Significant Judgement:

Deferred Debts:

Deferred debts are receivables from the Indian Army and Armoured Vehicles Nigam Limited (erstwhile Ordnance factory). The receivable is denominated in Indian Rupees (INR) and receivable in equal instalments over 45 years commencing from 01.04.1992. As per the agreement, the receivable is adjusted on the basis of rates of Special Drawing Rights (SDR), issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As such the receivable does not satisfy the Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) criteria as set out in Ind AS 109. Hence, the receivable is measured at fair value through profit and loss. Deferred debt is discounted at 8% to arrive at the fair value on initial recognition and the difference between the fair value and the total deferred debt is considered as deferred expense. Subsequently this is carried at fair value through profit and loss.

(i) In the case of a supplier, the company initiated legal action for recovery of advance amount of 7 17.14 Lakh together with interest etc., as the Contract was not executed. Though District Court issued a decree for an amount of 7 48.10 lakh together with interest etc., in favour of the company, the decretal amount has not been recognised as claims receivable/ income since the supplier was granted stay of operation of the decree by Hon’ble High Court and the matter is sub-judice as on date.

(ii) In the case of another supplier, the Company has initiated legal action for recovery of advance amount of 7 4.33 Lakhs with interest, being amount paid towards material purchases, which were subsequently rejected and taken back by the supplier but failed to supply the correct material. The case was decreed in favour of M/S BDL(ex-parte) and has to be executed.

Equity shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends, and to share in the proceeds of winding up the company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held.

The Board of directors of the company at its meeting held on 21st March 2024, recommended the sub-division / split of one fully paid up equity share having a face value of ^ 10 each into 2 fully paid up equity shares having a face value of ^ 5 each by alteration of capital clause of the memorandum of association (MOA) subject to the approval of the members of the company. The members of the company approved the sub-division / split of one full paid up equity share of ^ 10 each into two fully paid up equity share of ^ 5 each through a postal ballot with a requisite majority and the voting results were declared on 29 April, 2024.

Further the record date for split / sub-division of equity shares is 24th May 2024. Consequent to this, the authorized share capital comprises of 40,00,00,000 equity shares having a face value of ^ 5 each aggregating to ^ 20,000.00 Lakhs and the paid up share capital comprises of 36,65,62,500 equity shares having a face value of ^ 5 each aggregating to ^ 18,328.12 lakhs.

Significantjudgements:

1) Deferred credit: Deferred credit represents the principal credit portion (at the base rate) of the 45 years (commencing from 01.04.1992) deferred credit provided by the Russian government. The deferred credit is a financial liability, therefore shall be recognised at fair value. The fair value is ascertained by discounting the future cash outflows at the rate of 8%. The company considers 8% to be the cost of capital.

2) Embedded derivative: The increase in liability due to movement in SDR rates is assessed to be an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative is accounted at the fair value on each reporting date through Profit and loss. The fair value is considered to be the adjusted rupee value of the SDR unit as on the reporting date according to the agreement.

Warranties:

Warranty estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and also management estimates regarding possible future outflow on servicing the customers for any corrective action in respect of product failure which is generally expected to be settled within a period of 1 to 2 years from the date of supply. Onerous contract:

Provision for onerous contract represents the loss assessed by the company on its executory sale contracts. Such loss will be provided as and when the assessment is made, by the company during the course of execution / at the inception of such contracts. The provision is reviewed periodically.

Future charges:

Provision for future charges represents the estimated liability on account of revised ancillary/ packing material accepted to be delivered in lieu of ancillary/ packing material originally stipulated in the contract terms for the sales effected earlier and value of spares sent to forward location on user request for serviceability to avoid breakdown in emergency situations.

Note 38: General Notes:

Statement of Compliances:

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) [as notified under the section 133 of Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) read with Rule 3 of Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.

38(1) Recent accounting pronouncements:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended 31 March, 2024, MCA has not notified any new standards or amendments to the existing standards applicable to the Company.

MCA has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023 dated 31 March 2023 to amend Ind AS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements), Ind AS 8 (Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors) and Ind AS 12 (Income Taxes) which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2023. These Changes are incorporated in the Financial Statements but does not have any impact on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Financial Statements.

38(3) Employment Benefit obligations (i) Post-employment obligations- Gratuity

The company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/termination is the employees last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 day’s salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contributions to a separate trust. The company does not fully fund the liability and maintains a target level of funding to be maintained over a period of time based on estimations of expected gratuity payments.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumptionwhile holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions, the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit methodattheendofthereportingperiod)hasbeenappliedasandwhencalculatingthedefinedbenefitliabilityrecognisedinthebalancesheet. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

The Gratuity Trust has purchased insurance policy to provide for payment of gratuity to the employees. Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Company. Any deficit in the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Company. The company considers that the contribution rate set at the last valuation date is sufficient to eliminate the deficit over the agreed period and that regular contributions, which are based on service costs will not increase significantly.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below: 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.

III LdM i;

Salary Inflation risk : Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

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.

(ii) Provident Fund

Provident Fund Trust of the Company has to declare interest on Provident Fund at a rate not less than that declared by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. In case the Trust is not able to meet the interest liability, Company has to make good the shortfall. This is a defined benefit plan and the Company has got the same acturially valued.

Company has provided an amount of Nil (Nil during 2022-23) towards interest shortfall of the provident fund trust for the current year which has been recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

In view of the uncertainties regarding recoverability of certain instruments made by the PF Trust, during the year 2023-24 an amount of ^ 81.63 lakhs (^ 163.03 lakhs during 2022-23) has been reversed due to realisation of higher amounts than the provision made earlier.

38(4) Construction contracts:

Following disclosures are made relating to Revenue Recognition of Construction Contracts.

Methods of recognising contract revenue:

Percentage of completion method is used to determine the contract revenue recognised in the period.

Method used to determine stage of completion of contract:

Proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to the estimated total cost of contracts is used to determine the stage of completion.

38(7) Details of short closed projects:

Out of the advances of 7 36234.42 Lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 36234.42 Lakh) received from the customers, in respect of five contracts/ indents and one LOI which are short closed, the Company has made payments to suppliers for procurement of Special Tools and Equipment and Inventory. Against these payments, Special Tools and Equipment (Note 1) include an amount of 7 114.05 Lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 114.05 Lakh), Current Assets (Note 10-16) comprises an amount of 7 11041.65 Lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 11041.65Lakh) in Advances to vendors and 7 8338.85 Lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 8350.75 Lakh) in Inventories, total amounting to 7 19489.55 Lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 19506.45 Lakh). As these assets had been acquired/expenditure had been incurred by the company based on firm orders/ LOI and out of the funds provided by the customer, no loss devolves on the company on account of long outstanding advances and non-moving Special Tools and Inventory. Hence, no provision is considered necessary. Further, in respect of these short closed Indents/contracts/LOI, the company approached the customers for compensation of 7 1593.88 lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 1908.11 lakh) being the net amount of expenditure after adjustment of the available advance. Hence, for want of finalisation of the amount from the Government/ Customers, no claim/ impact on profit has been accounted in the books.

Events occurring after the reporting period:

Refer above note for the final dividend recommended by the directors which is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting.

38(10) Confirmation of Balances:

Letters requesting Confirmation of Balances have been sent in respect of Debtors, Creditors, Claims Receivable, Materials with Contractors / Sub-Contractors, Advances, Deposits and others.

38(11) Retention Sales:

The value of the retention sales (i.e., goods retained with the company at the customers’ request and at their risk) included in gross turnover during the year is 7 42,809.15 lakh (7 90,485.78 lakh during the year 2022-23). Out of which Nil (7 57,547.95 lakh during 2022-23) pertains to contracts on FOR-Destination basis where, the contract provides for retention of goods in certain circumstances mentioned therein. In respect of 7 42,809.15 lakh (7 32,937.83 lakh during 2022-23), though the contracts are on FOR-destination basis, the customer has allowed the company to recognise a sale and hold the material.

38(12) Charges registered:

Company has registered floating charge with State Bank of India and Union Bank of India to the extent of 7 61,500.00 lakh (as at March 31,2023 7 60,000.00 lakh) on current assets.

38(13) Operating Cycle:

As per the requirement of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, the operating cycle has been determined at the product level as applicable.

Fair value hierarchy:

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: Inputs other than quoted price including within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 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 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). If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case with listed instruments where market is not liquid and for unlisted instruments.

Valuation technique used to determine fair value:

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• The fair value of unquoted equity instrument are determined with respect to the net worth of the company.

• During the year 2021-22, APGPCL i.e., the company in which BDL had invested in equity, received an adverse arbitration award. The implementation of which is likely to erode the networth of APGPCL. Accordingly Fair value of the investment is considered as ‘Nil’.

• The fair value of 45 years deferred credit and receivables is determined using foreign exchange rates as per the contract.

38(16) Financial Risk Management:

The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The analysis of each risk is as follows:

A) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, instruments carried at amortised cost and deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures to customers including outstanding receivables.

(i) Credit risk management

A. Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks with high credit ratings assigned by external agencies.

B. Credit risk on claims/refunds receivables, trade receivables and unbilled revenues are evaluated as follows:

(iv) Significant estimates and judgements:

Impairment of financial assets:

The impairment provisions for financial assets disclosed above are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

B) Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Company’s treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under deposits in banks.

Management monitors cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

C) Market risk

(i) Foreign currency risk

The company operates in a business that exposes it to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, Euro, GBP, CHF and SEK. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency (INR). The risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable foreign currency cash flows. The company is eligible for exchange rate variation upon settlement of foreign exchange liabilities for most of the sales contracts. Hence, the company is protected against the foreign currency risk.

38(19) Grant for Solar Plant:

The Company has implemented two Solar Plants of 5 MW each under Jawahar Lal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) scheme. Viability Gap Fund (VGF) is accounted based on project cost as per the contracts. An amount of ^ 1545.89 Lakhs is accounted as VGF and disclosed under Deferred Revenue (Note No. 22) in the books of the Company. Deferred Revenue @4% p.a amounting ^ 61.83 Lakhs is recognized as from Solar Plant.

38(20) Disclosures under Ind AS 115: Revenue from contracts with customers A Satisfaction of performance obligation

i. In majority of the contract performance obligation is satisfied “at a point in time” which is primarily determined on customer obtaining control of the asset. Performance obligation in respect of contract involving supply , Installation and commissioning of complex system is recognised “over a period of time”

ii. Under “Bill and hold” arrangement performance obligation is satisfied on unconditional appropriation of the goods to the contract on acceptance by the customer.

iii. Company’s Contract normally do not contain significant financial component and any advance payment received and /or amount retained by customer is with intention of protecting either parties to the contract.

iv. Variable consideration primarily consist of amount receivable/reimbursable against foreign exchange variation clause and liquidated damages. The amount of revenue recognised in respect of the same is determined based on the methodology specified in the contract . The amount is recognised as revenue based on contractual terms.

v. The company’s turnover mainly includes supply of missiles and allied defence equipments.

vi. Warranties provided are primarily in the nature of performance warranty.

vii. The company normally uses the input method to recognise revenue is respect of contracts in which performance obligation are satisfied over a period of time. For arriving at the quantum of revenue to be recognised the percentage of completion method is adopted where in the percentage of actual cost incurred to total estimated cost is applied to the contract price for arriving at the quantum of revenue to be recognised. The company’s contract (other than AMC) in respect of which revenue is recognised over a period of time typically involves multiple activities of different nature like construction of building, supply and installation of equipments etc. Due to this it is not possible to quantify in physical terms the quantum of work done (i.e., output) reliably . Where as, under input method , the cost incurred in respect of these varied activities can be captured and compared to the total estimated cost to be incurred (which can be estimated reliably) , for arriving at the percentage of completion. In case of AMC contracts, output method is used to recognise revenue where passage of time is the criteria for satisfaction of performance obligation.

viii. For revenue recognition in respect of performance obligation satisfied at a “point in time” the following criteria is used for determining whether customer has obtained “Control on asset"

• Terms of delivery as per the contract

• Customer has legal title to the asset

• The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset

• Customer has accepted the asset

• Entity has the present right to payment for the asset

ix. Transaction price is typically determined based on contract entered into with customer. Allocation of transaction price in respect to multiple obligations is based on relative standalone selling price which is arrived at based on the latest contract available for similar item sold.

Advance received from customer are classified as contract liability and Progressively adjusted on completion of performance obligation .Balance amount receivable after adjusting advance is classified as Trade Receivable.

Compensation accrued to the company upon satisfaction of the performance performance obligation but is not due as payment milestones are not acheived is recognised as “Contract Asset”. Such balances are transferred to Trade receivable, when payment milestones are achieved.
