a. Background of the Company
Indo Tech Transformers Limited (Indo Tech / the Company) is engaged
in the business of manufacturing power and distribution transformers
and various special application transformers and mobile sub-station
transformers. The Company has four manufacturing plants located at
Pallakad in Kerala and Chennai and Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu.
i) Amalgamation of Indo Tech Electric Company Limited (ITECL /
Transferor) with the Company
Pursuant to a scheme of amalgamation approved by the Honble High Court
of Madras on September 30, 2005, ITECL was amalgamated with the Company
with effect from April 1, 2003. The amalgamation was accounted under
the purchase method in the earlier year. During the year, the
management has noted that the sanctioned scheme qualified to be given
effect as amalgamation in the nature of merger and accordingly, such
amalgamation should have been accounted in accordance with the pooling
of interest method prescribed by AS - 14. Necessary accounting effect
has now been given in the financial statements for the current year
under the pooling of interest method instead of purchase method.
Consequently, general reserve has been increased by Rs. 10,737,933
with a corresponding effect to Capital Reserve and profit and loss
account for Rs. 9,219,605 and Rs. 1,518,328 respectively.
ii) State Subsidy
During the financial year 1998-99, the Company had received a
Government Grant of Rs. 1,500,000 as investment subsidy towards setting
up a Power Transformer plant at its Thirumazhisai factory in SIDCO
Industrial Estate, Chennai. The Company had adopted the capital
approach prescribed under Accounting Standard- 12 (AS - 12) Accounting
for Government Grants and had accounted the grant as State Subsidy
under Reserves and Surplus.
Management noted that as the grant was received towards plant and
machinery, the grant should have been treated as deferred income to be
recognized in the profit and loss account on a systematic and rational
basis over the useful life of the asset as prescribed by income
approach in AS - 12. Since the estimated useful life had expired in an
earlier period the subsidy amount has been transferred to Profit and
Loss account as a prior period item.
iii) Land and Building
a) The Company is in the process of registering land measuring 0.132
acres and DP-36 land at SIDCO Industrial Estate, Thirumazhisai,
Chennai.

an earlier year, by JDCFT, Chennai towards non- compliance of certain
export obligation. The Company has made a provision of Rs. 7,500,000
towards this demand. Any liability in excess of the provision will be
met by the ex-promoters to the benefit of the Company.
Note b: Income Tax - During the year, the Company has received
income-tax assessment orders raising demand of Rs. 3,669,549 and Rs.
5,129,608 for AY 2005-06 and AY 2008-09 respectively. Any liability in
respect of these orders will be met by the ex-promoters to the benefit
of the Company.
iv) Based on the information received and available, the management
believes that there are no enterprises which have provided goods and
services to the Company and which qualify under the definition of micro
and small enterprises, as defined under Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises Development Act, 2006. Accordingly, the disclosure in
respect of the amounts payable, if any to such enterprises as at March
31, 2011 has been made in the financial statements based on information
received and available with the Company, to the extent identified by
the management and rel ied upon by the auditors.
v) Segment Reporting
The Company is engaged into only one business namely manufacture of
transformers and the operations primarily cater to the needs of the
domestic market. Accordingly there are no separate reportable segments
according to AS 17 Segment Reporting issued under the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.
vi) Transfer Pricing
The Company has international transactions with related parties. For
the financial year 2009-10, the company has obtained the Accountants
Report from a Chartered Accountant as required by the relevant
provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and has filed the same with the
tax authorities. For the financial year 2010 -11, management confirms
that it maintains documents as prescribed by the Income- tax Act, 1961
to prove that these international transactions are at arms length
considering the economic scenario, prevailing market conditions etc and
the aforesaid legislation will not have any impact on the financial
statements, particularly on the amount of tax expense and that of
provision for taxation.
xxvi) Previous year figures have been regrouped wherever necessary to
conform to current year classification. Previous years financial
statements were audited by a firm other than B S R and Co.
