2. MATERIAL CHANGES & COMMITMENTS:
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company
In wake of COVID-19, The national lockdown was imposed in India from 24[th] March, 2020 due to which the business was completely inactive till the end of May, 2020. All the workforce migrated due to the pandemic and even after the lockdown, the onsite workforce shortage created a pause into the business. However, the spread of COVID-19 is posing a slow execution of orders, we are hopeful that the business performance will gain momentum with the ease of lockdown, transportation and the availability of the manpower resources.
Ability to maintain operations including the factories/units/office spaces functioning and closed down
After the ease of lockdown since 18[th] May, 2020, the head office of the company resumed its functions. However, the field operations are still facing problems due to unavailability of resources in full force. All safety guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health affairs and respective state governments have been followed strictly. The staff have been provided facility to work from home, minimizing the working hours to reduce the head count to the extent possible. The Company has potential and enough resources to resume the progress of the company.
Steps taken to ensure smooth functioning of operations
The management has been prompt and attentive towards the difficulties faced by the business and several steps have been taken to keep the operations up and running. The following steps were taken in this regard:
11
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
-
Employees engaged in critical fields were given opportunity to work from home during lockdown, to provide uninterrupted support to our customers.
-
HR team was constantly in touch with all the employees to create an awareness amongst employees on COVID-19 and need for safety practices such as sanitization, social distancing and personal hygiene.
-
Flexibility in time and work location were provided to both internal and external staff to keep the operations in line with the stipulated timeframe.
-
Sanitization protocol, thermal screening, social distancing, wearing of masks, Arogya Setu App, adequate supply of materials, consumables, power, fuel, transportation etc. were ensured after the ease of lockdown during workplaces.
-
Adequate Internal control and prompt solutions to the problems were provided to speed up the work.
Impact of COVID-19 on Capital, Financial Resources and liquidity
The Company has no plan to increase its capital. Although we are in process of enhancing our working capital limits to meet the current liabilities. Due to COVID-19, the liquid position of the company was affected. The discussion with the banks to pump new funds were not encouraging. We expect that the company will recover soon with the restart of its operations and generation of revenue in the forthcoming quarter.
Impact on Operations and Profitability
Operations were halted due to COVID-19, which will come to a normal pace in the near future. The profitability is definitely affected, clear picture of which can be seen only after the audit.
Ability to service debts and other financial arrangements
The Company is trying its best to upkeep its financial arrangements to serve its debts. Although there has been a delay and deferment, the company is confident that it will improve its position in the near future.
Assets
The Company has adequate Fixed and Current Assets and there has been no impact on the Assets due to pandemic. The Company considers its dedicated employees as the real asset, which we believe to retain and nurture.
Existing contracts/agreements where non-fulfilment of the obligations by any party will have significant impact on the listed entity’s business
There is no significant impact on the existing contracts and agreements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
Annexure A
The Industry had a very productive year, engaging with customers, expanding and deepening our relationships with vendors, deploying impactful solutions. Although the world has changed profoundly, when we look back, it feels like a different era altogether. Your company implements the Digital Projects as E-governance, System Integration, and building IT and non-IT infrastructure for Optical Fibre Cable and Broad band services. The operations require physical presence of manpower resources on site for delivery of services and integration of the equipment and upkeep of the same. The national lockdown in wake of COVID-19 was imposed in India from 24th March, 2020 due to which the business was completely inactive till the end of May, 2020. All the workforce migrated due to the pandemic and even after the lockdown, the onsite workforce shortage created a pause into the business. However, the spread of COVID-19 is posing a slow execution of orders, we are hopeful that the business performance will gain momentum with the ease of lockdown, transportation and the availability of the manpower resources.
ECONOMIC SCENARIO AND OUTLOOK
The IT-ITES sector in India stood at US$177 billion in 2019-20 witnessing a growth of 6.1 per cent year-on-year and is estimated that the size of the industry will grow to US$ 350 billion by 2025. Indian IT's core competencies and strengths have attracted significant investment from major countries. The journey of e-Governance initiatives in India took a broader dimension, where it has been noted that a lot more thrust is required to ensure e-Governance in the country to promote inclusive growth that covers electronic services, products, devices and job opportunities.
India is emerging as the hub for “Digital Skills”. India is transforming into a digital economy with over 450 mn plus internet subscribers; only second to China. The National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) aims to connect all 250,000 Gram Panchayats (village council) in the country with high-speed broadband.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
To enable India’s transition into a digital economy, Ministries have fully leveraged the Common platform, laid down the standards and policy guidelines and Support ICT Infrastructure established by GoI. The initiative includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India consists of three core components: the development of secure and stable digital infrastructure, delivering government services digitally, and universal digital literacy. The Cabinet has approved the implementation of National Optical Fiber Network (NOFN) for providing broadband connectivity to 2,50,000 Gram Panchayats with a financial outlay of Rs. 20,100 Crore.
OPPORTUNITIES
With the introduction of the DIGITAL INDIA PROGRAM, both the Central and State Governments are opening the door for non-government companies to work on Public Private Partnership for execution of their projects. Over the past decade, the Indian IT-ITeS sector has grown rapidly and achieved significant milestones in terms of revenue, employment generation and value creation. Seeing the past performance of our company, we are confident that we will get more extensive projects in near future.
RISKS & CONCERNS
In the given scenario, the omnipresent threat grew even faster than anticipated. New risks emerged as the severity; volatility and pace of change fostered opportunities and incentives for security. If you need to develop something large, it has to have massive demand scale, and that can be very difficult to bootstrap as a business. Thus, the industry is facing a lifecycle that requires small things that minimal features and mass market popularity, with low prices, with a vague and fickle future possibility of adding more capabilities.
Software industry may be in for the same economic problems that the traditional news and media industries face now: high costs, diminished traditional revenue streams, and reliance on things other than the product itself to make money. These are different challenges than the software itself as a set of technical and project management problems:
19
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
-
Low budgeted value of projects :
-
Government projects are sometimes very low budgeted. It becomes difficult to get award of contracts due to high impact cost of project. The company has its dedicated team to analyse, budget and quote reasonable value to meet the levels of bidding.
-
Delayed revenue:
-
Receipt of revenue is slightly slower than expected, as government payments are subject to various clearances by government officials. The company is making adequate provisions to cater the requirement of new projects.
-
Less finance available: Some projects may be easier to finance than others (if there is proven technology involved and/ or the extent of the private sectors obligations and liability is clearly identifiable). Seeing the slow realisation of profits, Banks and Financial institutions are reluctant to fund the projects. The management is aware of this and has taken the necessary initiatives to mitigate the risk.
-
Technology Obsolescence
-
These are the days when technology takes no time to become obsolete. Thus, to be on par with the competitors your Company is continually making effort to ensure that it constantly updates and upgrades its technology.
-
Increasing Competition The entry of large players will result in fierce competition and raising the bar for eligibility. This will impact the business of the Company. The company’s management is continuously making efforts to mitigate this risk.
COMPANY’S OUTLOOK
E-governance in India is progressively evolving from basic digitization of government data and processes to actually facilitating delivery of various citizen services online. A common vision and strategy is being deliberated and firmed up across all levels of government Central, State and local bodies. This approach has huge potential in garnering cost savings, increasing transparency, and presenting a seamless view of government to citizens.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members of TERA SOFTWARE LIMITED
Report on the Audit of Ind AS Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Tera Software Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet, as at March 31, 2020, the statement of profit and loss (Including Other Comprehensive Income), the statement of Changes in Equity, the statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (“the financial statements”).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind AS 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, 2020, its profit, its total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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.No | Key Audit Matter | Auditor’s Response |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Provision for impairment loss in accounts receivables. The credit loss provision in respect of Account receivables represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses incurred on the receivables at the balance sheet date. |
Our audit procedure in respect of this area included : Understand and assess the management’s estimate and related policies used in the credit loss analysis. Performed test of key controls to analyse operating effectiveness relating to calculation of impairment provisions. |
48
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
| We have identified provisioning for credit loss as a key audit matter as the calculation of credit loss provision is a complex area and requires management to make significant assumptions on customer payment behaviour and estimating the level and timing of expected future cash flows, |
• Reviewed the data flows from source systems to spreadsheet-based models to test their completeness and accuracy. • For Expected Credit Loss (ECL) of trade receivables assessed on individual level by the management, examined on a test check impairment of trade receivables and the key assumptions used in the estimate of the cash shortfalls and reviewed whether amounts have been recovered after the end of reporting period. • Reviewed the management’s ageing analysis based on days past due by examining the original documents (such as invoices and bank deposit advices). • Verified the calculation of ECL of each type of trade receivables accordingto theprovision matrix. |

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 thereto, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, 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. It 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 Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 SA’s 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 control, collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the 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 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other mailers, 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.
50
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2020, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
1. Statement of compliance
The company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act’ 2013 and the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016 as applicable. The financials of the company for the year ended March 31, 2020 and year ended March 31, 2019 are prepared in compliance with Ind AS.
2. Basis of accounting
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) under the historical cost convention on accrual basis as stated in the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('Act'). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.
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 measurements under Ind AS are categorized as below 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:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the valuation of assets/liabilities.
3. Presentation of financial statements
The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Profit and Loss are prepared and presented in the format prescribed in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). The statement of cash flows has been prepared and presented as per the requirements of Ind AS 7 “Statement of Cash flows”. The disclosure requirements with respect to items in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit and Loss, as prescribed in the Schedule III to the Act, are presented by way of notes forming part of the financial statements along with the other notes required to be disclosed under the notified Accounting Standards.
4. Operating cycle for current and non-current classification
Operating cycle for the business activities of the company covers the duration of the specific project/contract/product line/service including the defect liability period wherever applicable and extends up to the realization of receivables (including retention monies) within the agreed credit period normally applicable to the respective lines of business.
5. Revenue recognition
The company accounts and recognizes contract with a customer only when the following criteria are met:
(a) The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations;
60
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
-
(b) The entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;
-
(c) The entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;
-
(d) The contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and
-
(e) It is probable that the company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectability of an amount of consideration is probable, the company considers only the customer’s ability and intention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.
The amount of consideration to which the company will be entitled may be less than the price stated in the contract if the consideration is variable because the entity may offer the customer a price concession.
At contract inception, the company shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either:
a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
The company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to the customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.
When a performance obligation is satisfied, the company shall recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. Determining the transaction price, the company shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.
6. Exceptional Items
Exceptional Items represents the nature of transactions which are not in recurring nature during the ordinary course of business but lead to increase / decrease in profit / loss for the year.
7. Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
PPE is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. PPE is stated at original cost net of tax/duty credits availed, if any, less accumulated depreciation and cumulative impairment, if any. Property, plant and equipment acquired on hire purchase basis are recognized at their cash values. Cost includes professional fees related to the acquisition of PPE and for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the company’s accounting policy.
PPE not ready for the intended uses on the date of the Balance Sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”.
Depreciation is recognized using straight line method so as to write off the cost of the assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.
61
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
Where cost of a part of the asset (“asset component”) is significant to total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and such asset component is depreciated over its separate useful life.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
8. Investment property
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured in accordance with the Ind AS16’s requirement for cost model. An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no further economic benefits expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.
9. Intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recognized when the Company controls the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.
At initial recognition, the separately acquired intangible assets are recognized at cost.
Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life and amortization method 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 are amortized on straight line basis over the estimated useful life. The method of amortization and useful life is being reviewed at the end of each accounting year with the effect of any changes in the estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
10. Impairment of assets
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment:
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by
62

11. Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits:
Employee benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, expected cost of bonus, ex-gratia and performance-linked rewards falling due wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term employee benefits and are expensed in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Post-employment benefits:
Provident Fund
The company makes contribution to Provident Fund administered by the Central Government under The Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and recognizes the same as an expense in the profit and loss account.
Gratuity
For defined post-employment benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), is reflected immediately in the balance sheet with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re measurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized 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.
12. Leases
The determination of whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement at the date of inception.
(i) Finance leases
-
a) Leases where the company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the related assets are classified as finance leases. Assets under finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each period.
-
b) Assets given under a finance lease are recognized as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease income is recognized over the period of the lease so as to yield a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease.
-
(ii) Operating leases:
The leases which are not classified as finance lease are operating leases.
-
a) Lease rentals on assets under operating lease are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
-
b) Assets leased out under operating leases are continued to be shown under the respective class of assets. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
63
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
13. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and/or financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes party to a contract embodying the related financial instruments. All financial assets, financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at transaction values and where such values are different from the fair value, at fair value. Transaction costs that are 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 as the case may be, the fair value of such assets or liabilities, 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.
13.1Financial assets
-
Financial asset is
-
Cash / Equity Instrument of another Entity,
-
Contractual right to:
-
a) Receive Cash / another Financial Asset from another Entity, or
-
b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the Entity.
-
A. All recognized financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at amortized cost or at fair value depending on the classification of the financial assets as follows:
-
i) Investments in debt Instruments that are designated as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - at fair value.
-
ii) Other investments in debt instruments – at amortized cost, subject to following conditions:
-
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
The contractual terms of instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-
iii) Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (unless the same are designated as fair value through profit or loss)
-
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 instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-
iv) Investment in equity instruments issued by subsidiary, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less impairment.
-
v) Investment in preference shares of the subsidiary companies are treated as equity instruments if the same are convertible into equity shares or are redeemable out of the proceeds of equity instruments issued for the purpose of redemption of such investments. Investment in preference shares not meeting the aforesaid conditions are classified as debt instruments at FVTPL.
-
vi) Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless the related instruments are not held for trading and the company irrevocably elects on initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value in Other Comprehensive Income.
64
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
For financial assets that are measured at FVTOCI, income by way of interest, dividend and exchange difference (on debt instrument) is recognised in profit or loss and changes in fair value (other than on account of such income) are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in other equity. On disposal of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in other equity is reclassified to profit or loss. In case of equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, such cumulative gain or loss is not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of investments.
-
B. A financial asset is primarily derecognized when:[[
-
i) The right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired, or
-
ii) The company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and (a) the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or b) the company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the differences between the carrying amounts measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.
- C. Impairment of financial assets: The Company recognises impairment loss on trade receivables using expected credit loss model, which involves use of a provision matrix constructed on the basis of historical credit loss experience as permitted under Ind AS 109.
13.2Financial liabilities
Financial liability is Contractual Obligation to
-
a) Deliver Cash or another Financial Asset to another Entity, or
-
b) Exchange Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities with another Entity under conditions that is potentially unfavorable to the Entity.
Financial liabilities, including derivatives and embedded derivatives, which are designated for measurement at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Financial guarantee contracts are subsequently measured at the amount of impairment loss allowance or the amount recognized at inception net of cumulative amortization, whichever is higher. All other financial liabilities including loans and borrowings are measured at amortized cost using Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method.
Financial liability is derecognized when the related obligation expires or is discharged or cancelled.
13.3 Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value and such value may or may not be realized.
13.4 Fair value measurement
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received on sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
65
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
-
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
b) In the absence of principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
-
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
14. Inventories
Inventories are valued after providing for obsolescence, as under:
-
a) Raw materials, components, construction materials, stores, spares and loose tools at lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.
-
b) Finished goods and stock-in-trade (in respect of goods acquired for trading) at lower of weighted average cost or net realisable value. Cost includes related overheads and excise duty paid/payable on such goods.
Assessment of net realisable value is made in each subsequent period and when the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written-down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realisable value because of changed economic circumstances, the write-down, if any, in the past period is reversed to the extent of the original amount written-down so that the resultant carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realisable value.
15. Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances also include fixed deposits, margin money deposits, earmarked balances with banks and other bank balances which have restrictions on repatriation. Short term and liquid investments being subject to more than insignificant risk of change in value, are not included as part of cash and cash equivalents.
16. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance charges in respect of assets acquired on finance lease and exchange differences arising on foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
Borrowing costs net of any investment income from the temporary investment of related borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised/inventoried as part of cost of such asset till such time the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
17. Foreign currencies
-
i) The functional currency and presentation currency of the company is Indian Rupee.
-
ii) Transactions in currencies other than the company’s functional currency are recorded on initial recognition using the exchange rate at the transaction date. At each Balance Sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting of monetary items at each Balance Sheet date at the closing spot rate are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
66
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
-
a) Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings; and
-
b) Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
18. Taxes on income
Income tax expense represents sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax
Current Tax
Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and other applicable tax laws 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 utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that in addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
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.
19. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognised only when:
a)the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
b)it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and c)a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation and when the effect of time value of money is material, the carrying amount of the provision is the present value of those cash flows.
Contingent assets are disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
67
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
Where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under such contract, the present obligation under the contract is recognised and measured as a provision.
20. Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities based on the available information. Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method, adjusting the net profit for the effects of:
-
i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables transactions of a non-cash nature;
-
ii) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates; and
-
iii) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
21. Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per equity share are computed by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit for the year, adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential equity shares, attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of the equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding during the year except where the results are anti-dilutive.
22. Critical Accounting Judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities affected in future periods. The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statement.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Depreciation/ amortization and Useful life of Property, Plant and equipment
The company reviews the estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates. During the current year, there has been no change in life considered for the assets.
68
==> picture [97 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
Recoverability of trade receivables
Judgements are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. Factors considered to determine the provision include the credit rating of the counterparty, the amount and timing of anticipated future payments and any possible actions that can be taken to mitigate the risk of non-payment.
Estimation of net realizable value of inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and Fair value. In estimating the net realisable value / Fair value of Inventories the Company makes an estimate of future selling prices and costs necessary to make the sale.
Provision for employee benefits
The Company uses actuarial assumptions to determine the obligations for employee benefits at each reporting period. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, rate of increase in compensation levels and mortality rates.
Fair value measurements and valuation processes
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for the financial reporting purposes. The valuation committee which is headed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company determines the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

29. Segment Reporting
The Company’s operations predominantly relate to providing Integrated Solutions, Technical Division, Projects Division and Software Development Services to customers globally operating. Accordingly, the primary basis of segmental information set out in these financial statements, and secondary segmental reporting is performed on the basis of the geographical location.
Income & Direct expenses in relation to segments are categorized based on items that are individually identifiable to that segment, while the remainder of the costs are allocated on the bases of available information. Certain expenses, which form a significant component of total expenses, are not specifically allocable to specific segments. The Company believes that it is not practicable to provide segmental disclosures relating to those costs and expenses, and accordingly these expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocable” and directly charged against total income.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The company’s exposure to market risk is primarily on account of foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest rate risk
The company’s total borrowings represent short term borrowings (WCDL) and the interest rate primarily basing on the company’s credit rating and also the changes in the financial market. Company continuously monitoring over all factors influence rating and also factors which influential the determination of the interest rates by the banks to minimize the interest rate risks.

Credit risk management
Credit Risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial asset fails to perform or pay the amount due causing financial loss to the company. The maximum exposure of the financial assets represents trade receivables and work in progress.
The company has a prudent and conservative process for managing its credit risk in the course of its business activities. The risk on trade receivables, work in progress is limited as the customers of the company mainly consist of Government promoted entities having strong credit worthiness. For doubtful receivables the company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowances for trade receivables. The provision Matrix takes into account ageing of accounts receivables and the company’s historical experience of the customers and financial conditions of the customers.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk arises from the company’s inability to meet its cash flow commitments on time. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Assessment of maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities including debt financing plans and maintenance of Balance Sheet liquidity ratios are considered while reviewing the liquidity position.
