    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

    The Indian economy substantially slowed down during 2011-12 and the slowdown has continued further with overall growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at factor cost estimated at 5.0 percent in 2012-13, with agriculture & allied activities growing at 1.8 per cent, industry at 3.1 per cent and services at 6.6 per cent as per advance estimates released by the Central Statistics Office. The slower growth in agriculture and service sectors had considerable impact on Auto industry.

    During the year under review, there was no respite from spiraling oil prices, inflation and high interest rates which continued to severely dampen automotive business sentiments. Depreciation of rupee to the dollar contributed to fuel price rise. The industrial relation related problems at the end of the major customers of the Company also impacted sales and savings plan of the Company. High inflation, particularly the rising prices of vegetables, meat, dairy and other food items as well as increase in education expenses had considerable impact on three years wage settlement agreement, which the Company concluded with the workmen union during the year under review. This has increased indirect and direct labour cost of the Company. Electricity Distribution Company also raised prices by about 40% during the year.

    While the inflationary pressure, adverse exchange rate fluctuations, rising fuel prices and interest rates, coupled with problems at the end of major customers of the Company resulted in severe financial strain for the Company during the year, however expected improvement in economic parameters of Indian economy and automobile market scenario, will help

    the Company to come out of difficult time in coming years.

    INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

    The industry has developed in clusters which have large number of companies with their vendor base. The major automotive hubs being in Pune region (Maharastra), NCR region, Pithampur (MP), Chennai, and Uttaranchal. Gujrat is emerging as the latest major automotive hub. This includes virtually all the major global OEMs (original Equipment Manufactures) as well as home grown companies. India has surpassed France, UK and Italy to become the 6th largest vehicle manufacture globally.

    Presently the Indian Auto industry is in the midst of severe slow down and is a matter of concern for all vehicle makers and part suppliers. Though over long term, growth story is still intact, however to adjust to continuous slow down for last 15 months, the companies have resorted to planned shut downs, price discounts, extra ordinary items, laying off casual labour and have announced postponement of new investment. The industry is witnessing transition of manufacturing base from North to South and West due to various reasons. Amidst the turmoil, there have been some good short stories of success e.g. Amaze from Honda and Duster from Renault, rekindling the hope for a brighter future.

    OPERATIONS:

    During the year under report turnover of your Company increased to ` 13,583 million from ` 11,351 million in 2011-12. While finance cost came down to ` 78 million from ` 117 million, the cost of material consumed , employee benefit expenses , administrative and other expenses increased due to inflationary pressure.

    Your Company earned a profit of ` 128 million during the year against a loss of ` 722 million suffered in 2011-12. As an exceptional item, profit of ` 827 million from transfer of Small Motor Business contributed towards the profit for the year. However, during the year Company suffered a loss of ` 637 million from operations as compared to loss of ` 691 million in 2011-12.

    DIVIDEND:

    Considering the present financial condition and current market situation no dividend is recommended for the year ended March 31, 2013.

    SMALL MOTOR BUSINESS

    The Board of Directors and the shareholders (through Postal Ballot) at their meeting held on 12th November 2011 and 21st December, 2011 respectively had granted their approvals to the Company to sell all assets (tangible and intangible),

  • 5

    liabilities and transfer employees of small motor business to Denso Haryana Private Limited (DNHA), a DENSO group company, for a total consideration of ` 1477 million, which was subject to adjustments in relation to working capital in between the balance sheet of the reference date (as at 31st March, 2011) and the completion date (1st October, 2012).

    During the year, your Company sold Small Motor Business i.e Front/ Rear Wiper, Power Window Motors, Blower Motors, Electric Fan Motors and Engine Cooling Modules to DENSO Haryana Private Limited, on a going concern basis, by way of slump sale, to re-align/restructure the business to address economic constraints and to focus on areas of future growth.

    On 1st October, 2012 the Company transferred the small motor business having book value of ` 1049 million to DNHA against total consideration of ` 1876 million and recorded a profit of ` 827 million.

    FACTORY AT HARIDWAR

    Your Company had established a factory at Haridwar in year 2009, mainly to cater to the needs of M/s Hero MotoCorp Ltd. (previously Hero Honda Motors Ltd.). The Company’s factory at Haridwar is performing satisfactorily, however M/s Hero MotoCorp Ltd. lost market and had lower sales in the range of vehicle for which your Company is supplying products. This is a cause of concern for Haridwar factory of your Company where we have only one customer in our plan.

    FACTORY AT BANGALORE

    During the year, the Company has taken the premises on lease and has set up a new factory at Bangalore. This factory at Bangalore will cater to the requirements of two wheelers manufacturers in southern India and mainly Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI). The production at Bangalore factory is expected to pick up with the setting up and increase in activities of HMSI plants in South.

    OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND OUTLOOK:

    Sensitivity to fuel prices and interest rates can cause huge fluctuations in market demand of cars and two wheelers thereby posing a significant threat to the corresponding demand of the Company’s products.

    The industry is witnessing shift in customer preference from petrol driven cars to diesel driven vehicles. The uncertainty over fuel policy and raising diesel price pose a dilemma for vehicle manufacturers. Capacity allocation between petrol and diesel driven vehicles and CAPEX commitments will increasingly pose challenges before vehicle manufacturers and component industry in the coming months. The intensifying competition and unpredictability of volumes and product mix may also present major threat and challenge for your Company.

    The vehicle manufacturers expect component industry to improve scalability and develop a reliable and robust manufacturing system and deliver global levels of technology and quality products. The vehicle manufacturers require their suppliers to be able to not only localize the systems or components supplied by them but also to supply the same from a location nearer to their manufacturing facility from logistics point of view to avoid delivery problems caused due to infrastructure constraints of the Country. This poses significant challenge for the component industry in the back drop of the fact that the industry is witnessing transition of manufacturing base from North to South and West due to various reasons. While on the one hand, the component industry is grappling with the problem of excess capacity, yet on the other hand is expected to set up a manufacturing facility closure to the new location of the vehicle manufacturers thereby significantly increasing CAPEX commitments and fixed costs.

    The Company is making constant endeavors for localization of various parts and components and identifying cost effective ways of manufacturing them in-house or through vendors. Awareness and regulation on fuel efficiency will become a big trend in India in the next few years as it helps both the economy and the environment. The Company is conscious of these developments and poised to take advantage of these trends. Setting up a factory in Bangalore and decision to focus on Alternator/ Starter (in case of four wheelers) and CDI/ Magneto (in case of two-wheelers) businesses, which contribute to vehicle engine performance by optimizing fuel cost and reducing emissions, are the steps in that direction.

    SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE:

    The Company’s operating business is organized and managed according to the nature of product, with single Primary Reportable Segment comprising of manufacturing and supply of electrical automotive components.

    INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS:

    The Company has an adequate system of internal controls to ensure that transaction are properly recorded, authorized and reported apart from safeguarding Company’s assets. Well-experienced Chartered Accountant firm appointed by the Company for internal audit, reviews operations at all the establishments of the Company. All significant internal audit observations and follow up actions thereon are reported to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal audit.

    HUMAN RESOURCES:

    Your Directors wish to place on record their appreciation for the commitment and dedication shown by the employees at all the areas of operation of the Company. Various HR initiatives are taken to align the HR policies to the growing requirements

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

    We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    Notes forming part of the financial statements

    1. GENERAL INFORMATION:

    Denso India Limited (the ‘Company”) was founded in 1984 as a Joint Venture between SRF (India) and Nippon Denso (Japan). The Joint Venture was converted into a subsidiary of Nippon Denso in 1993 and became Nippon Denso India Limited (NDIL). In 1996 the name of NDIL changed to Denso India Limited. The Company is a public limited company and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, Delhi Stock Exchange and the Madras Stock Exchange (BSE: 520022 | NSE: DENSO | ISIN: INE502A01017). The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of automotive components and primarily sells to Original Equipment Manufacturers in India and abroad. The Company has two manufacturing plants at Noida and Haridwar. The Company is also in process of setting up a new manufacturing plant at Bengaluru. The Company also has three warehousing locations at Delhi, Chennai and Noida.

    2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    I. Basis of preparation of financial statements:

    The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention.

    All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956. Based on the nature of products and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current – non current classification of assets and liabilities.

    II. Use of estimates:

    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.

    III. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation:

    Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes taxes, duties, freight, insurance, labour cost and directly attributable cost to the construction / acquisition of the assets, net of excise duty and other taxes subsequently recoverable by the Company. Fixed assets are depreciated over the expected remaining useful life of such assets as estimated by the Management. Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

    Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately in the Balance Sheet.

    For assets aquired, sold or otherwise disposed off during the year depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis from/to the date of addition, sales or disposal.

    Depreciation is provided on a straight line method at the following rates based on the Management’s estimates of the useful lives of the fixed assets, which are higher than / equal to the rates as per the Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956:

    Land

    - Free hold No depreciation is recognised- Lease hold Over the primary lease periodBuildings 20 yearsPlant and Machinery - Jigs and Tools 5 years- Others 7 yearsComputers 3 yearsFurniture and Fixtures 5 yearsVehicles 5 years

    Assets costing less than ` 5,000 are fully charged off as expenses in the year of purchase.

  • 25

    Capital work-in-progress:

    Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost and related incidental expenses.

    IV. Intangible assets and amortisation:

    Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase/completion is recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset. The useful life of intangible assets is determined on the basis of tenure of the contractual agreements governing the intangible assets.

    Intangible assets are amortised over the estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of the intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern.

    V. Impairment of assets:

    The carrying values of cash generating units at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated and impairment is recognised, if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except in case of revalued assets.

    VI. Inventories:

    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses where ever considered necessary. Cost of inventories comprises of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

    The methods of determining cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:

    Raw materials, Stores and Spares and Stock in trade : Weighted average costFinished Goods and Work in progress : Material cost plus appropriate share of labour and manufacturing

    overheads Cost of finished goods includes excise duty

    VII. Cash and cash equivalents:

    Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks with original maturity upto 3 month. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

    Demand deposits with original maturity of more than three months and less than twelve months are clubbed under Cash and cash equivalants.

    Demand deposits with original maturity of more than twelve months are disclosed under Long term deposit.

    VIII. Employee benefits:

    Benefits to employees comprise of provident fund, gratuity, leave encashment / compensated absences, superannuation and long service award.

    a) Defined contribution plans:

    The Company has a separate Superannuation Scheme for its officers under the aegis of the Life Insurance Corporation of India. Contributions made in accordance with the scheme of the Life Insurance Corporation of India are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

    Contributions to the employees’ state insurance fund, administered by the prescribed government authorities, are made in accordance with the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 and are recognized as an expense on an accrual basis.

    b) Defined benefit plans:

    Contributions towards Company’s gratuity liability made to Life Insurance Corporation of India are adjusted against the gratuity liability determined by an independent actuary as at year-end on the basis of “Projected Unit Credit Method”

  • 26

    and the short fall, if any, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case fair value of plan assets is in excess of the present value of the defined benefit obligations, the resultant asset is recognized as at balance sheet date.

    Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of change in actuarial assumptions and are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

    c) Multi-employer benefit:

    Contribution to the provident fund and family pension fund, administered through a private trust, is made in accordance with the provisions of the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis. Further, the Company gets an actuarial valuation done as at year-end to determine liability towards guaranteed interest rates, if any, and the same is also recognised as an expense on an accrual basis.

    d) Other employee benefits:

    The liability for long term compensated absence and long-term service award is recognised in accordance with the rules of the Company, based on actuarial valuation by an independent actuary carried out at the balance sheet date on the basis of “Projected Unit Credit Method”.

    The liabilities for employee benefit in form of short-term compensated absence (vesting as well as non-vesting) have been recognised at undiscounted amount, in accordance with the rules of the Company.

    Actuarial gains and losses comprise experience adjustments and the effects of change in actuarial assumptions and are recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

    IX. Foreign currency transactions:

    Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction.

    Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of the Company, outstanding at the balance sheet date are restated at the year-end rates. Non-monetary items of the Company are carried at historical cost.

    Exchange differences arising on settlement / restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

    X. Revenue recognition:

    Sale of goods

    Sale of goods are recognised, net of returns, trade discounts and repayable taxes on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, which generally coincides with the delivery of goods to customers for domestic sales and when delivered to carrier for export sales.

    Interest income

    Interest income is recognised on time proportionate basis determined by the amount outstanding and the rate applicable and where no significant uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists.

    XI. Research and development expenditure:

    All revenue expenses pertaining to research and development are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which these are incurred and expenditure of capital nature is capitalised as fixed assets.

    XII. Leases:

    Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating lease are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis.

    XIII. Borrowing cost:

    Borrowing costs include interest; amortisation of ancillary costs incurred and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost. Costs in connection with the borrowing of funds to the extent not directly related to the acquisition of qualifying assets are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss over the tenure of the loan. Borrowing costs, allocated to and utilised for qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction / development of the qualifying asset upto the date of capitalisation of such asset is added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

    XIV. Earnings/(loss) per share:

    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary

  • 27

    items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive securities are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.

    XV. Income tax:

    Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax charges.

    Current tax

    Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

    Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay income tax higher than that computed under MAT, during the period MAT is permitted to be set off under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

    Deferred tax

    Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of items other than unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. However, if there are unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise t
