8. Provisions, contingentliabilities and contingent assets
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructiveobligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be requiredto settle the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discountingthe expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value ofmoney and the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the presentobligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from athird party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be receivedand the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. The expense relating to a provision is presented inthe statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will only beconfirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of theCompany. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannotbe estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow ofeconomic benefits is remote. Contingent liabilities are disclosed on the basis of judgment of the management/independent experts. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the currentmanagement estimate.
No contingent asset is recognized but disclosed by way of notes to accounts only when its recognition is virtuallycertain.
9. Foreign currency transactions and translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency spot rates at the date thetransaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spotrates of exchange at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on settlement or translation of monetaryitems are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which it arises.
Non-monetary items are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchangerate at the date of the transaction.^ situations, when the non-monetary assets/ liabilities are acquired by paying/receiving foreign currency in advance then the same should be translated at a rate which exists on the datewhen such advance payment/receipt was made.
10. Revenue
a) Revenue Recognition
The company derives revenue primarily from sale of manufactured goods and related services.
Revenue is recognized on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised productsor services to customers of an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive inexchange for products or services.
The company recognizes provision for sales return, based on historical results, measured on net basis ofthe margin of the sale. Therefore, a refund liability, included in other current liabilities, are recognized for theproducts expected to be refunded.
The company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promisedgoods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, itdoes not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Revenue in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets while invoicing in excess of revenues areclassified as contract liabilities.
b) Other Income:
i) Interest Income
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial assets classifiedasfair value through other comprehensive income, interest income is recorded using the effectiveinterestrate (EIR). The EIR isthe rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over theexpected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carryingamount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates theexpected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example,prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses.Interest income isincluded in otherincome in the statement of profit orloss.
ii) Dividend
Dividend Income isrecognizedwhen the Company'srightto receive is established which generally occurswhen the shareholders approve the dividend.
iii) Miscellaneous Income
Other income is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when increase in future economicbenefits related to an increase in an asset or a decrease of a liability has arisen that can be measuredreliably.
11. Employee Benefits
11.1. Short Term Benefit
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed asthe related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under performance related pay if the Companyhas a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided bythe employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
11.2. Post-Employment benefits
Employee benefit that are payable after the completion of employment are Post-Employment Benefit(other than termination benefit). These are of two types:
11.2.1. Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution plans are those plans in which an entity pays fixed contribution into separate entitiesand will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Provident Fund and EmployeeState Insurance are Defined Contribution Plans in which company pays a fixed contribution and willhave no further obligation.
11.2.2. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.
Company pays Gratuity as per provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1972.Leave Encashment payable at theend of the employment is also a post employment defined benefit plan.The Company's net obligation inrespect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount offuture benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; thatbenefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any past service costs and the fair value of anyplan assets are deducted. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government
securities as at the reporting date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company'sobligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to bepaid.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.When the calculation results in a liability to the company, the present value of liability is recognized asprovision for employee benefit. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in OCI in the period inwhich they arise.
12. Income Tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax expense is recognized in profit or lossexcept to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in whichcase it is recognized in OCI or equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantivelyenacted and as applicable at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.Current income taxes are recognized under ‘Income tax payable' net of payments on account, or under ‘Taxreceivables' where there is a debit balance.
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxationpurposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differenceswhen they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilitiesand assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or ondifferent tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assetsand liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in OCIor equity, in which case it is recognized in OCI or equity.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be availableagainst which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting dateand are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Minimum Alternative Tax credit (MAT Credit) is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there isconvincing evidence that the company will pay normal tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed ateach Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there isno longer a convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specifiedperiod.
Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time when theliability to pay the related dividend is recognized.
13. Leases
The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land and buildings. The Company assesseswhether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contractconveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Toassess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesseswhether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of theeconomic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right todirect the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and acorresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term oftwelve months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, theCompany recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of thelease.
Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the leaseterm. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will beexercised. The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of thelease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus anyinitial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulateddepreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter ofthe lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Right of use assets are evaluated for recoverabilitywhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. Thelease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, usingthe incremental borrowing rates in the country of domicile of these leases. Lease liabilities are re-measured witha corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the Company changes its assessment of whetherit will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments havebeen classified as financing cash flows.
14. Impairment of Non-financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determinewhether there is any indication of impairment considering the provisions of Ind AS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets'. Ifany such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount (higher of its fair value less costs to disposaland its value in use) is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.Impairment losses are recognized in Statement of Profit andLoss. Impairment losses recognized in respect ofCGUs are reduced from the carrying amounts of goodwill of that CGU, if any and then the assets of the CGU.
Impairment losses recognized in previous years are assessed at each reporting date. An impairment loss isreversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairmentloss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount thatwould have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
15. Operating Segments
In accordance with Ind AS 108 - ‘Operating Segments', the operating segments used to present segmentinformation are identified on the basis of internal reports used by the Company's Management to allocate resourcesto the segments and assess their performance. The Board of Directors is collectively the Company's ‘ChiefOperating Decision Maker' or ‘CODM' within the meaning of Ind AS 108. For management purpose company isorganized into major operating activity of A.C. Pressure Pipes and Sheetsmanufactured in India.
16. Dividends
Dividends and interim dividends payable to a Company's shareholders are recognized as changes in equity inthe period in which they are approved by the shareholders' meeting and the Board of Directors respectively.
17. Material Prior Period Errors
Material prior period errors are corrected retrospectively by restating the comparative amounts for the priorperiods presented in which the error occurred. If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented,the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented, are restated.
18. Earnings Per Share
Basic Earnings per Equity Shareis computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholdersof the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to equity shareholdersof the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings perequity share and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversionof all dilutive potential equity shares.
19. Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of cash flows is prepared in accordance with the indirect method prescribed in Ind AS-7 ‘Statementof cash flows.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability orequity instrument of another entity.
20.1. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of financial assets notrecorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition orissue of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurementDebt instruments at amortized cost
A ‘debt instrument' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
(a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractualcash flows, and
(b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using theEIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisitionand fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in financialincome in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the profit or loss. Thiscategory generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt instrument at FVTOCI (Fair Value through OCI)
A ‘debt instrument' is classified as at the FVTOCI if both of the following criteria are met:
(a) The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows andselling the financial assets, and
(b) The asset's contractual cash flows represent SPPI
Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reportingdate at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the OCI. However, the Company recognizesinterest income, impairment losses & reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in the profit and loss.On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified fromthe equity to profit and loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported asinterest income using the EIR method.
Debt instrument at FVTPL (Fair value through profit or loss)
FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet thecriteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
In addition, the Company may elect to classify a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized costor FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminatesa measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch'). Debt instrumentsincluded within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the profitand loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in entities other than subsidiaries and joint ventures are measured at fair value.Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments,the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL. The Company makes suchelection on an instrument by instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and isirrevocable.
If the company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on theinstruments, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts fromOCI to P&L, even on sale of investment. However the company may transfer cumulative gain or losswithin the equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changesrecognized in the profit and loss.
Equity investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are measured at cost.
De-recognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similarfinancial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed anobligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass¬through' arrangement- and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks andrewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all therisks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies expectedcredit loss (ECL) model for measurementand recognition ofimpairmentlossonthe followingfinancial assets andcreditriskexposure:
• Financial assets that are debt instruments, and aremeasured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debtsecurities,deposits, trade receivables and bank balance
• Trade receivablesor any contractualrighttoreceive cashor another financial asset that result fromtransactionsthat are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18
The Company follows ‘simplified approach' forrecognition ofimpairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract assets resulting fromtransactions within the scope of Ind AS 11 andInd AS 18, ifthey do not contain a significant financing component
• Trade receivables or contract assets resulting fromtransactions within the scope of Ind AS 11 andInd AS 18that contain a significant financing component, if theCompany applies practical expedientto ignoreseparation of time value of money, and
The application of simplified approach does not require theCompany to track changes in credit risk.Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at eachreporting date, rightfrom its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determinesthat whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit riskhas not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if creditrisk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of theinstrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition,then the entity reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
20.2. Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognized at fair value and in case of loans, net of directly attributable cost.Fees of recurring nature are directly recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance cost.Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost iscalculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any material transactionthat are an integral part of the EIR. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from thebalance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of theseinstruments.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled orexpires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantiallydifferent terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange ormodification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
The Company uses forwards to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates, exchange rates andcommodity prices. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the dateon which a derivative contract is entered into and are also subsequently measured at fair value on thereporting date. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financialliabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value ofderivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit and Loss.
Hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
a) Cash flow hedge
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changesin the fair value of the derivative is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve being part of othercomprehensive income. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative isrecognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. If the hedging instrument expires or issold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized incash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedgingreserve until the underlying transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognizedin the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss upon the occurrenceof the underlying transaction.
b) Fair Value Hedge
Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and hedged items that are designated and qualifyas fair value hedges are recorded in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
