Mr. Ramesh Suri

Chairman Emeritus

Those we love do not go away They walk besides us everyday

Our Founder Chairman Mr. Ramesh Suri was born in 1939 in Rawalpindi, Undivided India. He moved to New Delhi with his family in 1947 and started his journey as a young entrepreneur way back in 1960 as a retailer of vehicles. Over the years with sheer hard work, dedication and humility he grew to be one of India's most respected industrialist.

'Chairman', as he was respectfully addressed by all in the organisation, was a dynamic leader, an empathetic mentor, and a loyal friend with impeccable work discipline. He was one of the pioneers in the Indian Automotive Component Industry and his contributions are ingrained in the evolution of the Indian vehiclemanufacturing sector.

He established Subros Limited way back in 1985 as a Joint Venture between the Suri Family, DENSO Corporation, Japan and Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan. As Promoter and Co-founder of the Company he grew it to become one of India's largest maker of Automotive and Non-Automotive thermal products. His humility and positive attitude was the foundation of

his success. Chairman had the ability to view a business and a business issue both from a macro and distant perspective as well as dive into the ground or the root of the problem depending on the need of the business. He believed in long associations and deep-rooted relationships with all stakeholders, and that was, and will always remain, his biggest strength. His presence will be truly missed by all.

As one of the pioneers of Indian Auto component Industry, Chairman saw the evolution of the Indian vehicle-manufacturing sector over the last six decades. He contributed to this evolution through the manufacturing and the retail side of the industry both in his individual capacity as well as in his capacity as President of ACMA and Vice Chairman of CII UP Council.

The legacy of our Chairman will live on through his companies and the people he supported within them. As he always said, "Perfection is a never-ending journey." For him, perfection was a path in every aspect of his life. His legacy lives on in each one of us.

From the desk of the Chairperson & Managing Director

Dear Stakeholders,

The year gone by has been one of the toughest in 'Subros' history. The world was hit by COVID-19, a virus that not only impacted economic activity adversely, but has also been one of the severest humanitarian crisis witnessed by us. I extend my prayers to all impacted by this pandemic. Also, my deepest gratitude to all the frontline workers who have vested their lives, safety, and the safety of their loved ones to save the lives of all of us.

We lost our Founder-Chairman, Mr. Ramesh Suri, on May 12, 2021. Chairman succumbed to the virus despite fighting like a true samurai till the very end. He was not only the father of the Company; Chairman was the foundation of Subros. He is truly missed, and as the wise say, "those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday." We also lost 3 of our colleagues to the disease during this time and as a Company, we bow our heads in their honor. The Pandemic forced us to reset and re-calibrate, we all reinvented ourselves at various levels, as individuals, as families, and also as a Company. We learnt to do business differently. The world suddenly came closer together at a click of a button. We started working virtually, interacting with all stakeholders digitally, our children saw school go onto an online platform, and good and bad times were also shared in a virtual space. The silver lining is that we all have come out stronger, leaner, and definitely more connected with our families, with the Company, and the country.

We, as a Company, introduced and executed several measures in response to the pandemic. We made masks through our social initiatives and supplied them available to all. We worked with the local hospitals and State Governments to help arrange Oxygen supply; we initiated an aggressive vaccination drive across all plants for Company members and their families to gain access to the facility with ease. I am grateful and thankful to our teams who rose to this extreme situation and served Subros as true participants of the Company's core values.

Needless to say, Financial Year 2020-21, has been extremely

challenging. The sector was already reeling under a slow down from 2019-20. A slowing domestic economy, muted demand across other geographies, regulatory transitions, pricing pressures, and geo-political conflicts put our resilience to test. However, anchored to our core purpose of providing innovative thermal solutions, we leveraged our strategic strengths to become more lean, agile, and operationally fit amidst the intensifying storm. As always, the safety and well being of our people and their families remained, and will continue to remain, our priority.

Despite the set backs, the country's GDP stood at 7.3% in 2020-21. The auto sector declined by 13.6% over the previous year with PV sales declining by 2.24% and CV sales declining by 20.77%. Subros saw revenue at INR 1,796 Crore, 9.89% below the previous year despite Q1 being almost nil with regard to sales. We were able to close the year with a PBT of 3.11%, which is noteworthy given the circumstances. It is also imperative to note that there was no increase in debt despite a tough Q1, which not only impacted profits but also strained cash flows.

We were able to use this time to re-organise ourselves and plan for the long-term. We set ourselves the new long-term strategic intent 2025-26 focusing on growth, diversification, profitability, and people development. We constituted two committees. The Strategic Executive Committee (SEC), comprised of the senior

most personnel along with me and focused on Long term strategic initiatives, and the Operational Executive Committee (OEC) that comprised of the functional and division leaders and focused on operation excellence and execution of the set goals.

During the year, we invested in improving our processes according to the demands of the new normal. We delivered products in varying batches, facilitated improved cost structures, and aligned productivity. We remain confident that our recent capital expansion will help us steer growth and improve margins once volumes return in the industry. We smoothly transitioned into regulatory changes, including BSIV compliance the entailed change in product specifications. We have also started a phase-wise programme to roll out industry 4.0. It serves as a tool for a more effective and efficient way of conducting business with larger traceability.

Despite growing focus on technology, our people continue to be pivotal to our success and sustainability. We strive for a happy work environment that inspires talent to deliver their best on a daily basis. The aim is to try and be the best version of vourself. There is special focus on developing the skills of our teams via continuous engagement to build a collaborative work environment. Monozukuri or the art of production and DOJO or hands on training, are key to our DNA.

As we look ahead, we anticipate a tremendous deal of transformation stemming from COVID-19. Consumer behavior will change in numerous ways, from demanding more integrated digital experiences of mobility, to prioritising health and safety features across purchasing decisions. The move to 'slow' travel and personal (versus public and/or shared) transport may shape future demand for vehicles. The business model of an organisation will need to integrate environmental sustainability and climate resilience into the very core of the product and the technology that surrounds it.

Subros is well placed to meet the demand opportunities that will arise from these fundamental and important shifts. We will continue to manage and mitigate the evolving risk scenario in the business and deliver on sustainability commitments to create value for all stakeholders.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to all our customers for their trust and support. I am forever grateful to our partners, Suzuki Motor Corporation and DENSO Corporation, Japan. I thank our valuable Board for their guidance. All our supply partners, bankers and stakeholders. A special thank you for our Shareholders for their support and belief in the Company. Most importantly, every member of Team Subros for selflessly working to bring the Company and its people back to normalcy despite the various waves of the pandemic and its severe impact. I thank each of you for your continued trust, confidence, and support as we enter a brave new decade one that is already rewriting the rules of the past.

Stay safe and healthy.

Management Discussion and Analysis

1. Industry Outlook

FY 2020-21 has been one of the toughest years in the history of the Indian automotive industry. The global pandemic's impact on the country and the sector is unprecedented. The industry registered a steep decline as for almost the entire first quarter. With unlocking of the economy, vehicle sales witnessed improvement, month-on-month. As production increased, industry had to grapple with operational challenges like supply chain disruptions and labour unavailability in the first couple of months of rebooting. On the bright side, in the space of the last two quarters, the Indian automotive industry has witnessed V-shaped recovery.

The sale of passenger vehicles declined by 2.24% in FY 2020-211 over the same period last year. Amongst the various passenger vehicles industry sub-segments, the passenger car segment declined by 9.06%.1 The utility vehicle (UV) segment has outperformed the rest of the industry with 12.13% growth1.

The passenger vehicles segment is expected to show strong growth post recovery. Mobility preferences for personal mode of transport are also expected to have a significant impact on demand. Segment downgrade likely by buyers, as consumers that buy passenger vehicle may go one segment, one vertical lower. However, there will be challenges given the uncertainty of the pandemic and its implications on the supply chain. It may take couple of years for us to recover to the peak levels of 2018-19.

Commercial vehicles were one of the worst-hit vehicles in terms of sales in the pandemic-impacted year when non-essential economic activities including infrastructure development and construction, and public transportation remained suspended for the substantial part of the year. However, tracing a similar graph like passenger vehicle segment, commercial vehicle segment too showed a strong resurgence in fourth quarter of 2020-21.

The second wave of the corona virus has hit India. Our nation is passing through a very tough time. The country's economy and entire industrial segments are reeling under the effects of the pandemic, so is the automotive industry. Yet to recover from the 18-month long slowdown even in March, the industry is beset with problems of economic uncertainty, challenges of transition to BS-VI norms, pandemic-induced lockdown, supply chain constraints, and labour migration.

The FY 2020-21 was a tough year for Indian economy. Following a 23.9% collapse in the economy between April to June 2020 period, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) fell by 7.5% in the second quarter2. After two consecutive quarters of contraction, India's GDP grew by 0.4 percent in quarter 3. GDP shrank by 7.3% in 2020- 21, compared to a growth rate of 4.2% in 2019-202.

The nation-wide lockdown brought economic activity to a near standstill in first quarter. The most impacted subsectors included aviation and tourism, hospitality, trade, and construction. Industrial activity was also deeply disrupted by mobility restrictions.

  • 1.1 India's GDP growth rate for FY 2021-22 is estimated in a range of 7.5% to 9% by various rating agencies3. Growth estimate for FY 2021-22 will depend on how the ongoing vaccination campaign proceeds; whether new restrictions to mobility are required, and how quickly the world economy recovers. Going forward, the main risks to the outlook include the materialisation of financial sector hurdles and new waves of COVID-19 infections. This could compromise a recovery in private investment.
  • 1.2 The automotive industry plays an important role in India's GDP growth. It has a strong multiplier effect and is capable of being the driver of economic growth. India has the distinct global advantage of being the high quality, low-cost producer of auto components. Consequently, India is seen as a major sourcing hub for auto components by developed economies. Almost every global auto major has set up facilities in the country, making Indian automotive industry one of the most competitive in the world. Therefore, long- term growth potential for the Indian auto component industry is promising.
  • 1.3 The automobile industry continues to expect tepid demand in near term as it is believed that normalcy in businesses may not be restored immediately. The spread of the virus and containment measures have severely disrupted supply and demand conditions. Recovery will be dependent on several factors like buying sentiment due to the second wave of the corona virus, speed of vaccination, new waves, restrictions on mobility, and supply chain constraints.
  • 1.4 Rural demand is expected to fuel growth in automotive sector outperforming the urban market. Agriculture is the only sector to have clocked a positive growth of 3.4% in 2020-213. More and more OEMs are witnessed to dive deeper into the rural markets and pull new levers: hosting car fairs, setting up dealerships, sending travelling salesmen and tailoring financing options. Industry is expected to pickup in quarter three of financial year.
  • 1.5 In a post-COVID-19 environment, the entry-level hatchback segment, national scrappage policy, and new launches are expected to drive sales. Emission and safety regulations will also influence purchase criteria in the near term.
  • 1.6 The overall Commercial Vehicles segment registered a de-growth of 20.77% in FY 2020-21 as compared to the same period last year. Into the further segmentation, the passenger-carrying M&HCVs (buses) recorded an 81.70 % YoY drop, while goods carriers were down 16.84%1.
  • 1.7 The Government aims to develop India as a global manufacturing, and a research and development hub. It has set up National Automotive Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) centers, and a National

19

Automotive Board to act as facilitator between the Government and the industry.

1.8 The automotive industry is already feeling the effects of electrification or e-mobility, both globally, and in India before COVID-19 outbreak. We need to wait for next move in this transformation. We believe that there would be review of this changeover; and in the light of current circumstances, few years of delay in pace of electrification in industry.

2. Financial & Operational Performance

  • 2.1 Net sales have decreased to INR 1,795.65 crores in 2020-21 as compared to last year's figure of INR 1,992.80 crores; registering a decline of 9.89%. The operational profit (EBIDTA) has been impacted by country wide lockdown which brought production activity to standstill in first quarter. The Company has taken various strategic initiatives and austerity measures to improve profitability. As a direct consequence, the Company was able to arrest expenditure albeit with drop in profitability (PBT) to 3.11% in 2020-21, significantly reduced as compared to profitability (PBT) of 6.21% in the previous year.
  • 2.2 The Company had complete business disruption during first quarter of the year, shutting down production at all plant location during this period. The subsequent months brought new challenges as industry began to recover. Some of these included responsiveness to customer demand, supply chain disruptions, high pressure on margins and adjusting to the new normal.
  • 2.3 Your Company successfully navigated the crises through organisational resilience, agility and adaptability. At the heart of it are our people, supported by enabling processes and technologies. We have brought a complete paradigm shift and transformed our business operations. Our core values of Respect, Passion & Commitment, Trust and Team Work have been pivotal in our recovery.
  • 2.4 Commercial Vehicle segment is going through a big transformation. The regulatory introduction of Blowers in Truck application has opened up a new business avenue for the Company. Customer preference for Air-Conditioned trucks has started showing marked increase. There is significant impact on Truck ROI when running per day is increased due to driver comfort is taken care of business development activities with all OEM's show healthy progress. We see a good future of this segment for the Company.
  • 2.5 Business expansion in Railways and Bus Air-conditioning is progressing on track. This year, the Company is gearing up to expand customer portfolio. The Government's decision to replace all diesel engines with electric ones will serve as a boost for the business. The Company has developed an electric kit for electric engines and has emerged as a strong contender in the segment. As part of the long-term strategy, a foray into the Coach AC segment is on the anvil. The production of Coach AC units based on customer approvals shall start within next

year. Product development activities are in progress for this new segment.

  • 2.6 The Company's decision to expand business in Home AC domain has resulted in substantial growth opportunities for the Company. This is also one of de-risking aspect for the Company performance from vulnerable performance of auto sector. The business development activities and product development activities are in place as per market demand. Nalagarh, Himachal Pradesh plant was completed and production commenced. At present the Company is planning to utilise the plant to its full capacity in view of new businesses awarded and businesses in pipeline.
  • 2.7 The Company faced challenge of raw material prices going up because of high commodity cost pressure and appreciation in foreign exchange rates. Metal prices increased substantially in FY 2020-21. Foreign exchange rates of USD/INR and JPY/INR also witnessed a new high further impacting input cost. To mitigate the risk your Company has taken various cost saving measures which resulted in some comfort by offsetting input cost.
  • 2.8 Imports would continue be challenge for the Company in view of volatility in foreign exchanges and also fluctuations in geo-political environment. On the other hand, this is an opportunity for us to push localisation in India and become self-sufficient to meet our demand. The Company continued its efforts to improve localisation of imported parts. Various VA/VE activities were initiated along with active participation of suppliers to improve efficiency of operations. This has contributed greatly in reduction of material cost and exposure to foreign exchange fluctuation. Few major localisation projects are in implementation stage.

  • (iii) better management of funds and repayment of loans.

3. Research & Development

3.1 The industry is now entering into a new era of technology upgrade and regulatory changes. Each regulatory upgrade calls for product level changes and stricter validation of products. The Company is upgrading the R&D facilities and skill set to meet this requirement and is engaged in

the same with the help of our technology partner DENSO Corporation, Japan.

  • 3.2 In view of "Make in India" moment, the Company is focussing on "Design in India" and "Manufacturing in India." Under these programs, strong support of DENSO Japan and DENSO Subros Design Engineering Centre (DSEC) is being taken towards localising the design activities and developing local skills to design Indian and global design products.
  • 3.3 Localisation is the key thrust for the Company in view of de-risking ourselves from logistic disruption and foreign exchange volatility. Subros has achieved localisation level of above 80% in all products.
  • 3.4 As India moves towards increasing "green" standards, roadmaps for future technologies are focused towards making energy-efficient and environment-friendly products. Our dedicated teams work proactively towards meeting these anticipated requirements through advanced technologies. Additionally, the Company is happy to have the expertise of collaborators for meeting product demands.
  • 3.5 As the technology revolution is evolving the industry, we are continuously bringing new technologies to the domestic market to meet customer requirements. After a successful launch of the new heat exchangers REC (Regional Efficiency Condenser) and RER (Regional Efficient Radiator), the Company has launched new Vane Rotary Compressor last year. Now the upgrade to Vane Rotary Compressor is the introduction of new series, SVE08. It is being launched for the latest models of Maruti Suzuki. These series of compressors are light in weight and have high performance.

4. Information Technology

  • 4.1 Business transformation through digital transformation is a long-term mission of the the Company. Information Technology (IT) will play an important role in business continuity. Both hardware infrastructure and application upgrade are key initiatives to make Information Technology as pivot tool to business operations. Subros has envisaged long-term IT strategy roadmap based on latest developments in field of Information Technology. Infrastructure, application support, data management, security management, and skill competency are major pillars of this roadmap.
  • 4.2 With the occurrence of COVID, the industry is moving into new normal. Virtual platforms are gaining its importance in day-to-day operations of the Company. The critical significance of IT was felt during this time.
  • 4.3 A large number of initiatives have been undertaken to address the risk identified under each aspect of moving into the virtual world. Substantial investments have been made in advanced IT tools to enhance the Information Security capabilities. Subros also has a clear roadmap for each of the aspects mentioned. Disaster Recovery (DR) has been given significant attention considering the growing dependence on IT systems. The Company is also

working on Information Security and Disaster Recovery Management System by improving the hardware architecture.

4.4 Risk of unprecedented threats to internet connected devices, and data security is a growing concern. The rise in global hacking incidents indicates increase in cyber-attacks. The Company has taken cognizance of vital aspects, such as locations of information storage, how to move it, access controls, and systems of data processing. In addition, sufficient measures have been taken to safeguard crucial databases.

5. Internal Controls and their Adequacy

  • 5.1 Subros believes that internal control is one of the key pillars of governance. It provides freedom to the management within a structure of appropriate checks and balances. The Company has a robust internal control framework, which has been instituted due to the nature, size, and risks in the business. The framework comprises, inter alia, a well-defined organisation structure, roles and responsibilities, documented policies and procedures, financial delegation of authority, etc. Information Technology (IT) policies and processes also ensure that they mitigate the current business risks. These policies are complimented by a management information and monitoring system ensuring compliance with internal processes, as well as with applicable laws and regulations.
  • 5.2 The Company's internal control environment warrants efficient conduct of operations, security of assets, prevention and detection of frauds/ errors, accuracy and completeness of accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information. The Company uses SAP—an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software—as its core IT system. The systems and processes are continuously improved by adopting best in class processes, automation, and implementation of the latest IT tools. The operating management is not only responsible for revenue and profitability, but also for maintaining financial and commercial discipline.
  • 5.3 The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, comprising of independent directors and functions, regularly reviews audit plans, significant audit findings, adequacy of internal controls, compliance with accounting standards, etc. The documentation of major business processes and testing, including, financial closing, computer controls, and entity level controls, is executed as part of the compliance programme.

6. Risks, Concerns, Opportunities and Threats

6.1 Enterprise Risk Management framework is the fundament of risk management at Subros. As the business is exposed to many risks (external and internal), the Company has assessed such risk as a proactive measure and has made mitigation plans against high-risk areas. Since this is an ongoing activity, periodic re-assessment to such risks is being done based on geo-political and economic environmental changes.

21

  • 6.2 New players have entered the industry, while existing competitors have stepped up their expansion plans. Naturally, the intensity of competition, in almost all the segments of the Indian automotive market, has gone up exponentially. The Company is aware of heightened competition and is taking adequate measures to remain competitive in the market place.
  • 6.3 In view of economic disruptions, Subros continues to face strong competitive pressures from both, domestic, and overseas suppliers. It is also susceptible to financial risk from volatility in interest, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. As a result, implementation of processes to sustain cost efficiencies are brought into the system and capacity expansion is being planned to address these changing patterns.
  • 6.4 To counter these risks, Subros continues to broaden its product portfolio, increase customer profile, and geographic reach. Keeping this in mind, the Company has ambitious expansion plans to explore the Commercial Vehicle segment such as Bus Aircon, Railways, Refrigerated Trucks, and Engine Cooling Module. This will enable de-risking, and a reduction of dependency on the Passenger Car segment.

7. Human Resources

  • 7.1 Human Resources at Subros continued to play a pivotal role in managing, guiding, and motivating the Company's workforce.
  • 7.2 Observing future technological advancement and enhanced customer preferences, employee capacity, and capability are key challenges. Building organisational capability through the development of human capital continues to be an area of strategic focus. With the launch of new programmes for employees, Subros is keeping pace with the changes in the use of technology in education.
  • 7.3 The Company culture endorses the use of latest technology and diverse learning opportunities to motivate its people, the leadership focuses immensely on employee welfare and promotes a culture of healthy work-life balance, along with empowerment and liberty to function.
  • 7.4 There is an additional focus on leadership development at senior level and mid-level to ensure Subros is "Future Ready" organisation. Many programs are designed to ensure this roadmap.
  • 7.5 The way forward is through concrete steps for employee engagement and motivation. The Company has enlisted services of professional firms for assessing and improving employee effectiveness scores. These are assessed through annual surveys leading to focus on refining employee policy deployment and engagement, and strengthening various areas of employee satisfaction.
  • 7.6 For Human Resource Development, the Company has setup DOJO centers in plant locations, i.e., Noida, Manesar, Pune, Karsanpura, and Chennai. The training

is imparted to the local community for industrial experience. The Company has trained over 6000 young people through skill development at these plants.

7.7 'Corona virus' second wave left the entire country devastated and at workplace too, mental health and team morale have been more fragile than ever before. Your Company undertook several steps for ensuring health and safety of all employees. Sanitization & fumigation drive for all plants, compulsory screening of all employees entering company, encouraging work from home to avoid spreading of virus and conducting vaccination drive at plant locations are few of many steps taken by company. Company achieved complete vaccination coverage across locations as first dose of vaccination is administered to all employees.

8. Marketing

  • 8.1 Customer expectation is ever-changing and the Company has to align to such requirement and exceed the expectation. Customer delight is key strategic initiative by Subros. The Company is focusing on enhancing customer satisfaction through QCDD (Quality, Cost, Delivery, and Development) parameters. The strong belief maintained is that with higher customer satisfaction, the market leadership position can be retained in the long term.
  • 8.2 As part of risk management framework, leveling dependency on one single segment is important action decided by the Company. Business expansion in non-car area and enhancement of value-added products is the key agenda. As these segments also have tremendous potential, the Company has augmented resources to acquire market share in the same.
  • 8.3 Developing business in Home Air-Con market is another key initiative of the Company. Product development and business development activities are in place and we have a good order booking situation here.
  • 8.4 Business engagement with the customers to secure future businesses and aligning product development, program management, and capacities across all geographical location is key priority for Subros. Significant progress is happening in this area.

9. Product Range

  • 9.1 Subros is operating in wide range of products, which include complete thermal solution for cars, buses, refrigeration vehicles, railways, home AC's, tractors, and trucks. The Company is the only backwardintegrated business for all Air-Conditioning systems and components in the country. Due to strong Research and Development capabilities, the products are developed based on emergent needs of customers.
  • 9.2 Intrinsic to the core of Company philosophy, products are created to not only address the requirements of the future, but are also green and sustainable. Company has a strong belief in scaling up the business in tandem with accountability towards the environment. This propels Subros on the path of excellence.

10. Corporate Social Responsibility

  • 10.1 Empowering women for self-entrepreneurship and developing skills for financial independence, the Company is running a skill development center at a village in Manesar. Subros has provided infrastructure and imparted training to several village women in the vicinity.
  • 10.2 The Company has adopted schools around the vicinity of plants and provides improved education. The local communities welcome this initiative. Key focus at this stage is to improve the infrastructure of schools and also improve the quality of education in the schools. With collaboration of Step by Step education society, many such initiatives are deployed and successfully implemented to these areas.
  • 10.3 The Company has partnered with local NGOs under the umbrella programme of CSR for community development and upskilling of human resources by supporting education and socio-psychological well-being of children of incarcerated parents.

11. Roadmap for Future

  • 11.1 Subros anticipates a tremendous deal of transformation stemming from COVID-19. Consumer behavior will change in numerous ways, from demanding more integrated digital experiences of mobility, to prioritising health and safety features across purchasing decisions. The business model of an organisation will need to integrate environmental sustainability and climate resilience into the very core of the product and the technology that surrounds it.
  • 11.2 Future readiness will remain our key theme. Agility, innovation in technology, future ready product portfolio, product quality, and manufacturing excellence will remain focus areas of the company. Operational Executive Committee (OEC) that comprises of the functional and division leaders is focussed on operation excellence and execution of the set goals.
  • 11.3 The Company has set the new long-term strategic intent 2025-26 concentrating on growth, diversification, profitability, and people development. Aggressive plans in existing segments and also expansion in new products are key to the strategy.
  • 11.4 The global outlook remains subject to significant downside risks, including the possibility of additional COVID-19 waves and financial stress. The Company has put in place aggressive localisation plans and VAVE plans in order to mitigate economic climate volatility and uncertainty.
  • 11.5 Subros will keep ensuring safety and health of employees at workplace. The Company will continue align with government and health authorities' policies to help employees remain engaged as they and the organisation navigate through the crisis.

12. Mid-Term and Long-Term Plan

  • 12.1 The Company is focusing on sustaining and further improving the performance for mid-term and long-term strategies. Several new product development and new technology development projects are underway. Subros has developed rail coach AC, electric bus AC, battery and thermal management kit. The Company has also developed new technology vane rotary compressors and is gearing up to introduce these products in their respective market segments.
  • 12.2 Subros is working aggressively to enhance product portfolio for the commercial vehicle segment. Radiator for the segment is already developed and its market development is in process. Besides this, probable introduction of Air-Conditioning systems, in the future, will certainly add to revenues in subsequent years.
  • 12.3 Sustained efforts are also being made in area of learning and development for competency improvement for shortterm and long-term skills.
  • 12.4 The Company has adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Projects for realisation of SDG are identified and under execution.
  • 12.5 With Covid-19 cases steadily declining and states embracing unlocking, a possible third wave has entered in scientific and public discourse. Impact of a third wave will largely depend on vaccination coverage. However, for Subros, the impact would not be so significant due to our de-risking strategy adopted five years ago. Few sectors like railways, home AC, and bus AC are not expected to perform the way other sectors are predicted. We anticipate a better positioning in these markets, which will cushion the impact on our business.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The net revenue from operations for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 is Rs. 1795.65 crores as against Rs. 1992.80 crores in the previous financial year. However, the Net Profit before tax is Rs. 55.73 crores as compared to Rs. 123.68 crores in the previous financial year.

The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has created economic disruption throughout the world including India. The Company and its joint venture's operations have been adversely impacted due to the consequent lockdown announced by the Government of India due to which the operations were suspended for part of the first quarter and gradually resumed with requisite precautions.

The Company and its joint venture have considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021. While assessing the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, the Company and its joint venture have considered internal and external information available, and based on such information and assessment, have concluded that no further adjustments are required to be made to these consolidated financial results. However, given the evolving scenario and uncertainties with respect to nature and duration, the impact of the pandemic may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial results. The Company and its joint venture will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

The performance of the Company is also discussed in Management Discussion and Analysis, as stipulated under Regulation 34 of the Listing Regulations with the Stock Exchanges, which forms part of the Directors' Report.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The effect of Covid-19 was felt on the Company's operations during first quarter of the financial year. However, recovery was seen in the passenger car segment in second quarter followed by recovery in truck segment. Bus AC segment did not show much demand throughout the year mainly due to lack of demand of staff buses, due to extended work from home for the most industries specially IT and ITES & closure of schools and less demand for the tourist buses. However, Air-conditioners for ambulances did show demand coming in during financial year.

The second wave of Covid-19 is likely to have impact on most of the vehicle segments in first quarter of financial year 2021- 22, but situation is likely to improve from second quarter onwards in passenger car segment provided pandemic does not lead to repeat & extended market lockdowns. However, CV segment specially the passenger carriers (buses) may perform similar to financial year 2020-21, due to continued subdued demand for staff buses, school buses and tourist buses due to covid impact. Truck segment may perform similar to financial year 2020-21, though second Covid-19 wave impact and duration would certainly have some impact to this segment also. Railway segment is likely to perform similar to the financial year 2020-21, although demand for rail coaches and suburban air conditioned trains might be slightly lesser than financial year 2020-21, due to focus on railways for supporting the pandemic related essential goods movement

during early part of financial year 2021-22. Performance of Home AC segment in financial year 2021-22, would also depend on the market lockdowns and consumer sentiments due to second wave and may impact peak summer season sales in first quarter and might perform similar to financial year 2020-21.

EXPANSION AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

During the year, the Company is planning for capacity enhancement at Karsanpura plant in line with the manufacturing plans of new models by the OEMs, along with continued focus on localization and cost optimization activities. The research and development activities shall continue to focus on new product development and new product introduction in Electric & Hybrid vehicles, Passenger vehicles, Commercial vehicles, Off-road vehicles and product range expansion in Home AC and Railway segments.

The Board has recommended a dividend of Rs. 0.70 per share (35% on the face value of equity shares of Rs. 2 each) for the financial year ended March 31, 2021, as against Rs. 0.80 per share (40% on the face value of equity shares of Rs. 2 each) in the previous year.

The dividend, if approved by the Members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting, shall absorb a sum of Rs. 456.65 Lakhs (approx).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2021, and total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for opinion

  1. 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 Standalone 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of matter

  1. We draw your attention to Note 39 to the standalone financial statements, which describes the management's assessment of the impact of outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on the business operations of the Company. The management believes that no adjustments, other than those already considered, are required in the standalone financial statements, however, in view of the highly uncertain economic environment, a definitive assessment of the impact on subsequent periods is highly dependent upon circumstances as they evolve. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the standalone financial statements

    1. 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, 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.
    1. 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements

  1. 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.

    1. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  2. 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.
  3. 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 with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  4. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  5. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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.
  6. 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.
    1. 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.

    1. 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.
    1. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

    1. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2016 ("the Order"), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the Annexure B a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

  • (b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of those books.
  • (c) The Balance Sheet, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including other comprehensive income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books of account.
  • (d) In our opinion, the aforesaid standalone financial statements comply with the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act.

Statutory Reports

Annexure A to Independent Auditor's Report

Referred to in paragraph 15(f) of the Independent Auditor's Report of even date to the members of Subros Limited on the standalone financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021

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

  1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Subros Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

  1. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (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

    1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note 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 the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
    1. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
    1. 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 with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

  1. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

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

Opinion

  1. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Also refer paragraph 4 of the main audit report.

2. Basis of preparation, key accounting estimates and judgments and significant accounting policies

2(a). Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS

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

(ii) Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except for certain items that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies.

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

(iii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The Company has applied the following amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing April 01, 2020:

  • Definition of Material amendments to Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 8
  • Definition of a Business amendments to Ind AS 103
  • COVID-19 related concessions amendments to Ind AS 116
  • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform amendments to Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 107

The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.

2(b). Key accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of the changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the significant effect to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is included in other notes to the financial statements as mentioned below:

  • a. Measurement of employee defined benefit obligations – Refer note 28
  • b. Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies – Refer note 26
  • c. Recognition of deferred tax assets Refer note 6
  • d. Estimation of provision for warranty Refer note 12
  • e. Estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets – Refer note 3 & 4

2(c). Significant accounting policies

i) Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of items. The cost of self-generated assets comprises of raw material, components, direct labour, other direct cost and related production overheads. Such assets are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant

and equipment recognized as at April 01, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying values as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the below mentioned assets where useful life is determined through technical evaluation and is different than those prescribed in schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Plant and machinery : 5-20 years

The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the assets. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses in disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within gains/(losses).

ii) Intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognized if and only if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Separately purchased intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date they are available for use. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Technical knowhow : 8 years
Product development : 8 years
Software : 3 years

The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Product development costs are capitalized when technical and commercial feasibility of the products (e.g. air conditioning systems and related products) is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the product and the cost can be measured reliably, in other cases such development costs are taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its intangible assets at the Previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e., April 1, 2016.

iii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

iv) Investment in Joint Venture

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

v) Inventories

Raw material and spares, work in progress, stores and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw materials and spares and stores comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-inprogress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

vi) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other shortterm, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

vii) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:

  • amortized cost or
  • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or
  • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

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

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • − the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • − the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI – equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial
assets
at
amortized cost
These assets are subsequently measured
at amortized cost using the effective
interest method. The amortized cost
is reduced by impairment losses, if
any. Interest income, foreign exchange
gains and losses and impairment
are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain
or loss on derecognition is recognized in
profit or loss.

Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition:

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its Balance Sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial Statements

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is at amortized cost. Loss allowance in respect of financial assets is measured at an amount equal to life time expected credit losses and is calculated as the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Offsetting:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

viii) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

ix) Borrowing cost

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which these are incurred.

x) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax discounting rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

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

No contingent asset is recognized but disclosed by way of notes to accounts. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.

xi) Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency:

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is Subros Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates

of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

xii) Revenue recognition and other income

A. Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract with customers, net of returns, rebates and discounts. Revenue excludes Goods & Services Tax, where applicable on the supply of goods and services.

The Company recognizes revenue when the Company performs its obligations to its customers and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and recovery of the consideration is probable and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities as described below:

a) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells auto-air conditioning system primarily in the domestic market. Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods are dispatched / delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the goods, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the customer location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract.

The goods are sold to after-market customers with rebates / discounts based on sales targets over a 12 months period. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated rebates / discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates / discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with credit terms, which vary from 30 days to 60 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Company's obligation to repair or replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision, see note 12.

Statutory Reports

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered and accepted by the Customer as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

A contract liability is recognized where payments received from the customers exceed the goods sold by the Company.

b) Sale of services

Corporate Overview

Income from services rendered is recognized based on agreements/arrangements with the customers on the performance of service. Revenue from services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised to the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

If the services rendered by the Company exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

c) Financing component

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

B. Other income

Income from duty drawback and export incentives is recognized on an accrual basis.

Interest is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, as income for the period in which it occurs.

Dividend income on investments is recognized when the right to receive dividend is established.

xiii) Employee Benefits

a. Short term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

b. Post-employment obligations

Provident fund and Employees' state insurance:

Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as Provident fund and Employees' state insurance are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The Company pays provident fund contribution to government-administered provident fund. The above

benefits are classified as defined contribution schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Superannuation:

Certain employees of the Company are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Company has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed towards trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life insurance companies.

Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual contributions made towards the trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

c. Compensated absences:

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

xiv) Leases

As a lessee

Leases are recognized as right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the Company is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities includes the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
  • amount expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees
  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company obtains the interest rate from its bankers for borrowings for a tenure that is substantially similar to the lease terms, with a similar security and the similar economic environment for leases held by the Company.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
  • any initial direct costs, and
  • restoration costs.

Financial Statements

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life. Lowvalue assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Payments associated with short term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in Statement of Profit and Loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective lease assets are included in balance sheet based on their nature. The Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as result of adopting the new standard.

xv) Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the standalone financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiary and joint venture where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiary and joint venture where it is not probable that the differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current tax and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as deferred tax asset only to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of MAT credit to be utilized during the specified period i.e., the period for which such credit is allowed to be utilized.

xvi) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.

xvii) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

xviii) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

a) the profit attributable to owners of the Company

b) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • a) the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
  • b) the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

xix) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

xx) Segment Reporting

The Company is primarily in the business of manufacturing of thermal products (Automotive air conditioning systems and parts thereof) for automotive applications.

The Board of Directors of the Company, which has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker (CODM), evaluates the Company's performance, allocate resources based on the analysis of the various performance indicator of the Company as a single unit. Refer note 23 for segment information presented.

xxi) Government grants

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented as net of the related expense.

xxii) Rounding of amounts

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

In the financial year 2019-20, the tax laws were amended, providing an option to pay tax at 22% plus applicable surcharge and cess ("New Rate") effective April 1, 2019, with a condition that the Company will need to surrender specified deductions / incentives. Based on the assessment of future taxable profits, the Company decided to continue with the rate of 30% plus applicable surcharge and cess until the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit asset balance is utilised and opt for the New Rate thereafter. The Company re-measured its deferred tax balances accordingly.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

There has been no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 for the years ended March 31,2021 and March 31, 2020.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value : The Company has entered into variety of foreign currency forward contracts and swaps to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These financial exposures are managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques based on information derived from observable market data. Further, Investment in equity shares included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been valued using the income approach to arrive at their fair value. In this approach the discounted cash flow method is used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of this investment.

All short term financial assets and liabilities like trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposit with banks, trade payables, capital creditors, security deposit received, payable to employees are stated at amortized cost which is approximately equal to their fair value.

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows, using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return, adjusted for the credit spread considered by the lenders for instruments of similar maturity.

The fair value of loans to employees and security deposits are calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of all the amounts that the Company could have realized or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, the fair value of the financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each year end.

22(b). Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures and interest rate swaps to hedge variable interest rate exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

The regulations, instructions, implementation rules and in particular, the regular communication throughout the tightly controlled management process consisting of planning, controlling and monitoring collectively form the risk management system used to define, record and minimize operating, financial and strategic risks. The note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risks :

Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations towards the Company and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and deposits with banking institutions. The maximum amount of the credit exposure is equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables.

For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted. The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. Primary banking institutions are major Indian and foreign banks. In long term credit ratings these banking institutions are considered to be investment grade. Also, no impairment loss has been recorded in respect of fixed deposits that are with recognized commercial banks and are not past due.

The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. The Company's primary customers are major Indian automobile manufacturers and Air-conditioner manufacturer (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Non-OEM clients are subjected to credit assessments as a precautionary measure, and the adherence of payment due dates is closely monitored on an on-going basis for all customers, thereby practically eliminating the risk of default.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty, fails to make contractual payments within the agreed number of days of when they fall due. This definition is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors. The Company's historical experience of collecting receivables, supported by the level of default, is that credit risk is low. All customer balances which are overdue for more than 180 days are evaluated for provisioning and considered for impairment on an individual basis. The customer balances are written-off as bad debts, when legal remedies available to the Company are exhausted and / or it becomes certain that said balances will not be recovered.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk encompasses any risk that the Company cannot fully meet its financial obligations. To manage the liquidity risk, the Company's finance division monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet the operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. The Company raises short term rupee borrowings for cash flow mismatches and hence carries no significant liquidity risk.

(iii) Price risk

Fluctuation in commodity price in global market affects directly and indirectly the price of raw material and components used by the Company in its various products segment. Due to the competitive market, major OEMs demands price cuts which in turn may affect the profitability of the Company.

The Company has arrangements with its major customers for passing on the price impact. The Company is regularly taking initiatives like VA VE (value addition, value engineering) to reduce its raw material costs to meet targets set up by its customers for cost downs. In respect of customer nominated parts, the Company has back to back arrangements for cost savings with its suppliers.

22(c). Capital management

The Company's objective when managing capital are to:

  • a) safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
  • b) maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors Net Debt to EBIDTA ratio i.e., Net Debt (total borrowings and lease liabilities net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by EBIDTA (Profit before tax plus depreciation and amortization expense plus finance cost).

The Company strategy is to ensure that the Net Debt to EBITDA is managed at an optimal level considering the above factors. The Net Debt to EBIDTA ratios were as follows:

* Included in "Contribution to provident and other funds" in Note 18.

Defined benefit plans and other long term benefits

a) Contribution to gratuity funds - The Company provides for gratuity for employees as per The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity.

The gratuity plan is a funded plan and Company makes contribution to recognized funds in India.

b) Leave encashment/compensated absence - The leave obligations cover the Company's liability for earned leave, sick leave and casual leave. The entire amount of the provisions of Rs. 331.69 Lakhs (March 31, 2020: Rs. 621.95 Lakhs) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

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

Investment risk

The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Interest risk

The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.

Longevity risk

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

Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

The principal assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

PARTICULARS Gratuity (Funded)
As at March 31, 2021
Discount rate (per annum) 6.88%
Rate of increase in compensation level (per annum) 7.00%
As at March 31, 2020
Discount rate (per annum) 6.75%
Rate of increase in compensation level (per annum) 7.00%

Estimate of future increases considered in actuarial valuation takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

Sensitivity analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of employee defined benefit obligation using projected unit credit method are discount rate and expected salary growth rate. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes in respective assumption occurring at the end of reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material and hence impact of change not calculated. The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

36. Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of Ind AS 116, Leases on the Company's financial statements.

Impact on the financial statements - lease accounting

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 retrospectively from April 01, 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the year ended March 31, 2019, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet as on April 01, 2019.

The new accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2(c)(xiv).

On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of Ind AS 17, Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as on April 01, 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on April 01, 2019 was 9.25% / 9.75%.

For long term leases related to leasehold land obtained from government authorities previously classified as finance lease, the entity recognised the carrying amount of the leased asset immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

(i) Practical expedients applied

In applying Ind AS 116 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • Exclude the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  • Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at April 01, 2019 as short term leases.

  • Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

  • Electing not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Company relied on its assessment made applying Ind AS 17 and Appendix C to Ind AS 17, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

(ii) Measurement of Lease Liabilities

Operating lease commitments disclosed as at March 31, 2019 -
Discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application 1,094.60
Add: Finance lease liabilities recognised as at March 31, 2019 -
Lease liability recognised as at April 01, 2019 1,094.60
Of which are:
Current lease liabilities 124.78
Non-current lease liabilities 969.82
1,094.60

(iii) Measurement of right-of-use assets

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, with right-of-use asset recognised at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the prepaid lease rent.

(iv) Adjustments recognised in the balance sheet on April 01, 2019

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on April 01, 2019:

Property, plant and equipment - decrease by Rs. 1,271.86 Lakhs

Right-of-use assets increase by Rs. 2,366.46 Lakhs

Prepayments - decrease by Rs 18.47 Lakhs

Lease liabilities (net of prepayments) - increase by Rs 1,076.13 Lakhs

The net impact on retained earnings on April 01, 2019 was decrease by Rs Nil.

(v) Lessor accounting

The Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of Ind AS 116.

  • 37. Pursuant to the approval of Board of Directors in their meeting held on May 28, 2018 for closure of Company's overseas subsidiary Thai Subros Ltd. and filing of liquidation application in Thailand on January 09, 2019, the management has assessed the recoverability of their investment in subsidiary and recognised the provision for diminution in the value of its investment in subsidiary amounting to Rs. 21.35 Lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2019. The liquidation of the subsidiary has been completed on August 01, 2019 vide Certificate issued by Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce, Thailand and the Company has recognized a gain of Rs. 0.42 Lakhs during the year ended March 31, 2020 included in 'Other Income' on account of money realized over and above the carrying value of its investment in subsidiary.
  • 38. The Supreme Court of India has passed an order dated February 28, 2019 in the matter of The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal vs. Vivekananda Vidyamandir & Ors in Civil Appeal No. 6221 of 2011 and few other linked cases. In the said order, the Supreme Court has clarified the definition of the Basic Wage under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant financial impact and accordingly, no provision has been made in these financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.

39. The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has created economic disruption throughout the world including India. The Company's operations have been adversely impacted due to the consequent lockdown announced by the Government of India due to which the operations were suspended for part of the first quarter and gradually resumed with requisite precautions.

The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these standalone financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. While assessing the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, the Company has considered internal and external information available, and based on such information and assessment, has concluded that no further adjustments are required to be made to these standalone financial statements. However, given the evolving scenario and uncertainties with respect to nature and duration, the impact of the pandemic may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these standalone financial statements. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

40. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on June 29, 2021.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of Subros Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Subros Limited (hereinafter referred to as the ''Company") and its joint venture (refer Note 35 to the attached consolidated financial statements), which comprise the consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, and the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information prepared based on the relevant records (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").
    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Company and its joint venture as at March 31, 2021, of consolidated total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), consolidated changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

  1. 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 and its joint venture in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in India in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by ICAI and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in sub-paragraph 15 of the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of matter

  1. We draw your attention to Note 40 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes the management's assessment of the impact of outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on the business operations of the Company and its joint venture. The management believes that no adjustments, other than those already considered, are required in the consolidated financial statements, however, in view of the highly uncertain economic environment, a definitive assessment of the impact on subsequent periods is highly dependent upon circumstances as they evolve. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

  1. 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.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Appropriateness of capitalisation of internal development
costs
[Refer note 2 (significant accounting policies) and note 4
(intangible assets under development) to the consolidated
financial statements]
We performed the following procedures, amongst others
-
Understood and evaluated the financial controls for the
capitalisation of internal development costs and tested such
controls.
During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company has
capitalized significant costs incurred on internal development
of Intangible Assets amounting to Rs. 2,731.80 lakhs under
the head 'Intangible assets under development'. These
intangible assets are predominantly in relation to the projects
awarded by original equipment manufacturers. The costs
mainly comprise employees' payroll and other costs.
-
Assessed
the
appropriateness
of
capitalization
of
product development costs with the criteria to capitalize
product development costs and held discussion with the
management to understand their assessment to support the
product's commercial viability.
-
Tested the accuracy and allocation of capitalized payroll
and other costs and assessed whether these are directly
attributable to the development as against research.
The capitalization of internal development costs was a key
audit matter due to the amount of the internal development
costs capitalized and judgement involved in assessing whether
the criteria for capitalisation set out in the Indian Accounting
Standard (Ind AS) 38 "Intangible Assets" had been met.
- Assessed appropriateness of the assumptions underlying
cash flow forecasts including the future revenue, expected
margins to be achieved with reference to historical data
and management approved margins in the AOP (Annual
Operating Plan), inputs used by the Management to
calculate the discount rate applied by comparing this to the

determination of –
whether the costs incurred is towards development of
cost of capital for the Company. We also involved auditor's
expert to evaluate the reasonability of cost of capital of the
Company used to discount the future cash flows expected

to relevant projects, and
- Performed a sensitivity analysis over the key assumptions

As a result of the above procedures, the capitalisation of internal
development costs by the Company was considered to be
appropriate.

Other Information

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

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

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed and the reports of the other auditors as furnished to us (Refer paragraph 15 below), we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows, and changes in equity of the Company including its joint venture in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the Company and of its joint venture are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and its joint venture and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

    1. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the Company and of its joint venture are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company and of its joint venture 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.
    1. The respective Board of Directors of the Company and of its joint venture are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and of its joint venture.

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

  1. 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.

    1. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  2. 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.
  3. 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 with reference to consolidated financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  4. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  5. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its joint venture 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 and its joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
  6. 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.
  7. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its joint venture to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

    1. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
    1. 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.
    1. 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

  1. The consolidated financial statements include the Company's share of total comprehensive income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income) of Rs. 68.54 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2021 as considered in the consolidated financial statements, in respect of a joint venture whose financial statements have not been audited by us. These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management, and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements insofar as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the joint venture and our report in terms of sub-section (3) of Section 143 of the Act including report on Other Information insofar as it relates to the aforesaid joint venture, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Subros Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") and its joint venture, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

  1. The respective Board of Directors of the Company and its joint venture, to whom reporting under clause (i) of sub section 3 of Section 143 of the Act in respect of the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is applicable, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility

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

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

  1. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

  1. A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

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

Opinion

  1. In our opinion, the Company and its joint venture, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Also refer paragraph 4 of the main audit report.

Other Matter

  1. Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements insofar as it relates to the joint venture, which is a company incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding report of the auditors of such company incorporated in India. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

2(b). Principles of equity accounting

Corporate Overview

Joint Venture

Interest in joint venture is accounted for using equity method, after initially being recognized at cost in the consolidated balance sheet.

Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Company's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from joint venture are recognized as a reduction in carrying amount of the investment.

When the Company's share of losses in an equityaccounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long term receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the joint venture. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the equity accounted investee have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

The carrying amount of equity accounted investment is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

2(c). Key accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and

Statutory Reports

liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as the management becomes aware of the changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the significant effect to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is included in other notes to the consolidated financial statements as mentioned below:

  • a. Measurement of employee defined benefit obligations – Refer note 28
  • b. Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies – Refer note 26
  • c. Recognition of deferred tax assets Refer note 6
  • d. Estimation of provision for warranty Refer note 12
  • e. Estimated useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets – Refer note 3 & 4

2(d). Significant accounting policies

i) Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of items. The cost of self-generated assets comprises of raw material, components, direct labour, other direct cost and related production overheads. Such assets are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all its property, plant and equipment recognized as at April 01, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying values as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except in respect of the below mentioned assets where useful life is determined through technical evaluation and is different than those prescribed in schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Plant and machinery : 5-20 years

The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the assets. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses in disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss within gains/(losses).

ii) Intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognized if and only if it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Separately purchased intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date they are available for use. Estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Technical knowhow : 8 years
Product development : 8 years
Software : 3 years

The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand competition and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically including at each financial year end.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Product development costs are capitalized when technical and commercial feasibility of the products (e.g. air conditioning systems and related products) is

demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the product and the cost can be measured reliably, in other cases such development costs are taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The costs which can be capitalized include the cost of material, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure all its intangible assets at the Previous GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS i.e., April 1, 2016.

iii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

iv) Inventories

Raw material and spares, work in progress, stores and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of raw materials and spares and stores comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-inprogress and finished goods comprises direct material, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

v) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

vi) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:

  • amortized cost or
  • fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or
  • fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

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

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • − the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • − the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI – equity investment). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets: Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial assets at FVTPL

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses, if any. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities: Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, or it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition:

Financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.

If the Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its Balance Sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

Financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows under the modified terms are substantially different. In this case, a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the new financial liability with modified terms is recognized in profit or loss.

Equity instruments

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in other gain/ (losses) in the statement of profit and loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is at amortized cost. Loss allowance in respect of financial assets is measured at an amount equal to life time expected credit losses and is calculated as the difference between their carrying amount and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Offsetting:

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

vii) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

viii) Borrowing costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which these are incurred.

ix) Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance sheet date.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax discounting rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

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

No contingent asset is recognized but disclosed by way of notes to accounts. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognized as an asset.

x) Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency:

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is Subros Limited's functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances:

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and nonmonetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of the transaction.

Statutory Reports

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

xi) Revenue recognition and other income

A. Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract with customers, net of returns, rebates and discounts. Revenue excludes Goods & Services Tax, where applicable on the supply of goods and services.

The Company recognizes revenue when the Company performs its obligations to its customers and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and recovery of the consideration is probable and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below:

a) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells auto-air conditioning system primarily in the domestic market. Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods are dispatched / delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the goods, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the customer location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer and the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract.

The goods are sold to after-market customers with rebates / discounts based on sales targets over a 12 months period. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated rebates / discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the rebates / discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with credit terms, which vary from 30 days to 60 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Company's obligation to repair or replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision, see note 12.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered and accepted by the Customer as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Corporate Overview

A contract liability is recognized where payments received from the customers exceed the goods sold by the Company.

b) Sale of services

Income from services rendered is recognized based on agreements/arrangements with the customers on the performance of service. Revenue from services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised to the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

If the services rendered by the Company exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

c) Financing component

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

B. Other income

Income from duty drawback and export incentives is recognized on an accrual basis.

Interest is recognized using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, as income for the period in which it occurs.

Dividend income on investments is recognized when the right to receive dividend is established.

xii) Employee Benefits

a. Short term obligations:

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including nonmonetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

b. Post-employment obligations

Provident fund and Employees' state insurance:

Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as Provident fund and Employees' state insurance are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The Company pays provident fund contribution to government-administered provident fund. The above benefits are classified as defined contribution schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Superannuation:

Certain employees of the Company are participants in a defined contribution plan. The Company has no further obligations to the plan beyond its monthly contributions which are periodically contributed towards trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with the Life insurance companies.

Gratuity:

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. The gratuity plan in Company is funded through annual contributions made towards the trust fund, the corpus of which is invested with Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

c. Compensated absences:

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed within 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as short term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement as at the year end.

Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be availed or encashed beyond 12 months from the end of the year end are treated as other long term employee benefits. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of each year. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

xiii) Leases

As a lessee

Leases are recognized as right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the Company is a lessee, it has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities includes the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
  • amount expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees
  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company obtains the interest rate from its bankers for borrowings for a tenure that is substantially similar to the lease terms, with a similar security and the similar economic environment for leases held by the Company.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,

  • any initial direct costs, and

  • restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.

Payments associated with short term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in Statement of Profit and Loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

As a lessor

Lease income from operating leases where the Company is lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective lease assets are included in balance sheet based on their nature. The Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor as result of adopting the new standard.

xiv) Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Company measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences.

Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiary and joint venture where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in subsidiary and joint venture where it is not probable that the differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current tax and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss as current tax. The Company recognizes MAT credit available as deferred tax asset only to the extent it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of MAT credit to be utilized during the specified period i.e., the period for which such credit is allowed to be utilized.

xv) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:

  • a) the profit attributable to owners of the Company
  • b) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:

  • a) the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and
  • b) the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

xvi) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Company holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.

xvii) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

xviii) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

xix) Segment Reporting

The Company is primarily in the business of manufacturing of thermal products (Automotive air conditioning systems and parts thereof) for automotive applications.

The Board of Directors of the Company, which has been identified as being the chief operating decision maker (CODM), evaluates the Company's performance, allocate resources based on the analysis of the various performance indicator of the Company as a single unit. Refer note 23 for segment information presented.

xx) Government grants

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented as net of the related expense.

xxi) Rounding of amounts

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

The provision for employee benefits include leave encashment and gratuity (refer note 2(d)(xii) and 28).

Provision for warranty:

Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. The Company generally offers 24 months warranties for its products. Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts. The assumptions made in relation to the current period are consistent with those in the prior years. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the Company's productivity and quality initiatives.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specif ic estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

There has been no transfer between level 1, level 2 and level 3 for the years ended March 31,2021 and March 31, 2020.

Financial Statements

Valuation technique used to determine fair value : The Company has entered into variety of foreign currency forward contracts and swaps to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These financial exposures are managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures. Fair value of derivative financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques based on information derived from observable market data. Further, Investment in equity shares included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been valued using the income approach to arrive at their fair value. In this approach the discounted cash flow method is used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of this investment.

All short term financial assets and liabilities like trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposit with banks, trade payables, capital creditors, security deposit received, payable to employees are stated at amortized cost which is approximately equal to their fair value.

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows, using a discount rate equivalent to the risk-free rate of return, adjusted for the credit spread considered by the lenders for instruments of similar maturity.

The fair value of loans to employees and security deposits are calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

Management uses its best judgement in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments. However, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented above are not necessarily indicative of all the amounts that the Company could have realized or paid in sale transactions as of respective dates. As such, the fair value of the financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each year end.

22(b). Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures and interest rate swaps to hedge variable interest rate exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

The regulations, instructions, implementation rules and in particular, the regular communication throughout the tightly controlled management process consisting of planning, controlling and monitoring collectively form the risk management system used to define, record and minimize operating, financial and strategic risks. The note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risks :

Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations towards the Company and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and deposits with banking institutions. The maximum amount of the credit exposure is equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables.

For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted. The Company has deposited liquid funds at various banking institutions. Primary banking institutions are major Indian and foreign banks. In long term credit ratings these banking institutions are considered to be investment grade. Also, no impairment loss has been recorded in respect of fixed deposits that are with recognized commercial banks and are not past due.

The Company has developed guidelines for the management of credit risk from trade receivables. The Company's primary customers are major Indian automobile manufacturers and Air-conditioner manufacturer (OEMs) with good credit ratings. Non-OEM clients are subjected to credit assessments as a precautionary measure, and the adherence of payment due dates is closely monitored on an on-going basis for all customers, thereby practically eliminating the risk of default.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty, fails to make contractual payments within the agreed number of days of when they fall due. This definition is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

The Company's historical experience of collecting receivables, supported by the level of default, is that credit risk is low. All customer balances which are overdue for more than 180 days are evaluated for provisioning and considered for impairment on an individual basis. The customer balances are written-off as bad debts, when legal remedies available to the Company are exhausted and / or it becomes certain that said balances will not be recovered.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk encompasses any risk that the Company cannot fully meet its financial obligations. To manage the liquidity risk, the Company's finance division monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet the operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. The Company raises short term rupee borrowings for cash flow mismatches and hence carries no significant liquidity risk.

The entire amount of the provisions of Rs. 331.69 Lakhs (March 31, 2020: Rs. 621.95 Lakhs) is presented as current, since the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations.

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

The probability or likelihood of occurrence of losses relative to the expected return on any particular investment.

Interest risk

The plan exposes the Company to the risk of fall in interest rates. A fall in interest rates will result in an increase in the ultimate cost of providing the above benefit and will thus result in an increase in the value of the liability.

Longevity risk

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

Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan is calculated with the assumption of salary increase rate of plan participants in future. Deviation in the rate of increase of salary in future for plan participants from the rate of increase in salary used to determine the present value of obligation will have a bearing on the plan's liability.

The principal assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

PARTICULARS Gratuity (Funded)
As at March 31, 2021
Discount rate (per annum) 6.88%
Rate of increase in compensation level (per annum) 7.00%
As at March 31, 2020
Discount rate (per annum) 6.75%
Rate of increase in compensation level (per annum) 7.00%

Estimate of future increases considered in actuarial valuation takes account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors such as supply and demand in the employment market.

Sensitivity analysis

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of employee defined benefit obligation using projected unit credit method are discount rate and expected salary growth rate. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes in respective assumption occurring at the end of reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. Sensitivities due to mortality and withdrawals are not material and hence impact of change not calculated. The method and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to prior period.

On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of Ind AS 17, Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as on April 01, 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on April 01, 2019 was 9.25% / 9.75%.

For long term leases related to leasehold land obtained from government authorities previously classified as finance lease, the entity recognised the carrying amount of the leased asset immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

(i) Practical expedients applied

In applying Ind AS 116 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • Exclude the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
  • Accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at April 01, 2019 as short term leases.
  • Applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
  • Electing not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the Company relied on its assessment made applying Ind AS 17 and Appendix C to Ind AS 17, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

(ii) Measurement of Lease Liabilities

Operating lease commitments disclosed as at March 31, 2019 -
Discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial
application
1,094.60
Add: Finance lease liabilities recognised as at March 31, 2019 -
Lease liability recognised as at April 01, 2019 1,094.60
Of which are:
Current lease liabilities 124.78
Non-current lease liabilities 969.82
1,094.60

(iii) Measurement of right-of-use assets

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application, with right-of-use asset recognised at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the prepaid lease rent.

(iv) Adjustments recognised in the balance sheet on April 01, 2019

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on April 01, 2019:

Property, plant and equipment - decrease by Rs. 1,271.86 Lakhs

Right-of-use assets increase by Rs. 2,366.46 Lakhs

Prepayments - decrease by Rs 18.47 Lakhs

Lease liabilities (net of prepayments) - increase by Rs 1,076.13 Lakhs

The net impact on retained earnings on April 01, 2019 was decrease by Rs Nil.

(v) Lessor accounting

The Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of Ind AS 116.

Pursuant to the approval of Board of Directors in their meeting held on May 28, 2018 for closure of Company's overseas subsidiary Thai Subros Ltd, the liquidation of the subsidiary has been completed on August 01, 2019 vide Certificate issued by Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce, Thailand.
  • 39. The Supreme Court of India has passed an order dated February 28, 2019 in the matter of The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal vs. Vivekananda Vidyamandir & Ors in Civil Appeal No. 6221 of 2011 and few other linked cases. In the said order, the Supreme Court has clarified the definition of the Basic Wage under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the assessment of the management, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant financial impact and accordingly, no provision has been made in these financial statements. The Company and its joint venture will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.

40. The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has created economic disruption throughout the world including India. The Company and its joint venture's operations have been adversely impacted due to the consequent lockdown announced by the Government of India due to which the operations were suspended for part of the first quarter and gradually resumed with requisite precautions.

The Company and its joint venture have considered the possible effects that may result from COVID-19 in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021. While assessing the carrying value of its assets and liabilities, the Company and its joint venture have considered internal and external information available, and based on such information and assessment, have concluded that no further adjustments are required to be made to these consolidated financial statements. However, given the evolving scenario and uncertainties with respect to nature and duration, the impact of the pandemic may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. The Company and its joint venture will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

41. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on June 29, 2021.
