Eye of the storm. Generally

The calm centre of the storm. Because the surface winds that converge towards the centre never actually reach it. The coriolis force deflects the wind slightly away from the centre. So ironically, even as the storm devastates the periphery with wind and rain, it leaves the centre intact.

Eye of the storm. Specifically

In FY2018-19, the air‑coolers sector de‑grew. A number of manufacturers reported lower numbers. At Symphony, we did not escape the impact (even as we de-grew considerably lower than the industry average). However, we deepened our research, branding, sales promotion and dealer engagement to be the first off the blocks when consumer sentiment revives.

The year FY2018‑19 was possibly the most challenging for the Indian air‑coolers market in living memory. Raising questions about the sector, brands and players.

Are the good days over?

Will the price war sustain?

Will margins continue to decline?

Will competition continue to increase?

Will industry market shares fragment?

There is a message we wish to send out from a sectoral perspective.

The best is yet to come.

It will get progressively warmer

The moment temperatures rise, restocking will emerge

Prices will stabilise

Cooling will continue to be an irreversible lifestyle statement

Volume and premium segment demand will rebound

The weak players could bleed; the strong could emerge stronger

Achal Bakeri, Chairman-Managing Director, reviews the Company's performance of FY2018-19 and defines the Company's direction

The crash of 2018

The crash of 2018 resulted in Symphony reporting its first sales de-growth in nearly two decades.

We believe that the Indian coolers market de-grew more than us during the mayhem of 2018. Symphony (standalone) revenues from operations declined 24% in FY2018-19. Our profit after tax

declined 45%.

However, I am pleased to state that the Company capitalised on a hot summer, eyeing an improvement in performance during the first quarter of FY2019-20, emphasising the Company's capacity to ride through periods of sluggishness and rebound with speed as conditions revive.

An emerging opportunity

We soon realised that a price erosion and confidence crisis of this nature was not a disaster, but represented an opportunity.

Most companies in our position would probably have taken the view that there was little that could be done since the situation – weaker consumer sentiment – was outside our control. We perceived the situation differently. We worked closer with our trade channel partners to help them sell faster without completely compromising their realisations. We introduced sales schemes that moderated the impact of declining realisations. We worked closely with our larger dealers (remember Pareto Principle?) to help them restock and sell faster. We continued to rationalise the number of dealers, enhancing the quality of engagement, confidence and throughput. We identified new dealers in relatively under-penetrated geographies.

In the past, Symphony had largely been a brand driven by a consumer pull. During this challenging period, the Company re-invented its identity as one driven by a combination of consumer pull and product push. For the first time in our history, we were no longer waiting for the consumer to come and ask for our brands; we were going out to tell them

of the kind of opportunity that awaited them.

I am pleased to report that the result of these initiatives was reflected in our relatively improved performance in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year under review.

In the second quarter, the sales and surplus declines were less pronounced; revenues from operations declined by 20%, while profit after tax declined 33% on standalone basis. Both of these were substantially lower than declines in the first quarter.

In the third quarter, revenues from operations declined 27%, while profit after tax declined 36% on standalone basis.

In the fourth quarter, revenues from operations declined 11%, lower than the decline in the first quarter while profit after tax excluding exceptional expenses declined 14% on standalone basis.

What is of much importance is that: when we ended what was easily the most challenging year in our existence, we were far more confident and better prepared to face the future and address any challenges that might await us.

Recovering our balance

That which doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

A ground shifting experience of this kind could have eroded our confidence in our ability and sent the wrong signals for the long-term.

Inspired by Nietzsche, we soon recovered our balance.

We deepened our engagement with trade partners; we communicated more actively; we focused on enabling the larger dealers to sell faster; we entered into a collaborative dialogue on how we could act jointly to help them to liquidate their inventory instead of passing it off as their problem.

We enhanced our focus on the industrial and commercial cooler categories, replacing what we manufactured earlier in Mexico and China with local manufacture.

We sustained our focus on the introduction of path-breaking products and prospective category leaders at a time when most players were caught up with addressing the challenges of the day. Our reasoning was simple: the first signs of recovery would send every player scurrying

for new products, but their pipeline would be empty. We are confident that when this happens, the advantage of a robust product pipeline will manifest itself and excite a wanting-to-buy consumer into spending on new models. In line with this conviction, we continued to build our arsenal during the downturn and expect to unveil a range of clutter-cutting residential coolers for our trade partners after the summer of 2019. These products would be ready for commercial launch in the summer of 2020.

Even as we continued to seek and plug market gaps, we also did something more critical: we continued to look within.

We strengthened our valueengineering. We mined our data mountain more keenly. We strengthened cross- subsidiary synergies. We reinforced our research team ('Let's surprise the consumer').

The result is that Symphony is not only better equipped to address the shocks of an unpredictable market; it is also strongly placed to generate those shocks for the rest of the players in the business. Big difference.

Decisive business-building

It would have been usual for most companies in our place to concentrate all their attention to fighting fires across a panicking market.

We used this moment for decisive business-building (as opposed to only business- protecting) action.

For years, we had noticed how

our customers had adapted our residential coolers for use in large marriage halls, restaurants and open‑air spaces.

Initially, we were pleased on the versatile use of our product, but soon we began to recognise that we had missed something.

Take something as common as a large marriage hall.

Given the formality of the occasion, guests tended to dress heavier. The men moved into coats and jackets; the women draped their heaviest silks. The result was that when you had 300 people elbow-to-elbow, the first thing you tended to reach for was a handkerchief. Usually the cooling system did not suffice; most guests gravitated towards the customised cooler for a direct draft; the more they did, the more people reached for their pockets and purses for something to mop their brow with.

And that was the basis of our decision to launch commercial coolers in the fourth quarter of 2018‑19. We believe that the market potential for this new category is large - with virtually no competition. We launched 6 models;

we built on the research coming out of our company in China; we created something just right for commercial applications as against retro-fitting a residential version that could be passed off as a commercial cooler; we believe that this will build on the market seeded by small-time importers and eventually replace them.

And yes, now that we have brought this category from just being around (and that too in an informal fashion) to an officially recognised presence, we are confident of being able to support it with appropriate promotions and focused designs that cater to specific user needs.

Often demand creates supply. In this case, we believe that increased supply will generate additional demand.

Symphony better placed

And lastly, there is a compelling reason why in this battle of attrition, we are better placed to prevail.

Virtually every single company engaged in the manufacture of air‑coolers in India is diversified across products. Symphony focuses on a single product. The difference is best expressed in the analogy of a doctorate compared with a matriculate; the competence of a company with an inch- wide but mile‑deep focus compared with another possessing a mile-wide but inch-deep commitment.

At Symphony, we have been asking this question ourselves repeatedly during the slowdown of FY2018-19: who is the consumer likely to trust to deliver a superior product experience? Each time our answer has come from an unbiased whisper: the craftsman, the specialist, the single-minded obsessionist.

We believe that after the customer's prosperity to chase the fleeting arbitrage has subsided and the customer starts seeking something considerably better than the prevailing average, something that is positioned to enhance ownership pride and something likely to endure, the specialist will carve out a larger mind space - and possibly even restore sales growth.

With warmth (ironically),

The overarching message: Symphony 3.0 is alive and well

A few years ago, we had recognised that the nature of our presence in India's air-cooler market would need to evolve.

As the relative cost of an aircooler declined, compared to competing product categories, and disposable incomes increased, the market for air‑coolers was expected to widen.

Should this now happen, what worked in the past might not necessarily work in the future. We need to adapt to changes and modify the way we have done business. In short, we had reached the

next stage in our evolution as the industry trendsetter. In Symphony 2.0, we had generated attractive value; in Symphony 3.0, we believed that a combination of volume and value would work more effectively.

The 'volume cum value' approach merits an explanation. In the past, we had successfully demonstrated an unusual approach where premium pricing and positioning had translated into enhanced offtake. In the future, when competition increases and every participant in the market is likely to reduce prices to capture market share, we will need to play a different game.

It is precisely this recognition that translated into the institutionalisation of Symphony 3.0.

So what resides at the core of Symphony 3.0?

In the past, 'cooler' connoted mainly residential applications. Going ahead, we believe that an application-agnostic approach will work better. Consequently, we decided to deepen our evaporative air cooling focus around multiple applications, formats and models, reinforcing our 'leadership' positioning in a space marked by comparative new comers.

As an effective and differentiated trickle-down, we are doing two things.

One, widening our brand from residential to industrial and commercial applications across a widening global footprint, so that whenever anyone thinks of 'cooling', he would think only of Symphony, evolving us from just a brand into a generic name. The focus will lie in proactively building markets (in more senses than one) at a time when people are still questioning 'Why?' and not when our stakeholders are demanding 'Why not?'

Two, we intend doing what we have always done: by

the time the consumer gets adjusted to a previous clutter-cutting product, we reinvent the product to introduce a new generation of coolers comprising technology-led applications, addressing the vast demand we expect will come out of increased incomes and the unprecedented growth out of the affordable housing segment.

To use our favourite motto, Symphony 3.0 in a nutshell is: Address the lateral in the linear and the linear in the lateral.

The second Symphony 3.0 message: Global, global and more global

It would have been one thing to consider India as our world and focus on carving a progressively larger slice and then, as an after-think, export the surplus manufactured to neighbouring countries passed off as 'global.'

It would have been another to consider the world as our market and select to focus on India not only for reasons of terrain familiarity, but also for the sheer extent of aircooler under-penetration at a time when the country earned more and aspired for a larger number of nextgeneration products.

At Symphony, we were the first kind of company for a number of years – happily.

During this long apprenticeship of working in one of the most challenging global markets, we understood the true meaning of 'unity in diversity.' The diversity in our markets range from substantial market segments that demand the most premium air-cooler to those where a growing share of the population has just acquired our most basic model, starting them on their cooling products journey.

At Symphony, we believe that this represents a rich understanding of how increased incomes play out in demand, how demographics translate into aspirations, how changes in family structures extend to a need for

wider cooling options, how the proliferation of technology democratisation (smartphones!) has created a growing preference for next-generation gizmolike air‑coolers and how a new product line plays a larger inducement for trade partners over factors like season prices, trade terms and schemes.

There were other reasons why widening the footprint emerged as a growing priority. Symphony needed to diversify because an excessive dependence on a single climatic influence represented a threat (the benign summers of 2017 and 2018 being proof). Symphony needed to invest deeper in complementary markets where a summer in one coincided with winter in another, helping the Company increase its revenues on the one hand and moderate its inventory skew on the other. It made sense for Symphony to invest in different countries based on the strong probability that the demand explosion that had transpired in India across three decades would now happen in other countries as well.

Symphony's investment in global markets would also help in leveraging the sizeable procurement and organisational economies aggregated over the years. Extending these gains across larger number countries would result in superior customer value.

The internationalisation implicit in Symphony 3.0 was not an afterthought: it represented a natural extension of our longstanding success in India to more countries with the objective of maximising our profits in a sustainable manner.

This led us initially to a global expansion of our markets across more than 60 countries. As the next logical step, we acquired businesses in three countries and extended our manufacturing operations to five global locations. In the process, we brought in established distribution and retail relationships, increased brand ownership and grew the number of multi-national employees.

Symphony became global in presence but more importantly, global in mindset.

The mantra behind our global acquisitions: Less is more

Symphony 3.0 is also a reaffirmation that our decision to invest in global subsidiaries stands validated.

Some external observers might believe that we acquired these subsidiaries without a precise idea of how these would fit into our overall business. Like any entrepreneurial organisation, we possessed a fair directional idea of what these subsidiaries stood for within our overall business. And as so often happens with every entrepreneurial decision, the strategic clarity of how we expect to strengthen that business and take it ahead only increased over time.

A few external observers might have perceived the acquisition of these subsidiaries as a gamble that we could have avoided. Such perceptions would, however, have missed the fact that the acquisitions were made with a vast safety buffer. The acquisitions made were either at a substantially lower price compared to the real value of the business along with a limited business downside or at a reasonable price with attractive no‑gestation returns, which were considerably higher than what our cash surpluses earned in our bank accounts. Consequently, we are in the happy position of being able to present a completely positive story about how these investments have panned out.

The acquisitions might also have led some external observers to believe that they were bleeding the Company. Facts show that such perceptions, if they existed, were entirely wrong. Thanks

to a dose of 'Symphonyitis', the IMPCO acquisition has generated more than 200x of its acquisition price through revenues across the last decade and more than 30x through profits. The Chinese company, which was lossmaking, was acquired for only B1.55 Crores and has already broken even.

Some observers might also have felt that the global business would be slow in taking off. Again, facts belie such perceptions, if any. While the Indian operations accounted for 55% of consolidated revenues during the year under review, the global business increased from 21% of overall revenues in FY2008-09 to 45% today.

Another possible misgiving was that Symphony might not be able to manage global subsidiaries and their growing operations through a remote presence. The Company addressed this challenge by appointing a CEO to manage all international subsidiaries with the objective of not only facilitating the growth of each subsidiary individually but also in enhancing cross-subsidiary synergies.

Yet another possible perception that is belied by facts is that our global businesses were silos that would not be able to contribute meaningfully to the flagship Indian operations.

l Over the years, the IMPCO acquisition hand-held the Symphony vision beyond

residential coolers into industrial coolers.

l The Chinese acquisition drew the Company into commercial air‑coolers. Had it not been for these acquisitions, Symphony would have consumed years of research, trial-and-error approaches and heavy investments to enter these segments. The international acquisitions have made the process extremely cost-effective and seamless. Besides, the Chinese acquisition made it possible to shift the centre of research gravity from India to China; it empowered the Company to drill deep into its subsidiary's terrain awareness resulting in access to some of the most competitive component vendors in that country.

l The Australian acquisition empowered Symphony to buy into the leading air‑coolers and heating appliances brand in that continent; provided a manufacturing base in US (in addition to Australia) and also market access in Australia and USA to sell the Symphony range of residential air coolers.

The result: until a decade ago, Symphony had only one geographical business driver. The Company now has four global geographic revenue engines.

We are well on our way to being recognised as a successful multi-country evaporative cooling brand of Indian origin.

Strengthening Symphony 3.0 through the acquisition of Climate Technologies, Australia

In 2018, even as the Indian market remained weak, Symphony continued to demonstrate its commitment to Symphony 3.0.

The Company made the largest acquisition in its existence when it acquired a large profitmaking company in 2018. Symphony purchased a 95% equity stake in Climate Technologies Pty Limited at an enterprise value of roughly C2 bn. The acquisition was financed through a combination of debt C120 Crores and accruals C77 Crores

The acquisition represented the coming together of Symphony, the world's largest air cooler manufacturer, and Climate Technologies Pty Limited, Australia's leading manufacturer of cooling and heating appliances.

Climate Technologies, headquartered in Adelaide, manufactures and markets evaporative air coolers, ducted gas heaters and

other cooling products. The acquired company possesses a manufacturing facility in Salisbury (South Australia) and assembly operations in Las Vegas (USA).

At Symphony, the acquisition represented a structural shift that was completely in line with Symphony 3.0: an extension from cooler products to temperature control products / solutions; from an India focus to a global sales footprint; from largely India-centric manufacture to manufacture across five countries (India, China, Mexico, Australia and US); from an erstwhile deepening market penetration approach to a deepening cum widening strategy.

our previous ones – has a number of hidden cost and time-savers, making it possible to recover our investments more quickly.

The other question that we have been repeatedly asked: How will Symphony emerge stronger after this acquisition?

We believe that this acquisition will prove value‑accretive: complementary products range (EAC, refrigerated cooling, commercial convection cooling and gas heating products), deepening extension into countries with dual climates and an immediate access into under-represented geographies (Australia and US) that accounted for 24% of consolidated revenue from operations in FY2018‑19 (9 months of Australia) and likely to grow.

Besides, the Australian company comprises manufacturing facilities in Australia and US with attractive growth headroom (space, capacity, products). Even better, the products manufactured by the Australian company are future-relevant, considering that EACs consume 80%less electricity than refrigerated cooling and no refrigerant gases.

And then there is always Symphonyitis– the disruptive value that Symphony expects to bring to Climate Technologies – marked by a distinctive entrepreneurial spirit, contrarian mindset, commitment to go against the grain, access to a 60-country global distribution network, complementary products portfolio and insights drawn from its global supply chain and infrastructure (Mexico, China and India).

Besides, we believe that the Australian acquisition needs to be seen from

a holistic perspective: how we intend to create an overarching global platform for air‑coolers and complementary products, how category leaders operating out of one or few countries will find it profitable to collaborate with this widening platform in exchange for economies and how we may gradually cover the world wider and deeper in line with what we articulated in Symphony 3.0.

What has started with Australia could one day… Pushing the envelope with the good old‑young workhorse of residential air‑coolers

A number of analysts who attend our conference calls or take the trouble to come to Ahmedabad to hear our story, often ask slightly puzzled at the end: 'How much more can you do with the residential cooler? How much more time before the rest of the world reverse-engineers and catches up?'

Fair enough.

Except for the fact that we were asked these very questions 15 years ago.

That's when we recognised that if we embarked on competing with air‑coolers and competing models we would fail. So we began to compete with gizmos instead. Smartphones. Artificial Intelligence. Siri. Driverless car. That works.

We began to design products that would respond through voice assist. When we tired of this, we said, 'Can we create something that responds to a wave of the hand? (inspired by Facebook Messenger alright). We designed something that cools on the one hand and drives mosquitoes away on the other. We designed an air-cooler that looked like an air-conditioner. We created a product that occupied one sq. ft. but cooled 225 sq. ft. - and grew into a halfa-million units product category.

The brief to our innovation technologists continues to be the same three words we have been using for two decades: Shock and awe.

Their brief is not as much to redesign as to reinvent. Their brief is not to be influenced as much by their peers and what the wisened people are discussing but hints dropped by their technology-speaking children in everyday conversation. Their brief is not as much to be influenced by what economists are saying about the direction in which the world is moving as much as how the social media is trending. Their

brief is not to be influenced as much by 'cost' as by 'experience'. Their brief is not to be influenced by what customers want as much as by what customers never knew they wanted in the first place.

At Symphony, we believe we are best placed to continue playing this game. We possess an access to deep product and experience research coming from all over: our Indian eyes and ears, our Mexico, Australian and Chinese presence that will make it possible to keep rolling differentiated products that extend well beyond the core attribute, emphasising a compelling point.

Sweating the Symphony brand at work One of the things that most people miss about the Symphony story is the contrarian success of the brand.

Generally, a premium brand would do well in the premium segment while a mass brand would do well in the mass segment.

At Symphony, the same brand has consistently outperformed market growth at one level and concurrently led shares in all consumer segments – an unusual instance of where the products are mass and premium at the same time, reinforcing our presence in a category we like to refer to as 'mass premium'.

Designing and manufacturing a better mouse-trap (in this case air-cooler) has, to put it modestly, resulted in the world treading a beaten path to our door.

But there is a point where our product competence ends and our branding competence takes over. Over the last decade, we deepened our competence in brand management: how we would position our product, how we would raise our pitch, how we would communicate, what media we would utilise, how frequently we would communicate and how effectively we would negotiate media space with the objective of stretching every proprietary rupee the longest.

This competence translated into some distinctive advantages.

One, the capacity to have invested about C208 Crores in our brand across the last decade, possibly larger than all our competitors combined.

Two, the ability to generate C21 of revenues from every rupee of brand spend, one of the highest in our sector.

Three, the conviction to invest well for tomorrow through brand spending made today.

The last point provides an insight into what we are made of.

During the year under review, when profits were significantly down, there was a suggestion that perhaps we could slash brand spending and plug some of the decline. This is a temptation we resisted: we believed that since a number of our competitors would be doing the same, our protected brand spending would enhance mind space; with most players reducing brand spend, every Symphony rupee spent in this area was worth considerably more in probable impact.

The result is that Symphony invested in its brand around the same level of the previous year. The Company continues to position itself as 'mass premium', implying that it had a model for every consumer kind and an

aspirational element built into each.

The good news: Even though it was a challenging 2018‑19, Symphony enjoys highest Share of Voice at 51%. Eight of ten consumers said 'Show us Symphony' when they went to buy an air-cooler. Enhancing the probability of outperforming the sector and capitalising on the impending sectoral rebound.

When it comes down to eyeball-to-eyeball with the rest of the sector, Symphony believes that the one with the stronger brand would be the last to blink.

This is the story of two entrepreneurs.

One spent an existence crafting a single product. The world advised, 'Why don't you also try something else as that might protect you in a challenging phase?'

Our friend smiled and replied: 'If I understand feet better than anyone else and that helps me design shoes better than anyone else, then perhaps there really won't be a bad year."

The other entrepreneur wasn't born into the shoe business. Our friend manufactured leather bags, then extended into leather belts and then, when someone whispered 'Shoes' (remember the legendary whisper of 'Plastics' in The Graduate?), he shifted into… you guess it.

We wouldn't be dismissive enough to say that one business approach works better than the other, but we will concede that perhaps one business will be better placed to succeed than the other.

The craftsman who focuses on one product is respected across neighbourhoods; he is the first person people turn to when they need a new shoe; he knows customer preferences like the back of his elbow ('Ahh, double-heeled for you, right?

The power of focus: The more we change, the more we remain the same

I remember!'); he knows just how long to dip the leather in a secret potion that keeps the shine longer; in a certain sense, people wonder how he earns a living at all because his shoes are worn for years and years; if there was a PhD appellation that could be applied to craftsmen, he would have earned one; he has probably forgotten more in his trade than the others have learned in their lifetimes.

At Symphony, we were inspired by this analogy. It would be nose-in-the-air for us to nudge readers in the ribs about where we stand, but suffice it to say that across the last two decades, we have only made coolers as opposed to companies that also make coolers; we have seen more air‑coolers in our dreams than people have counted sheep; each time our product has been reverse-engineered and replicated, we have evolved the 'box' into a gizmo that has only made it difficult for the dedicated community of copiers.

Call us narrow-minded but it has worked. We transformed from loss to profit. We graduated from side-stream to mainstream to deep-stream. We provided a wider choice than all our competition combined. We navigated the coolers category into a new technological direction. We merged features to create hybrids. We 'destroyed' our products before competition could. We became the sectoral benchmark.

The big message is not this. The big message is that during this swirling dust of battle, we are transforming our business model with speed, we are graduating cooling from a product to a solution and we expect to be the last person standing (or the first to be running).

At Symphony, focus is not just a strategy; it is insurance. And it is not really just insurance; it is everything.

Symphony. Kuchh hat ke

Cloud: World's

Sense: World's

i-Pure technology: Market coolers to

Touch series:

Trade partnerships

A number of people on the outside believe Symphony is one company.

We are a number of Symphonys in one Symphony instead.

Because every trade partner who works with us believes he is Symphony.

Our partners 'read' the market. They advise trends. They provide a sample of what customers need. They provide a gist of retailer conversations. They correlate temperatures with buying frequency. They extrapolate farm incomes to product offtake. They step in when the customer appears confused ('Symphony… vichaarvanu nahi!').

These trade partners put their money where their molars are. Breaking their conventional wisdom of ordering products a couple of weeks before projected sale, they have done something unusual for a number of years. They paid 100% advances for their coolers in

July for sales they expected to make nine months later.

Because, in their words, no channel partner ever lost money on a Symphony product. Because, again in their words, distributing televisions was like buying into a mutual fund but distributing Symphony coolers was like buying into a sovereign bond.

Over a number of years in the past, we spread our distribution pipeline wide and deep. Go anywhere in the country and there is a good chance you will get a mobile signal…and a Symphony product. The result is that we don't just out-sell other cooler brands; we out-distribute them to begin with.

When the crash of 2018 deepened, we feared that the first constituency to have lost its nerve would have been our distribution network. We

were pleasantly surprised; they continued to believe in our product; our dealer attrition was non-existent; they continued to trust our brands with extensive advances; they were the first to pass the whisper that when the market is weak, better to trust the bluest of blue chips (least to be discounted; first to sell).

Going ahead, we are optimistic of riding out of the trough faster because more than half our distributors have been with us for more than five years. We bar-scan all retail sales, capturing data to feed our analytics engine. We work closer with trade partners to transform a consumer pull into a pullcum-push priority.

With the singular objective that as market heat increases, prospective customers get to see less and less of competing products.

When the guns are out, safety lies in trusting the one thing that always prevails. The quality of our book.

There is a no-nonsense word in the Indian vernacular that we frequently use at Symphony.

The chopdi.

In the past, the chopdi was where we wrote our accounts. In the present, the chopdi is the Balance Sheet.

When the markets lost their nerve, we calmed ours by turning to our Balance Sheet.

We recognised we had C481 Crores of cash on our books, so we could sustain the price erosion longer than most.

We had larger revenues than most, so we could amortise our fixed costs better than most.

We had a negligible receivables cycle, which was substantially shorter than the sectoral average, so we could flex our cash muscle better than most.

We had a larger number of trade partners who had worked with us for five years or more, so we could work closer with them to re-stock and then again closer with them to liquidate that stock.

We had no debt on our standalone book, so we didn't have an inner whisper pushing us to 'Sell! Sell! Sell!'

We had a lower cost structure than most, so even in the mayhem, we reported an EBIDTA margin to gross revenue that most others could only aspired to 30% (without exceptional expense) on a standalone basis, FY2018-19.

We continued to protect our business hygiene during the difficult times, resulting in more than 90% of our profit after tax being free cash flow.

We possessed an earned corpus of C481 Crores through the course of the year, which generated a treasury income of C30 Crores (excluding exceptional items) in 2018‑19.

At a time of sectoral weakness, it pays to look at what got us into business in the first place

We got into business more than three decades ago not because of global warming or the difference in penetration between air-conditioners and air-coolers or a preference in the hierarchy of purchases.

We got into business because of the idea of India.

The idea of India continues to be even more relevant now than it was when we got into business.

The second most populated country in the world, projected to emerge as the most populous by 2024.

The fastest urbanizing country, likely to be 40% urbanised by 2030, strengthening aspirations and consumer spending.

The youngest country with a median age of around 28 years, almost half the population under the age of 25 and two-thirds less than 35.

The world's largest workforce by 2027, with 64.9% of population in the economically productive age range of 15 to 64.

A growing family nuclearisation, increasing the number of families with 74% urban households having five or less members compared to 65% in 2001, increasing home spends.

Only 6% of Indian households owning an air-conditioner even as only 14% own an aircooler, whereas 85% own fans and 15% no cooling appliance at all (compared with a country like China where the penetration of air-conditioners has grown from 8% in 1995 to more than 70% today).

So much for the optimistic long-term.

Even as these fundamentals continue to look better every passing day, we believe that short-term aberrations will happen. Short-term aberrations influenced by the weather (beyond our control). Short-term aberrations like a market panic (beyond our control). Short-term aberrations where product

prices decline (beyond our control).

However, there are also other factors in which we had no role to play but which are getting better and better.

Cooling is emerging as a fundamental right. The cost of cooling has declined (coolers as a category under-performing inflation). Cooling is evolving from standalone products to centralised solutions. Cooling is extending from homes / and offices to factories. Cooling is everywhere.

The concept of democratisation has extended from social emancipation to lifestyle equality.

And that's why FY2018-19 was only like a moment when the market lost its nerve in a long bull market.

Management discussion and analysis

Global economic overview

The global economy grew 3.6% in 2018 compared with 3.8% in 2017, largely on account of the failure of Brexit negotiations, tightened financial conditions, geopolitical tension and higher crude oil costs. Global growth is estimated at 3.5% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2020 on account of a sustained weakening in the advanced economies. (Source: World Economic Outlook).

Indian economic overview

After growing at 6.7% in FY2017-18, the Indian economy grew 6.8% in FY2018-19 (initial estimates). The principal developments during the year comprised 8.6% increased per capita income, decline in the national inflation rate, steady interest rates, decline in the price of crude oil and weaker consumer sentiment in the second half of the financial year following a large nonbanking financial company announcing its inability to meet dues.

India retained its position as the sixth largest economy (11th largest in FY2013-14). India attracted FDI worth \$239 billion during the last five years and in 2018, aggregated larger inflows than China (approximately USD38bn compared to China's USD32bn).

India reported a 23-notch jump to a record 77th position in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business report that captured the performance of 190 countries (improvement in six of 10 parameters). India's global-rank for 'getting credit' as per World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index improved from 44 in 2016 to 22 in 2018.

Key government initiatives

Bank recapitalisation scheme: In addition to infusing C2.1 Lacs Crores in public sector units, the Indian government announced a capital infusion of C41,000 Crores through recapitalisation bonds in FY2018-19.

Expanding infrastructure:

The Government of India

invested C1.52trillion to construct 6460 kilometres of roads in 2018. Its proposed spend of 5.97 trillion rupees (\$89.7 billion) on infrastructure for FY2018-19 is expected to strengthen the national economy.

Increasing MSP: The

Government fixed Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) of 22 mandated Kharif and Rabi crops and Fair & Remunerative Prices (FRP) for Sugarcane. The government committed to provide a 50% return over the cost of production for all mandated crops, strengthening the rural economy.

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment),

Ordinance 2018: Passed in June 2018, the Ordinance provides significant relief to home buyers by recognising their status as financial creditors. The major beneficiaries comprised Micro, Small and Medium Sector Enterprises (MSME), empowering the Government to provide them a special dispensation under the Code.

Outlook

World Bank projected India's economic growth to accelerate to 7.5% in FY2019-20. Strong private consumption and services are expected to continue to catalyse economic activity. Private investment is expected to revive as the corporate sector adjusts to GST. The recapitalisation package for public sector banks announced by the Government of India is expected to resolve banking sector Balance Sheets, enhance credit availability and spur national investment.

The Indian appliance and consumer electronics industry

Business-friendly policies of the Government of India, stable political leadership, and turmoil in certain economies around the globe have together created a helpful investment climate in India, further boosting the domestic manufacturing. The Indian appliance and consumer electronics (ACE) market reached C2.05 trillion (US\$ 31.48 billion) in 2017. Electronics hardware production in the country increased from C1.90 trillion (US\$ 31.13 billion) in FY14 to C3.88 trillion (US\$ 60.13 billion) in FY18. Import of electronic goods reached US\$ 53 billion in FY18. Consumer electronics exports from India reached US\$ 362.12 million in FY18 and US\$ 451.29 in FY19. Urban markets accounted for the major share (67%) of consumer durables revenues. Consumer durables index under IIP grew by 8% in January 2018.

Indian air-cooler market overview

India comprised ~247 million households with ~85% owning fans, but only 6% households owning air-conditioners and ~14% owning air‑coolers . Considering the lower cost of ownership and relatively low power consumption, air coolers are expected to enjoy a growing demand.

Indian air‑coolers are among the most competitive in the cooling segment. They are also among the most preferred cooling products for those in the middle and low-income strata and co‑ exist with air-conditioners (without cannibalisation).

Besides, compared to 272kWh(kilowatt-hour) per person global cooling energy consumption, the per capita space cooling energy consumption in India is 69 kWh per person, lower than that off developed countries like Japan and European

Union and countries, and considerably lower than that of USA (1878 kWh). The following figures provide a globally comparative picture in the per capita space cooling energy consumption.

The Indian air cooler market reported growth at a CAGR of ~10% from FY16-18. Indian air cooling production is estimated to be ~8 million units per annum, with the unorganised sector accounting for ~75%. In value terms, the total market size is ~ C3,000-3,500 Crores. The household cooling segment is established and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12-17%. The commercial coolers segment has a negligible presence, and is serviced by imported products. A shift from the unorganised sector to the organised sector was predicted after the implementation of GST

and demonetisation but that is yet to happen. The residential and industrial air-cooling market increased significantly over the past few years, attributed to a rise in incomes of the middleand low-income groups. Air coolers have been preferred over air conditioners on account of their affordability and energy efficiency. Even within the air cooler space, traditional air coolers have been commoditised by limited features and low aesthetic appeal and only recently outpaced by superior variants. Air‑coolers have been preferred on account of lower electricity costs, and projected 10-20% energy savings across the coming decade on account of energy-efficient fans and pumps.

Why choose air-coolers?

They provide easy installation

Can cool specific areas

Do not require or emit harmful gases

Are portable, delivers fresh filtered cool air, healthy indoor atmosphere and can run on an inverter

The electricity cost ~85% lower than air-conditioners

Demand drivers of the Indian air-coolers market

Economic development:

India is the fastest-growing major economy and secondlargest by population, accounting for 17% of the world's population and 3% of the global consumption. It has the highest consumption growth amongst the top-10 countries in terms of household final consumption expenditure.

Growth in aspirations: Indian consumers today are looking to improve their homes and lifestyles through global brands and experiences. Fueled by the falling prices of consumer electronics, these radical demographic shifts are expected to further transform the consumer durables and electronics market in India.

Digital influence: Digital penetration in India is growing rapidly: 13% of the population uses a smartphone, 91% of smartphone-users search for products to buy using their devices and 54% complete a purchase. This level of digital maturity comes to a population with 37% internet penetration, growing at a CAGR of 31%, which is higher than that in China and the US. This bodes well for the e-retail sector and omni-channel players.

Young population: The growth of a young population that is enjoying rising incomes is creating a large emerging middle class in India. This segment of the population is expected to grow by 21% over the next decade, from ~470 million people in 2010 to 570 million by 2021, constituting ~42% of the country's total population.

Rising incomes: India's per capita income increased from C114,958 in FY2017-18 to an estimated C126,406 in FY2018-19, growing at a y-o-y growth rate of nearly 10%. The increased incomes catalysed consumption.

Urbanisation: India is arguably the fastest urbanising country. In FY2018, 34% of India's population was urbanised (3% increase over 2011 Census) and anticipated to reach 36% by 2020 compared with a 51.3% urban population in China (2011). [Source: Census of India 2011, MoSPI, Technopak Analysis, Economic Times]

Working population:

India's urban middle-class workforce (over USD 11,000 annual income) stands at 27mn or 2% of its population with a large growth headroom. This growth is likely to be catalysed by an increase in the number of working women and youth, strengthening consumer durable offtake growth. (Source: Goldman Sachs)

Demographic mix: India is a young country with a median age of 28 years. Almost half its population is under the age of 25 and two-thirds less than 35. India is expected to possess the world's largest workforce by 2027, with 64.9% of population in the economically productive ages of 15 to 64, strengthening consumption. (Source: Countrymetersinfo, Financial Express)

Rural market: The rural population, accounting for 66.86% of India's population, represents a large relatively under-penetrated market, offering the potential of sustained consumption growth.

Growing middle-class:

India's wealth has grown

9.2% per annum, faster than the global average of 6% from the year 2000, even after considering an annual population growth of 2.2%, strengthening indulgence spending on consumer durables.

Growing family

nuclearisation: Growing family nuclearisation is increasing the number of families and their respective spending on consumer durables. Nearly 74% urban households have five or less members compared to 65% in 2001. The increased disposable income and reduction in the average household size are catalysing discretionary spending on consumer durables. [Source: Census of India 2011]

Air-conditioners versus air-coolers: Air-conditioners are a planned purchase while coolers represent an impulse lower ticket-value purchase with plug-and-play convenience, and depends on summer intensity.

Rural infrastructure

development: The impressive development of roads, infrastructure over the last five years has sustained the momentum of enhanced rural incomes and aircooler offtake. India's move to connect every village with electricity has helped grow the market.

Global warming: The average global temperature increased ~0.8˚ over the past 100 years. Rising temperatures, coupled with heavy urbanisation and delayed and/or short

'Climate change could cost India 2.8% of GDP, and lower living standards of nearly half of its population by 2050. Average annual temperatures are expected to rise by 1-2% over three decades.' – World Bank

monsoons make summers unbearable but for effective cooling solutions like air coolers. (Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

Technological innovations: Technological innovations like smart locks, feathertouch digital control panels, remotes, auto swings, alarms and other intelligent features are gaining popularity over the run-offthe-mill products from the unorganised segment.

Replacement cycle: New

variants of products, particularly those with differentiated specifications, are visible on the shelves of electronics stores. After a medium to long-term span (typically four to five years or more), most consumers choose to buy a new product.

Low penetration: Compared to developed nations, India's consumer durables market is underpenetrated and offers growth potential. Electronic items, which were formerly considered a luxury, have become basic necessities.

Financing schemes: Lenders' kiosks have been set up in almost every electronic outlet to encourage purchase at minimal or no interest costs without collateral.

Organised retail: Increased visibility of products in Tier-II, III and IV centres has been attributable to inroads made by large retailers. White goods manufacturers are optimistic in making their presence felt in such areas given the low base and optimistic income prospects.

Festive buying: Consumer durables are the most sought-after products. To cash in on the demand,

manufacturers raised the ante through the introduction of promotional campaigns (through discounts, freebies, offers, among others) and extending the sale season too.

Easy maintenance: On

account of an improved availability of spare parts and better aftersales service, glitches in air‑coolers items are addressed more easily than before at a reasonable cost (in most cases).

Consumption boost:

Expectations of a good monsoon, steps to increase the minimum selling price for farmers and measures to double farmers' income by FY20 will be crucial in driving

demand growth from rural zones. Additionally, increments to government employees under the Seventh Pay Commission will be equally decisive in this regard.

Seasonality declining:

Appliance companies that bore the brunt of a weak demand in the 'off-season' every fiscal, do not face this challenges to the same extent. Though demand may vary from time to time, consumer durables are purchased throughout the year.

Outlook

The Indian air cooler market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12-17% by 2022. Demand growth is likely to be catalysed by a rise in disposable incomes in the hands of the middle class and rapid family nuclearisation. Indian households have shown a trend of moving up the

value chain by opting for premium air-cooling products. Substantial growth of e-commerce and retail markets, coupled with the government initiative of rural electrification, will also ensures stabilised growth of air cooler sales.

Residential air coolers:

The cooler market is largely dominated by the unorganised sector. The size of the market is estimated to be about 8 million units per annum in volume of which about only about 25% is serviced by the organised sector. Symphony is a leading player, marked by scale, visibility, competitiveness and innovation. Due to its costefficiency and other related factors. The Company enjoys approximately 50% share of the organised segment (in value terms).

Industrial air coolers:

Industrial air-cooling equity is known for cost-affordability and environment-friendliness. The market in India is virtually absent of players, strengthening Symphony's position as a market leader. The value of centralised air conditioning market is more than C40,000 million and industrial air-cooling market has potential to grow to that level. Industrial air‑coolers are relevant in open and semi-open spaces and best used in warehouses, factories, offices, schools and metro stations. Symphony acquired IMPCO in 2009, marking its extension into global markets. The acquisition of Munters Keruilai Air Treatment Equipment (Guangdong) Company Limited in China [now Guangdong Symphony Keruilai Air Coolers Co. Ltd.] helped the Company enter China through its oldest and largest air cooler manufacturing company. The Company acquired Climate Technologies in Australia in 2018. All the three subsidiaries have sizeable

presence in industrial air cooling.

Commercial air coolers:

Symphony's commercial air‑coolers are compact units for a range of commercial applications. The huge requirement for coolers in the intermediate range, between residential and large industrial units, encouraged Symphony to launch robust solutions to meet the demand for commercial air‑coolers, a technology sourced from its IMPCO, Mexico and GSK, China.

These coolers are portable and are designed for industrial and commercial use (workshops, gyms , restaurants and indoor stadia) and can run even on invertors, enhancing their appeal.

Information Technology

Symphony has integrated business functions like finance, operations, supply chain through the latest ERP package (SAP). The use of robust technological tools like – CRM (measuring the efficiency of authorised service partners in servicing customer complaints,

product life cycle management has helped the Company to grow steadily and outperform competition. The data analytics and mobile platform have enhanced predictive capabilities.

Human resources

The Company had, under its employment 439 employees as on March 31, 2019. Increase in the value of human capital through the development of individual and collective skills and knowledge is essential for continuous growth, especially in the air-cooler industry where ongoing research and development is required in order to keep pace with market expectations. The Company implements in-house programs for skill development and competence upgradation. Knowledge sharing programmes are carried out. Employees are also sent to external institutions to enhance their knowledge and their understanding of the industry and economy.

Risk management

Product risk

Air-cooling products may lose their relevance.

Mitigation: The Company has constantly widened its portfolio (residential, packaged and central air cooling), deepening its relevance. Besides, we believe that the sector is gaining relevance on account of global warming, increased disposable income and the correlation of prosperity with air-cooled solutions.

Industry risk

An economic slowdown could impact offtake.

Mitigation: The Company believes that any decline in consumer sentiment on account of a change in weather patterns or income visibility or economic growth could affect the offtake of all air-cooling products affecting all manufacturers. Despite this, the Indian air cooling market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.2% between 2018 and 2024, ensuring steady growth (Source: www.6wresearch. com)

Geographic risk

Over-dependence on a particular geography like India for sales could be a business risk.

Mitigation: An international footprint spanning 60 countries has enabled Symphony to moderate the risk of an overt dependence on India. Global revenues grew from 21% of revenues in FY2008-09 to 45% in FY2018-19. Besides, the Company acquired business and facilities in Mexico, China and Australia to reduce its dependence on India and generate 45% of its consolidated revenues from the international markets across the foreseeable future.

Competition risk

Increasing competition could affect sales.

Mitigation: The Company has consistently invested in research and development with the objective of introducing differentiated products with cutting-edge technology. The result is that the Company's brand generates an unaided recall linked to 'futuristic', 'superior' and 'dependable.'.

Technology risk

The technologies of today can become obsolete.

Mitigation: The Company has invested deeper in

cutting-edge technologies and components with the objective of graduating the product towards digital and other futuristic applications. The Company selects to outsource the end product from manufacturers, who are in sync with an evolving technology environment.

4] Operations Review

During the year under review, revenue from operations along with other income on standalone basis stood at H557.20 Crores. During the period 2018-19, your Company was aggressive on increasing sales volumes in the existing channels by offering attractive dealer incentive schemes. The innovative schemes also attracted new channel partners to invest in your Company's brand.

Your Company strongly believes in innovation in product design and features. During the year, as many as 9 new models were introduced in the market. With this, we now offer as many as 48+ models making it by far the largest range not only in the country but across the world in this segment. The new models included Winter+ range in new colour schemes and with enhanced air delivery, Hi Cool 45T, etc.

Your Company also tied up with various Consumer and Channel Finance companies to further penetrate the market and help trade partners as well as consumers to tie up for their fund requirements to purchase the Company's products.

After Sales Service

The distribution network expansion was accompanied by the optimisation of After Sales Service centre network across the country. We have successfully installed the new Service Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform and are using it for better handling of Customer calls and management of the wide network of service centres across the country. With the new CRM platform and with enhanced call centre infrastructure, your Company has equipped itself to retain its leadership in Sales and Service.

We are reaching out to every nook and corners of India by catering to 90% of the pin codes. The year also saw a record no. of 3000 Service engineers and more than 7500 salespersons being trained through over 300 Sales and Service training programmes conducted throughout the country. This will help in ensuring better customer connect at all levels and help in further strengthening its leadership position in the market.

Modern Trade

Consumer preferences are moving towards online purchases or purchasing through large format stores (both with national presence and regional presence). We have focussed on the regional chains to increase our market share without diluting focus on national large format stores and online presence.

Air Coolers - Overseas Business

During the year, revenue from operation of International Business was H57.49 Crores.

There has been a decline of 12.52% due to a substantial amount of carry forward inventory by International distributors in South East Asia and Southern Europe due to relatively weak season in these regions. The economic situation in Saudi Arabia had also impacted to the decline. However, Industrial and Commercial Coolers in International markets picked up and the business was doubled. These coolers got sold in over 20 countries in the current year.

African and Latin American markets showed some growth. In the current year, your Company's products were introduced into over 10 new countries.

Your Company continues to have several International quality certifications like CE, SASO, NOM etc, which provide access to market in several countries.

Advertising and Marketing:

To create a significant customer pull, your Company has launched new TV campaigns highlighting features of its flagship Touch and Cloud coolers. Your Company maintained its dominance in print, electronic and digital media with almost 50% share of voice in these. Your Company also invested a considerable amount in conducting product feature training for dealer salespersons as part of Below the Line activities and also dealer tie up schemes aimed at improving dealer loyalty.

Central Air Cooling Solutions

2018-19 has been a year of re-strategizing, re-structuring & re-defining the business growth plan for CACS division. This was in accordance with our commitment in last year's annual report wherein CACS Growth was identified as one of the instrumental drive engines to continue the Symphony Success Story. We are pleased to inform that we are on track with expected growth close to 100%.

Some of the key milestones achieved in this regard include :

• Introduced a major shift in the strategy of CACS division by adopting Distributor – Dealer - Service Provider business model.

This was done to overcome the challenge that we faced from delivery and network bottlenecks during the peak season last year, which affected our business substantially.

• Major shift in the business strategy was to get PAC as the mainstay product for CACS division and to facilitate the best business model through the DDS Sale & Service mechanism.

• Appointed 30 Distributors PAN India and all through the year had Distributor Dealer meeting as the base platform for making region & territory specific road maps & action plan.
• We strengthened our Dealer network by almost 50% with the Distributors contributing a major share in scouting new Dealers.
• We have known the importance of robust service network and time had come to develop complete web of CAS Service dealers across India. In this pursuit we now have 50 Authorised Service Providers for complete CAS & PAC range.
• Venturing into PAC business as our main stay sales we got a very good exposure to the ever growing Indian commercial market which further allowed us to expand our bandwidth and aim for almost doubling business in the coming year.
• Always being one step ahead of the curve we also launched feature rich, user friendly commercial coolers Movicool XL range which are at present going through test marketing in Delhi NCR. We are very confident that the product launch it would be a roaring success and that it would trigger an unprecedented growth trajectory for CACS Movicool business for many more years.
• We have been active in providing cost effective solutions for Industrial Manufacturing Facilities, Education Institutes, Religious Premises, Commercial places like Theatres, Retail Stores, Restaurants, Cafes &

Kitchens, Hospitals, Clinics, Automobile Showrooms & Service centres.

• We have been associated with well known brands like Force Motors, Serum Institute, Sandvik Asia, Whirlpool, Hyundai, CEPT University, Kent RO, Groz, Grofers, Havells, Federal Mogul, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Voltas, Suzuki Motors, JBM, RSPL Ghadi Detergent to name a few. This year we have added brands like Taj SATS, ITC Fortune Landmark, Grindwell Norton, United Spirits, Trident Group, Audi Service shop, M&M, E Square, ISGEC and many more.
• Symphony strongly believes in listening to the Voice of the Customer and has been gaining accolades from a wide range of customers. Here are few customer bytes from the Industrial & Commercial segments.

SEZ Units

During the year under review, your Company continued to operate from Kandla Special Economic Zone at Gandhidham, Kutch, Gujarat. The operations at Kandla SEZ unit remained satisfactory throughout the year. It may be noted that the SEZ units enjoy a number of direct and indirect tax benefits including benefits under new foreign trade policy.

During the year under review, the Company had started the procedures for surrender of lease rights over the Surat SEZ unit which was subsequently approved by the SEZ Developer. Recently, on April 5, 2019, the Company has executed a deed of surrender of lease rights with the Developer and received a consideration of H3.50 Crores towards the same.

5] Overseas Operations:

IMPCO S. de R. L. de C.V. (IMPCO), Mexico:

During the year under review, IMPCO successfully initiated manufacturing at two OEM factories. This has helped IMPCO in optimising its team size (reducing fixed costs), apart from becoming further asset light.

Summer sales in 2018 were largely affected by a short summer ending early July. In addition, we faced stiff competition from cheaper Chinese products introduced under private branding by some of our competitors. To mitigate this, we worked on a strategy for introducing competitive product SKUs to the market and offered aggressive pricing, and this strategy resulted in a very encouraging result in Q1 (January – March 2019).

We also introduced an all plastic window cooler – first of its kind for North American market - with many new value-added features, and received an overwhelming response from the market. This product was co-developed by design teams of India, China and Mexico. Looking at the market response, we expect a very good growth for this category, and also expect to pull the market share from window metal coolers of the competition. During the year, we have developed a portable version of this product and the same will be introduced in the summer of 2019.

IMPCO has forayed into room air heaters in the winter of 2017 as an initial launch, and, we witnessed a very good growth in 2018. Now, we expect to grow this category further in the years to come and also add more SKUs to cover other varieties of space heating.

We took a big leap in IT at IMPCO, and, went live on SAP with effect from 1st December 2018. This is expected to help improve speed and accuracy of planning, execution as well as reporting (thereby leading to more accurate and faster decision making for business decisions).

With a very good YOY growth in Q1 (Jan-Mar 2019), we are confident that IMPCO has a highly positive outlook for 2019. We are poised for strong growth in the coming years - despite persistent national trends in Mexico (including a decline in oil output, slowing job creation and a fall in government spending, thereby hampering national economy growth). We will continue to work on a strategy to achieve growth through (a) strategic pricing to take a larger share of the air cooler market, and, (b) foray and grow into other products – like heaters, fans - which have synergy to our existing sales and service network, and, in which we have a technical familiarity. It is also worth mentioning here that the energy costs are increasing rapidly in Mexico, and, this may positively help us in a slow but deliberate shift of the market from refrigeration air cooling products to evaporative air coolers over the years. Also, increasing tariffs of China made products at USA is likely to help export of Mexico manufactured products to USA.

Guangdong Symphony Keruilai Air Coolers Co. Ltd. (GSK), China :

At GSK, we streamlined the operations department, with a distinct focus on sourcing and purchasing. We also placed a special focus on quality and customer service, by re-organising the quality department and created an exclusive warehouse for spare parts. All this has resulted in higher satisfaction of the dealers and thereby improved market reputation for the Company.

GSK, China launched several new products including KF100 series of commercial portable coolers and two models of household portable coolers. In industrial category, we introduced three new products (KJ18, KD24 and LN18). Although, we had a limited success with these products, their introduction has allowed us to generate enough market inputs enabling us to develop improved versions of them (mainly KD25), which are likely to bear fruit in the coming years.

GSK, China forayed into e-commerce business on a leading platform in China. Although we had a very modest start, we expect to reap the greater benefits in the years to come.

During the year, GSK took several initiatives for product promotions. GSK added display tables near product displays to showcase our patents, achievements, and accolades compiled over the years. We created a Company and product videos and those have received a very good response. We created a model kitchen for product promotions, and, for the first time, we went on national TV (in Q1 - 2019).

Other highlights of the year include: (a) We invested in structural extension and strengthening of our FG warehouse, thereby increasing its capacity to match increased inventory pressures associated with increasing sales and expectations of quicker delivery time, (b) During Q1 (January-March 2019), we have recruited an entirely new team to focus on sales of household coolers for the domestic category in China from which we expect a very good outcome in the coming years, (c) We decided to have a regional focus in the industrial products category, and, this has resulted in a positive growth.

Faced with several export challenges, the Government of China is taking several steps to regain its export trade share from the global markets. It is also taking several steps, such as reduction in VAT, to improve domestic consumption. We anticipate good domestic growth, and improved margins, in the Chinese market in the coming years. At present our share of the domestic markets in China is small (especially for small residential coolers). Our main efforts will be directed towards improving the market share in this segment, by developing and offering new value-added and competitive products, expanding sales channels and improving services. Additionally, with our new commercial portable coolers, we also expect good growth in international markets – especially SEA countries.

Climate Technologies Pty Limited, Australia and Bonaire USA LLC, USA (CT/BUSA]:

Symphony acquired the Australian Company Climate Technologies (CT) in July 2018. CT has a wholly owned subsidiary, BUSA (Bonaire USA) in the USA. During the first year under Symphony group (9 months period) ending in March 2019, CT's revenues were comparable to those of the previous year on a YOY basis. Australia saw an unusually weak summer this year, one of its kind in many years. Moreover, the summer was very weak, finished early, and the temperatures remained high only for a very small duration of time. This largely affected the air cooler sales. However, loss in sales on this account was partially compensated by an increased sale of heating products to the builders market even during the summer months, and, to a smaller extent by gaining market share from the competition.

Continued increase in ducted gas heating sales was driven by new product introduction. Further, a new 6-star ducted gas heater and power flued wall furnace were developed for 2019 heating season. The innovative My Climate Wi Fi smart device app for heaters, ducted evaporative coolers and add on refrigerated air conditioners is being upgraded to voice activation device compatibility. We witnessed a growth in chilled beam commercial product sales with positive outlook driven by focus on more energy efficient commercial buildings, and special dealer arrangements.

We saw a continued growth in US window and portable evaporative cooler product sales. New rooftop evaporative cooler was developed for the US market, and was well received. We strengthened our presence with The Home Depot during this year and also got listed with Lowe's.

During this year, we focused massively on product value engineering, (and also invested the required capital to fund these value engineering projects, product and parts SKU rationalisation, and on establishing better value global sources through the resources of group companies. All these measures are expected to yield results in the coming years. During the year, we re-structured supply chain department to focus on global sourcing. Also, a quality manager was inducted to drive product and process quality improvement.

6S was rolled out to improve business process.

We have plans for substantial growth for CT – both in Australia as well as USA and necessary strategies are in place for the same.

(O) Company's Recommendations to the Shareholders

The Company has following recommendations to members to mitigate/ avoid risks while dealing with shares and related matters:

1. Dematerialisation (demat) of shares

Members are requested to demat their physical shares through any of the Depository Participants (DPs) to avoid the problems involved in the physical shares such as possibility of loss, mutilation, etc. and also to ensure safe and speedy transaction in shares.

Holding shares in demat form helps members to get immediate transfer. No stamp duty is payable on transfer of shares held in demat form and risks associated with physical certificates such as forged transfers, fake certificates and bad deliveries are avoided.

2. Register your National Electronic Clearing Service (NECS) Mandate

Members are encouraged to register an NECS mandate to Company or registrar and share transfer agent in case of shares held in physical form and ensure that the correct and updated particulars of their bank accounts are registered with the DPs in case of shares held in demat form. This would facilitate in receiving direct credits of dividends etc. from Company and avoiding postal delays and loss in transit.

3. Encash your Dividends on time

Members who have not registered their bank details with Company or DP are requested to encash their dividend warrants promptly to avoid problems of revalidation/losing your right of claim due to transfer of unclaimed dividends to Investor Education and Protection Fund.

4. To support the 'Green Initiative'

Members holding shares in demat form are requested to register their email id with their DPs and members holding shares in physical form are requested to register their email addresses with the registrar and share transfer agent. This would facilitate receipt of the annual report and other communications from the Company through email.

5. KPRISM- Mobile service application by Karvy:

Members are requested to note that, Registrar and Share Transfer Agents, M/S KARVY Fintech Private Limited have launched a new mobile application - KPRISM and website https://kprism.karvy.com for online service to shareholders.

Consolidated Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To

The Members of Symphony Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Symphony Limited ("the Parent") and its subsidiaries, (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ('Ind AS'), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2019, and their consolidated profit, their consolidated total comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and their consolidated changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matters

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

The yield implied in the price for both the securities was computed as of the date of trade. An average of the implied yields was considered for purpose of fair value calculations. The discounted cash flow method was applied to calculate the present value of coupon payments and redemption amount at respective payment dates.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Parent's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report and Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

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

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

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Parent's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated changes in equity of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Parent as aforesaid.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Other Matters

We did not audit the financial statements of five subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets of H399.44 Crore as at March 31, 2019, total revenues of H356.74 Crore and net cash inflows/ (outflows) amounting to H9.57 Crore for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. 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, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and our report in terms of subsection (3) of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it relates to the aforesaid subsidiaries is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial

statements above and our report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements below, is not modified in respect of the above matters with respect to our reliance on the work done and reports of other auditors.

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Symphony Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Parent"), as of that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Board of Directors of the Parent, 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 ("the 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 Parent's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor's Responsibility

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

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Parent, has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, 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.

150 | Symphony Limited

(1) Corporate Information

Symphony Limited ("The Holding Company"), a premier air cooling Company was established in the year 1988. The Holding Company and its subsidiaries (together the holding Company and its subsidiaries constitute "the Group") are in the field of residential, commercial and industrial air cooling and other appliances both in the domestic and international markets. The addresses of the registered offices and principal place of business are disclosed under corporate information in the annual report.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

i) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

ii) Basis of preparation and presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.

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

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

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

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

iii) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

• has power over the investee;
• is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

• the size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
• potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
• rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group's accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

The excess of cost to the Group of its investments in the subsidiary companies over its share of equity of the subsidiary companies at the dates on which the investments in the subsidiary companies were made, is recognised as 'Goodwill' being an asset in the consolidated financial statements and is tested for impairment on annual basis. The

Goodwill is determined separately for each subsidiary Company and such amounts are not set off between different entities.

Following subsidiary companies have been considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Sr. No.	Name of Subsidiary Company	Country of Incorporation	Extent of Holding/ Voting Power (%) as
			on March 31, 2019
1	IMPCO, S. DE R.L DE C. V.	Mexico	100
2	Guangdong Symphony	China	100
	Keruilai Air Coolers Co., Ltd
3	Symphony AU Pty. Ltd.	Australia	95
4	Climate Technologies Pty. Ltd.	Australia	95
5	Bonaire USA LLC	USA	95

iv) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.

v) Changes in the Group's ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable Ind AS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when

control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under Ind AS 109, or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

vi) Revenue Recognition

a) Revenue from contracts with customer

Revenue from contract with customers is recognised when the Group satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods and services to the customer. Performance obligations are satisfied at the point of time when the customer obtains controls of the asset. Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, stated net of discounts, returns and goods & service tax. Transaction price is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales incentives/ discounts if any.

b) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably).

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

vii) Leasing

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

The Group as lessee

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic

basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

viii)Foreign currencies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of each individual Group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

For the purposes of presenting these consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated into Indian Rupees using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

ix) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

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

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

x) Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

xi) Employee Benefits

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• remeasurement

The Group presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'Employee benefits expense'. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

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

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

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

xii) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

xiii)Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Useful lives of tangible assets

Estimated useful lives of the tangible assets are as follows:

Buildings	10-60 years
Machinery and equipment	5-20 years
Transportation equipments	4-8 years
Furniture and fixtures,	3-10 years
Computers & Office Equipment

Capital work in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

xiv) Intangible Fixed Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
• the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:

Software	6 years
Trademarks	5 years
Designs	5 years
Copy Rights	5 years

xv) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

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.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

xvi)Inventories

Raw materials and traded goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The costs of these items of inventory comprises of cost of purchase and other incidental costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. However, raw materials are written down below cost only when the finished product to which they belong are written down below cost and the replacement cost of that raw material is lower than cost. Cost of raw materials and traded goods are determined on "Moving Average" basis.

Work-in-process and Finished goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost includes direct materials, labour, other direct costs and related production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on "Moving Average" basis.

xvii) Provisions

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

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

xviii) Warranties

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group's obligation.

xix)Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

xx) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

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

For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer para of Impairment of financial assets.

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of 'Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income'. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

For the impairment policy on debt instruments at FVTOCI, refer para of Impairment of financial assets.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL.

Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'Other income' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Group estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

If the Group measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Group again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.

When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Group uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.

For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18, the Group always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

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

The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally applied to debt instruments at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance sheet.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Group retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

xxi)Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group, and commitments issued by the Group to provide a loan at below-market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'Finance costs' line item.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by a Group entity are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the 'Other income' line item.

xxii) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Group are segregated based on the available information.

xxiii) Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

xxiv) Recent accounting pronouncements

Ind AS 116, Leases: The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Ind AS 116, Leases which will be effective from April 01, 2019. Ind AS 116 would replace the existing leases standard Ind AS 17. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures for both parties to a contract, i.e. the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of profit and loss. The Group is currently evaluating the requirements of Ind AS 116 on the financial statements. The Group believes that the definition of lease under Ind AS 116 would not significantly change the scope of contracts that meet the definition of a lease.

Amendment to Ind AS 12 'Income Taxes': On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified limited amendments to Ind AS 12 'Income Taxes'. The amendments require an entity to recognise the income tax consequences of dividends as defined in Ind AS 109 when it recognises a liability to pay a dividend. The income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners.

Therefore, an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The amendment will come into force for accounting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Group is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

Appendix C to Ind AS 12, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 containing Appendix C to Ind AS 12, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which clarifies the application and measurement requirements in Ind AS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The current and deferred tax asset or liability shall be recognised and measured by applying the requirements in Ind AS 12 based on the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined by applying this appendix. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Group is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 19 'Employee Benefits': On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified limited amendments to Ind AS 19 'Employee Benefits' in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement and to recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amendment will come into force for accounting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Group is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

(9) Trade Receivables

	104.69	61.51

Majority business of the Group is on Cash and Carry basis, for credit business the Group trades with recognised and credit worthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Group has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables for credit sales based on provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Ageing	Expected credit loss (%)
Within the credit period
1-90 days past due	0.00%-0.15%
91-180 days past due	0.00%-9.09%
181-360 days past due	0%
More than 360 days past due	0%

181-360 days past due	0.03	0.05
More than 360 days past due	0.28	0.36

No allowance has been made for expected credit loss as there are no trade receivables outstanding, at the end of the year, in the buckets that require an allowance.

The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.

The Group makes provident fund contribution which is defined contribution plan, for qualifying employees. Under the scheme, the Group is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Group recognised C1.41 Crores (Year ended March 31, 2018 C1.45 Crores) for provident fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The plan typically expose the Group to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

Investment risk:	The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments.
Interest risk:	A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Securities. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Longevity risk:	Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.

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

The Present value of gratuity obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

I. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of actuarial valuation were as follows:

(49) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Financial risk management objectives

The Group's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's risk management is done in close co-ordination with the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Group's short, medium and long-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to volatile financial markets. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The most significant risks to which the Group is exposed are described below:

(49) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (contd.)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk which impact returns on investments. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis.

Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group minimise foreign currency risk by taking 100% advance in majority cases. The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

				(All figures in Crores)
Foreign		As at March 31, 2019	As at March 31, 2018
currency	Foreign currency	Foreign currency	Foreign currency	Foreign currency
exposure	monetary assets	monetary liabilities	monetary assets	monetary liabilities
USD	0.07	0.06	0.16	0.02
EURO	-	-	0.00	-
RMB	-	0.07	-	-

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the C against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their transaction at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the C strengthens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the C against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative. ( H in Crores)

reporting year (net of tax)

(49) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (contd.) Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk, principally consist of balance with banks, investments (Bond, NCD, preference share and mutual fund), trade receivables, loans and advances.

Balances with banks were not past due or impaired as at the year end. In other financial assets that are not past dues and not impaired, there were no indication of default in repayment as at the year end.

The age analysis of trade receivables as of the balance sheet date have been considered from the due date and disclosed in the Note No. 9 above.

The Group has used a practical expedient by computing the expected loss allowance for financial assets based on historical credit loss experience and adjustments for forward looking information.

Since majority business of the Group is on Cash and Carry basis, for credit business the Group trades with recognised and credit worthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant and hence no adjustment is made for expected credit loss allowance.

Price risk

The Group's exposure to price risk arises from investments in Bond, NCD, preference share and mutual fund held by the Group and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through OCI and at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

The table below summarises the impact of increases / decreases of the index on the Group's equity and profit for the year. ( ^H in Crores)

(49) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (contd.)

Interest rate risk

• (i) The Group's majority investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Except in case of Market Linked Debentures the Group is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.
• (ii) Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. The Group's policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on working capital financing. As at March 31,2019, the Group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rate.

Interest rates	+0.50%	(0.94)	(0.13)
Interest rates	-0.50%	0.94	0.13

Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To

The Members of Symphony Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Symphony Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2019, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility 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 (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

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

S r.	Key Audit Matter	Auditor's Response
No. 1	Occurrence and timely recognition of	Principal audit procedures performed:
	Revenue: We refer to the Company's accounting policies on Revenue and disclosure in note 2(iii) to the standalone financial statements.	Our audit approach consisted of testing the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls and substantive testing as below: • Assessed the appropriateness of the Company's
	We focused on this area as a key audit matter due to the risk of incorrect timing of revenue recognition and its non-occurrence. The revenue recognition occurs when the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the promised good at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the said goods. Since the Company focuses on revenue as one of the key performance measure, it could create an incentive for revenue to be recognised though the performance obligations have not been satisfied by the Company. Accordingly, revenue recognition was determined to be a key audit matter and a significant risk of material misstatement.	revenue recognition accounting policies by comparing with applicable accounting standards. • Tested the effectiveness of the Company's controls over the correct and timely recognition of revenue. • Obtained supporting documentation for sales transactions recorded during the year to determine whether revenue was occurred and recognised in the correct period. • Assessed the revenue recognised with substantive analytical procedures to ascertain whether the revenue recognised has any unexplained variations. • Assessed the adequacy of the Company's disclosures related to revenues.
2	Recognition of loss allowance as per Ind AS 109 on financial instruments	We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key controls focussing on the following:
	measured at fair value A significant degree of judgement is required to determine the amount of loss allowance to be recognised with respect to investments made in financial instruments which are fair valued through other comprehensive income. The Company has material investments in the said category of financial instruments wherein significant downgrade in the fair value of some instruments have been observed and accordingly loss allowance for the same has been recognised. Refer note 38.1 to the standalone financial statements.	• Identification of loss events, including early warning and default warning indicators; • Assessment and approval of individual impairment provisions; • Governance including model validation and the assessment of the suitability of models, appropriateness of assumptions, consideration of post model adjustments and approval of provisions; and • Completeness and accuracy of data input into models and provision calculators. In additions For modelled provisions we tested data inputs and agreed a sample of data used in the models and calculators to source systems. We involved our fair valuation specialists to test the assumptions and calculations. We evaluated the methodology to establish model parameters and assessed the appropriateness of the models used.
		The last traded market prices of two similar securities, of the same Company were considered. The yield implied in the price for both the securities was computed as of the date of trade. An average of the implied yields was considered for purpose of fair value calculations. The discounted cash flow method was applied to calculate the present value of coupon payments and redemption amount at respective payment dates.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

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

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

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

Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

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

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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.

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

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

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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

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

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

• a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Subsection 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Symphony Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control 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. 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 respective Company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

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

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

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us the Company has in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the criteria for internal financial control over financial reporting established by the respective 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.

(1) Corporate Information

Symphony Limited ("The Company"), a premier air cooling Company was established in the year 1988. The Company is in the field of residential, commercial and industrial air cooling and other appliances both in the domestic and international markets. The addresses of its registered office and principal place of business are disclosed under corporate information in the annual report.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

i) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards ("Ind AS") notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read together with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

ii) Basis of preparation and presentation

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

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

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 or value in use in Ind AS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

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

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

iii) Revenue Recognition

a) Revenue from contracts with customer

Revenue from contract with customers is recognised when the Company satisfies performance obligation by transferring promised goods and services to the customer. Performance obligations are satisfied at the point of time when the customer obtains controls of the asset. Revenue is measured based on transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, stated net of discounts, returns and goods & service tax. Transaction price is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales incentives/ discounts if any.

b) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably).

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

iv) Leasing

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

The Company as lessee

Rental expense from operating leases is generally recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the rentals are structured solely to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases, such increases are recognised in the year in which such benefits accrue. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

v) Foreign currencies

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

vi) Employee Benefits

Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows:

• service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements);
• net interest expense or income; and
• remeasurement

The Company presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in profit or loss in the line item 'Employee benefits expense'. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.

The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

Short-term and other long-term employee benefits

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

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

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

vii) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

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

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

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

Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

viii)Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Useful lives of tangible assets

Estimated useful lives of the tangible assets are as follows:

Buildings	30-60 years
Plant & Machinery	10-15 years
Furniture & Fixtures	10 years
Vehicles	8 years
Office Equipments	5 years
Computers	3-6 years

Capital work in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss, if any.

ix) Intangible Fixed Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

• the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
• the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
• the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
• how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
• the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Useful lives of intangible assets

Estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:

Software	6 years
Trademarks	5 years
Designs	5 years
Copy Rights	5 years

x) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest Company of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

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.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cashgenerating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

xi) Inventories

Raw materials and traded goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The costs of these items of inventory comprises of cost of purchase and other incidental

costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and condition. However, raw materials are written down below cost only when the finished product to which they belong are written down below cost and the replacement cost of that raw material is lower than cost. Cost of raw materials and traded goods are determined on "Moving Average" basis.

Work-in-process and Finished goods are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost includes direct materials and labour. Cost is determined on "Moving Average" basis.

xii) Provisions

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

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).

xiii)Warranties

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under local sale of goods legislation are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company's obligation.

xiv)Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

xv) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial

assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification of financial assets

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:

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

For the impairment policy on financial assets measured at amortised cost, refer para of Impairment of financial assets.

Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:

• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are treated as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in the fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of 'Reserve for debt instruments through other comprehensive income'. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in this reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

For the impairment policy on debt instruments at FVTOCI, refer para of Impairment of financial assets.

All other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate,

transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the "Other income" line item.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL.

Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or FVTOCI criteria (see above) are measured at FVTPL. In addition, debt instruments that meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria but are designated as at FVTPL are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'Other income' line item. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, the dividend does not represent a recovery of part of cost of the investment and the amount of dividend can be measured reliably.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments at FVTOCI, trade receivables, other contractual rights to receive cash or other financial asset, and financial guarantees not designated as at FVTPL.

Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets). The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) through the expected life of that financial instrument.

The Company measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit

losses. 12-month expected credit losses are portion of the life-time expected credit losses and represent the lifetime cash shortfalls that will result if default occurs within the 12 months after the reporting date and thus, are not cash shortfalls that are predicted over the next 12 months.

If the Company measured loss allowance for a financial instrument at lifetime expected credit loss model in the previous period, but determines at the end of a reporting period that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition due to improvement in credit quality as compared to the previous period, the Company again measures the loss allowance based on 12-month expected credit losses.

When making the assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses. To make that assessment, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition and considers reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or effort, that is indicative of significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.

For trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18, the Company always measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

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

The impairment requirements for the recognition and measurement of a loss allowance are equally applied to debt instruments at FVTOCI except that the loss allowance is recognised in other comprehensive income and is not reduced from the carrying amount in the balance sheet.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety (e.g. when the Company retains an option to repurchase part of a transferred asset), the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in profit or loss on disposal of that financial asset. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

xvi)Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

However, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company, and commitments issued by the Company to provide a loan at below-market interest rate are measured in accordance with the specific accounting policies set out below.

Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost

Financial liabilities that are not held-for-trading and are not designated as at FVTPL are measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. The carrying amounts of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost are determined based on the effective interest method. Interest expense that is not capitalised as part of costs of an asset is included in the 'Finance costs' line item.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by a Company entity are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

• the amount of loss allowance determined in accordance with impairment requirements of Ind AS 109; and
• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of Ind AS 18.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. An exchange with a lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the 'Other income' line item.

xvii) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.

xviii) Operating Cycle

Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

xix)Recent accounting pronouncements

Ind AS 116, Leases: The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Ind AS 116, Leases which will be effective from April 01, 2019. Ind AS 116 would replace the existing leases standard Ind AS 17. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures for both parties to a contract, i.e. the lessee and the

lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of profit and loss. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of Ind AS 116 on the financial statements. The Company believes that the definition of lease under Ind AS 116 would not significantly change the scope of contracts that meet the definition of a lease.

Amendment to Ind AS 12 'Income Taxes': On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified limited amendments to Ind AS 12 'Income Taxes'. The amendments require an entity to recognise the income tax consequences of dividends as defined in Ind AS 109 when it recognises a liability to pay a dividend. The income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners.

Therefore, an entity shall recognise the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognised those past transactions or events. The amendment will come into force for accounting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

Appendix C to Ind AS 12, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments: On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 containing Appendix C to Ind AS 12, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which clarifies the application and measurement requirements in Ind AS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The current and deferred tax asset or liability shall be recognised and measured by applying the requirements in Ind AS 12 based on the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates determined by applying this appendix. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

Amendment to Ind AS 19 'Employee Benefits': On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified limited amendments to Ind AS 19 'Employee Benefits' in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement and to recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amendment will come into force for accounting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of the above in the financial statements.

(9) Trade Receivables

Credit impaired	0.00	0.01
Less : Allowances for credit losses	(0.00)	(0.01)
	42.45	44.06

Majority domestic business of the Company is on Cash and Carry basis, for credit business the Company trades with recognised and credit worthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables for Exports Sales based on provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

Ageing	Expected credit loss (%)
Within the credit period
1-90 days past due	0.00%
91-180 days past due	0.00%
181-360 days past due	0.00%
More than 360 days past due	0.00%

Age of receivables for export sales		( H in Crores)
Particulars	As at 31/03/2019	As at 31/03/2018
Within the credit period
1-90 days past due	1.25	9.87
91-180 days past due	-	-
181-360 days past due	-	-
More than 360 days past due	-	-

No allowance has been made for expected credit loss as export business trade receivables are outstanding for less than 90 days.

The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the fact that the customer base is large and unrelated.

(A) Defined contribution plans

The Company makes provident fund contribution which is defined contribution plan, for qualifying employees. Under the scheme, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to fund the benefits. The Company recognised C1.41 Crores (Year ended March 31, 2018 C1.45 Crores) for provident fund contributions in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The contribution payable to this plan by the Company is at rate specified in the rule of the scheme.

(B) Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan of the Company includes entitlement of gratuity for each year of service until the retirement age.

The plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

Investment risk:	The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities and other debt instruments.
Interest risk:	A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the Government Securities. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
Longevity risk:	Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.

(36) Employee Benefits (contd.)

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

The Present value of gratuity obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

I. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of actuarial valuation were as follows:

Particulars	As at	As at
	March 31, 2019	March 31, 2018

(44) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Financial risk management objectives

The Company's management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is done in close co-ordination with the board of directors and focuses on actively securing the Company's short, medium and long-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to volatile financial markets. The Company does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The most significant risks to which the Company is exposed are described below:

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of any loss in future earnings, in realisable fair values or in future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The Company's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and price risk which impact returns on investments. Market risk exposures are measured using sensitivity analysis.

(44) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (contd.)

Foreign currency risk management

The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company minimise foreign currency risk by taking 100% advance in majority cases. The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

	(All figures in Crores)
Particulars	As at March 31, 2019			As at March 31, 2018
	Foreign currency monetary assets	Foreign currency monetary liabilities	Foreign currency monetary assets	Foreign currency monetary liabilities
USD	0.20	0.00	0.21	-
EURO	-	-	0.00	-
AUD	0.01	-	-	-
RMB	-	0.05	-	-

Foreign currency sensitivity

The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the C against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their transaction at the period end for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity where the C strengthens 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the C against the relevant currency, there would be a comparable impact on the profit or equity, and the balances below would be negative.

(44) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (contd.)

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company.

Financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk, principally consist of balance with banks, investments (Bond, NCD, preference share and mutual fund), trade receivables, loans and advances.

Balances with banks were not past due or impaired as at the year end. In other financial assets that are not past dues and not impaired, there were no indication of default in repayment as at the year end.

The age analysis of trade receivables as of the balance sheet date have been considered from the due date and disclosed in the Note No. 9 above.

The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected loss allowance for financial assets based on historical credit loss experience and adjustments for forward looking information.

Since majority business of the Company is on Cash and Carry basis, for credit business the Company trades with recognised and credit worthy third parties. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis with the result that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant and hence no adjustment is made for expected credit loss allowance.

Price risk

The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments in Bond, NCD, preference share and mutual fund held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet at fair value through OCI and at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

Interest rate risk

The Company's majority investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing investments. Except in case of Market Linked Debentures the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
