2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) and Defined benefit plans - plan assets, which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The Ind AS are prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendments rules issued thereafter.
All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule III to the Act. For the business of manufacturing, based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle up to twelve months for the purpose of current - non-current classification of assets and liabilities. Operating cycle for the other business activities of the Company covers the duration of the specific project or contract or service and extends up to the realisation of receivables within the agreed credit period normally applicable to such lines of business.
Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is
initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to the presentation adopted in the financial statements. These reclassifications were not significant and have no impact on the total assets, total liabilities, total equity and profit of the Company.
2.2 Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees which is also the Company’s functional currency.
2.3 Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense for the periods reported
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates considering different assumptions and conditions
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
i) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment ('PPE') and other intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment/Intangible assets are depreciated/amortised over their estimated useful life, after taking into account estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated
useful life and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation/ amortisation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful life and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes, expected level of usage and product life-cycle. The depreciation/amortisation for future periods is revised if there are significant changes from previous estimates.
ii) Employee benefit obligations
Employee benefit obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments. These include the estimation of the appropriate discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long¬ term nature, the employee benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
iii) Provisions and contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of each being subject to uncertainties inherent in litigation. A provision for litigation is made when it is considered probable that a payment will be made and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgement is required when evaluating the provision including, the probability of an unfavourable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss. Litigation provisions are reviewed at each accounting period and revisions made for the changes in facts and circumstances. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes forming part of the financial statements. Contingent assets are not disclosed in the financial statements unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
iv) Recognition of property, plant and equipment (PPE), capital work in progress
Significant level of judgement is involved in assessing whether the expenditure incurred meets the recognition criteria under Ind AS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Also estimates are involved in determining the cost attributable to bringing the
assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.
2.3 Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (continued)
v) Capitalisation of other intangible assets and evaluation of indicators for impairment of assets
Distinguishing the research and development phases of a new customised project and determining whether the recognition requirements for the capitalisation of development costs are met requires judgement. After capitalisation, management monitors whether the recognition requirements continue to be met and whether there are any indicators that capitalised costs may be impaired.
The evaluation of applicability of indicators of impairment of assets requires assessment of several external and internal factors which could result in deterioration of recoverable amount of the assets. In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash generating units based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
2.4 Revenue from contracts with customers
To determine whether to recognise revenue from contracts with customers, the Company follows a 5-step process:
a) Identifying the contract with customer
b) Identifying the performance obligations
c) Determining the transaction price
d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
e) Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Revenue from contracts with customers for products sold and service provided is recognised when control of promised products or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the
Company expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes Goods and Services Taxes and is net of rebates and discounts. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term , which is consistent with market practice. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
For performance obligation satisfied over time, the revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation. The progress is measured in terms of a proportion of actual cost incurred to- date, to the total estimated cost attributable to the performance obligation except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. The Company transfers control of a good or service over time and therefore satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over a period of time if one of the following criteria is met:
i) the customer simultaneously consumes the benefit of Company’s performance or
ii) the customer controls the asset as it is being created/enhanced by the Company’s performance or
iii) t here is no alternative use of the asset and the Company has either explicit or implicit right of payment considering legal precedents.
In all other cases, performance obligation is considered as satisfied at a point in time
Significant judgements are used in determining the revenue to be recognised in case of performance obligation satisfied over a period of time, revenue recognition is done by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation.
These activity-specific revenue recognition criteria are based on the goods or services provided to the customer and the contract conditions in each case, and are as described below.
a) Sale of manufactured goods
Revenue from sale of manufactured goods is recognised at a point of time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, being when the products are delivered and acknowledged by customers and the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or there is
no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Revenue from the sale is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of rebates and discounts.
b) Sale of Services
The company recognizes revenue when performance obligation as promised is satisfied with a transaction price and where there is no uncertainty as to the measurement or collectability of the consideration. Revenue from sale of services is recognized over a period of time for maintenance revenue when the related obligations are fulfilled and revenue from other services are recognised at a point in time.
2.5 Recognition of Dividend Income, Interest income or expense
Dividend income is recognised when the unconditional right to receive the income is established. Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest method
The 'effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
- the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
- the amortised cost of the financial liability.
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit- i mpaired) or to the amortised cost of the l iabi li ty. However, for financial assets that have become credit- impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.
2.6 Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
i) Plant and equipment
Plant and other equipment (comprising plant and machinery, furniture and fittings, electrical equipment, office equipment, computers and vehicles) are initially recognised at acquisition cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management. Plant
and other equipment are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Parts of an item of PPE having different useful lives and significant value and subsequent expenditure on Property, Plant and Equipment arising on account of capital improvement or other factors are accounted for as separate components only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss within other income or other expenses.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes non-refundable taxes, duties, freight, professional fees, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy based on Ind AS 23 - Borrowing costs and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the respective assets. Property, plant and equipment which are retired from active use and are held for disposal are stated at the lower of their net book value or net realizable value.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under 'Capital work-in-progress’. Subsequent expenditures relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably
ii) a) Other intangible assets (Internally developed)
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated.
b) Intangible assets under development
"Leveraging the Company’s existing competencies, the Company undertakes internal product development initiatives aimed at expanding its business opportunities and Total Addressable Market (TAM). Such initiatives are evaluated for recognition as intangible assets under development only when they meet the recognition criteria prescribed under Ind AS 38. Capitalisation is not automatic and is based on the assessment of the criteria outlined below.
The Company distinguishes between the research phase and the development phase of internal projects. Expenditure incurred during the research phase is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred."
Development expenditure is capitalised as "Intangible Assets Under Development" only when it is demonstrably established that the asset is technically feasible to complete, the Company has the intention and ability to complete and use or sell the asset, adequate technical, financial, and other resources are available to complete the development, future economic benefits are probable including through internal use or commercialisation, and the expenditure attributable to the asset can be reliably measured.
Intangible Assets Under Development include directly attributable costs such as material costs, employee costs directly engaged in development, and other expenditures directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. General administrative costs, overheads, and inefficiencies are expensed as incurred.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the development of qualifying intangible assets are capitalised in accordance with Ind AS 23, where applicable.
When the development is completed and the prototype is ready for its intended use, the same will be transferred to Intangible Assets and will be subjected to amortization.
c) Measurement, Impairment and Derecognition
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if all recognition criteria specified above are met; otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Intangible Assets Under Development are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and are tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised.
d) Review of Estimates
The residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization of intangible assets are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
iii) Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straight line method and in the manner prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, over its useful life specified in the Act, or based on the useful life of the assets as estimated by Management based on technical evaluation and advice. The residual value is generally assessed as 5% of the acquisition cost which is considered to be the amount recoverable at the end of the
asset’s useful life. The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment is reviewed at each financial year end.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life.
Prototype assets developed will be amortized over a period of 10 years from the date of capitalization or over the delivery period of the contract, if any, whichever is earlier.
The Company has evaluated the applicability of component accounting as prescribed under Ind AS 16 and Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, the management has not identified any significant component having different useful lives. Schedule II requires the Company to identify and depreciate significant components with different useful lives separately. The useful lives of the assets are in line with the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 and hence doesn’t require Component Accounting.
The estimated useful life of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is as under,
- Building (30 years)
- Plant and Machinery (15 years)
- Computer (3-6 years)
- Furniture and Fixtures (10 years)
- Vehicles (8 years)
- Software (6 years)
iv) Impairment testing of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, based on internal or external factors. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit.
For the purpose of impairment assessment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash¬ generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganizations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and asset-specific risk factors.
Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, not subject to amortisation and Intangible assets under development are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, 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 risks specific to the assets for assessing the value in use. Significant judgement are involved in determining the recoverable value including the discount rate and the subjective nature of the business projection assumptions (in the Defence industry in which the Company operates) made over a long period.
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
2.7 Non-Current assets held for sale
The company classifies an item of PPE as a non current asset held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non current assets held for sale are measured at their carrying value / fair value less cost to be incurred for its disposal. An item of non current asset held for sale is not subject to any depreciation during the period it is held for sale.
2.8 Leases
Company as a lessee
The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under Ind AS 116.
The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognizes a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short term leases) and low-value assets. For these short term and low value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease, plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any
The right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right- of-use asset. The estimated useful life of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment.
The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether an RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of non-financial assets below.
For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment.
After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made.
The Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in statement of profit and loss.
Lease liability payments are classified as cash used in financing activities in the statement of cash flows.
2.9 Inventories
i) Raw materials
Raw materials are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. However, materials and other items held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. Cost is determined on a specific identification method
ii) Work in progress and finished goods
Work in progress and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes the combined cost of material, labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined on a specific identification method.
The cost comprises of costs of purchase, duties and taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable), conversion cost and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less estimated cost of completion and applicable selling expenses.
2.10 Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits
a) Defined contribution plan
Contribution to Provident Fund in India are in the nature of defined contribution plan and are made to a recognised fund. Contribution to Superannuation Fund is in the nature of defined contribution plan and is remitted to insurance company in accordance with the scheme framed by the Corporation. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay contributions in addition to its fixed contributions, which are recognised as an expense in the period that related employee services are received.
I) Provident fund
The Company makes contribution to the statutory provident fund in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, which is a defined contribution plan, and contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which it falls due.
ii) Other funds
The Company’s contribution towards defined contribution plan is accrued in compliance with the requirement of the domestic laws of the country. Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.
b) Defined benefit Plan
Under the Company’s defined benefit plans, the amount of benefit that an employee will receive on retirement is defined by reference to the employee’s length of service and final salary.
The defined benefit plans are as below:
I) Gratuity
The liability recognised in the statement of financial position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets. The Company estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries. This is based on standard rates of inflation, salary growth rate
and mortality. Discount factors are determined close to each year-end by reference to government securities that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related gratuity liability.
Service cost on the Company’s defined benefit plan is included in employee benefits expense. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from measurements of the net defined benefit liability are included in other comprehensive income.
ii) Leave salary - compensated absences
The Company also extends defined benefit plans in the form of compensated absences to employees. Provision for compensated absences is made on actuarial valuation basis. Entitlement to privilege leave is recognised when it accrues to the employees. Privilege leave can be accumulated subject to restriction as mentioned in the leave policy.
2.H Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.
2.12 Earnings per equity share
Basic earnings per equity share is calculated by dividing the total profit for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events including a bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). In this scenario, the number of equity shares outstanding increases without an increase in resources due to which the number of equity shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of equity shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.13 Income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.
i) Current income tax
Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the period. While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to be considered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending the nature and circumstances of each uncertain tax position.
The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously.
ii) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of
taxable temporary differences that is expected to reverse within the tax holiday period.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
