Exim Limited (BKT Exim) into it and their respective shareholders and creditors under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956.

OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2016-2017:
The Company’s earnings are mainly generated through exports. Due to recessionary trends across the globe during past few years,
the business environment has been tough and challenging which has marginally impacted the revenue of the company during the
previous year. However, the long-term prospects of the company are good and promising. Your company is exploring all the avenues to
ensure growth of the business which includes; deeper penetration into existing market within India as well as outside India, extending
relationship with OEMs and expanding product range. With all such efforts, your company has aimed to achieve higher sales during
the current year.
OPPORTUNITY & THREATS:
OPPORTUNITIES:
Your company operates into a segment predominantly known as “large varieties-low volume segment”, which is not only capital
intensive but also labour intensive. Your Company is fully geared up to take advantage of the peculiarities of the said segment and has
developed a large base of SKUs to meet the diverse needs and applications.
Moreover, this segment is neither exposed to any technological obsolescence nor wild fluctuations in demand for its products.
The Company is continuously marching ahead to encash incremental opportunity in the form of developing “Earthmovers & mining
tyres markets and taking advantage of the shift from bias to radial tires, which is growing up continuously. In order to take advantage
of this opportunity, the company had first set up an all-steel OTR Radial tyre plant at its Chopanki location and now have added further
capacity at its Bhuj plant to produce large size all steel OTR radial tires besides other categories of tires. Your company is proud to be first
company in India to set up such plant. Your company is continuously expanding its base into its various sub-segments like agricultural,
industrial, construction, mining, winter and solid tyres under both technologies – bias as well as radials.
THREATS:
Like any other Company, your Company is also exposed to various threats like competition from small players, retention of employees,
labor unrest, increase in raw material prices and other input costs etc.
RISKS / CONCERNS AND RISK MITIGATION:
Fluctuation in Raw Material prices: The Company’s major raw material is Natural Rubber, which is an agricultural commodity and actively
traded on the commodities exchanges. Its prices fluctuate significantly and have witnessed significant volatility in the past. During last
two years, the raw material prices have been soft in the back drop of subdued business environment across the globe. Of late, it has
started moving up. In certain raw materials, the movement has been sharp. We do not foresee any immediate reversal in the price trend.
In order to minimize such risks, the Company not only enters into medium-term contracts but also adopts the policy to “Buy and Stock”
large quantities during the lean period.
Since most of the raw materials are imported, the company is exposed to foreign currency risk. However, it enjoys natural hedge as most
of its revenues are in foreign currency.
Labour Relations: Since Company’s manufacturing process is that of batch processing, it requires lot of skilled as well as un-skilled
workers. Maintaining a huge work force is a big challenge.
In order to mitigate the said risk, the Company follows good HR practices to promote the welfare, safety of its workmen and improve
the work environment. All workers are paid more than adequate remuneration for their work.
Retention of skilled manpower: Like other players in the industry, the Company is also exposed to this risk, more particularly when there
is shortage of skilled manpower in the industry.
The Company is able to manage the said risk by good HR practices and rewarding its employees handsomely.
Currency fluctuation: As stated earlier the company revenues are mainly generated through exports. The Company also imports lot of
its raw materials and capital equipment’s. Moreover, all its borrowings are in foreign currency and it is therefore exposed to risks due
to currency fluctuations.
The Company follows the system of hedging its receivables (net off payables) well in advance by entering into Forward Contracts,
thereby protecting itself from the fluctuations in currencies.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:
The Company has adequate system of internal controls to ensure that all the assets are safeguarded and are productive. Necessary
checks and balances are in place to ensure that transactions are adequately authorized and reported correctly. The Internal Auditors of
the Company conduct Audits of various departments to ensure that the necessary controls are in place. The Audit Committee of the
Board reviews these and the Company, when needed, takes corrective actions.

charges) and is net of permissible credits/set offs.

the assets in accordance with Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, on Straight Line Method except in respect of Plant and
Equipment where the useful life is considered differently based on an independent technical evaluation as 10 to 15 years.
Investments
Investments are valued at cost plus attributable expenses of acquisition and are classified as Long Term Investments and Current
Investments (investments intended to be held for not more than one year). Long Term Investments are stated at cost. However, where
there is a diminution, other than temporary, in the value of a long-term investment, necessary provision is made to recognise the decline.
Current Investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value, computed on individual investment basis.
Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of the cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories is computed on moving weighted average basis.

and condition.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are inclusive of Excise Duty but excluding Value Added Tax/Central Sales Tax and are net of Trade Discounts, Rebates and Incentives.

has yet to be made. Export Incentives under Focus Product Scheme, Focus Market Scheme and MEIS – Merchandise Exports from India
Scheme under EXIM policy/ Foreign Trade Policy are accounted for on the basis of its utilization. Profit/Loss on sale of such licenses, if
any, is accounted in the year of sale.
Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the day of the transaction. Gains and losses arising
out of subsequent fluctuations are accounted on actual payment/realisation. Monetary items related to foreign currency transactions,
remaining unsettled at the end of the year are adjusted at the rates prevailing at the year end or are stated at the amounts likely to
be realised or required to be disbursed, except for those considered doubtful of recovery. The exchange fluctuation arising on account
of such adjustments are dealt in Profit and Loss Account. Non-monetary items are reported by using the exchange rate at the date of
transaction.

rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets, subject to the consideration

factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
A provision is made based on a reliable estimate when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be
required to settle an obligation. Contingent Liabilities, if material, are disclosed by way of notes to accounts. Contingent Assets are not
recognised or disclosed in the financial statements.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)
In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2016,
we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Balkrishna Industries Limited (“the Holding Company”) and its
subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.
The Respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India,
are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria
established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI’). These responsibilities
include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring
the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention
and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable
financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the
“Guidance Note”) issued by ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established
and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend
on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error.
58
Annual Report 2015-16
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial
control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Holding Company and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial
reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established
by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

factors. An impairment loss is recognised wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.
A provision is made based on a reliable estimate when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be
required to settle an obligation. Contingent Liabilities, if material, are disclosed by way of notes to the accounts. Contingent Assets are
