(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material
respects with the Accounting Standards notified by Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, (as amended) and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accrual basis.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company
and are consistent with those used in the previous year.
(b) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting
period. Although these estimates are based upon managements best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ
from these estimates.
(c) Inventories
Raw materials, components, stores and spares are valued at lower of
cost and net realizable 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 moving
weighted average basis.
Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net
realizable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a
proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Cost of finished goods includes excise duty. Cost is
determined on a moving weighted average basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
(d) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
(e) Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for
its intended use.
(f) Depreciation
Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method as per the
useful lives of the assets estimated by the management, or at the rates
prescribed under schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 whichever is
higher.
(g) Impairment
i. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet
date for any indication of impairment based on internal / external
factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the greater of the assets net selling price and its value in use. In
assessing value in use, the 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 asset.
ii. After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying
amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.
iii. A previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reversed
depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying value
after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would
have prevailed by charging usual depreciation if there was no
impairment.
iv. During the year there was no provision for impairment.
(h) Intangible assets
i. Costs incurred towards purchase of computer software are depreciated
using the straight-line method over a period based on managements
estimate of useful lives of such software, or over the license period
of the software, whichever is shorter. Other fixed assets
(Intangibles) are amortised over a period of two years.
ii. Research costs are expensed as incurred.
(i) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be
reliably measured.
Sale of Goods

ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. In accordance with the
terms of arrangements with the customers, in the current year, the
company has not recognised sales of Rs 1774.00 lakhs and the related
costs and margin on the materials despatched to the customer locations
as such materials have not been received by the customers as at the
balance sheet date. Excise Duty deducted from turnover (gross) is the
amount that is included in the amount of turnover (gross) and not the
entire amount of liability that arose during the year.
Income from Services
Income from services is recognised in accordance with the specific
terms of the contract with the customer.
Interest
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into
account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.
Dividends

established by the balance sheet date.
Profit on sale of investments

investments are realised.
(j) Foreign currency translation
i. Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency,
by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between
the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
ii. Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate.
Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of historical cost
denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction; and non-monetary items which are
carried at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a
foreign currency are reported using the exchange rates that existed
when the values were determined.
iii. Exchange differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on
reporting such monetary items of company at rates different from those
at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in
previous financial statements, are recognized as income or as expenses
in the year in which they arise.
(k) Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not
more than a year are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as long-term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on
an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at
cost. However, provision for diminution in value, if any, is made to
recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the
investments.
(l) Retirement and other employee benefits
i. Retirement benefits in the form of provident fund and employee state
insurance are defined contribution schemes and the contributions are
charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the
contributions to the funds are due. There are no other obligations
other than the contribution payable to the funds.
ii. Gratuity and pension liabilities are defined benefit obligations
and are provided for on the basis of an actuarial valuation on
projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year.
iii. Short term compensated absences are provided for based on
estimates. Long term compensated absences are provided for based on
actuarial valuation at the year end. The actuarial valuation is done as
per projected unit credit method
iv. Actuarial gains/losses are taken to profit and loss account and
are not deferred.
v. Payments made under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme are charged to
the Profit and Loss Account when such payments are made.
(m) Segment reporting
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacture of automotive
components and related services and accordingly this is the only
primary segment. The Company has considered geographical segment as the
secondary segment, based on the location of the customers.
(n) Leases
Where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and
benefits of ownership of the leased item the leases are classified as
operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense
in the Profit and Loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
(o) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for
the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit 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 if
any.
(p) Income taxes
Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax
is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in
accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961. Deferred income taxes
reflects the net impact of current year timing differences between
taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of
timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally
enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities relate to the taxes on income levied by same governing
taxation laws. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent
that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realised. In situations where the company has unabsorbed depreciation
or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence
that they can be realised against future taxable profits.
At each balance sheet date the company re-assesses unrecognised
deferred tax asset. The company recognises all unrecognised deferred
tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be
realised.
(q) Provisions
A provision is recognised when an enterprise has a present obligation
as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its
present value and are determined based on best estimate required to
settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates or on actuarial valuation where applicable. Provision for
warranty is estimated based on trend of past claims.
