1. During the year, the management has completed the process of valuation of its inventories to be in line with the requirements of Ind AS 2 - Valuation of Inventories. The exercise has been carried out by adopting purchase price data available with the company to arrive at the Weighted Average Price as also valuing the refurbished stocks adopting certain prudent estimates. The value of such inventory computed on weighted average basis is with respect to maintenance division of the Company. Further, based on data with respect to the

pattern of usage of inventories available with the company, the management has developed various estimates to determine the net realizable value of these inventories. The revised weighted average prices, estimates and assumptions were developed in the current year and that similar relevant data is not available for making reliable estimates for the earlier years for comparison purposes. The management believes that it is impracticable to recreate the information required to facilitate a retrospective restatement. Accordingly, the impact relating to this exercise, as at 31 March 2018, amounting to ' 1,566 is disclosed as exceptional items.

2. The Company has invested ' 790 in a subsidiary named Accel IT Resources Limited (AITRL). Further, the Company has advanced loan (including interest) amounting to ' 622.

4. Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement hierarchy

The Company records certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines fair values based on the price it would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.

The Company holds certain financial assets which must be measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies. The guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are grouped into three Levels of fair value hierarchy. These levels are based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

- Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table shows the Levels within the hierarchy of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 March 2018, 31 March 2017 and 01 April 2016 :

The fair values of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined under amortized cost method using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. These rates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fair value.

Loans, cash and bank balances, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables and other financial liabilities have fair values that approximate to their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.

5. Financial risk management

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations and to provide guarantees to support its and group companies operations. The Company's principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables, investments, cash and deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management assesses the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives. The Board of Directors review and agree on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.

a) Market risk

The company is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which results from both its operation and investing activities.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are managed by borrowing at fixed interest rates. During the year Company did not have any floating rate borrowings expect for the borrowings from the Holding Company which is charged at LIBOR 4%.

c) Interest rate sensitivity

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of /- 1% for the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: /- 1%, 1 April 2016: /- 1%). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.

Currency risk (or foreign exchange risk) arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency, i.e. in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. For the purpose of this disclosure, currency risk does not arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items or from financial instruments denominated in the functional currency. The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in regards to the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities and the USD/INR exchange rate, AED/INR exchange rate and GBP/INR exchange rate , 'all other things being equal'. It assumes a /- 1% change of the USD/INR exchange rate for the year ended at 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%), /- 1% change of the AED/INR exchange rate for the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%) and a /- 1% change is considered for the GBP/ INR exchange rate for the year ended at 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%).

If the INR had strengthened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%), AED by 1% during the year edned 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%) and GBP by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%) respectively then this would have had the following impact profit before tax and equity before tax:

If the INR had weakened against the USD by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%) and EUR by 1% during the year ended 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: 1%) respectively then there would an equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amount shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example trade receivables, placing deposits, investment etc. the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at reporting period, as summarized below:

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Company's policy is to transact only with counterparties who are highly creditworthy which are assessed based on internal due diligence parameters.

In respect of trade receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents and fixed deposits are considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings.

Other financial assets mainly comprises of rental deposits and security deposits which are given to landlords or other governmental agencies in relation to contracts executed and are assessed by the Company for credit risk on a continuous basis.

f) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analyzing these cash flows is consistent with that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis depending on the business needs. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.

The Company's objective is to maintain cash and bank's short term credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. Cash flows from trade receivables are all contractually due within twelve months except for retention and long term trade receivables which are governed by the relevant contract conditions.

The Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of short-term borrowings. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to refinancing its debt and concluded it to be low. The Company has access to a sufficient variety of sources of funding and debt maturing within 12 months can be rolled over with existing lenders.

39. First-time adoption of Ind AS

These are the Company's first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For periods up to and including the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006, notified under section 133 of the Act and other relevant provisions of the Act (Previous GAAP). Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for periods ending on or after 31 March 2018, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its statement of financial position as at 01 April 2016 and its previously published financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2017 under previous GAAP

a) First time adoption exemptions applied

Upon transition, Ind AS 101 permits certain exemptions from full retrospective application of Ind AS. The Company has applied the mandatory exceptions and certain optional exemptions, as set out below:

Mandatory exceptions adopted by the Company

(i) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities

The de-recognition criteria of Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments has been applied prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS. Non-derivative financial assets and non-derivative financial liabilities derecognized before date of transition under previous GAAP are not recognized on the opening Ind AS balance sheet.

(ii) Estimates

Hindsight is not used to create or revise estimates. The estimates made by the Company under previous GAAP were not revised for the application of Ind AS except where necessary to reflect any differences in accounting policies or errors.

(iii) Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess the classification and measurement of financial assets (investment in debt instruments) on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to Ind AS. The Company has elected to apply this exemption to its financial assets.

Optional exemptions availed by the Company

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment

Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its property, plant and equipment as recognized in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition. The Company has elected to use carrying value under previous GAAP as the deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS for all property, plant and equipment (including intangible assets). The Company has elected to regard those values of property as deemed cost at the date of the transition since they were broadly comparable to fair value.

(ii) Business combination

Ind AS 101 provides the option to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date.

The company elected to apply Ind AS 103 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.

(iii) Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries are measured at the carrying value under previous GAAP on the date of transition to Ind AS. These carrying value under previous GAAP are considered to be the deemed cost as at the date of transition.

a) Defined benefit obligation

Both under previous GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognized costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under previous GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to statement of profit and loss. Under Ind-AS, remeasurements [comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability] are recognized immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to other equity through other comprehensive income.

b) Other comprehensive income

Under Ind AS, all items of income and expense recognized in a period should be included in profit or loss for the period, unless a standard requires or permits otherwise. Items of income and expense that are not recognized in profit or loss but are shown in the statement of profit and loss as 'other comprehensive income' includes remeasurements of defined benefit plans. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP

c) Excise Duty

Under the previous GAAP, revenue from sale of products was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS, revenue from sale of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. The excise duty paid is presented on the face of the statement of profit and loss as part of expense. This change has resulted in an increase of total revenue and total expense for the year ended 31 March 2017 by Rs, 43. There is no impact on the total equity and profit.

d) Financial assets

Under Ind AS, financial assets other than receivables having a fixed maturity period are to be measured at fair value less transaction costs under Ind AS 109. The Net present value of cash flows which are receivable as a contractual right is considered to be the "fair value" of the financial instrument. The rate used for discounting the rental deposits is the risk free government bond rate as on reporting date. The difference between the restated value and the carrying amount has been adjusted to the opening reserves. As per Ind AS 113, paragraphs B13-30 specify discount rate adjustment techniques which have been used for fair valuing the deposits having fixed maturity period. Under the previous GAAP, these financial assets were valued as the sum of cash flows receivable during their period of life.

e) Financial liabilities

Franchisee deposits are discounted using the risk free government bond rates and the difference between the restated value and the carrying value is adjusted to the opening reserves. As per Ind AS 113, paragraphs B13-30 specify discount rate adjustment techniques which have been used for fair valuing the franchisee deposits having fixed maturity period. Under the previous GAAP, these financial liabilities were valued as the sum of cash flows payable during their period of life.

40 Fair value

42 Segment reporting

The Company publishes standalone financial statements along with the consolidated financial statements in the annual report. In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating segments, the Company has disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statements.

6. Commitments

The Company did not have any capital commitments as at the balance sheet data (Previous year: Nil). Other commitments are cancellable at the option of the company and hence not disclosed.
