z. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking in to account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.
aa. Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The company operates in only one segment - Engineering and Manufacturing in Aerospace and Defense.
b) i) Rights and preferences attached to equity shares:
The company has one class of equity shares having a par value of Rs.2 per share each share holder is eligible for one vote per share held. In the event of liquidation, the equity share holders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the company after distribution of all preferential amounts, in proportion to their shareholding. The dividend proposed by the board of directors is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing AGM except in case of interim dividend.
c) Reconciliation of equity shares at the beginning and end of the reporting period
The Company operates defined contribution scheme for payment of pension for certain eligible employees. Under the scheme, contributions are made by the Company, based on current salaries, to the recognized Superannuation Fund maintained by the Company. The Company is also contributing to the Government’s administered Provident Funds in respect of all the qualifying employees.
An amount of 181.81 Lakhs has been charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss on account of defined contribution schemes.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company also operates defined benefit scheme in respect of gratuity benefit towards its employees. This scheme offers specified benefits to the employees on retirement, death, disability or cessation of employment. The liability arising for the Defined Benefit Scheme is determined in accordance with the advice of independent, professionally qualified actuary, using the Projected Unit Credit (PUC) actuarial method as at year end. The Company makes regular contribution for this Employee Benefit Plan to a recognized Gratuity Fund. This Fund is administered through approved Trust, which operate in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules.
Gratuity - The company has Funded it’s Gratuity liability
D. Risk Management
The above benefit plans expose the company to actuarial risks such as follows:
(i) Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase.
(ii) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.
(iii) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.
Note 32: Financial risk management objectives
The Company’s business activities expose it to certain financial risks—market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. In order to minimize these risks, the Company has implemented risk management policies and procedures that are adopted by management after due evaluation of the key risks facing the business of the company.
a) Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks interest rate and currency risk.
i. Foreign Currency Risk
The Company undertakes significant transactions denominated in foreign currency with it customers in relation to Exports by 100% EOU. This results in wide exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Such exchange rate risk primarily arises from transactions made in foreign exchange and reinstatement risks arising from recognized assets and liabilities, which are not in the Company’s functional currency (Indian Rupees). A significant portion of these transactions are in US Dollar, Euro, British Pound Sterling etc. The Company, as Risk Management Policy, hedges its exposure in foreign exchange whenever considered appropriate based on their perception about such market and reviews periodically its exposure therein to ensure that results from fluctuating currency exchange rate are appropriately managed.
ii. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objectives of the Company’s interest rate risk management processes are to lessen the impact of adverse interest rate movements on its earnings and cash flows and to minimize counter party risks.
The Company is exposed to interest rate volatilities primarily with respect to its borrowings from Banks. Such volatilities primarily arise due to changes in the Lending rates of Banks, which in turn are linked with Repo Rates as announced by RBI from time to time as well as other economic parameters of the Country. The Company manages such risk by operating with Banks having strong fundaments with comparatively lower Lending Rates in the Market.
Interest rate sensitivity
Since the significant amount of borrowings of the Company are short term in nature, the possible volatility in the interest rate is minimal.
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty, in meeting its obligations due to shortage of liquid assets.
The Company mitigates its liquidity risks by ensuring timely collections of its trade receivables, close monitoring of its credit cycle,ensuring optimal movements of its inventories and avoid blockage of working capital in non-productive current assets. The remaining contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities payable within one year (other than borrowings from the Banks) as at 31st March, 2025 and 31st March, 2024 are as under:
c) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligations leading to a financial loss to the Company. The Company has its policy to limit its exposure to credit risk arising from outstanding receivables. Management regularly assesses the credit quality of its customer’s based on which, the terms of payment are decided. Credit limits are set for each customer, which are reviewed at periodic intervals. The credit risk of the Company is low The exports are made mostly to worldwide reputed Corporates and otherwise backed by letter of credit or on advance basis.
Fair value of the financial instruments is classified in various fair value hierarchies based on the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The management consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets (other than those measured at fair values) and liabilities recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair value as on the reporting date.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
