fair value (Refer note no.B.6)
- (ii) Defined benefit employee plan (Refer note no. B.12)
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non current as per the Group's normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Act.
(b). Principles of consolidation:
Subsidiary -
Subsidiary is an entity over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiary is fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. It is deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The group combines the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary line by line adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of the subsidiary have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Investment in associate -
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influences but not control or joint control. Investments in associate are accounted for using equity method accounting. Under the
132
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Thus, the proportionate interest in the associate has been considered for preparation of the aforesaid consolidated financial statements.
2. Use of Estimates and judgments:
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The recognition, measurement, classification or disclosure of an item or information in the financial statements is made relying on these estimates. The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the financial statements are continuously evaluated by the management and are based on historical experience and various other assumptions and factors (including expectations of future events) that the management believes to be reasonable under the existing circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.
Critical accounting judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty
The Group is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.
-
(a) Recognition and measurement of defined benefit obligations, key actuarial assumptions - Note no. - 42
-
(b) Estimation of useful life of the Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets - Note no. B.5
3. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are capitalized on the day they are ready for use and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumalated impairment losses, if any.
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring to the site on which it is located.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and that the cost of the item can be reliably measured.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Assets which are not ready for their intended use are disclosed under Capital Work-in-Progress.
4. Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
133
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
5. Depreciation and Amortization:
(a) Property plant and equipment (PPE)
Depreciation is provided on the straight line method applying the useful lives prescribed in part C of Schedule II to the Act,2013.
The range of estimated useful lives of Property, plant and equipments are as under:
Building (including roads) - 3 to 30 Years
Plant & Equipment - 10 to 15 Years Furniture & Fixtures - 5 to 10 Years Office Equipment - 5 Years Electrical Installations - 10 Years
Vehicles - 8 Years
Computers & Servers - 3 to 6 Years
(b) Intangible assets
Software is amortized over a period of 3 years
Royalty is amortised over a period of 5 years
Goodwill is impaired based on impairment testing and not amortised
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
6. Financial Instruments:
Financial assets - Initial recognition:
Financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. On initial recognition, a financial asset is recognised at fair value however, trade receivables that do not contain significant financing component are measured at transaction price (net of variable consideration). In case of Financial assets which are recognised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), its transaction costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. In other cases, the transaction costs are attributed to the acquisition value of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement:
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
-
amortised cost
-
fair value through profit & loss (FVTPL)
-
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
-
The above classification is being determined considering :
-
(a) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and
-
(b) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their recognition, except if and in the period, the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.
(i) Measured at amortised cost:
Financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost, if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
134
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
(ii) Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
Financial assets are measured at FVTOCI, if these financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows that give rise on specified dates to solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding and by selling financial assets. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On derecognition, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
(iii) Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):
Financial assets other than equity instrument are measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI on initial recognition. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Equity Instruments
All investments in equity instruments classified under financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are measured at FVTPL.For all other equity instruments, the Group may, on initial recognition, irrevocably elect to measure the same either at FVOCI or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Fair value changes on an equity instrument shall be recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss unless the Group has elected to measure such instrument at FVOCI. Fair value changes excluding dividends, on an equity instrument measured at FVOCI are recognised in the OCI. Amounts recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Dividend income on the investments in equity instruments are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss
Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. The credit loss is difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. This is assessed on an individual or collective basis after considering all reasonable and supportable including that which is forward looking.
The Group’s trade receivables or contract revenue receivables do not contain significant financing component and loss allowance on trade receivables is measured at an amount equal to life time expected losses i.e. expected cash shortfall, being simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance.
Under simplified approach, the Group does not track changes in credit risk. Rather it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on the lifetime ECL at each reporting date right from its initial recognition. The Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
For financial assets other than trade receivables, the Group recognises 12–months expected credit losses for all originated or acquired financial assets if at the reporting date the credit risk of the financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition. The expected credit losses are measured as lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on financial asset increases significantly since its initial recognition. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition, than the Group reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12 months ECL. The impairment losses and reversals are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. For financial assets measured at FVTPL, there is no requirement of impairment testing.

Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers rights to receive cash flows from an asset, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement.
In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Financial Liabilities
Initial Recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of transaction costs which are not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group’s financial liabilities includes trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.
Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at using EIR method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Loans & Borrowings
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit & Loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through EIR amortization process.
Financial Guarantee Contracts
Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that requires a payment to be made or to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee.
De-recognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of profit and loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

7. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
-
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, 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:
-
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
-
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
-
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 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.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
8. Inventories
Inventories includes Raw Materials, Work-in-Progress, Finished goods, Trade Goods, Stores & spares, Tools, Packing Materials are stated at cost and net realizable value whichever is lower.
Raw Materials, Stores & spares, Tools and Packing Materials
Cost include cost of purchases and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Work-in-Progress and Finished Goods
Work-in-progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of direct material, labour, other direct cost and a proportion of fixed manufacturing overheads allocated based on the normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Traded Goods
Stock in trade are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes cost of purchase and other direct costs incurred. Cost is determined on weighted average cost basis.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Adequate allowance is made for obsolete and slow moving items.

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
9. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and Cash equivalents include cash and cheque in hand, bank balances, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value where original maturity is three months or less.
10. Foreign Currency Transactions:
a) Initial Recognition
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
b) Measurement of Foreign Currency Items at the Balance Sheet Date
Foreign currency monetary items of the Group are restated at the closing exchange rates. Non monetary items are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising out of these transactions are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss
11. REVENUE RECOGNITION
REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Group recognizes revenue, whenever control over distinct goods or services is transferred to the customer; i.e. when the customer is able to direct the use of the transferred goods or services and obtains substantially all of the remaining benefits, provided a contract with enforceable rights and obligations exists and amongst others collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is the transaction price that the Group expects to be entitled to. In determining the transaction price, the Group considers effects of variable consideration, the existence of significant financing contracts, non-cash consideration. The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties etc.).
Variable Consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur once associated uncertainties are resolved. Some contracts with the customers provide them with a right to return and volume rebates. The right to return and volume rebates gives rise to variable consideration.The amount of variable consideration is calculated by either using the expected value or the most likely amount depending on which is expected to better predict the amount of variable consideration. Consideration is also adjusted for the time value of money if the period between the transfer of goods or services and the receipt of payment exceeds twelve months and there is a significant financing benefit either to the customer or the Group. If a contract contains more than one distinct goods or services, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative stand-alone selling prices. If stand-alone selling prices are not observable, the Group reasonably estimates those.
Revenue is recognized for each performance obligation either at a point in time or over time.
Sale of goods:
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the control of the goods passes to the buyer either at the time of dispatch or delivery or when the risk of loss transfers.
Revenue from sale of goods is net of taxes and recovery of charges collected from customers like transport, packing etc. Provision is made for returns when appropriate. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and is net of price discounts, allowance for volume rebates and similar items
138
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Claims / Refunds not ascertainable with reasonable certainty are accounted for, on final settlement and are recognized as revenue on certainty of receipt on prudent basis.
Rendering of services:
Revenue from sale of services are recognized when the services are rendered.
Other Income
Dividend income on investments is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established.
Interest income is recognized on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amounts invested and the rate of interest. For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income is recorded using the Effective interest rate method to the net carrying amount of the financial assets.
Contract balances:
Trade Receivables:
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only a passage of time is required to before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities:
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfer goods and services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is due, whichever is earlier. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
12. Employee Benefits:
The Group has provided following post-employment plans:
-
(a) Defined benefit plans such as gratuity and
-
(b) Defined contribution plans such as Provident fund & Superannuation fund
a) Defined-benefit plan :
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plan is the present value of defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period less fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligations is calculated annually by actuary through actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.
The Group recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
-
(a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements; and
-
(b) Net interest expense or income
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from
-
(a) Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses
-
(b) Return on plan assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling
-
(c) Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in Other comprehensive income. Re-measurement are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
139
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates and employee and pensioner demographics. The Group determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency between some of the assumptions.
b) Defined-contribution plan:
Under defined contribution plans, provident fund, the Group pays pre-defined amounts to separate funds and does not have any legal or informal obligation to pay additional sums. Defined Contribution plan comprise of contributions to the employees’ provident fund with the government, superannuation fund and certain state plans. The Group’s payments to the defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses during the period in which the employees perform the services.
c) Other employee benefits:
-
(a) Compensated absences which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related services are recognised as a liability at the present value of the obligation as at the Balance sheet date determined based on an actuarial valuation.
-
(b) Undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the period when the employee renders the related services
13. Taxes on Income:
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.
Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is different from accounting profit due to temporary differences between accounting and tax treatments, and due to items that are never taxable or tax deductible. Tax provisions are included in current liabilities. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities are provided for in the tax charge. The Group off-sets, the current tax assets and liabilities (on a year on year basis) where it has a legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the assets and liabilities on net basis.
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. 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 tax assets are not recognised where it is more likely than the assets will not be realised in the future.
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.
Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
Minimum Alternative Tax (‘MAT’) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income-tax during the specified period. The Group reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT credit entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Group will pay normal income-tax during the specified period.

SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
14. Borrowing Costs:
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of Cost of that assets, during the period till all the activities necessary to prepare the Qualifying assets for its intended use or sale are complete. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Borrowing cost include exchange difference arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
15. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per shares are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss after tax for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
16. Leases:
As a Lessee:
The Group 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 Group assesses whether:
-
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
-
(ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease; and
(iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group 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 Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
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. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Group changes its assessment if whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
141
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The re-measurement normally also adjusts the leased assets.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classified as financing cash flows.
17. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may probably not require an outflow of resources or an obligation for which the future outcome cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty. When there is a possible or a present obligation where the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in financial statements.
C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On August 12, 2024 and September 09, 2024, MCA issued the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2024 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2024 introducing following changes:
-
a) Ind AS 117 – Insurance Contracts: Ind AS 117: Insurance Contracts was introduced and Ind AS 104: Insurance Contracts was withdrawn. This was accompanied with consequent amendments in other standards.
-
b) Ind AS 116 – Leases: The amendments clarify accounting treatment for a seller lessee involved in sale and leaseback transactions and introduced some related illustrative examples.
The above standard are effective from April 01, 2024. The Group has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in its consolidated financial statements.

D. Assumptions
With the objective of presenting the plan assets and plan liabilities of the defined benefits plans at their fair value on the balance sheet, assumptions under Ind AS 19 are set by reference to market conditions at the valuation date.
The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:
| As at March 31, 2025 As at March 31, 2024 |
|
|---|---|
| Financial Assumptions | |
| Discount rate | 6.73% 7.19% |
| Salary Escalation Rate | 4.75% 4.75% |
| Demographic Assumptions | |
| Mortality in Service | IALM (2012-14) IALM (2012-14) |
| Mortality Rate | Urban Urban Indian Assured Indian Assured |
| Attrition Rate | Lives Mortality (2012 - 14) Lives Mortality (2012 - 14) 5% 5% |
| Retirement Age | For all age groups For all age groups 58 Years 58 Years |
E. Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the overall plan liabilities to changes in the weighted key assumptions are:
| Impact on | defned beneft | obligation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in | Increase in | Decrease in |
|
| assumption | assumption | assumption | |
| Discount rate | 1.00% | 68.03 | 77.07 |
| Salary Escalation Rate | 1.00% | 72.39 | 64.95 |
| Attrition Rate | 1.00% | 1.49 | 2.09 |
162
SIMMONDS MARSHALL LIMITED
The sensitivity analysis above have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period and may not be representative of the actual change. It is based on a change in the key assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. When calculating the sensitivity to the assumption, the same method used to calculate the liability recognised in the balance sheet has been applied. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change as compared with the previous period.

Note 44 : Financial instruments
-
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
-
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
-
Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
-
Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

C. Fair value estimation
For financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, a three level fair value hierarchy is used that reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
-
Level 1: quoted prices for identical instruments
-
Level 2: directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
-
Level 3: inputs which are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value, the classification of fair value calculations by category is summarised below:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2025 | |||
| Assets at fair value | - | - | - |
| Liabilities at fair value | - | 10.56 | - |
| March 31, 2024 | |||
| Assets at fair value | - | - | - |
| Liabilities at fair value | - | 26.86 | - |
There were no significant changes in classification and no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy classifications of financial assets and financial liabilities during the years.
Note 45: Financial risk factors
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans, borrowings, trade and other payables. The purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations and to provide support its operations. The Group’s principal financial assets, trade and other receivables and cash & cash equivalents derive their value directly from its operations.
The Group's activities exposes it to Liquidity Risk, Market Risk and Credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised as below
(a) Liquidity risk
The risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash including availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations as and when due.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by ensuring as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its short tem and long term liabilities as and when due. Anticipated future cash flows, undrawn committed credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to meet the liquidity requirements of the Group.
(i) Financing arrangements:
The Group has access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:

(b) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits , foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group has foreign currency trade payables, receivables and borrowings and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rates have been volatile in the recent years and may continue to be volatile in the future. Hence the operating results and financials of the Group may be impacted due to volatility of the rupee against foreign currencies. The Group is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risk due to their limited transaction in the foreign currency.

(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's long term borrowings have fixed rate of interest and are carried at amortised costs. The interest rate risk exposure is mainly from changes in fixed and floating interest rates. The interest rate are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statement of the Group. The following table analyse the breakdown of the financial liabilities by type of interest rate:

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial instruments.
To manage the credit risk from trade receivables, the Group periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of trade receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting period.
