The turnover of the company grew by 29.06% over the last financial year and the profitability before tax as percentage of turnover increased from 10.26 % for the last financial year to 10.87 % for the current year.

This increased profitability was mainly due to better utilization of capacity in the new foundry and machine shop, improved operational controls, strict control on raw material cost and also because of the depreciating Rupee.

Purchase of raw material saw upward trend in some materials including electricity while downward in some. There was an overall saving due to proper inventory management.

DIVIDEND: 

Your Board recommends a dividend of 10% on equity shares (Rs. 10 per equity share) as final dividend.

OPERATIONS:

PCL EOU Division

The productivity was increased in the foundry division due to improved operationalcontrols. Better utilization of plant capacity in the newly started Foundry No. 4 resulted in higher production of camshafts, from about 54000 castings per month in 2012-13 to 180000 castings per monthin the year 2013-14.

Foundry No. 2 is being modified and will be used for manufacturing Ductile Iron induction hardened camshafts.  The trial production of this variety of camshafts has been approved by Toyota and Ford. The serial production of camshafts using the said  technology will start in 2016.

Total sales from EOU division increased by 23 % from Rs. 305.01 Crores in 2012-13 to Rs. 394.15 Crores in the year2013-14. Export sales increased by 26% while domestic sales increased by 8 %.

Total Camshafts sold in 2012-13 were 70,88,803in numbers while that in 2013-14 were 78,31,699 in numbers.

About 13new varieties of Camshafts were developed during the year 2013-2014 for Mahindra, Ford India, Ford VEP, VM Motori, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota. These would translate into sizeable addition to the annual sales from next financial year onwards.

Machine shop at the EOU 

The production capacity at the machine shop was further increased from 125000 per month to 137500 per month by adding a machining line for GM Korea.The total number of camshafts sold during the year from EOU machine shop decreased by about 1% due to reduced demand of some products. However the sale value increased due to more value added parts under export and as an effect of piece price compensation. Sales from Machine shop increased by about 19 % from Rs. 78.75 Crores in 2012-13 to Rs. 94.24 Crores in the year 2013-14. This sale forms part of the sales from the EOU division.

PCL Unit I and Unit II at MIDC Akkalkot Road, Solapur

There was a marginal decrease in the sales in the foundry division (PCL Unit II) as compared to the last financial year. Sales to Machine shop decreased due to shifting of production of certain parts to the EOU division. Total sale from PCL unit I and II amounted to Rs. 58.71 crores in the year under consideration.

PCL unit 1 Machine shop won a Performance Award from Escorts and Ford New Holland. Quality Certifications

All units of PCL are certified with ISO / TS 16949:2002, ISO:14001:2004 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007.

NOTE 1.  CORPORATE INFORMATION              

Precision Camshafts Limited (the company) is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The company is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of camshaft castings and machined camshafts to the Auto industry and the Railways.

               

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION      

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles        in India (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these financial statements to comply in all material respects with the accounting standards notified under Companies Act, 1956 read with General Circular 08/2014 dated 4 April 2014 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical        cost convention, except in case of assets which have been impaired and derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of previous year.

NOTE 2.1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   

(a)           Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Indian GAAP requires the management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Difference between the actual result and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known / materialised. Although these estimates are based on the managements best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

               

(b)           Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets, are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalisation criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.

From 1 April 2011, the company adjusts exchange differences arising on translation/settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset to the cost of the asset and depreciates the same over the remaining life of the asset. In accordance with MCA circular dated 9 August 2012, exchange differences adjusted to the cost of fixed assets are total differences, arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items pertaining to the acquisition of a depreciable asset, for the period.  In other words, the company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.

Expenditure directly relating to construction activity is capitalised. Indirect expenditure incurred during construction period is capitalised as part of the construction costs to the extent the expenditure can be attributable to construction activity or is incidental there to. Income earned during the construction period is deducted from the total of the indirect expenditure.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

PRECISION CAMSHAFTS LIMITED      

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014                      

(c)           Depreciation on tangible fixed assets

Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided on straight line method, unless otherwise stated, pro-rata to the period of use of the assets and is based on managements estimate of useful lives of the fixed assets or at rates specified in Schedule XIV to the Act, whichever is higher.

The company has used the following rates to provide depreciation on its fixed assets

                                                                                                                                                Rates (SLM)

Building                                                                                                                                 1.63%-3.34%

Plant and Machinery                                                                                                           10.34%

Jigs, Fixture and patterns (included in Plant and Machinery)*                                     33.33%

Office Equipments                                                                                                                  4.75%

Computer (Office Equipments)                                                                                             16.21%

Furniture and Fixtures                                                                                                                 6.33%

Vehicles                                                                                                                                            9.50%

Cost of leasehold land is amortised over the period of lease.

               

Assets costing up to Rs. 5,000 per unit are depreciated at the rate of 100% in the year of addition.

               

(d)           Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Intangible asset - Computer Softwares are amortized over a period of two years from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.    

(e)           Leases

Where the company is lessee Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.   

(f)            Borrowing costs

Borrowing cost includes interest and  amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective asset.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.

PRECISION CAMSHAFTS LIMITED      

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014      

(g)           Impairment of tangible and intangible assets The company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the company estimates the assets recoverable amount.  An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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 the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the company estimates the assets or cash-generating units recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, norexceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

(h)           Investments

Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments.

On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.

 Current investments are carried in the financial statements 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 is made to recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.

               

(i)            Inventories

Raw materials, components, stores and spares and packing materials are valued at lower of cost and net realisable 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 of raw materials, components, stores and spares and packing material is determined on a weighted average basis

 Semi-finished goods and finished goods are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Cost of finished goods is determined on a weighted average basis and includes excise duty

.Net realisable 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014      

(j)            Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and that the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been  passed to the buyer. The company collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and,  therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the company. Hence, they are excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the year.

Income from services

Revenue from services is recognised as and when services are rendered.  The company collects service tax on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.

Tooling Income

Tooling income is recognized when the tool has been developed and necessary completion approvals have been received from customers.

Interest

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognised when the companys right to receive dividend is established by the reporting date.

Export Benefits

Export incentive benefits, by way of Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme (DEPB) and Focus Product Scheme (FPS) are recognized as income on the basis of receipt of proof of export

(k)           Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions and balance

(i)            Initial recognition

(iii)          Exchange differences

From April 1, 2011, the company accounts for exchange differences arising on translation/settlement of foreign currency monetary items as below:

               

1.Exchange differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items related to acquisition of a fixed asset are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.

               

2.Exchange differences arising on other long-term foreign currency monetary items are accumulated in the Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account and amortised over the remaining life of the concerned monetary item.

               

3.All other exchange differences are recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.

               

For the purpose of 1 and 2 above, the company treats a foreign currency monetary item as long-term foreign currency monetary item, if it has a term of 12 months or more at the date of its origination. In accordance with MCA circular dated 09 August 2012, exchange differences for this purpose, are total differences arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items for the period.  In other words, the company does not differentiate between exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost and other exchange difference.

(iv)          Forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing asset/liability

The premium or discount arising at the inception of forward exchange contract is amortised and recognised as an expense/ income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such contracts, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such forward exchange contract is also recognised as income or as expense for the period. Any gain/ loss arising on forward contracts which are long-term foreign currency monetary items is recognized in accordance with paragraph (iii)(1) and (iii)(2).

Translation of integral and non-integral foreign operation         

The company classifies all its foreign operations as either integral foreign operations or non-integral foreign operations.

The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been those of the company itself.

The assets and liabilities of a non-integral foreign operation are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Their statement of profit and loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions or weighted average monthly rates, where such rates approximate the exchange rate at the date of transaction. The exchange differences arising on translation are accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. On disposal of a non-integral foreign operation, the accumulated foreign currency translation reserve relating to that foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

When there is a change in the classification of a foreign operation, the translation procedures applicable to the revised classification are applied from the date of the change in the classification.

(l)            Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund and superannuation fund are defined contribution schemes. The contributions to the provident fund and superannuation fund are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the employee renders the related service. The company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund and superannuation fund.

The company operates a defined benefit plan in the form of gratuity for its employees. The cost of providing benefits under the plan is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end. Actuarial valuation is carried out using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses for the defined benefit plan are recognised in full in the period in which they occur in the statement of profit and loss.

Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilised within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term employee benefit. The company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.

The company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method as at the year-end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet, to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date.

(m)          Income Tax

Tax expense comprises 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 enacted in India. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates  and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible timing differences 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.In the situations where the company is entitled to a tax holiday, no deferred tax (asset or liability) is recognised in respect of timing differences which reverse during the tax holiday period, to the extent the companys gross total income is subject to the deduction during the tax holiday period. Deferred tax in respect of timing differences which reverse after the tax holiday period is recognised in the year in which the timing differences originate. However, the company restricts ecognition of 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. For  recognition of deferred taxes, the timing differences which originate first are considered to reverse first.

               

At each reporting date, the company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred tax asset 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.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The company writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available

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 same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax. The company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect of MAT under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The company reviews the MAT credit entitlement asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the company does not have convincing evidence that itwill pay normal tax during the specified period.       

(n)           Earning Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders  by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014      

(o)           Provisions

A provision is recognised when the company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Where the company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss, net of any reimbursement.

(p)           Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

 (q) Employee stock compensation cost

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). The company measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortised over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis.

(r)           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise of cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

(s)           Measurement of EBITDA 

As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. The company measures EBITDA on the basis of profit/ (loss) from continuing operations. In its measurement, the company does not include depreciation and amortisation expense, finance costs and tax expense.
